Wonderful old building that has had many previous uses, and now rents out guest rooms at a very affordable rate. Well maintained, and the owner lives on-site and is extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommend as a great alternative to more expensive chain hotel or resort rooms.

Love it!

Absolutely amazing value for the price! We booked this pretty last minute for a concert in town we were going to and we loved it! Super comfortable and cozy, walking distance to down town, clean, quiet. We loved it so much we booked another stay for the end of October! This will definitely be our go to place to stay anytime we are in the Sarnac Lake area!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was clean and beautiful! We stayed on the first floor and the bathroom didn’t have heating so it was really cold there and it took a decent amount of heat in the room. The room was very cold even with the provided heater on maximum. Additionally, it was negative 15C outside that didn’t add up to the comfort. During the night you could hear strange noises that turned to be related to the heaters (old school ones). We did have a small space heater which did help out though. However, even though the room was cold, the vibe was very positive and we think it’s a great place for summer vacations. Parking was well plowed during winter. Therefore we really enjoyed the stay, but got terribly cold !

I was jaw dropped when I entered the room - where's the bathroom!! It's my mistake, I didn't read carefully when I booked. It's a nice and well reserved house, well maintained and managed. My feeling was I booked a hostel instead. Since I'm not young and although the shared bathroom was clean and not busy, I still need a private one. If you are someone like me, don't book this one.

We spent one night in Saranac Lake, where hotels run from posh resorts, to a little scary looking. This place is fine - nice room and great rec room downstairs. Our caretaker was friendly and helpful. The only downside was we visited during a heat wave and there was no AC in our room, only a fan. I recommend this place for a short stay.

Safe, Cozy, and Snow-Ready – Highly Recommended!

Had a wonderful stay! The host was great—friendly, responsive, and ensured everything was perfect. The place was clean, cozy, and well-maintained. It also handled heavy snow well, making it a safe and comfortable stay even in harsh weather. Would definitely recommend and stay again!
