Great place for a rental! It is in between saranac lake and lake placid so you can drive 20min in each direction and get both experiences. 2min drive from a biking path and there is amazing BBQ just down the road. House was clean and had everything you need. Would definitely book again!

Perfect location

Location is ideal for access to both Lake Placid and Saranac while being able to be a bit removed from the downtown hustle of both. Everything was newly updated and spotless - great outdoor space too. Loved the screened in back porch.

Wonderful and Cozy Cabin

This cabin was perfect for our family of four. The kitchen is huge and the island was perfect place for us to both eat and hang out together. The kitchen has every utensil you could want and the pantry provides lots of space for storing groceries. The living room is super inviting for family time as well. I enjoyed coffee each morning in the bug-free 3 season room. It was a 5 star stay all around.

Delightful stay

I am so happy I ended up choosing this place. We rented for the weekend to celebrate my son's birthday. The house is absolutely adorable, very clean. I was just amazed at how the owners made sure we knew where everything was and the house was stocked with everything. The house was beautiful inside, and we felt so cozy and comfortable there! Thanks for making our 1st trip to Lake Placid a great one!

Wonderful week!

We just got back from our stay in Ray Brook and really loved the cabin. The furnishings were very nice, and the bed was super comfortable. The location is convenient to both Lake Saranac and Lake Placid, with lots of hiking trails nearby. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and plenty of space to eat and play board games on the island. Our dog loved the windows and screened in porch. Highly recommend!

Excellent choice!

We very much enjoyed the house. Right off the main road between Saranac Lake & Lake Placid so it was conveniently located for us. It was very clean and seemed newly renovated. We were there on a hot weekend and found it comfortable temperature wise. The wifi signal was good all weekend long. We loved the screened-in porch, that made the place perfect. Our host was attentive and we had no reason to contact her throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend and will stay here again if the occasion arises.

Nice cottage in Raybrook

The house was clean and well suited to our group of 4. The kitchen was well equipped and thoughtfully laid out, the main living area was adjacent to the kitchen which was nice. There were nice outdoor options as well, the screened back porch and screen house were pleasant outdoor spaces. The property was conveniently located to many area attractions and a minute from a beautiful rail trail, as well as the trail to Scarface, a very nice hike. Overall the experience was delightful, the hosts were responsive but also very hands off, I would highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a high peaks experience, or even just the overall Adirondack feel.

My brother and I and our dogs spent a few days in July based here while we bird watched, and the place was ideal. Conveniently located just off the main road, but surrounded by woods and isolated from traffic noise. Outdoor area very pleasant and lower than the road adding to the sense of peace. Fenced in yard perfect for our medium-small dogs (though perhaps not secure for extremely small ones -- beware).Inside was clean, well-stocked, and super comfortable. Beds were great, the kitchen had everything we needed, living room furniture was nice, and they provided a quilt for pups who want to be on the couch. We happened to be there during a heat wave, and the bedroom air conditioning units were more than adequate to keep the entire house comfortable.So much to do in the area, but if like us, you are looking for non-challenging outdoors walks, the rail trail can be accessed a very short distance down Ray Brook Road.
