A huge deck with grill and screened in porch make it perfect for entertaining the whole family. The upstairs boasts three bedrooms that share a bath, and the house is bathed in sunlight within the tree top canopy. If you MUST work, the upstairs bedroom/office desk lets your spread out, and get it done in the natural light.

The Lake House is on a hill with a considerable driveway and we never know how much snow we're going to get in the winter, so if you are visiting in the winter you will need a Four Wheel Drive Vehicle and boots! There is a picture in the listing. Please email us with any questions.

Nice winter getaway
This home is in a nice, quiet location and also more spaceous than some of the Adirondack winter getaway homes we had previously booked. The host was available and responsive to any questions. We will definitely consider returning next year.

Excellent peaceful cabin getaway
We enjoyed our short stay at the property. It’s very quiet, no service but the WiFi works great. The property is very wooded and hilly with not a lot of flat grounds so important to consider for kids/pets/limited mobility persons but we enjoyed the peace and privacy. We had all the amenities we needed and it is a quick 15-20 minutes from shops or adventures. The owner is very communicative and ensured we had everything we needed.

Great time
We had a wonderful time at Bruce’s retreat. It was a perfect Autumn leaf season weekend. It did rain and snow the entire weekend, but sitting by the fire inside was a nice break. House was well-appointed, clean and Bruce was as an excellent host.

A nice retreat in the woods
Very nice cabin in the woods near Upper Saranac. The rental was clean, fully outfitted, and quite cozy. Great spot to stay for a small gathering of friends and family. Location is great - just 15 minutes from the towns of Tupper Lake and Saranac Lake. Access to the lake takes some logistics/maneuvering, but it is a short walk.What stood out most was the communication with the host - it was excellent. Within hours of booking, we had communication that remained thorough and transparent and constant, but never pushy or claustrophobic. We appreciate all the work done by this host to create a lovely space and give their guests an enjoyable experience.

Great house for a mountain vacation
We enjoyed our stay here with friends and our dog. We went Canoeing all day and enjoyed our evenings at the house either by the fire pit area outside or playing games inside. The house is up a very steep hill and is surrounded by woods. We enjoyed the deck and screened-in porch. The owner Bruce was very friendly and checked in with us every couple of days. We chose this location because it's in close vicinity to the Fish Creek Campground and Saranac Lake and also Lake Placid. We had a great stay here.

Excellent house on the lake
The lake is amazing and only a short walk from the house. Lots of great hikes within 30 minutes and now a new bike rail trail between Saranac and Lake Placid that will be extended through Tupper Lake next year, Bruce was super accommodating and helpful with info. When his canoe had a leak, he quickly got us access to another one. The house is as it appears in the photos. Clean and plenty of room for our family of four. Nice screened in porch and fire pit. Privacy, but also lots of friendly neighbors not too far away. We had a few days of rain and did one of the jigsaw puzzles. We are considering coming back next summer.

Peaceful camp in the woods
We had a fantastic stay. Owner was kind, responsive, and really went out of his way to make sure we had a good time. House is well-appointed and comfortable. The screened in porch was my favorite spot, especially with the hummingbirds flitting around. Looks like there are also some upgrades planned, which will make it even nicer. We mostly hiked — short drives to a number of trailheads; also close to towns of Tupper and Saranac Lake. We used the canoe and kayak a couple of times — boats are at the community beach/dock an easy 1/4 mi walk down from the camp. Would stay again.

Great house for Adirondack stay
We had a family gathering, and Bruce's house was perfect for that. Large and comfortable common area and dining area, nice bedrooms and bathrooms. Large screened in back deck, saw lots of hummingbirds feeding on the Bee Balm! Very nice beach area, we used the canoe and kayaks. Bruce is very responsive and generous with his time. Great location for touring some Adirondack highlights.

Lovely vacation at Saranac Lake
We decided to go to the Adirondacks for our annual "girls trip." We really enjoyed our stay at the house. It is an easy walk to the shared beach on Upper Saranac Lake. Central location: we went to the Wild Center, The Adirondack Experience, and especially enjoyed the Raquette River Brewery in Tupper Lake. There was plenty of room for 5 of us, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked as it is his family's vacation home. The well water was cold and refreshing. The screened in porch was nice; we didn't use the firepit as it was black fly season. The hot tub was under repair. The host was very responsive; and questions we had were answered quickly. We are already talking about returning next year.

Nice secluded spot
Bruce was great to work with. The house was ready for us, and despite a lot of snow just before our arrival, Bruce had the driveway plowed and clean. The driveway is pretty steep so 4wd is recommended in the winter. Cool house with a lot of charm.
