My family and I stayed in Goose Landing for a week and loved every minute! When I was looking for a place to stay in the Adirondacks, I did not want a fancy hotel or resort. I wanted a place that felt like I was staying in a family cottage and that's what Goose Landing was. It was the quintessential Adirondacks cabin with knotty pine, stone fireplace, Oriental rugs, mismatched lamps (in a good way!), a beautiful deck with a view (where I spent hours with coffee/wine/book/games with kids) and THE LAKE! Kiwassa Lake is beautiful-it was quiet, surrounded by trees and had the most beaautiful sunsets. We loved the area of Saranac Lake and Lake Placid-lots of hikes, Olympic history, great restaurants, ice cream, cute stores. But staying at Goose Landing added so much to our Adirondack experience---from the hours on the deck, to swimming in the lake, to fishing and most especially the kayak trips. Just around the bend from the cabin and through a short canal is probably one of the most beatiful views I have seen from a kayak-a lake, surrounded by mountains-and then a little further we actually used the locks to get to another channel. Marjorie, the innkeeper, was a great host and helpful and we loved Piper, the house yellow lab. Thanks for a great stay! We miss it already :)
