Our family of five with three young adult children had a wonderful time. The house is great, really beautiful. We loved our time on the lake. Easily arranged for a couple of kayaks to be dropped off at the house. Yes, there are lots of stairs to the lake and would not be ideal for some but we enjoyed them. So lovely to be in the trees and on the water. The house was clean, the kitchen had the things we needed to cook and BBQ. We hope to come back.
Nice property but lots of steps to water and is a bit of a trek with luggage from cars to main house. Could use another full bathroom on 2nd floor of main house.
As in the other reviews, there are definitely a lot of stairs to get down from the house to the water but the house is perched on a cliff so it's the only way. The house was very clean when we arrived. Kitchen was great for cooking, well equipped, and spacious. The boat house and fite put made for good nights down by the water. Their are numerous canoes and rafts to use, all in great shape. The 2nd house at the top of the driveway was great to. Very open floor plan and more newly rennovated. We hope to go back.
Very nice home with lots of room. Beautiful scenery, great dock and boathouse. Fun and campy with lots of charm
Had a wonderful time with the family. Boat house was a blast.
This is like living in the Adirondack Great Camps of old. A private Saraac lakeside complex -- main house, guesthouse, boathouse, fire pit, game room, porches overlooking the lake. Magnificent property with renovated well-stocked kitchen and house. New guest house with two bedrooms, one bath and kitchen plus sitting room. Furnished a cut above, lots of supplies for use, no stinting. You are living the private community Adirondack life. Caveats: Lots of steps between properties and to the beach. Master king bedroom has no bathroom, You either trek down to main floor or use the bathroom in the bedroom ext door, which is a little intimate. Queen on walk-out ground floor is nice, but the pump toilet on a septic tank is finicky and went down for a day and a half. Lots of fireplaces, decks and well-stocked kitchen. Locks were finicky and hopefully will be changed or fixed. We were locked out of guest cottage at one point. Adirondack Realty hosts were nice and responsive. Perfect place for muti-generational getaway, with ping pong and pool on rainy days. Easy access to town. Note: Those who don't deal well with steps, there are lots of them. It is a compound. I also would like to see more washcloths and better sheets.
Beautiful location, very quiet, but be prepared for lots of steps and going between buildings.
Three generations of our family stayed on this beautiful property together. Everyone was comfortable and enjoyed every meal on the porch or in the main home dining area, and also loved going off in small groups - or solo - to enjoy the myriad of indoor and outdoor spaces. Favorite moments: fishing and swimming off the docks, reading on the terraces, early canoe trips to fish, morning runs around Ampersand Bay, cooking/grilling and eating family-style in the main kitchen, snuggling up in cozy out-building, playing ping-pong in the boathouse, completing (almost!) a 1,000 piece puzzle in the kitchen banquette... the list goes on. We were also only about 30 minutes away from the ADK Loj/high peaks allowing two of our teens to finish their ADK 46ers on Mt. Marcy!! Six of us did the hike together and after an epic day of hiking, it was such a pleasure to return home to this cozy property (and have space to dry out our soaking-wet boots and gear on the amazing wrap-around porch)! The two girls have awesome memories of their final 46er hike and the family celebration on the porch at sunset that followed - awesome! It was hard to leave after an amazing week. Thank you!
Great property with lots of amenities. Close to downtown Saranac and short drive to Lake Placid and High Peaks hiking area. A true Adirondack experience.
The property and houses are beautiful! We didn’t realize that there was a labyrinth of stairs leading down to the water, which made it a bit difficult for some of our family members. But overall we really loved it.
