We had an absolutely terrific 2 week stay that included our grown children, grandchildren, and our friends. The house is everything in the description and more - plenty of room, extremely well stocked (including the kitchen, which has everything one could possibly need), beautiful outdoor spaces, various porches with plenty of seating, lots of games as well as arts & crafts for the kids. Check in was seamless, and the house was exceptionally clean and welcoming. We are looking forward to returning!

Perfect location, beautiful home!

We had such an amazing time at this property. I went with my family and we slept 12 people comfortably. There is something to do for everyone and about a 30 minute drive to Lake Placid. Host was communicative and friendly. Highly recommend!

The home was perfect for our family gathering. Loved the location on the lake and the view from the boat house was great. The kitchen had everything we needed and it, along with the dining room area and screened porch formed a perfect gathering place. The availability of the boat house in which I could keep my boat and the availability of all of the amenities to enjoy the lake was perfect. Finally, any questions we had during our stay were quickly answered and the caretaker's support was awesome.

Relaxation and comfort

This was our 2nd stay at Camp Saranac and it was thoroughly enjoyable. We decided in advance to cook in for the entire week and the kitchen had everything we needed. Plenty of room to spread out and plenty of activities to keep everyone occupied as much as they would like to. Can't wait for our next adventure.

Nice place

The place is very nice and the owners are very generous with their stuff. Very clean and the lake is large and beautiful. Boat house and deck were used a lot! Only issue was elderly people have problems getting to boat house. Stairs are steep.

Perfect for our family

This house is exactly as pictured. It's huge, with plenty of space for everyone to relax. The boathouse rooftop deck is wonderful, with fabulous views and plenty of seating. We enjoyed the boats, paddleboard, and floaties. We used the kitchen a lot and it had everything you could possibly want for cooking. Both Sheri, the owner, and Rich, the caretaker, were extremely responsie and pleasant. Would recommend.

This place looks just like it's pictures. Large, comfortable rooms and outdoor spaces to gather in. Great deck on top of the lakehouse . Never stayed at a better equipped place...they had all the dishes, utensils, pots, pans, spices, cooking basics, etc. Keurig and drip coffee maker. 2 refrigerators. Playroom for kids in garage house. The host was responsive to our questions. Location was great for getting to Lake Placid, Tupper Lake, Saranac Lake and numerous hiking trails from easy to challenging. A great place to dtay

A+ Winter Getaway

Fantastic stay for a large group. We visited in February for a ski trip—close proximity to Whiteface Resort for skiing and nearby towns for groceries/restaurants. Fully stocked sleeping quarters, kitchen, and entertainment options. Sheri was communicative and reachable 24/7 (including a housekeeper who swung by onsite), sent us very detailed check-in and check-out instructions, and promptly addressed any questions or issues our group raised. We believe any one-off issues we had would not affect future guests. We would happily stay at her property again.

A dream come true

We have been taking family vacations in the Adirondacks for several years now and Camp Saranac is the absolute cream of the crop. The house is magnificent, yet Sheri makes you feel so completely comfortable, that it’s a home, not just a house. The boat house is the center of lake activity and it’s incredible to have all those amenities plus a roof deck to relax on and watch the kiddies fish. There is every amenity you could imagine, from family games to an array of spices. We can’t wait to do it again!

Beautiful house and location

This house was amazing. Beautiful views from the water front, rooftop boathouse dock! The house has everything you need and the owners share whatever is in the house! The kayaks, paddle boards,and boat with motor were all great additions. We really enjoyed spending time on the water. The smallmouth bass fishing was excellent. It’s a beautiful area and easy drive to hikes, lake placid (great Main Street) and Whiteface mountain! One of the nicest places my family has rented and great communication with the owners! Highest recommendation!

Roomy house. Lots of sleeping options and plenty of room to spread out, play games, eat. Well stocked kitchen and large grill for cooking. Beautiful deck on top of boathouse. Plenty of towels and washer/dryer to refresh them. Upper Saranac Lake is gorgeous, fresh, clean water. Not a lot of boat traffic, quiet, esp on this part of the lake. Perfect depth at dock for easily docking boat, swimming (not wade in, if you have little ones—we didn’t). Be aware that the descent from house first floor to boathouse is a fairly steep 80 steps, mostly rock steps. Can be a bit much for lots of back and forth from house to lake . We had one handicapped person with us and needed to pick her up at Marina to enjoy the lake. Renting pontoon boat from upper Saranac Marina for the week allowed for seeing the entire lake.

Amazing!

Once a year my husband and I invite our adult children and their families to vacation with us. This year we chose the Adirondacks because none of us had ever spent much time there. I am so thankful I found Camp Saranac and that it was available for our group of 14. Six children ages 12,10, 7,7,7, and 4 had a fabulous time in and on the water, playing in the field behind the garage, and playing Foosball in the garage. I can't imagine a better place for an extended family gathering. There was construction going on next door, but they weren't working in the evening when we were enjoying the quiet of the lake, so it wasn't a negative impact. The house is stunning with lots of places for adults to gather (the screened porch was especially popular). Plenty of life vests for all sizes, paddleboards, kayaks, canoe, and small boat were all put to good use. I don't know about the rest of Upper Saranac Lake, but this end had minimal boat traffic. Only one occasional jet ski and motor boat, which was perfect for our beginner paddle boarders. Grocery runs were about 15 minutes away, but the drive is easy and scenic. Sheri was a great host. Very responsive with a "come enjoy our home" welcome, We were all sorry to see this vacation come to an end! Highly recommend.

We had an amazing stay at Camp Saranac-from our arrival to our last day everything was just wonderful. The property is amazing and extremely well appointed . The lake frontage was beautiful and the dock and patio were favorite gatherings spots. We were close to all we wanted to do from hiking to biking to browsing in Saranac Lake and Lake Placid. Highly recommend!! We will be back!!!

The house is beautiful with plenty of space for our party of 12. The downstairs bedroom with two twins and two trundle beds provided a great opportunity for our grandchildren to be together. Both the main floor and upper floor king suites provided privacy if and when desired. The kitchen was fully equipped as described.The view of the lake from the main floor was nice though limited. The views from the upstairs king BR and the office were outstanding. Note access to the boathouse is via a winding path with many steps.The boathouse was well equipped with kayaks, paddle boards and floats. Our crowd enjoyed all of these.The host, Sheri was very responsive.
