The property is absolutely beautiful and the views are spectacular. It was a great experience and hope to rent again next year. The host, Jim, was very responsive and picked up the phone when I called or texted me back right away.
It was a great property and everything we had hoped for so the extended family could enjoy. There was a boat on the property that we rented so we could explore the lakes.
beautiful vacation home with a little bit of everything!Manager was available for an initial tour and for any issues during our stay….coming back again next year!:)
We could not have appreciated more James and the house team's work, support and help in a lovely, well-maintained and spotless place in a beautiful, quiet corner of the Adirondacks. We were particularly appreciative of our ability to bring our dogs.
This property is amazing! The property manager was exceptionally easy to work with and very accommodating. Beds were comfortable, property was stunning and the water was great. Highly recommend staying here.
The house was everything we could have imagined. Great location for activities in the Greater Saranac Lake region. The manager, property, and all amenities were perfect. Secluded location on a lake was an excellent get-away!!
This house is every bit as perfect as the pictures show, and then some. The features and amenities are top-notch. The location and the serenity of the property are unparalleled; it really made for a special family reunion. The host was responsive and personable, provided helpful tips for local attractions and restaurants, and was genuinely committed to my family having an unforgettable experience.
Super location, plenty of space, large kitchen with everything we need, this place is a great option for a large group. Dealing with Jim was easy and he was available for our questions. We hope to be back in the future!
We spent the perfect fall weekend in the property. The house is beautiful and clean, the lake location is just paradise. Service was great and Jim was super nice and responsive. The only but was the kitchen: pots, pans, serving plates, utensils, etc were in need of a serious update.some drawers were broken
This property is one-of-a kind. Location, amenities, aesthetics, are all over-the-top. Even in the deep of winter it's head and shoulders above anywhere we've ever stayed. Kudos to Jim for being an excellent manager of the property.
We have loved this house and the aura of hospitality that fills it. The thoughtful details that bring joy (the flowers, the beautifully set table, the preparation of the fireplace), along with the overall masterpiece—the spectacular architecture of the house and its uncompromising comfort—confirm that the owners are truly generous.And Jim embody these values in a wonderful way. It was a pleasure to renew our friendship with our American neighbors (!)
This home is beautiful. Our 3 generation family loved every minute. Main kitchen has everything needed to toast a muffin, to baking Mac n cheese. The outdoor grill and firepit were very useful. Beds are comfortable. Bathrooms spacious. Property well maintained. It was great walking out on the private dock every morning to fish or swim. Property manager toured us through the house upon our arrival. We were greeted in the kitchen by a pretty vase of flowers. Dining room table was set! Wi-fi worked great. The game room was a huge hit with all is us. An excellent experience one we hope to return to.
We stayed here with three families, each with two teenage young adults. We came to enjoy post-Christmas getaway and hoped for a winter wonderland. This fit the bill perfectly.
The location is private and surrounded by the beauty one hopes to experience when planning a trip to the Adirondacks. It is also close to Whiteface (we spent a day skiing), Lake Placid (we spent a day shopping, ice skating and touring the Olympic facility) and plenty of outdoor adventures in Saranac Lake or The Adirondacks.
Jim was always immediately responsive, easy to communicate with and oriented us to the magnificent property efficiently and graciously.
The home/lodge is just perfect. Clean, orderly, magnificent. Kitchen is well stocked, the bedrooms are cozy and the we enjoyed relaxing evenings every night by the grand fireplace with plenty of wood to burn for hours and hours.
Thank you for a fantastic experience!
Our family of 15 (ages 5-71) had a FANTASTIC time at Longbow Lodge. The lodge is Gorgeous and as others have said the pictures don't do justice to the reality of the place. It was very cozy (especially with the lovely Christmas decorations) yet spacious enough that there was plenty of room for privacy.
We enjoyed playing games and doing jigsaw puzzles by the fireplace along with making use of the pool table, ping pong table and dart game.The kitchen had everything we needed and more.
The lodge is close to Whiteface Mt. Several family members enjoyed skiing for two days. Lake Placid Village is even closer. We enjoyed spending the day there checking out the Olympic Museum, the shops and restaurants. We also went to the Olympic Jumping Comples and took the Skyride Gondala. We were lucky enough to see some ski jumpers practicing.
Jim, the manager, could not have been nicer.
He was very accomodating and got back to us in a timely manner with answers to any questions we had.
Overall we had a very memorable vacation.
We would definitely recommend Longbow Lodge to everyone. And we would love to return someday, maybe visit in the summertime.

Our group of 10 adults, 4 teens, one infant and one dog was nicely accommodated. Jim, the property manager, greeted us on arrival, showed us around, and answered all questions. The setting on Kiwassa Lake was lovely. The house was well equipped. We enjoyed the privacy of the property along with proximity to town. Overall, a top notch experience for all.
Such a wonderful vacation location! The lake is absolutely stunning and the house is even more amazing in person than in the photos. The property manager is very helpful and kind. We cannot wait to return!
We rented Longbow for a holiday family vacation. Our ages ranged from 15-80 years old and the property pleased them all! Check in was easy. Jim was a great help with anything we needed. The house was amazing, clean and really well stocked with all the little things you may have forgotten in the kitchen. We enjoyed cooking, barbecuing, fishing, kayaking and the rental of the pontoon boat. Early morning coffee listening to the loons on the lake was magical. Although our party did fine I would mention the stairs and grade of the hill down to the water could be a challenge for those older or physically challenged. I would highly recommend this property for a stay.
