Modern Chalet | Sauna + Private Location

MannyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful mountain chalet! The landscaping is beautiful and perfectly complements the serene surroundings. The house itself is new, stylishly designed, and incredibly comfortable. We especially loved relaxing in the sauna after a day of exploring—it was such a luxurious touch. I accidentally broke a glass, our host was so understanding and gracious. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to unwind.

"Beau Overlook" Enjoy 2 states from 1 great spot!

JeanneRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Where do I start...from before I arrived, up until my departure...Joanne was attentive in every way possible. All my questions were answered with an immediate response. The home was extraordinary. The effort Joanne has put in to making it just like home shows. With an abundance of whimsical touches. Up until the day I left, I would see a new thing. As if the enchanting home wasn't enough, the back patio is a place of serenity...with the sounds and view of the river extraordinary. I could go on and on, but I will just say, "it was the best vacation I have ever had". One word describes this Airbnb...AMAZING!!!🩷. I will return next year! Didn't want to leave!!! 😊 Thank you Joanne for your exemplary hospitality!

Such a beautiful spot! The home was impeccably decorated and clean, and the view of lake Champlain and Vermont beyond was unbeatable. We loved our time here and will definitely be back.

The house and location were amazing. We had 10 people and there was more than enough room for all of us. We played ping pong and air hockey until our arms were sore!

We enjoyed the backyard and kayaks immensely! Great yard for kids and pup to play in. Close to White Face, Lake Placid, and Ausable Chasm. Beds were very comfortable and so many thoughtful amenities.

Moody Pond Home~Walk to Mount Baker or Downtown SL

JohnRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The Pond House was a great place to stay for a trip to Saranac, Placid, or the High Peaks region. The location is right on Moody Pond and is private, yet just a short drive away from town. Kelli was proactive in her communication and checking in/out was seamless.

Camp Schneider

TiffanyRating, 5 stars2 months ago
One of the better air bnbs I’ve stayed at recently. I had a wonderful time and enjoyed all the amenities provided. Ryan was great at communicating and even did a check in with us to see if the stay was going well. Beautiful trail in walking distance from the place and had wonderful views of the local ponds. This was my first time visiting the Adirondacks and I would definitely consider this place for my next adventure there.

Shelly's Lovely Adirondack Home near Lake & Town

KarenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Meachele's home was well-situated, comfortable, clean, and well-equipped. We didn't get lucky with the weather but really enjoyed our stay, in part because of how kind, helpful, and friendly Meachele was. We'll definitely stay at her place again when we return to Saranac Lake.

Lake Champlain Private Waterfront Guest Apartment

NiurkaRating, 5 stars18 months ago
This lakeside gem was the setting for one of the most restful and beautiful stays we’ve ever had with Airbnb. I loved sitting every morning on their porch to take in the first bit of morning light, and every suggestion made by our host was better than the last. I’ve visited Vermont several times, but I was blown away by all of the hidden treasure suggested by our host - everything from thrift shops to the best cafes. My two kids had a blast here as well. I would highly recommend for couples, families, or friend groups looking to have fun together.

Radiant Retreat in the Heart of Lake Placid

PatriciaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Angela’s space is absolutely beautiful! Her attention to detail is second to none. There is everything you could ever want or need in her emasculate, perfect decorated, spacious place. Her kitchen has all you would need to cook, and the long, center table was perfect for our family. Having two bedrooms with two separate bedrooms made things so comfortable and helpful. Her space is centrally located in Lake Placid, so it made it so easy to walk to restaurants, coffee shops, bowling and shopping. The lake was easily accessible to us, and it was so nice to be able to take advantage of all the water retails that are available in town. Being that her place was in the town of Lake Placid, it was so wonderful to be able to walk around Mirror Lake. I just could say enough about our stay here. Everything was wonderful, and we certainly look forward to coming back. Thank you, Angela ❤️❤️

In-Town Lakefront-The Apple Tree Lodge, Unit 1

TobinRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had the incredible pleasure of staying at Elyse’s home in the days leading up to our wedding, and I can honestly say it was one of the best Airbnb experiences we’ve ever had. The house itself is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and full of charm. Every room has its own personality, and the views of Schroon Lake are simply breathtaking. Waking up to the morning mist and soft fog rolling over the water felt like something out of a dream. Whether we were sipping coffee on the cozy deck, relaxing by the fire, or enjoying dinner in the sunroom overlooking the lake, every moment was serene. Elyse and her husband were the most gracious hosts—thoughtful, kind, and genuinely warm. You can feel the care they’ve poured into this home and the joy they take in sharing it. We couldn’t recommend this place more to anyone looking for a restful escape or a meaningful stay in nature. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Waterfront Loft

TaniaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Whitney's loft provided a perfect getaway for my 30th birthday. It was super clean and inviting. She was resposive throughout the whole experience. The environment was perfect if you want a peaceful, yet adventurous stay. We made use of the provided canoe and paddled through the Oseetah Lake with our dogs, which is just a short walk on the property. This is our first time in the ADK area and we were not disappointed. We even took a day trip to Montreal.

Middle Saranac Lake Shoreline Cabin

DavidRating, 5 stars12 months ago
My wife and I just spent one of the more enjoyable weeks in our long history of visits to the Adirondacks. Jerry and Linda’s log cabin on Middle Saranac Lake is, quite simply, a treasure. Awesome location right on shoreline. Very nice man (Dan) motored us across the lake. Rustic but very comfortable. Spectacular views. Great kitchen. Comfortable bedding. Propane lighting throughout. Weber grill on porch. Two kayaks and one canoe included. Aluminum boat (also included) with electric start Honda was perfect. Lots of tiny islands nearby. Hot (very!) shower, flush toilet. Swimming right from dock. Sandy beach close by. Sunsets, sunrises, total peace and serenity. Just what we were hoping for. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. You will too! David and Debbie B

Cozy 2bedroom cottage on Rainbow lake in the ADK'S

ChristineRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This cozy, warm, inviting cabin on Rainbow Lake was the perfect vacation place for us - the only sounds we heard all week were loon calls, bird songs, and the cool clean water lapping against the dock. The cabin is nestled in a quiet cove and has the most lovely screened in porch - perfect place to read and sip my morning tea. The dock has a safe kayak launch which was most helpful in keeping us dry at the start and end of each long daily paddle. Kayaks are provided, so no need to bring your own - a nice plus so we didn't have to lug our boats around for a change! Everything about the cabin and the property is exactly how it is shown and described on the page here. While it is tucked in and feels far away - Saranac Lake is 15 minutes away for all your needs. We are hoping to make it an annual vacation destination! And if we are really lucky, perhaps twice a year! Thanks guys, for The Most blissful vacation we've ever experienced. Your place is paradise!

Lady on the Lake Cottage 5 - Tub/Shower Combo

MicheleRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This place was amazing, quite relaxing tiny little town. Probably the cleanest place I've ever stayed. Had the perfect amenities for a long weekend. Didn't get a chance to enjoy the fire pits because of rain but covered porch was nice. Felt like no one was around but easily able to drive to civilization. I would 100% come back and so glad I found this place.

Campfire Lodge on the water in the heart of Adks

TheresaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Jodi's place is great! The lake front cabin is clean, has two bedrooms, and a third double bed on an enclosed porch. Beds are comfortable and so is the furniture in the living room. Television is in the living room and a Roku in each bedroom. Located on the channel between Flower and Oseetah Lakes. Her backyard really makes it special! It is large, has an enclosed tiki bar, fire pit area, picnic table, and a fabolous deck on top of the boat house. Backyard has good lighting for after dark hanging out. Docks are in great shape and plenty of small fish can be caught off the dock (perches and sunnys) during the early evening hours. Drive to town is about five minutes. If you are looking for a place, especially as a couple that needs down time, this is it. There is nothing but good things to say about Jodi's place.

Cozy Vermont Cottage at Lake Champlain

TahaRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Mary Lou’s place was absolutely phenomenal. I came in the middle of October, and it was peak cozy, fall vibes! The cabin next to the docks in the foliage felt like I was in a painting. I absolutely would love to come back and just cozy up under a blanket next to the fire place. Highly recommend staying in this gem of a place if you have the opportunity.

Breathtaking, waterfront rental on Lake Champlain

GouthamRating, 5 stars1 day ago
Ardie and Mike made us feel right at home, and answered all of our questions right away! The cottage was very convenient with beautiful views and easy access to the lake and shore. It had more than enough beds and everything we needed to enjoy our stay there comfortably. We also had a great time playing with the two dogs, Misha and Sajen! Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful and private cottage in rural Vermont that is still around 25-30 minutes drive away from Middlebury. Thanks Ardie!

Lakeside with direct water access & amazing views

JulieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I loved this lake house. It is a very efficient use of space and very thought out. It was quieter than expected, being on the main road. The high speed Internet was a super plus for my husband and I simultaneously working with data heavy video sessions and database work. I know high speed Internet in the ADK can be spotty.
