It is always a pleasure to stay here. Convenient location, clean apartments, well stocked with what you might need, and an owner who cares and wants to make sure everything is great!
Perfect getaway for iur Girls' Weekend! So much to do inthe area. We loved coming back to the house to just relax and hang out. The apartment was clean, and had a well appointed kitchen that met all our needs. I would definitely stay here again!
Great location, close to downtown as well as a grocery store. Clean and comfortable accommodations. Would definitely stay here again. BBQ worked well and was nice to have access to.
We came to visit our son, which was only up the street from him! Location was awesome! We hiked on Baker Mountain, walked to Moody Lake, went for Coffee at Origin, and had breakfast at Blue Moon! Great stay! Definitely would come again!
Older property with recent remodel. Had everything we needed. Close to shops, breweries and restaurants. Pricing was very reasonable versus the 400 a night hotel rental in town. Great rail trail biking nearby.
Bruce was very attentive and accommodating. The location was amazing! The only time we got in our car was to visit Lake Placid. Thanks for a great weekend.
Loved this property, will definitely look to see if it’s available again next time we’re back in Saranac!!

Liked: Cleanliness, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
The furthest bedroom was not level with the rest of the house. Which made me feel dizzy and sick to my stomach. So my husband and I had to sleep in the middle room on the bunk bed. Also, in order to get to the bathroom you have to walk through the middle room. On the positive side, the rest of the place was very nice and clean. Location is great. Just wish that the master bedroom was level with the rest of the place, and the description was more clear on the location of the bathroom.
This was our second visit to this apartment, and we absolutely love the location. It's clean, equipped with all the necessary amenities, and the host communicates throughout the entire process. Check-in and check-out process is a breeze.
This was a wonderful property, located within walking distance of restaurants and shopping. Very clean and cozy, had anything we could have asked for! And the grocery store was also within walking distance! We will definitely stay here again!
This rental is perfect for anyone looking to stay in Saranac Lake. The location couldn’t be better, being within easy walking distance of all the local restaurants and shops. The rooms were immaculate and included all the comforts of home. The property manager was quick to respond to all our inquiries, making the process smooth and hassle-free. Hands down 5 stars.
Wasn't expecting "train style" (go through one bedroom to get to the next) bedrooms, but they were accurately described on the site and worked out fine.
Family enjoyed our time together. Thank you for your hospitality.
The communication with property manager was the best I’ve ever experienced! He went out of his way to ensure that we had accommodations after our son’s college “move in” dates changed. The rental was immaculate and location perfect for what we needed. Saranac Lake has some great restaurants and everything was within walking distance. Will definitely be staying here again!
Great Place, such a handy location. Loved having the library 2 doors down for the ADK Research Room. Lots of trails to hike, and the best part of this town, is the people. All were so friendly, helpful, and wonderful sense of humor all over the place. Come and visit to have this small hometown experience. VJC
The apartment is pretty much as listed. It would definitely not work for two couples as you would need to go through the bunk bed room to get to the bathroom. It was very well supplied, was super clean, was in a perfect location, and the owner was great to work with. It's across the street from the Hotel Saranac and only two blocks from the bike trail. Unfortunately, this makes it pretty noisy with trucks struggling up the hill. Our biggest problem was the queen bed. It was so lumpy on one side that one of us had to take a bunk bed.

About the host
Hosted by Bruce Thomsen
I’m a lifelong Adirondack local — my family has lived and worked in the Saranac Lake area for over 50 years. Hosting gives us the chance to share everything we love about this region — from the crisp mountain air and endless outdoor adventures to the small-town charm that makes Saranac Lake so special. As a family-run business, we take pride in creating stays that feel personal, comfortable, and authentically Adirondack.
Why they chose this property
Our neighborhood in Saranac Lake perfectly captures the best of the Adirondacks — peaceful, walkable, and full of character. Step outside and you’re minutes from Lake Flower, local cafes, and the farmers market. The village has a welcoming, creative energy with musicians, artists, and outdoor enthusiasts around every corner. I love how you can grab a coffee, watch the sunrise over the water, and still be just a short drive from the trails, lakes, and slopes that make this region world-famous.
What makes this property unique
What makes our property unique is the blend of historic charm and modern comfort — it’s a fully renovated Adirondack retreat thoughtfully designed for all four seasons. Guests love the private enclosed porch, bright natural light, and convenient downtown location just minutes from Lake Placid. But what truly sets us apart is the local connection — we’re not a management company; we’re a family that’s lived here for generations, and we care deeply about making sure every guest experiences the real Adirondacks the way locals do.
