About this property

Beautiful waterfront cabin; breathtaking views of Whiteface Mountain

This cabin was built by my grandmother as a painting retreat. It's on the Lake Clear Outlet and has an amazing, oversized, screened-in porch; great for viewing the beautiful waterway and Whiteface Mountain. The cabin is a work of art in and of itself that was furnished and decorated by her. The gal had class, and it shows. This location is perfect for a couple looking to spend time kayaking, canoeing, hiking, fishing, biking, painting, hanging out in Saranac Lake and so on. Lake Clear proper is only a paddle away from this location, and the Fish Creek ponds are practically across the street. Those bodies of water are beautiful public ponds; perfect for swimming and canoeing. There's also a pull-out couch because the cabin is certainly comfortable for a family of three as well. On-site there is a electric 2 burner setup for cooking. In addition there is a Blackstone (gas) flat top on the covered porch and a gas grill outside the porch. There is of course a full size fridge as well.

Of note-
(For now there is a pump house supplying water that is not recommended for drinking. This pump system will likely be replaced by a Well that is being installed early next season. I will update this message to keep clients informed on that progress. We have always been on a well but sold a neighboring property mid season last year and installed the pump to keep everything running smooth during a busy season.) edited 2025

Cabin on Lake Clear Outlet

This cabin sits right on the outlet, and is less than a mile from the ADK bike trail. As paddlers and pedalers, this location was ideal. The trade off is distance from town (Saranac Lake) and the lack of a washer/dryer and a traditional oven/stove top. The quiet at night was lovely.

This is our second time staying at this cabin. We had a great time relaxing, fishing and paddling on the canoe with our dog. The lake/mountain views are phenomenal. We forgot to bring swim towels but there were some available for use. The cabin was clean, had a good number of fans for the hotter days and it was stocked with the necessities. The property manager, Sam, is quick to respond when contacted.

Perfect getaway

This sweet little cabin had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Loved the seclusion but also not far from things to do off property (highly recommend the trails at Paul Smiths VIC). The host has provided everything down to the detail. We enjoyed the canoe and the dock, but especially the screened in back porch for all of our relaxing time.

We had an amazing time at this cozy cabin in the woods. The setting is very quiet and private. The cabin came stocked with about everything we needed although we did not bring campfire chairs due to the pictures in the listing, and wish we had brought our own. The property manager showed up unannounced one day and walked right by our window which gave us a little scare. We caught several fish right off the dock and had fun trying the canoe that is included with the cabin. Great spot!

This is a cute cabin in a fantastic location. Right on the water of lake clear outlet and near to the rail trail and hiking. Lots of cooking items are supplied and the screened porch is wonderful. Coffee on the dock for sunrise is a treat. The reason this cabin didn't get a 5/5 review. Water is pumped from the lake and is not potable. Fine for washing and such but not safe for drinking. There was no indication of this in the description or anywhere in the cabin. I contacted Sam when we noticed the pump house and it wasn't until the next day that he let us know we should use bottled water for drinking. This is a great spot. Bring bottled water or maybe Sam could provide a few gallons to start you off.

Lived up to Billing

Cozy little cabin right on the water. Full kitchen if a little scattered and using some unusual appliances (gas griddle, hot plate, refrig, all on porch). But great for two. Could accommodate 4 but two would have to use sofa bed in great room. Wifi access good though pretty much limited to cabin. Great dock for chilling on and fishing from. Fire ring worked but not friendly for rain if fire still too hot to cover. Nice having zoned heating so bathroom could be warmed on cold mornings without having to heat whole cabin. Wished furniture used for kitchen table was meant to sit at. But the negatives were minor and easily worked around. Great that cabin was only a mile from the Appalachian Rail Trail! And restaurant/bar just down the road (1892) had great food and cozy atmosphere.

Amazing!

This place was phenomenal. One of the best we’ve had in the Adirondacks. Cabin was exactly as described. Just a handful of properties on the entire outlet of Lake Clear so it was very peaceful and quiet. The cabin was fully stocked with essentials and very clean. Perfect for a couple. We enjoyed the screened in porch. We definitely would stay here again. Sam was very responsive each time I messaged him and very accommodating when we asked to extend our stay. Thanks for a great vacation.

Little dream gem

Celebrating our 50th anniversary at a lovely secluded cabin with everything you needed. Overlooking a beautiful creek which flowed into Lake Clear. Very clean and neat, and the property owner was very responsive to our questions. We definitely are coming back to this gem in the woods! Thank you, Sam.

About the host

Hosted by Sam Darring

Host profile image
I'm a local guy who with a company in LA that builds recording studios for professional music and film engineers. My wife and I moved back here some years ago, and we live in Saranac Lake. My family owns a few vacation rentals, which I manage, in Saranac Lake and Lake Clear. This location, like the others, is near and dear to us, as it has been in our family for generations. I was born down the street in a house my father built. My brother, sister, and I were toddlers fishing off the dock of this cabin, and we have been fishing there ever since. It's lovey to share this place, and the Adirondack experience, with folks from near and far. My family and I are excited to host you!

Why they chose this property

This lovely cabin is nested up next to the Lake Clear Outlet, and it looks right across the waterway towards the beautiful Whiteface Mountain. The view is breathtaking. The dock is the prize, as you can pull up a chair and get lost in the view or boat away into the painting yourself.

What makes this property unique

This is a one-of-a-kind place. The cabin is perfect for a couple, small family or traveling buddies. It is on the water; tucked away in nature with a unique, beautiful of the Adirondack Park. There are also plenty of other wonderful waterways to explore right next door. Staying in this cabin will be an experience you will not forget.
