Lakefront Retreat on Lake Flower near Lake Placid

The house was beautiful and cozy. We were there in -23 degree weather and the inside was definitely warm enough. The driveway down to the lower level is a little steep and narrow, and in winter weather needs caution and good tires. This is described in the check-in process. Overall it was an excellent location right on the lake.

Nice views, fun hot tub and cold plunge in the lake. Spacious house.

We stayed here with our friends (two couples, three kids) for Thanksgiving weekend. The house was just gorgeous. It snowed the whole weekend, and sitting in the warm living room looking out upon the scenery couldn’t have been more idyllic. The house is huge. The older kids had a great time in the lower level twin bedroom rooms. The youngest stayed in the loft next to her parents upstairs, and we stayed in the main level. The house is so cozy. The kitchen is well stocked with pans and good knives (a pleasant surprise in a rental!). The grill and jacuzzi worked well. It’s a five minute drive to a grocery store, liquor store, and other conveniences. Lake place is about a twenty minute easy drive. We hope to come back!

We were so looking forward to our annual ADK trip with our family and this house listing appeared to check off all the boxes. The view from the driveway & the dock does not disappoint. Sadly this all changed when we went inside. The things they claimed to have for use on the lake were not there. There was only 1 kayak and it was in pretty bad shape, the peddle boat did not have any backs so it was unusable, and the SUP boards were so beat up I was afraid to use them. Emailed hosts immediately and the next day they had their maintenance person bring us his personal fishing kayak, not the same as a recreational one. We would have brought our own from home had the listing not stated the house came with water toys. The basement bathroom smelled of sewage and the basement can use a dehumidifier, the BBQ literally caught fire, the garbage was overflowing from the previous guests and raccoons got into it so we had to clean it up in order to keep the vermin out, and last but not least there were no ceiling fans in the house, other than the decorative one in the loft space, and the 2 box fans there didn't work. I emailed the owners throughout our stay in the hopes our concerns would be validated, sadly that did not happen. I am leaving this review in the hope that others will be aware or that the hosts make changes to the accommodations &/or listing so that it at least reflects what is really there.

Let’s go with the pros of the house first. It is a perfect location. Right on the water in a quiet bay. You can walk to town. It is close to Lake Placid and many of the great things to do up here. The house has enough pots pans glassware and silverware. It has plenty of toilet paper, paper towels and shower essentials. The washer and dryer are convenient. The beds are comfortable and you can sleep quite a few people. It could use a toaster instead of having to use e toaster oven. Now the cons. The cleaning crew did not do a good job cleaning up from the previous renters. Dirt was all over the floors. We had to sweep up before we moved our stuff in. If you have a boat do not drive it down the driveway as there is no way to turnaround There are cobwebs in most corners with bugs in them. The hot tub was fun of leaves and very cloudy with a bad smell. That should be cleaned after each guest with chemicals available to shock it. The WiFi is very weak and they need to add a couple boosters because it is a big house. If you are going to advertise water toys then have them in working order. The peddle board has no roof as in the VRBO picture nor does it have any backs to it. The rudder is a broken off kayak paddle and there is no way to steer it. The paddle boards are chewed up with gouges taken out of them. One kayak is in pretty good shape but the other one has two cracks underneath and almost sank

A beautiful peaceful property. We are grateful for lots of great amenities . The hot tub was amazing. Washer and dryer a plus. Great location- So many things to do in the area. Hosts were clear and concise in their instructions. We had a wonderful three generation family vacation!

Driveway was true to description. Entryway had a build up of ice that ice melt couldn't take care of.

Wonderful lakefront home on such a peaceful lake. Very quiet. Plenty of room for 8 people. We could walk to town and browse the shops. Brought our boats and toured up the locks. Guys went fishing. I kayaked every morning. House has everything you would need. Easy entry and easy checkout. Definitely would rent again! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

I have to say that this property is just waiting for a good time...location worked for us as we have a small boat and enjoy all these waters for fishing...it was a "first time" fishing for our 2 granddaughters and they are now hooked...was nice because there is a little dock we could tie the boat up at...never dull because there is lots of boat traffic to watch while sitting and enjoying the dock...the house has that ADK feel and was very clean and ready for it's company, adequately supplied and lots of room...whether you're already well-acquainted with these mountains or staying for the first time you will get that mountain feeling right away...I thought it was a good place for younger children and is close to town for groceries, restaurants and general needs. The only idea I would add is that, if we keep getting these over-heated summers like we have the past few years, an AC window unit would help to survive the extreme heat... but overall we had a fantastic time with family!

We had a great time at the Lake House. The house was very comfortable and well outfitted, and it was great being lakefront with a dock to swim and kayak off of.

The home was very clean. SWe however were 200 feet from the main rd. Some outside things needed fixing. Overall it was a very pleasant stay

We had a great stay at this cozy cabin on the lake. The cabin was very clean and spacious. The beds were super comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. The location in Saranac Lake was very close to the Main Street shops and restaurants. We were also close to many hiking trails and other towns such as Tupper Lake and Lake Placid were within a 20-30 minute drive.

We stayed during the winter carnival! My family enjoys ice fishing and hiking in the snow. While the weather was in the 40s we still found lakes with ice and some trails with beautiful views and snow. The winter festival was a bonus. The home was clean and relatively spacious for 6 adults, a dog and a toddler, and communication with Lindsay was easy. We would definitely come back again!

This was our second stay at the Lake House. Host is responsive, house is immaculate, quiet neighborhood, best waterfront access and views of entire Lake Flower. My family calls it “ a little slice of heaven “. Have rented for years on Lake George and Hadlock Pond. And this is a superior property and experience to both of those locations. Your only issue will be getting a reservation for the week before Memorial Day - because I will be booking that week again for next year :) Very highly recommend.

Was a great place to stay, loved waking up looking out to the lake. Appreciated the flexibility to allow our college student to stay with us for Easter when she originally planned to stay in her dorm! The house was clean and we loved the gas fireplace with the chillier weather, super cozy!

We went up for a couple nights to enjoy the fall foliage. This place is absolutely perfect! Everything on one level which was great for my parents. Home was immaculate. Beds were super comfortable. The lakeview from the deck was gorgeous. Going back in the spring! Loved it!

We had a very nice amd relaxing time there. The house is very beutiful, 4 br was enough for all of us, rooms where clean. Kitchenware were very useful. The outdoor landscape was eye catching. Lake view was mesmerizing. If youre looking for a true relaxtion I'll definitely recommend it.

Property was spacious and clean. Cooking utensils and linens provided. Really nice view of the lake and quiet location.

Spacious and comfortable home for the four of us within easy walking distance to town.

This is a great little cabin! We stayed in the winter and the fireplace is such a treat! Three great bedrooms and an amazing location. We will have to return in the summer!

Beautiful property and excellent stay. House was better than advertised/ pictured. Views of the lake from every room . Great amenities to use on the property. Would definitely stay here again

The lake house was large enough to accommodate our family + our dog. Close to both Saranac and Lake Placid for day trips and hikes. Beautiful lake view with dock. Just wish the road wasn’t so close to hear traffic over nature.

Great location but there was a bit of road noise especially in the early morning. Property was exactly as advertised. Cottage was well stocked with everything you might need. Loved the gas fireplace. Would definitely rent again

Nice spot!! Check in was fairly easy. Comfortable and cozy living area. Bed comfy!! Close to main attractions too.

Your accommodations were exactly as advertised. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality. My family and I enjoyed it.

The house is amazing, absolutely the perfect lakefront Adirondack property. Our hosts were very responsive to our communications. We enjoyed everything about our stay and booked the property for next year before we left.

House was as described. Comfortable and cozy. Fishing, boating and close to town. Beautiful stars on clear nights! Lindsay was great to work with! Highly recommend!

We had a great time utilizing the Lake House as our home base. We went boating, fishing and swimming and enjoyed many things that the local area had to offer. Communication was great and we plan to return next year!

The location and property were outstanding, and our hosts were highly responsive and professional. We highly recommend you consider this rental for your next ADK getaway!

An amazing place, walking distance to town and on the lake. It was quiet. Even though u are close to town plenty of wildlife, deer swimming, geese, ducks, and plenty of privacy. It has a beautiful fireplace and comfortable beds. Definitely plan on returning in the near future! Lyndsey the owner was fantastic!

Second time staying here. Great location. Walkable to town and quiet area. House has everything you need. Easy check in and out. Host was very easy to communicate with. Beautiful sight to sit and relax!

Lovely property. Incredible lake frontage. Convenient to town of Saranac. Highly recommend.

We loved this cozy cabin! Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, easy access to the lake, were all great. The house is located close to town, with plenty of places being a nice walk away. There's a lot to do within a close drive as well. Groceries are conveniently located on the drive into town. We loved getting ice cream from Mountain Mist.

Very central location within walking distance of town

We stayed for 5 nights and had a wonderful time. The location was great, we were close to town and an easy drive to lake placid and surrounding areas for hiking and sightseeing. Property was exactly what we were looking for and we could even bring our pup which was an added bonus.
