About this property

Adirondack Mountain View Retreat – Downtown Saranac Lake

Adirondack Mountain View Retreat at Conklin Cottage | Downtown Saranac Lake

Welcome to your Adirondack home away from home inside the historic Conklin Cottage, centrally located in the heart of downtown Saranac Lake — just 15 minutes from Lake Placid and directly across the street from Hotel Saranac.

This beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath retreat combines rustic Adirondack charm with modern comfort, making it the perfect home base for every season — from winter ski trips and fall foliage escapes to summer hikes and lakeside adventures.

As a family-run business with over 50 years of local roots, we love helping guests experience the authentic side of the Adirondacks — the people, the food, the trails, and the community that make this region so special.

The Space

Primary Bedroom: King bed beneath a hand-crafted pine ceiling with warm natural light

Second Bedroom: Queen bed with a mountain-view window

Bathroom: Updated full bath with modern shower

Living Room: Cozy and bright with additional mountain views — perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring

Private Access: Guests receive a code for contactless check-in and check-out

Parking: Free on-site parking

Please note: This unit is on the second floor and requires use of stairs

Perfect for Weddings & Groups

Located across from Hotel Saranac, our property is an ideal choice for wedding parties, family gatherings, or event guests. Groups can reserve multiple units or the entire Conklin Cottage for a more affordable, intimate alternative to traditional hotel blocks — all while enjoying shared proximity and the comfort of private spaces.

Unbeatable Location

Walk to everything in the charming village of Saranac Lake — coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants, boutiques, and the farmers market at Riverside Park. You’re just steps from Lake Flower, and minutes from scenic lakes, trails, and local attractions.

Named “Best Place to Buy a Lake House in 2023” by Travel + Leisure, Saranac Lake perfectly blends small-town charm with big-mountain adventure.

Explore the Adirondacks

There’s truly something for every season:

Ski & Ride: Mt. Pisgah (2.5 mi), Whiteface Mountain (18 mi), Dewey Mountain (1.7 mi)

Winter Fun: Ice skating, tubing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and ice climbing

Summer Adventures: Kayaking, canoeing, boating, and over 50 Adirondack hiking trails

Local Highlights: The Wild Center (20 mi), Lake Placid Olympic Sites (9–11 mi), Donnelly’s Ice Cream (4.8 mi)

Whether you’re chasing mountain peaks, floating on crystal-clear lakes, or enjoying live music downtown, everything the ADKs have to offer is right at your doorstep.

It was a great stay. My only negative would maybe list it as an upstairs place. I didn’t realize it until after I booked. My husband was recovering from knee replacement and I was a little concerned of him doing the stairs. All worked out though.
