Our First Christmas
The accommodations and amenities were as described. The cabin was clean, organized and beautifully themed. The parking was appropriate, plowed and the salt and shovel was helpful that was left. Enjoyed the privacy. We felt like we were in a beautiful snow globe.

Great Bear Cabin!
We loved the Bear Cabin and the extensive bear theming that made it feel special. Great location within longer walking distance to the town. Was easy to get the available boats on the water and great lake views!

Beautiful setting on Lake Colby
We generally were happy with our stay at bear cabin. The owner was very responsive to any and all items that came up. General cleanliness was a bit low in our opinion, but given the setting and beautiful lake view from the picture window we were able to overlook that. We did need to cut our visit short for personal reasons, but would rent at the location again. Proximity to the lake cannot be beat/ boats available to use and an abundance of fish to keep the kids and well myself busy even with sub par weather. The local community was great offering advice on tackle and things to do. Seems like the town of saranac is going through some improvements, lots of construction making parking difficult, but the addition of a rail trail will make this an even better location to visit in the future.

Disappointing
The cabin was indeed right on the lake. However, the pics did not reflect what it really looked like. Overall, a bit shabby.The beds were uncomfortable, the blinds did not work, and although we paid a clean up fee we were asked to strip the beds, bag up linen and towels, and bag up all the trash. What is the clean up fee for?

Nice cabin had all the items in the kitchen towels hot shower and very clean. Beautiful Scenery and view to the lake and location to town groceries restaurant and Lake placid. Just know that the driveway down to cabin you need a 4 well drive or a good SUV . We enjoyed our stay and loved the coszy cabin.

Cozy Christmas Cabin
Overall this was an amazing home away from home. The weather was below freezing all 3 nights of our stay, but the gas fireplace kept it cozy. The only negative aspect was how cold the floors were, but the wool socks were a great barrier. Owners did say that they would be putting in area rugs to help with the cold. Owners were quick to respond to questions and concerns, and very responsive to our very few needs. We would book this place in a heartbeat, should we be looking for a place to stay in the Saranac Lake area.

My wife and I stayed at the Bear cabin along with our dog. We had a great time, the cabin was well appointed, clean and very comfortable. We had absolutely no issues but during the rental process Huda was quick to respond to my questions. We would absolutely stay again if we were to visit Saranac Lake again!

Great Getaway
Our family rented 3 cabins. We loved the views. We really appreciated the availability of the kayaks, boats and canoes. The dock was great for the little ones to fish from and the lake had easy access for swimming. Cabins were well stocked w necessities and we appreciated the basket. Communication with owner was excellent. We did have a few issues during our stay. The hot water tank had to be replaced but, if we wanted hot water, we had no choice. Service was prompt and friendly. The firewood must have been wet because we couldn’t get much of it to light and what we were able to light smoked like crazy. The grills were in bad need of cleaning. We had very few garbage bags and the pullout for the garbage cans in Bear cottage would only pull out halfway, making it very difficult to access the recycle bin. Suggestion-a bit more clear and thorough set of instructions for operating the A/C - heating units would have been appreciated. Took us a couple of days to figure it out. Overall, we had a great time, were impressed w the amenities and hope to return in the future. Our grandchildren said - “ It was their best vacation ever.”

Perfect cabin and beautiful lake!
We stayed for a long weekend before kids went back to school. We brought our dog and everyone had a blast! Beautiful cabin on the lake. Everything you need for a relaxing stay! We fished the lake with provided boats, grilled on a charcoal grill (loved that it was charcoal) really brought back memories of my childhood! We treated it as a device free weekend and really connected with our kids! So worth it!! We will be back.

Perfect lake stay!
This cabin was everything we hoped for on our Saranac Lake trip. The cabin is clean and comfortable and has everything you need. The grounds are right on the lake with a dock, boat rack with canoes and kayaks, nice fire pit and chairs, and there's a little city beach right next door to walk to. 5 mins from town and all the amenities. We'll be back!
