About this property

Balsam Hollow Cabin in the Adirondacks

Balsam Hollow is a newly built, charming rustic cabin that was created from the heart for our family, friends and you. From the all-wood exterior and interior, to the log railings in the loft, staircase and covered porch with wrap-around deck, our mission is to give our guests a true Adirondack Experience.

Enjoy our fire pit and on the 10 acre property you can snow shoe, cross-country ski and hike. We have a tankless water system to supply you with endless hot water.

Surrounded by nature, secluded and private, yet centrally located to Saranac Lake, Lake Placid, and Rainbow Lake with 25 miles of connecting waterways.

Even though we are tucked off the beaten trail we are close to so much adventure! Ice skating (pond style or rinks including the Olympic Oval in Lake Placid) Whiteface Mountain Ski Resort (18 miles) Bobsled rides, Toboggan Shoot, Sled Dog rides, Boating, Canoeing, Mountain Beaches, Swimming Holes, White Water Rafting, Hiking, Mountain Biking, and so much more!

Our pricing starts at a rate for 2 and with each additional guest it is $15.00 per night per guest.

For the security of our gursts and the safety of our home, we have an external security camera located in the driveway overlooking the drive with the home in the background.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Love this place!

We love it here! This was our second year staying here and we already booked for next year, really hoping we are able to stay here each year until we take the plunge and buy property of our own. This cabin is great in every way and the owners are truly fantastic! We travel with 3 adults and 2 kids and it is the perfect house for us, great location, secluded and woodsy, but a quick drive to civilization.

Family mountain getaway

The cabin was absolutely wonderful for our family vacation. Easy access to all the beautiful attractions nearby. My teenagers love the loft space and hung out up there every evening. Close to hiking fishing and a nearby ski resort. We highly recommend the gondola ride at whiteface mountain !

Cozy, Comfy Cabin

This was the perfect cabin for our stay in the Adirondacks. We wanted to visit the Olympic sites in Lake Placid and this cabin is less than 30 minutes away. However you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere with beautiful views of trees - which we loved. The cabin is well decorated and comfortable. We had everything we needed and it felt like a home away from home. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely home!

We had a great stay - this property is fantastic! Very clean and warm - the heated floors were a great touch for a cold week in February! The whole family loved the We were also big fans of the tankless water heater. Only change we would suggest was for the queen bed on the first floor - it was much squeakier than we were used to. We'd definitely stay here again!

Thank you for the suggestion, Tim! We were not aware of the squeak in the bed and we will address that as soon as possible. Glad your family enjoyed your stay with us and thank you for being awesome guests!

The absolute perfect upgrade for our family.

We have been traveling to this area for nearly 20 years, staying in various properties at first. The last 10 years we stayed at two different small cabins. We found this and it is the PERFECT size for us. It is beautiful and clean. Far enough into the woods where you feel secluded in nature but close enough to civilization if you need milk, cookies or ice cream! It has everything we needed and we loved it all. Communication with owners is TOP KNOTCH! We will 100% be back.

Everything and More

This cute little cabin in the woods was a great find. Secluded and yet close to all convinces of Saranac Lake and Lake Placid with several trails close by. The cabin is cozy, super clean, with everything you need and then some in the kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms and family room. A washer and dryer was a nice surprise. The wrap around porch with bbq is beautiful and restful. A fire pit behind the cabin was a nice addition. The owner Jill, was a gracious host and available when we needed to contact her, she was a joy to talk to and shared lots of information. Check in and check out was really easy. We would recommend this cabin to anyone who wants a carefree and restful vacation.

A gem 💎

My son and his wife family of girls 5,2, 5 months, and Mema, had more than enough room. Beautiful setting, wrap around porch with chairs and fire pit and plenty of wood to burn. Decor nice unique with cozy feeling. And like new. Kitchen adorable with all the necessary items. All cleaning items provided. There was even a bag of ice for us. General Dollar down the street for most needs. Bathroom is large and water pressure perfect. Plenty of towels and hairdryer. New washer/dryer. Bedrooms roomy but queen beds could be replaced, felt like old spring beds from childhood. Plenty of blankets and soft pillows and crisp clean sheets. Loved the string lites on the porch. And bright sunrise in the morning and moonlight at night through the big windows Would love to rent again .
