About this property

Wooded Hilltop Retreat in Historic Saranac Lake

Off the beaten path, this quiet hilltop home overlooks the Adirondack Mountains and historic village of Saranac Lake. This charming retreat is decorated with knotty pine walls and large picture windows that provide terrific views of the woodlands surrounding the property. My place is thoroughly cleaned in between each visit. One of the most unique features of the home is the screened front porch. Here you can spend a lazy afternoon sipping tea, reading, or watching wildlife (deer, chipmunks, squirrels, and humming birds) from the comfort of two original antique Adirondack "Cure" chairs. On the main level, you'll find a spacious great room with new wall-to-wall carpeting and a George Jacques dining table and chairs. This area is the perfect setting for shared meals, games, and conversation with family and friends. There is also a sitting area with a wood-burning brick fireplace that will warm you after a day of skiing (wood provided). Enjoy a cup of hot chocolate by the fire or catch the latest shows on cable or streaming services on a new flat screen wall-mounted Smart TV in front of a new queen-sized sleeper sofa. The Master Bedroom features a king-sized bed, a large picture window with views of the village below, a second flat screen TV, and a new private tiled bathroom with tiled shower. There is also a complete bathroom with a full tub off the hall adjacent to the living area. As you descend the custom-made spiral staircase, you will find two additional bedrooms one with a queen bed and the other with twin beds and another ceramic-tiled bathroom. A full size washer and dryer are also on the lower level. The fully equipped kitchen has been recently remodeled with granite countertops, flooring, cabinets and appliances. I provide everything from linens to spices, condiments, coffee and tea, and wood for the fireplace. The kitchen is fully equipped with every pot and pan and small appliance. You can walk to town for your groceries or cross-country ski or snowmobile along the "railtrail". Easy access if you are a snowmobilier. Saranac Lake provides a central location for your Adirondack adventures. You are only a few miles from the Mt. Pisgah Ski and Tubing Center and Lake Placid. Enjoy skiing at Whiteface Mtn., boating, rock climbing, hiking, fishing, and golf. Close to airport, shops, restaurants, and lakeside beach. Lots of fun family activities in beautiful surroundings.

Glorious introduction to the Adirondacks!
This house is just charming with all the wood and rustic touches. With three bedrooms and three baths, there were more than enough rooms for us to be comfortable. The owner’s kitchen is very well stocked. We had everything we needed and more. And the house is walking distance to a grocery and drug store and a nice walk from the cute Saranac Lake downtown. We loved it!

About the host

Hosted by Anne Cook

Host profile image
The house was built by my family over 80 years ago and is updated yearly; I was born and grew up in the house with my sister and attended St. Bernard's school and the public high school before entering Potsdam University. After receiving my degree, I moved to Long Island where I married my college sweetheart and had a girl and boy. We moved to Westchester County, where I reside today when I am not in my home in Saranac Lake.

Why they chose this property

My property has it all: gorgeous views, every amenity, terrific neighbors, a large lawn, badminton, a gas grill, picnic table, beautiful gardens, and the ability to walk to town.

What makes this property unique

We provide everything from linens to spices, condiments, coffee and tea and wood for the fireplace. The kitchen is fully equipped with every pot and pan to small appliance. You can walk to town for your groceries or cross-country ski or snowmobile along the railroad tracks.
