Frequently asked questions
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.
