Beautiful property and history abound. Loved the antiques and pictures. The great room and sunporch and screened in porch were all so wonderful. The location for canoers was perfect. Saranac Lake has so much to do and don’t forget to go to Donnellys Ice Cream daily for the best ice cream on Earth!

Among the trees!

The cabin was very clean, not fancy but your family cabin. The scenery from the porch was beautiful and enjoyed watching the boats on the lake. Did enjoy the various birds in the morning light. Saw a bald eagle and enjoyed the Loons each morning and evening. The town of Saranac Lake was quaint and enjoyed talking to the locals- especially Ann at Ann's Crepe shop! Breakfast was delicious at Ann's!

This was our 3rd stay at Sky Acres. The house is very comfortable for our party of 7-8 adults. Plenty of room for everyone. The view is incomparable. Dock area is not easy to access and needs a lot of improvements to make it safer and usable.

Great property, amazing views. It’s our 3rd stay here. Wish they had a way to watch TV. They could use a light over the kitchen sink, the towels were not good. Other than that we do love the rustic cabin, the location is perfect, the views worth the trip. Overall we love this property.

This very secluded rustic log cabin is truly amazing -appropriately decorated with a wonderful great room, has both screened and open air porches, fantastic views, a large flat grass area and the water is crystal clear. You won’t realize there are any neighbors until you swim out 20 yards. The biggest downside is the waterfront is a very steep 120 steps from the relatively level area around the cabin and is challenging to navigate. The property overlooks a relatively narrow boat channel and the afternoon noise from motorboats and surf skis can be a bit disrupting. But we would visit again.

Beautiful Property

The property was beautiful inside and out. Very nice place to stay for multiple people and many nights. The big window in the living room was a nice place for morning coffee as well as the porch, which had a great view. The only downfall, no lighting in the front once it was dark and there was no outside firepit. Other than those small items, it was a very nice place to stay. Will look to potentially come back in the future.

Family fishing vacation

Tanya has been wonderful to deal with. This is our 2nd time at Sky Acres. The view from the porch is unmatched. The walk to the dock is long but the price you pay for the view. The cabin is very large with room to spread out and allow groups to go multiple things at once. We will be back next year again! BTW. The pike and bass fishing in Osetah and the waters around Sky Acres was amazing

Beautiful Setting

The view from the back porch is one of the nicest at any house we've stayed in. It's quiet and serene, which was exactly what we were looking for on our vacation. Just down the road, we found a great walking path that leads through a wonderful section of the woods. The log cabin was nice inside as well. Everything was neat and it had everything we were looking for. There was a strong musty smell when we arrived, but a few days of airing out the place pretty much took care of that. The screened-in back porch was our favorite place to hang out during the day when we weren't out hiking. Overall, it was a great week.

Great location but the place is outdated.

We rented this place for an extended weekend with the family. The location of the property is fantastic and we had a lot of great times. The reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because of the conditions of the house and surrounding area. The house is outdated and we found a dead mouse in the leaving room. In addition the stairs to the lake were not safe and the area around the dock at the lake was hazardous. The canoe is pretty old and was leaking.

Lovely Vacation Home

This is a beautiful home with many interesting details and lots of space to gather inside. I enjoyed looking at some old collectibles.. It is a very steep walk down to the water but there is a dock down there to fish off of or tie up a boat like we did. I would not recommend this place if you have real small children as there is a very steep cliff like drop off between the house and water. There is a nice front lawn though which was perfect for the set of corn hole we brought! The one thing that my family was super disappointed in was that outdoor fires were prohibited. When going on vacation to the Adirondacks camp fires are part of the joy. The owner was incredibly nice and very responsive though no matter what time of day I messaged her. We would definitely recommend this place especially if you have a large family and want spaces large enough to celebrate together and yet places to get away from each other and retreat..

Beautiful spot…some suggestions

We really enjoyed being in this secluded spot. The house was in good shape- the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was fine…it could use more lights. The porch area was wonderful…a great place to listen to the loons and view the mountains. There was no internet and this was an issue for most of us. I personally didn’t mind being offline but if we needed to contact each other while we were out climbing a mountain, we were not able to. The wood stove was wonderful as it was cold at night. However, there were no instructions on using the stove…luckily we were a group who was familiar with how to use the stove. You might want to include instructions. The major issue was the dock…it needs a lot of work in the area by the lake…the dock needs to be repaired.

Very rustic for sure!

This is such a unique property, even for the ADK. Peace and quiet and we look forward to visiting again. The view is special. Two issues we had is that it is 2022. Even if you want to disconnect, you shouldn't be forced too! The neighbors have Wi-Fi, so assumed cable is run to the area. Having a smart tv or some sort of connection would be better. Speaking of investment, the dock area needs to be repaired and renovated...it felt dangerous down there. Lots of greatness to this spot, we will be back!

PERFECT getaway with amazing views!

My family stayed here during my October wedding weekend and it was the most perfect place to stay. Just a quick 8 minute drive into town which was great because my wedding was at Hotel Saranac. The house is perfectly secluded with absolutely stunning views of Oseetah Lake and all the mountains. The photos don’t even do it justice. The home itself is so beautiful- the perfect Adirondack charm. The rooms are nice sizes and there’s plenty of space around the house for the kids to play. There’s no doubt we will be back again- already planning another family trip!
