This house has plenty of space for a couple of families. It is right off a paved road, not far from downtown Saranac Lake. The location is quiet and secluded with trees surrounding. The water is around 8 feet deep off the end of the dock, great for swimming or launching canoes or kayaks. You can see the sunset from the dock. There was firewood provided for the outdoor fire pit or the fireplace in the living room. The host, Alan, is very communicative. Would stay again.

Amazing Lakeside Property

My family and I had an amazing time staying at the Kiwassa Lake Lodge. Alan, the host, was very responsive and easy to get in touch with if we had any questions. We stayed with our two small children and brought two dogs and the house was just perfect. Alan continuously made sure we had firewood for both the indoor and outdoor fires and the house was very clean and comfortable. We are already booked for another lakeside adventure this winter!

Rustic Charm

A bit more rustic than expected but the host, Alan, was extremely responsive and willing to please, and that goes a long way. He answered any query within minutes. Very peaceful setting with the cries of the loons at night. Great hiking nearby. Two restaurants right in Saranac Lake -- The Left Bank, and Fiddlehead, we're very good.
