Excellent Winter Getaway

Everything was easy about our stay: the location was ideal to pop over to the VIC for some XC skiing; kitchen was adequately set with pans, tools, etc.; easy trips to Saranac Lake and Lake Placid for restaurants.The big surprise was the AMAZING sunrise views of Whiteface and the MacKenzie Mountains.

Pet and Snowmobile friendly

Awesome location, private, plenty of parking and pet friendly. Dogs loved the yard with room to run and we loved being able to snowmobile from the property- no need to haul to trail head just a little road riding to hit the trail system- We rode to Malone, Lake Placid and Saranac lake. Beautiful views and especially sun rises on clear days.

Great place

The place was very clean and exactly as the listing stated. The owner was very easy to communicate with and answered all questions I had. The location was great and close to all the activities we wanted to do. We also loved that they had a large property for my little dig to run and the kids to play. They evenn had dog dishes.

Just what we were looking for.

The owner was very accomodating. The place was on the outskirts, but not too far from civilization. It was very clean and well maintained. It is one of very few places that would accept pets with an understandable request to clean up after them. We really enjoyed ourselves and will plan to stay again.

Ice Fishing and Winter Carnival Weekend

The house is beautiful, clean, quiet and well situated to get to Lake Placid and Saranac Lake. This was our yearly trip to Saranac Lake for the Winter Carnival and to see the Ice Castle and we were very happy with the Chalet. Our group had a great time. We had our dogs with us, the yard was perfect for them to get energy out. The house had everything we needed from the kitchen to the rooms. There is plenty of parking for our group. We had a wonderful time.

Wonderful cabin in the woods but close to town!

This is a wonderful house that feels like you are miles away from everything, But you are just a short drive/walk from the little town of Bloomingdale. We enjoyed toasting marshmallows in the outdoor firepit (in November!), watching wild turkeys and deer stroll across the property and just hanging out playing games in the well stocked house. We had three generations for a mini- reunion and this was perfect for us. Thank you Craig for sharing!

So wonderful!!

Beautiful property and amazing host. Our stay exceeded our expectations in cleanliness, accomodation, and ease of anything you would need to enjoy a week in the Adirondacks! Awesome fire pit set up for the evenings, and we loved waking up to the amazing view every morning. If you are considering this property, I definitely recommend you go ahead and book it!!

Private Peaceful Location

The cabin was spacious and very clean! The beds were very comfortable. The lot is very private with much wildlife around. Turkeys and deer visited quite often! There is a nice view of Whiteface Mtn too! The property provides a great star gazing location. We loved the large firepit and enjoyed many fires by it! The village of Saranac Lake is minutes away from here and a nice small brewery right down the road in Bloomingdale on Rte 3. We really enjoyed our stay in the cabin.

Peaceful, dog-friendly

The cabin is great, everthing you need is there. The view is stunning and it is so peaceful. And it is dog-friendly to boot, with a large property for the pooch to explore. The wild turkeys strolling around were icing on the cake.
