5 Bedroom House in Saranac Lake

**please feel free to contact us if your proposed stay is less than the minimum number of nights required.
Our waterfront traditional Adirondack farmhouse style home offers early 1900s charm with 21st century amenities such as central heat and A/C. We have beautiful lake views, a wrap around covered porch overlooking the lake, an out door stone fire pit, and private dock. With 5 bedrooms and 3 levels of space, we are prefect for families and groups. Located on a private single lane road nearly adjacent to the beach. Close to Whiteface Mountain, Mt. Pisgah, the villages of Saranac Lake & Lake Placid, restaurants and activities.
We are located on a single-lane private road with a handful of homes. Our parking is located adjacent to this road, in our parking area and along the side of the lane. We have space for about 4 cars. Guests may access our dock and “boathouse” from either the stairs or the lake trail between the house and the lake. Guests have access to the garage as well as the games, bicycles and grill stored there.
*Please bring your own Beach and bath towels, as well as any personal washcloth type items.
Inside the home, we have the original wood floors throughout, and the house is decorated and furnished in both the Adirondack and classic styles, and features cedar log beds and early 1900s furniture throughout. Our living area has a view of the lake and is furnished with a couch, plush chairs, a rocker and an additional game or working table and chairs that double as additional seating for meals with large gatherings. The brick fireplace is the centerpiece of the room. The formal stair case sweeps up from the room to the second floor. We offer a flat screen TV on which guests may utilize their streaming services. For those musically inclined, an upright piano adds to the ambiance. The dining room also overlooks the lake, and has a beautiful hickory table with seating for 10. There is a ½ bath as well as a laundry room on the first floor. Our kitchen features Hickory cabinets and granite tops. It is a working galley style kitchen, and is fully stocked with most everything you may need for preparing and serving meals. The main entrance that we use leads into the kitchen. From there,, guests may also access the second floor via the old “servants’ stairs”. Kids love the flow of the house with two sets of stair cases!
The second floor features two full baths. One has the original claw foot tub and shower, with a rich brick floor. The other features a stand up shower, hardwood floor and 4 foot sink top. The largest bedroom features sweeping views of the lake right from your bed, as well as a gas fireplace. The main bed is a queen, and a twin size bed shares the space as well. Bedroom 2 has a gorgeous lake view and a full size bed, while bedroom 3 has a tree-view to the north and west, with a full size bed and an armoir.
Our third story space is accessed though a custom set of stairs retrofitted during renovation to provide easier access to an additional two bedrooms. The stairs are a touch steeper than those found in modern buildings, but have hand rails to assist. The blue room has a queen bed with a twin bunk bed over the top of it, and a stand alone twin sized bed. The orange room has two separate twin size beds and features built in shelving and cabinets. Both rooms have a view of the lake and offer excellent air flow from the breeze high up over the lake. Central air does not extend to third floor space.
Location:
The Village of Saranac Lake is within walking distance and Lake Placid is about 15 minutes by car. Dewey Mountain ski (Nordic) and mountain bike center Minnesota Street. Whiteface Mountain and Titus Mountains are both approximately 40 minutes. Activities available everywhere and within just a few minutes of the house.

Pease note we have original smooth wood floors and stair steps, and the home is not suitable for high energy or young excitable dogs.
1/2 BATH -Our 1/2 bath is open seasonally during the late spring, summer & fall, as it was part of the original 1901 construction designed as a summer only home. We converted the home to a 4 season residence, but, this bath is not over the basement foundation and we keep the water off from December until the cold weather passes. If you need the bath to accommodate someone in your party with mobility concerns, please let us know in advance and we will gladly restore its service during your stay. Thank you!

Summary: We loved the view of Lake Colby and enjoyed fishing the lake in a canoe. The house was clean, spacious, and nice. There are many amenities , too many for us to use in 4 days. The location was perfect for us as we visited The Wild Center, Lake Placid, Middle Saranac Lake, and shopped in Saranac Lake.

Summary: Property clean and comfortable. Beds very comfortable, kitchen well supplied with dishes and pots and pans. Communication with property owner great. Dock area not accessible. Short supply of bath towels and garbage bags. Mix up with check in occurred because we changed our booking to arrive one day earlier and cleaners weren't notified.

Summary: We were a family of 13, four adult couples and 5 children, ranging in age from 5 to 74!! It's hard to find a place that can accommodate us all and the Lake Colby house was it. The house has 19th century charm and it made us feel like we were really in the Adirondacks. Beds were comfortable and Todd did so much to accommodate us, even bringing over a blender for our morning smoothies and evening frozen cocktails! Everyone enjoyed reading on the porch and looking at the lake. The dining room table fit all of us for big family meals. The small table in the living room was perfect for puzzles and crafts. We enjoyed our late night talks and s'mores around the fire pit. Everyone enjoyed hopping in canoes, kayaks and paddle boards and exploring the lake. Even the five year olds were able to master the kids' kayaks. The lake itself was beautiful with lots of areas to explore from your own boat. The public beach was next door and our kids could walk or bike there without crossing a street, which made us feel safe. The kids also made a fort in the wild area past the beach. We all enjoyed walks through the state forest at the end of the road. The location was also perfect for exploring the towns of Saranac Lake and Lake Placid. There were endless activities that matched everyone's tastes. I can't recommend this house enough!

Summary: This house and its location are absolutely spectacular. I greatly appreciate historic architecture and the owners have done such a loving job of restoring this beautiful home. The house was equipped with everything we needed. And the boat house had canoes and kayaks for everyone. It was wonderful to see my 10 and 7 year old grandchildren get on their life jackets and take canoes out on the lake. The 4 year old loved the nearby sandy beach. The adults had a great time in the canoes and hiking. It was a good family time together, with family members coming from Salt Lake City, Rochester, and San Diego.

Summary: I recently stayed at this home with my husband and our 4 kids ages 11 to 6. Close family friends also vacationed with us and their family included 2 adults and a 13 y/o. The home is 100+ years old and beautifully restored. The home is huge! As a party of 9 we had beds left over. We spent the majority of our week sitting on the wrap around porch and enjoying the views of the lake. When we weren't on the porch the kids loved fishing from the dock. The home has so many kayaks and canoes! We were all able to explore the lake at once. The home also included a huge variety of life jackets. The public beach which has life guards is next to the property so we could easily walk to it. The kids loved swimming to the platform at the public beach. There are several hiking and biking trails near by, Lake Placid is also a short drive away. There were so many restaurants near by, we loved Tail O' the Pup and La Bella Ristorante. At night we enjoyed sitting around the fire pit and roasting s'mores. Plenty of outside seating was provided so we had less to pack. We all enjoyed the historic home which was decorated with not only Adirondack charm but also many historic items. We could tell that the home is loved by its owners and well cared for. On many days our kids didn't want to leave the house at all, they just wanted to be in the water or fish. There are many board games at the house as well. Every morning the kids would search through the game cabinet for a game to play at the dining room table. We loved that the home was close to restaurants and included so many amenities. The home owner was easily reached and he provided recommendations for different fishing locations on the lake and trails to hike/bike. Our kids said that this was one of their favorite vacations. Overall a great vacation in a beautiful home.
