This classic Adirondack Cabin rental is a pet friendly vacation rental located on Kiwassa Outlet just 3 miles from Saranac Lake with a deck and is suitable for 4-5 people.

The Convenient Kitchen is fully equipped with a gas stove/oven, refrigerator, coffeemaker, toaster oven, sink, cooking utensils, flatware and dishes (service for 5).

The Living/Dining Area has a picture window facing the front of the cabin with a view of the water. It has a loveseat, dresser, large table with chairs. There is an electric monitor heater and wood stove to provide heat & ambience.

The Two Bedrooms each have a double bed including mattress covers and pillows (you'll need to bring your own linens, blankets & towels).

The Bathroom has a toilet, sink and shower stall. This Adirondack cabin rental also has an outhouse that can be used as a 'second bathroom'.

Linens, cleaning, etc…
Cabin is a housekeeping cabin rental which means there is no maid service. Guests bring their own linens, towels, blankets, etc. Guests must leave the cabin as they found it, otherwise the security deposit will be forfeited.


Pet Policy
Before your stay, you must notify us that you will be bringing your pet or your reservation may be considered void upon arrival. All guests must read and agree to the owner's pet policy.

Up for an Adirondack Adventure?
After, during or apart from your stay, take a canoe/camping trip. Park your car at the cabin property and transportation will be arranged for you, your gear, including canoe/kayak, at Lower or Middle Saranac Lake where camping is available on an Adirondack island. At that point, your adventure will begin! Navigate your way back to Kiwassa Lake through the Lower Saranac Lake locks including, if you desire, a night camping during your trek back. Camping will need to be arranged by you but if you are interested, we can direct you to the reservation site.

What to bring
The property is amidst 20+ wooded Adirondack acres. It is wise to bring flashlights and sneakers as the path to the cabin is naturally wooded. Other items: binoculars for the beautiful scenery, hiking/boating gear, food, linens (except pillows), charcoal if you plan to grill, games or books for entertainment (no TVs).

Internet and Cell phones
Due to the Adirondack wooded preserve, Internet and cell phones may not be accessible at your cabin. However, the nearby property and greens are WiFi compatible. Feel free to bring your laptop and set up on the porch (or on a cozy Adirondack chair on the main lawn area).

The Area
The property is located on Lake Kiwassa Kiwassa Outlet, 3 miles by paved road from the Village of Saranac Lake, which has supermarkets, restaurants, sporting goods stores, Adirondack gift shops, taxis, churches, garages, banks, golf courses, tennis, basketball courts, hiking trails, and Laundromats.

The Waterways
From the property you are able to travel by boat, to the Village of Saranac Lake. You may also enjoy a waterway trip 40 miles through scenic Adirondack lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, and go through State locks into the Adirondack State Preserve. Adirondack lake stream fishing for trout, bass, perch, northern pike, whitefish and panfish is available as well.

The Other Stuff
Not far away are the Adirondack Mountain attractions such as Whiteface Mountain and chairlift, the North Pole, Great Escape Adventure Park, Ausable Chasm, Adirondack Museum, the Olympic Center and the Lake Placid Village, Six Nations Indian Museum and the N.Y. State Fish Hatchery.

COVID-19 INFORMATION & SAFETY

We’re Sanitizing Even What You Don't See
The check-in time of our cabins will be extended to allow us to use our new equipment to air out each cabin between guests and sanitize what you see and don't see.

Whatever Comes Next, We're Thinking About It Today
We’re closely monitoring the NY State Governor’s guidance. Our operations will undoubtedly change and we appreciate your patience and consideration in advance.

Our Expectations of Guests
Taking Care
We are a small family business simply trying to navigate what the new normal is while also trying to maintain the health of our guests and ourselves. We expect that our guests have taken great care and precaution, as we have, to self-quarantine and social distance. We know the Adirondacks is beloved to many which is why we’re opening our doors in a limited way. We will welcome guests who have self-quarantined prior to arrival for 14 days and who are feeling well and healthy. We expect our guests to be honest - that they have not come into contact with anyone that has had active COVID-19. Our cabins host 8 or fewer people. Only one cabin will be rented to each party. We will disallow congregating in groups of more than 10. This restriction may ease later in the summer. If you do not feel you can meet these expectations, please cancel your reservation.

For guests who launch a boat off-property on their day of arrival, you may park your car and boat trailer at the top of our property - to arrange permission for this, please contact us 24 hours in advance of your arrival. For guests without a boat, we highly recommend you make your travel arrangements in conjunction with an outdoor activity along the way to allow you to abide by our later check-in. If you’d like, we can contact you when your cabin is available.

Would not stay again
Mattresses were awful, no water the first day due to a pump repair. Unpleasant smell for the first 2 days, owner made aware so windows were opened and air freshners added but still persisted until the last day. Owner was pleasant but food items were moved from a table to a pantry cupboard without our permission and washed our dirty dishes which I guess was okay but weird. Felt like this was a little intrusive. Blankets or sleeping bags were needed but only sheets were noted. Small dock but a very pretty view if you bring chairs.

Fun Little Cabin
We had a great time, it was clean. We went during late July. It was hot overall, but the cabin was surrounded by trees, so it was pretty cool inside. Clean, had some games like dominos and puzzles. Literal water view. Would recommend if you want to get away. 10mins from the town, and no mobile signal at the cabin, so you're disconnected.

Wonderful as always for the last 4 years. Always a perfect ADK spot
Great property! Everything you need to unplug and enjoy the Adirondacks and Saranac Lake. Camp George has a newly built boat dock and wrap porch. Have brought our boat up for 2 years now. We hate to leave after a week here!

About the host

Hosted by Marjorie Cochran

Host profile image
We own several properties in the area and this cabin is one of our favorites. We have lived in the Adirondacks since 1991 but have been part-time residents since the 1960s. We even attended the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid! We can offer suggestions for activities unless you simply want to rest and relax in a cabin.

Why they chose this property

This is the most scenic area in the east! It is an easy place to rest, relax and enjoy life at a slower pace. Kiwassa Lake is an idyllic and quiet lake and most guests return year after year to get away from the hustle and bustle of a faster pace.

The cabin offers a wonderful deck with Adirondack chairs that allow guests to put their feet up, read a book and soak up the view of the water. As night falls, the fire pit on site allows for an outdoor ambiance like none other.

What makes this property unique

Our property is a dream come true. While there , guests enjoy bird watching, reading and traveling by boat to the nearby Village of Saranac Lake. Often guests will take in a sighting of the lake's loon and its beautiful calls. Other guests have said they have seen eagles, deer, fish jumping, wild types of birds, etc…
