Perfect Adirondacks stay

We had a great time staying at the nook. Kevin and Mary were gracious hosts, had plenty of information about things to do nearby, and checked in with us occasionally without being overbearing. The apartment is nicely furnished and equipped with everything you need. It was cozy and comfortable. Not sure we'll ever get to this part of the US again, but if so I would gladly stay here a second time.

IMMACULATE, LARGE APARTMENT

Mary and Kevin were wonderful hosts who were there when I needed help with the TV, while providing me a peaceful, quiet place to relax. The apartment was spacious and meticulously kept. I was looking for a place near the heart of town and not in the woods. This apartment was ideal!

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!!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Bartel

Host profile image
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.
