This property was perfect for our short stay in Saranac Lake. Clean comfortable 1 br, with modest but practical kitchen. It is situated along a noisy thoroughfare with trucks during the day, but being out and about during the day, it was not a problem. Walking distance to EVERYTHING in town was worth it.

Apartment was great, very clean, kitchen was well stocked, neighborhood felt very safe, one of the highlights was that it was within walking distance of downtown Saranac with all the shops and restaurants. Everything in the apartment was in very good condtion it was very well kept. Check-in and Check-out were very easy. One drawback for us was the street noise it is on the corner of a very busy intersection.

Love the location! Very convenient to everything!

They accidentally over-booked the multi-unit location, so to fix it, they offered me a bump up to a bigger unit at no extra charge. I took them up on their offer, and I thought it was a lovely and generous solution. I LOVED being within walking distance to some of the wonderful cafes, pubs, and restaurants. The unit was clean, comfortable, and I really enjoyed my stay. I would absolutely stay there again.

The apartment was clean, check in was a breeze and the host left very clear directions. There were fresh cookies waiting for us when we arrived and the location was excellent, walking distance to the bell, origins coffee shop, and hiking gear stores! The off street parking was nice but the lot was rather tight, however, still much better than having to find a spot on the road. Would definitely book again!

Very clean and comfortable. Almost everything you need. Great communication. Pictures don't show the window AC unit in bedroom, which is great when hot, but not as sound proof. Convenient and walkable location, but on the corner of 2 busy streets. Frequent large trucks going up the hill can get quite noisy, so light sleepers may need good earplugs or a white noise machine (I didn't sleep well).

Loved the location, and especially having the Health food store just down the street. The Saturday Market was lovely, lots of talented venders. Don't forget to check out the hiking trails . . . .and I found that the snowmobile trails are neat to hike before the snow comes. . . .no one there!

The apartment was much more spacious that we expected. Everything was clean and tidy with a homely feel. The only down side for me was the road noise, especially in the bedroom. I had to buy some ear plugs so I could get some sleep. This was our first time visiting this area of the US the area was beautiful with all the autumn 🍂 leaves, lakes and mountain areas to explore
