FABULOUS VACATION HOME!!!

Chuck and Joan clearly made every effort to create an outstanding vacation home - from the meticulous handbook answering all questions to the amenities to the completely fitted out kitchen to the relaxing and comfortable furnishings and decor. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would love to return. Book your stay there - you won't be disappointed!

beautiful property, new and comfortable furnishings, great spot for our family vacation!

Our extended family's get-away for 1 week was perfect in this delightful property on the water. Boating, swimming, lawn game area, biking around the nearby campground, campfire, and nice indoor game area with pool table, darts, fireplaces. The owners were very responsive when we had any questions prior to or during the rental process. Would highly recommend this property! Lots of room to spread out inside, and spotless!

Fantastic Property with Fantastic Owners

We enjoyed our 2021 stay at LaJeunesse Lodge so much we went back in 2022. The home has been beautifully renovated, the accommodations are complete and comfortable, and the owners are a pleasure to communicate with. Our visits have been in winter and there is plenty to see and do in the area, but we would love to return in the summer as well. LaJeunesse Lodge makes a great destination for family and friends.

Large well-appointed house on beautiful lakefront

State of the art amenities in a traditional Adirondack setting. The rental had everything my group [8 men] could have asked for and more. We agreed we would consider returning next fall.

Wonderful Family Getaway

We had an absolutely wonderful week away at this beautiful home. Four generations of our family enjoyed every aspect of the house, yard and lake. Chuck and Joan thought of every need we might have and the house is spectacular! The kids loved the game area, jumping off the dock, and roasting marshmallows by the fire. The screened in porch was perfect for playing games and relaxing in the evening. We can’t wait to return next year!

Beautiful House, Great Hosts

This house is even more impressive in person than it is in the photos, and the hosts could not have been more accommodating. The entire house is beautifully renovated, the lakeside location is ideal, and the game-room/bar area upstairs is perfect for spending evenings with family and friends. We visited in winter and had a blast; I can only imagine how much fun it would be in summer. We booked our next visit to LaJeunesse Lodge before we even packed up to go home.

Wonderful location on Fish Creek

The lodge's accommodations exceeded our expectations in every way. The living areas were spacious and well equipped with sound and entertainment. The outdoor space was perfect for our two small kids and convenient to the water. Having the marina and trading post next door allowed us to enjoy vacation without having to plan too far ahead for necessities. The story of the lodge and its renovation was breathtaking. Overall, Chuck was an excellent host and we loved our stay!

Perfect ADK Trip

Everything was PERFECT! Location - right on the water in between Tupper Lake and Saranac Lake, lots of hikes, views, grocery store, restaurants. Lodge - amazing, well decorated, enjoyed the many historical photos, had every amenity needed, kids loved pool table, foosball, and collection of board games on rainy day. Large screened back deck was enjoyed for the views, morning coffee, meals, games, and conversations. Kayaks, canoes, docks, grassy area, and fire pit were all wonderful. Hosts are thoughtful and communicated appropriately.

Always the best.

The set up is perfect. Kitchen has everything. Entertainment center is nice with two large TVs up and down stairs, Pool table, and plenty of board games. Screened in porch, which I always sit in, is the best. Made a fire a few of the nights in the fire pit. Secluded but not too far from Saranac and Tupper Lake. Did some boating, it is perfect. You guys are great. Has everything we needed.

Upper Saranac - Upper Crust!

Five couples travel to the Adirondacks each summer. This is the nicest place we've ever stayed and we've been doing this for 17 years! The interior of this lodge is gorgeous and well equipped. The kitchen has everything you need. The location is perfect. There's plenty of room for your own boat at the dock or you can rent a motorboat at a nearby marina, within walking distance. Canoes, kayaks, and a rowboat are provided at the lodge though. There are plenty of lakes/ponds to explore in the area. The screened in porch is perfect for 10 people. You won't forget this place!

Guys Weekend

Tired it last year and were back. There is a reason for that. Accommodations are great. Plenty of room for 7 adult males. Kitchen is fully loaded. There are 3 bathrooms and it can easily sleep 8. There are 2 porches with one being screened in. Nice dock with boating. There is a fire pit which we cooked on. All great. It makes work harder to go back to.

Glorious week in a very special home

This home was beautiful! Better than the pictures!! Our group consisted of 3 small families. Upon entry, we all agreed we were definitely coming back because it was so impressive and clean. It really has a wow factor! Chuck and Joan thought of everything, making our stay comfortable, peaceful, lovely and unforgettable. Lifelong memories were made, many of which revolve around the attention to detail of the home and all the amenities included. Seriously, we couldn't keep from commenting on the craftsmanship and attention to detail. We sincerely can't thank our hosts enough for opening their home to us.

a little slice of heaven!

We just had the BEST time at Chuck & Joan's beautiful home! the property had the most beautiful setting right on the water, and the dock was perfect for our two young children to swim, jump and play right in the water it was only 2 feet deep. It was quiet and peaceful and we loved having fires outside in the firepit as well. The home was exactly as described and such a wonderful layout. Everything was so clean, well taken care of and so many supplies and amenities that we didnt even need to pack! Kids items even included like a bedrail, cups and a booster seat, Chuck and Joan thought of everything. We hope to return someday for another peaceful fun week! bonus: we got to see fireworks right from the dock on the 4th of July weekend!

Old men in the woods

This is the 4th time I have been here. This place is in a great location on the water with access by water to several lakes including the Saranac lakes and Fish Creek, ( canoes, kayaks and a fishing boat provided) Nice dock. There are SEVERAL good hiking trails and peaks to bag that are close by. Many of the 46 high peaks are close as well as the Saranac 6. The house is beautiful with a good sized kitchen and dining area. Bedrooms are very nice. Has a pool table and entertainment area on the second floor. The owners , Chuck and Joan, went out of their way for us this year. Very grateful

Fabulous August Visit

We had an absolutely wonderful week at the property. The owners were so helpful providing information on the house and surrounding areas even before we arrived. The house was immaculate and had everything you could want for an enjoyable stay. Our favorite part was the large screened in porch where we drank morning coffees and evening wine as well as ate all of our meals while enjoying the lakeside views just 20 feet away. The kayaks and canoes were perfect for exploring the surrounding areas and the nearby marina was an easy option for a one day boat rental to enjoy the larger Lake Saranac area. The upstairs rec room was filled with games as as well a pool and fooz ball table to keep the kids occupied during down time. We could not have asked for anything more and hope to return again. Thank you!

The ultimate ADK family accommodation

Our family’s stay at the lodge was the best we’ve ever had out of many trips to the ADK. Chuck and Joan have done a phenomenal job renovating and maintaining this gorgeous property, the listing pictures do not do it justice. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is top notch and they keep it cleaner than any hotel you’ll find in the region. The lodge has everything you could possibly need, just bring your food and clothes. We brought our own boat, launched at Fish Creek Pond Campground, and kept it at right at the dock all week for fishing and tubing. The location is perfect, being close to Tupper Lake, Saranac, Lake Placid and endless hiking trails and mountains. The booking, check-in, and check-out process is as simple and smooth as it gets, and Chuck is so hospitable and helpful with his communication. If you are looking for a family friendly place and are lucky enough to see an opening on the availability calendar, don’t wait, book today!

Truly amazing home...meticulously maintained.

Pictures may be worth a thousand words but they do not do this home justice. A beautiful lakefront lodge with a wonderful Adirondack history. A history well documented with pictures on the hallway walls! In addition to being a gorgeous space, the home is roomy and exceptionally well maintained. The owners could not have been more helpful with local knowledge and suggestions for daily activities. They even left some local treats in the fridge for us! We had four adults and five children under 12 years old for an extended post-Christmas/New Years Eve skiing, sledding, bobsledding, winter get-away. Everyone had a wonderful time. We are discussing taking the lodge in summer (if available) since the lodge and the area has so much to offer!

Amazing waterfront house

This was the best equipped, best maintained, most organized house we have ever rented. It was also the most interesting, as it was created by rebuilding an historic building at a former summer camp. Into a large, modern, charming lodge. The house is in perfect condition, with great Adirondack decor and a huge bonus second floor room with fireplace, bar, billiards, football, TV, desk, game table, etc. There is a large screened-in porch just off the kitchen, overlooking the lake and dock. We visited in March but I’d love to spend time on that porch in the summer. It seems ideal. The property is such a peaceful spot and the lake is gorgeous. The photos in the listing do not do LaJuenesse justice. It looked much nicer in person than we expected from the photos. We hope to have an opportunity to visit again in the winter or the summer, or both!

Great vacation.

We had a wonderful time at La Jeunesse. There was always something to do for our grown children as well as our small grandchildren, whether swimming in the velvety water of the lake, using the kayaks and canoes the lodge supplies to explore it, sitting around the campfire making s’mores and staring at the Milky Way, sitting on the screened-in porch drinking our morning coffee, watching the amazing tv surround sound set-up upstairs, playing one of the multiple games the lodge offers, or taking hikes at nearby sites. The lodge itself is among the best we’ve experienced. It is beautiful, roomy, and immaculate and about as close to the lake as you can get. The kitchen has everything you could need! Chuck was easy to contact and gave us all the information we needed. We couldn’t have asked for more. The only thing is to remember that Fish Creek Pond and Upper Saranac Lake are not motor boat or jet-ski free.

The perfect family vacation spot!

This lovely lodge provided us with a relaxing, fun filled and comfortable get away. The property has been beautifully restored with attention to every detail throughout the house. It is clear that a lot of thought went into preserving many of the historical details while adding modern amenities. We were a party of 8 and there was more than enough room. It is so spacious, that people can have lots of personal space while also providing great rooms for everyone to gather together. Our grandchildren (10 and 13) loved spending time at the dock watching the fish, ducks and loons on the lake. The sandy bottom is a great swimming space and makes it easy to get into the kayaks and canoes that are there for your use. We spent many hours on the large screened in porch and evenings around the fire pit. There are great activities close by, and we enjoyed our trip to the Wild Center in Tupper Lake as well as climbing Mt. Arab to the fire tower where my husbands grandfather was a ranger in the 1930's. Chuck and Joan were lovey to deal with and checked in to make sure that all was well when we arrived.We have rented many vacation homes over the years and this is by far at the top of our list. We look forward to our next stay!

Fall Foliage & Hiking Vacation

This is a beautiful home that provides everything you could possibly need. The history of the home, along with pictures throughout the house, was wonderful. There was plenty of room to gather as a group with the open kitchen/living room/dining room concept and plenty of places when privacy was desired. The personal touches provided by the owners throughout the house were awesome. We never ran out of the essentials. The location is on a large pond that provided access to creeks and several additional ponds so you could do an 8-mile kayak/canoe trip, if desired (worth it). The only downside was it was over 45 minutes to hike a 46 er and approximately 40 minutes to Lake Placid. Both are not showstoppers; you just need to plan accordingly. The owners were very courteous and made sure everyone arrived safely and were prepared prior to arrival. If you are considering this house for your vacation, I feel you will enjoy the house and everything it offers. I would love to visit in the summer so I can enjoy swimming and fishing. October was not a good month for those two activities! 😊
