Holiday rentals with lake access in Essex County

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful mountain chalet! The landscaping is beautiful and perfectly complements the serene surroundings. The house itself is new, stylishly designed, and incredibly comfortable. We especially loved relaxing in the sauna after a day of exploring—it was such a luxurious touch. I accidentally broke a glass, our host was so understanding and gracious. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to unwind.

Where do I start...from before I arrived, up until my departure...Joanne was attentive in every way possible. All my questions were answered with an immediate response. The home was extraordinary. The effort Joanne has put in to making it just like home shows. With an abundance of whimsical touches. Up until the day I left, I would see a new thing. As if the enchanting home wasn't enough, the back patio is a place of serenity...with the sounds and view of the river extraordinary. I could go on and on, but I will just say, "it was the best vacation I have ever had". One word describes this Airbnb...AMAZING!!!🩷. I will return next year! Didn't want to leave!!! 😊 Thank you Joanne for your exemplary hospitality!

Such a beautiful spot! The home was impeccably decorated and clean, and the view of lake Champlain and Vermont beyond was unbeatable. We loved our time here and will definitely be back.

Alan was a great host and was extremely accommodating! we will be back for sure! maybe in the summer next time!

The house and location were amazing. We had 10 people and there was more than enough room for all of us. We played ping pong and air hockey until our arms were sore!

This tiny cottage is definitely a hidden gem in the Adirondacks ! Was well suited with just enough space for our group for our 2025 ice fishing adventure. Definitely well worth the value !

The Pond House was a great place to stay for a trip to Saranac, Placid, or the High Peaks region. The location is right on Moody Pond and is private, yet just a short drive away from town. Kelli was proactive in her communication and checking in/out was seamless.

Enjoyable stay, great location for fishing with lakefront on Schroon Lake right across the street

The place is in a great location!! You can walk to Main Street shops under 10 minutes. If you’re visiting Lake Placid, I would highly recommend this place!

Audrey’s Porcupine Farm Barn was the perfect place for us and our pup to get some respite from our day to day grind. With scenic vistas outside our window the space was an ideal blend of rustic and comfortable, and Audrey was around to answer any questions and assist us whenever we needed. We would absolutely stay again - and hopefully will soon!

One of the better air bnbs I’ve stayed at recently. I had a wonderful time and enjoyed all the amenities provided. Ryan was great at communicating and even did a check in with us to see if the stay was going well. Beautiful trail in walking distance from the place and had wonderful views of the local ponds. This was my first time visiting the Adirondacks and I would definitely consider this place for my next adventure there.

Great location! The backyard was awesome! Clean and comfortable.

Meachele's home was well-situated, comfortable, clean, and well-equipped. We didn't get lucky with the weather but really enjoyed our stay, in part because of how kind, helpful, and friendly Meachele was. We'll definitely stay at her place again when we return to Saranac Lake.

This lakeside gem was the setting for one of the most restful and beautiful stays we’ve ever had with Airbnb. I loved sitting every morning on their porch to take in the first bit of morning light, and every suggestion made by our host was better than the last. I’ve visited Vermont several times, but I was blown away by all of the hidden treasure suggested by our host - everything from thrift shops to the best cafes. My two kids had a blast here as well. I would highly recommend for couples, families, or friend groups looking to have fun together.

We had the incredible pleasure of staying at Elyse’s home in the days leading up to our wedding, and I can honestly say it was one of the best Airbnb experiences we’ve ever had. The house itself is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and full of charm. Every room has its own personality, and the views of Schroon Lake are simply breathtaking. Waking up to the morning mist and soft fog rolling over the water felt like something out of a dream. Whether we were sipping coffee on the cozy deck, relaxing by the fire, or enjoying dinner in the sunroom overlooking the lake, every moment was serene. Elyse and her husband were the most gracious hosts—thoughtful, kind, and genuinely warm. You can feel the care they’ve poured into this home and the joy they take in sharing it. We couldn’t recommend this place more to anyone looking for a restful escape or a meaningful stay in nature. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

My wife and I just spent one of the more enjoyable weeks in our long history of visits to the Adirondacks. Jerry and Linda’s log cabin on Middle Saranac Lake is, quite simply, a treasure. Awesome location right on shoreline. Very nice man (Dan) motored us across the lake. Rustic but very comfortable. Spectacular views. Great kitchen. Comfortable bedding. Propane lighting throughout. Weber grill on porch. Two kayaks and one canoe included. Aluminum boat (also included) with electric start Honda was perfect. Lots of tiny islands nearby. Hot (very!) shower, flush toilet. Swimming right from dock. Sandy beach close by. Sunsets, sunrises, total peace and serenity. Just what we were hoping for. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. You will too! David and Debbie B

This cozy, warm, inviting cabin on Rainbow Lake was the perfect vacation place for us - the only sounds we heard all week were loon calls, bird songs, and the cool clean water lapping against the dock. The cabin is nestled in a quiet cove and has the most lovely screened in porch - perfect place to read and sip my morning tea. The dock has a safe kayak launch which was most helpful in keeping us dry at the start and end of each long daily paddle. Kayaks are provided, so no need to bring your own - a nice plus so we didn't have to lug our boats around for a change! Everything about the cabin and the property is exactly how it is shown and described on the page here. While it is tucked in and feels far away - Saranac Lake is 15 minutes away for all your needs. We are hoping to make it an annual vacation destination! And if we are really lucky, perhaps twice a year! Thanks guys, for The Most blissful vacation we've ever experienced. Your place is paradise!

It is our second time there. It is perfect location to do our door winter activity. She has a new mattress that is very good. Would stay there again

Mary Lou’s place was absolutely phenomenal. I came in the middle of October, and it was peak cozy, fall vibes! The cabin next to the docks in the foliage felt like I was in a painting. I absolutely would love to come back and just cozy up under a blanket next to the fire place. Highly recommend staying in this gem of a place if you have the opportunity.

It was super clean and new ! Cozy warm cabin. Perfect set up for small families. Friends could rent out other cabins in the vicinity if needed for a large group gathering and everyone would have their own private space. Really loved this place

We stayed for my daughter’s Midd graduation. It’s less than a 20 minute drive to Middlebury. Ardie and Mike are such lovely, hard working, kind and receptive human beings. I loved meeting them. They were so welcoming and accommodating, down to earth people. I would stay here again in a heartbeat - in any one of the cabins.

I loved this lake house. It is a very efficient use of space and very thought out. It was quieter than expected, being on the main road. The high speed Internet was a super plus for my husband and I simultaneously working with data heavy video sessions and database work. I know high speed Internet in the ADK can be spotty.

Adam was an incredible host. He was extremely responsive and helpful throughout our stay providing recommendations and quick answers to questions whenever needed. The home was immaculately clean when we arrived. This also had to be the most well equipped Airbnb I've ever stayed at. From the kitchen supplies, board games, vinyls, CDs, to the throughly detailed guidebook written by host, I was so beyond impressed! The most outstanding part of this stay is of course the location and the views this home provides. It provided the perfect private oasis for a stay to just unwind and unplug. I'd highly recommend this stay if your local for a tranquil, low-key retreat.
