The property is beautiful and spacious, the photos on the listing don't do it justice. The host was very friendly, communicative and accomidating. We had a great time and are definitely planning to visit again!
House was absolutely perfect for us. Extremely spacious and better than the pictures. Host was very accommodating. Hope to come back for a longer stay.
Four of us stayed, ages 58-78. This house is very large and wonderful! It is directly on Kiwassa Lake, and easy to get the provided boats into the water. You can boat (canoe, kayak, flat bottom) to Oseetah Lake, and then into Lake Flower, or use the locks (which was fun!) to get to Second Pond, and then the Saranac Lakes. The home is very quiet and peaceful. You cannot see or hear any neighbors. Downtown Saranac Lake is only three miles away, and then Lake Placid another ten minutes, with endless hiking available!! We will definitely try to make this home a yearly tradition!!
A bit more rustic than expected but the host, Alan, was extremely responsive and willing to please, and that goes a long way. He answered any query within minutes. Very peaceful setting with the cries of the loons at night. Great hiking nearby. Two restaurants right in Saranac Lake -- The Left Bank, and Fiddlehead, we're very good.
Large home with room for all 6 of us. Very well equipped with a great kitchen. The host is very accommodating. The lake is beautiful with lots of fish.
Stylish and comfortable digs in a gorgeous location. Alan was a fantastic host. Very responsive and pleasant. Highly recommend this property.
Great communication with Allan, who was checking making sure we had all we needed and was very responsive. Some kitchen utensils missing but he did come and bring it to us same day. Highly recommend Allan’s place!
We had a wonderful Christmas Vacation! Truly a winter wonderland experience. Owner kept us supplied with firewood and maintained walkways (We had some snow). Kept up with communication very well. The house is well-kept and well-supplied. It has beautiful views and and is in a great location- close to Saranac Lake (about 8-10 minutes), only a 18-20 minute drive to Lake Placid, 30 minutes to Whiteface. Definitely considering returning for a summer vacation at the lake!
We had a lovely time
Exceptional overall experience - from pre-booking questions, to packing up and heading out. The house is quite large, which you can tell from the description, but it’s also spread out, so it would be great for large groups to be together but also have some space. Spacious, very well-appointed kitchen. Squeaky clean. Beautiful lake views, a stone patio overlooking the lake, great local food (Saranac and Lake Placid very close) & lots of hiking opportunities on top of everything else. Big thumbs up for being so dog friendly; our two big dogs loved being with us. We had several cold dreary days and still had an amazing time. Many thanks to Alan, the property manager. Highly recommend.
A tranquil, spacious vintage home with updates. Comfortable mattresses, a fully stocked kitchen, kayaks, a canoe, an aluminum row boat & a great host. This camp has it all!!!
This was the perfect lake front property. Kiwassa Lake is so peaceful and the community is so welcoming. We had a great extended weekend for our niece's wedding. Alan was great to communicator.
We have not seen the property, but I couldn't fill this out without filling in every category about the experience. We were unable to stay at Alan's property due to last minute illness. But we can say that he is a most responsive host, answering our questions along the way very promptly and even writing a letter for our insurance company to confirm the cancellation policy. A great disappointment not to go to what seems to be a lovely place. Hoping for next year!
Great lake home to get away to in the Fall or Winter - very private. rustic but well appointed.
Classic older camp right on the water
The process with owner and VRBO was a pleasant experience This Adirondack house on Kiwassa Lake near Saranac is your classic lodge The house is very spacious, with some very large bedrooms, well equipped kitchen, excellent lake views and plenty of parking. We would definitely stay here again.
