Chalet vacation rentals in Essex County

A hiker’s dream. The perfect reprieve nestled in the heart of Saranac lake. Joanne’s cabin was the perfect location to tackle the Saranac 6 Ultra hiking challenge. With 6 mountains across 5 different locations in saranac lake, we were able to stop at the cabin 2 times to change clothes, eat & restock supplies. The blackout curtains in the bedrooms were also greatly appreciated as we were able to go to bed very early the day before for a 1:30 am wake up. The house was very clean and cute. The laundry room was convenient to wash dirty clothes. The showers were glorious after 17 hours of hiking. Joanne was a kind & responsive host. I would stay here again with my family or friends.

Joe’s Cabin was a perfect space for our family! Long driveway was perfect for sledding with our 3 year old, we felt like we were in the middle of nowhere yet so close to the main street in lake placid. Skiing was great and not a far drive from whiteface either. Amazing views out of the living room windows of the mountains in the distance. Snowed every day we were there and there was a snowplow that always made his way down the road and driveway. Joe was a great host and very accommodating. Loved being able to bring our dog with us as well!

Very cute and charming house! Everything was clean and as described. The area is very convenient and it’s easy to get to many different hikes.

We really enjoyed our stay. Great location allowing us to be within walking distance of town, but far enough away for privacy and quiet. The house itself is perfect for entertaining and socializing, but also allows for people to spread out and have their own space. Having access to the garage is a huge perk for keeping ski/outdoor gear out of the way.

As last time, we enjoyed our stay there :)

This chalet is beautiful, peaceful, comfortable, and clean! My family and I had a great time here. There was a lot to do and it was close enough to Lake Placid. Dana was quick to respond to any questions I had and very helpful. Would stay here again.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. You feel so connected to the outdoors. Great for hiking and coming back to a peaceful place to relax.

What a beautiful home! We immediately felt at home. Any questions we had were answered in a wonderful book that Cynthia had put together, complete with suggestions of places and activities. We were close to everything! Thanks again, Cynthia!

Marry is a saint she was extremely helpful with an issue I had booking. The place is absolutely brilliant, coming from a carpenter by trade. Definitely will not be the last time I stay at her beautiful home.

Lacy's was clean and peaceful. A true and beeatuful Adirondack retreat. I can only imagine what a treat it is to be there in the summer close to the beautiful nearby pond.

Aria is an excellent host; friendly, helpful, and responsive. This Airbnb is great for large parties and families. The appliances and amenities are as described and in good condition. The kitchen is well-stocked with kitchenware and tableware. Towels, shampoo, and conditioner were provided. We had no issues with hot water with a party of 8 (in the summer). The driveway can fit several cars. The area is very quiet and private, while being located a short drive away from lakes and hiking trails. Doe-A-Deer is an excellent place to stay for a group summer getaway.

Beautiful and peaceful place. Lots of room to hang out, inside and outside. It was nice that the kitchen was stocked with plenty of glasses, mugs, dishes, utensils, and things for cooking, as well as some other basics like spices and coffee filters. Tina and Greg were very responsive. Everyone loved it!

Brian’s home was even better than the photos. A big and lovely screened-in porch; a well-appointed kitchen; a luxuriously large living room and dining area. Brian is a responsive host- he answers questions very quickly. A perfect spot for a family gathering.

the house is a beautiful space with lots of room! all of the amenities the house offers makes it a great a comfortable place to come home to after skiing/snowboarding at the local mountains that Jay and Wilmington have to offer. the house is advertised as "minutes away" from these mountains which is a little stretch. from the house it is about a 30 min drive to either Jay peak or Whiteface. overall we loved our stay and enjoyed a great trip and made a lot of great memories.

I cannot express how perfect this weekend was. Linda’s home is absolutely exceptional, the location is a dream, and her house is gorgeous. It’s perfect for a group of guests we loved having our own bathrooms, playing some pool down stairs, relaxing by the fire and in the hot tub, and seeing the beautiful landscape and wild life. It was the perfect cozy weekend, while also filled with activities like shopping, boating, and hiking. My girlfriends and I just couldn’t believe how incredible it all was. Thank you Linda to you and your family for offering such a wonderful place for us to stay!

The house was perfect for our larger group for our annual weekend get away. There was plenty of room for everyone and the kitchen is well stocked for your cooking and hosting needs. Location was a quick drive in to Lake Placid for a day trips in to town. Would stay here again if I found myself coming back to the area.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful lake house, although we didn’t experience much of the lake because we were there for a ski trip to Gore and we got over a foot of snow. We did spend a lot of time in the house. It’s really great — comfortable, clean, modern, well-decorated and -designed, just a terrific vacation home. Location wise, it’s an easy 20-minute ride down a main highway to get to Gore, so no problem there. It’s two minutes to get to a Stewart’s and a couple of restaurants, delis, pubs, pizza. Not a huge selection of choices but enough for a long weekend. Lisa was an excellent host, available throughout our stay for little questions we had. We would love to stay again in the summer to see what it’s like when it’s not covered in snow. The lake is absolutely beautiful. 100% recommend. You’ll have a great time.

We had a great time at Still Point & the surrounding areas. The house was well stocked with supplies. It was clean (keep in mind you are in the woods & mountains) & well maintained. Michael & Isabelle were easy to communicate with & quick to respond. The scenery around the house was beautiful & relaxing. Listening to the Loons just about every day & watching the beavers frolic one night was amazing. The surrounding areas & attractions were easily accessible & just a short drive. Yet, you felt like you were all alone & secluded when at Still point. Our kids had so much fun at the house & on all the adventures we took. The only downside was leaving! Thank you, Michael & Isabelle, for sharing your home & providing lasting memories for our family!!!

Michala’s place was comfortable and neat. We LOVED the 3 seasons room - that was our favorite. It’s just like the photos, we had a quiet relaxing weekend for our anniversary by the fire. The only “con” I can say is There was a guestbook with past guests to write about their stay but there wasn’t any room for us to make an entry. I would have loved to write in the book. There was plenty of cooking/eating utensils and extra soaps and shampoos provided which was great. Wonderful place - would definitely come back.

This place is a lovely choice for your next stay in the Adirondack’s! There was a booklet written with tons of recommendations and everything you would need to know. The host was helpful and responsive! The view from the balcony is 1 in a million and also where I was proposed to! Everything was clean and cozy and my dogs felt at home immediately. Had a little bit of everything in just the right way. Maybe next year I’ll be back in honor of my engagement!

It was a mint, retro house with all modern conveniences. Everything was as it it was just built! Like time travel to my childhood.

Great up to date home in a wonderful setting!
