Great space and location in Saranac

Everything was great for our weeklong hiking and paddling vacation. The location is central for beautiful hikes for all abilities and fantastic lakes, ponds and rivers. The town is walking distance to get to great places for breakfast, dinners and pub food. The house is very clean and well equipped, with much more than we ever use. Mary and Kevin are great hosts and are very helpful, even with ideas for hiking and paddling trips. Great time in the Adirondacks and a great place to stay for the week.

What a cozy, lovely place to stay!

The Nook is a real gem in Saranac Lake! My wife & I could have just stayed inside the entire time, it's that cozy! Mary & Kevin are the most friendly, hospitable hosts, ready to answer any questions, give recommendations of things to do, places to eat. We were more than thrilled to stay there, and we will be back!!

pleasant and capable owners

My understanding is that Mary and Kevin are renovating and will only have 1 unit going forward, so I can't usefully comment on that. But given their attentiveness, graciousness and conviviality, I'm sure it will be just fine! :-)

Million Dollar Views!

My wife and I loved the condo! Our favorite parts were the views and watching the sun melt into the gulf every night! It was everything that was advertised in the listing and more. The condo is a nice size, quiet, very nice furniture and an awesome king size bed in the master. We also liked that you could walk to restaurants nearby. The Marriott Resort had several nice options, and the Bimini Bait Shack was a great place to grab a beer and a burger. Easy access by car to Sanibel, Captiva, Ft. Myers and Cape Coral.

Nice Getaway!

The getaway was very clean and the host was very helpful. Lake Saranac has lots of great places to eat and drink and is very close to Lake Placid. The Olympic Skyride was fun and there was great shopping in downtown Lake Placid. We hit up some antique shops and breweries as well. The location was perfect for a weekend getaway.

Perfect Nook for the Weekend!

Our experience at the Nook and Inner Quest Yoga and Wellness Center was awesome! It was a perfect spot to complete our first 6er at St Regis and then a recovery day of Yoga and meditation. Mary was awesome and she guided us through a session that was very well done and left us feeling whole. Highly recommended! We will be returning for many years to come!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Bartel

We love the Adirondacks. We moved here together in 1988 so we could live an active yet peaceful mountain lifestyle. We enjoy all seasons playing outdoors - hiking, biking, canoeing, x-c skiing and snow shoeing. Let us help you love the Adirondacks.

Why they chose this property

The peaceful nature of the facility, special services we can offer, and the convenient downtown location has proven to work well for many guests. It's central location in the tri-lakes region makes it a great hub with easy driving distances for 'much to do and see' in the woods, on the water, or strolls through the town and village. We enjoy sharing our home and meeting people from all around the state, country and the world!

What makes this property unique

The Nook is like home yet a floor below there are holistic services available: yoga and qi gong group or private classes, meditation, yoga therapy, reiki, and sound healing. Check the Inner Quest Yoga & Wellness Center website. Currently, due to COVID, group classes are suspended and three weekday classes are being held virtual via ZOOM.
