This property was perfect for our fall family trip. Its location was off the beaten path but close enough to town to give us easy access to activities. We were impressed by the amount of water frontage. We had extraordinary weather for October and were able to fish and use the provided canoe. Our host, Alan, was easy to contact and responsive to our questions/needs before, during, and after our stay. We are so happy to have found this place! ##### Jean S.

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. ##### Eileen Healy C. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joel H. Sep 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Serene and Spacious Kiwassa Lodge was just what we needed, serene and spacious. Sitting on the patio or down on the dock, there was near silence, just an occasional boat (but no jet skis). Alan is very responsive and accommodating. The house is not a cookie cutter lake house but an architecturally appealing design and likely built in the hey day of Adirondacks (not that its time has past) with lots of lake facing glass.We had everything we needed and everything was clean. Not quite perfect, but pretty close. And any short comings were forgotten when a bald eagle made a few passes by us when sitting on the dock. ##### Joel H.

This house is very large and wonderful! It is directly on Kiwassa Lake, and easy to get the provided boats into the water. You can boat (canoe, kayak, flat bottom) to Oseetah Lake, and then into Lake Flower, or use the locks (which was fun!) to get to Second Pond, and then the Saranac Lakes. The home is very quiet and peaceful. You cannot see or hear any neighbors. Downtown Saranac Lake is only three miles away, and then Lake Placid another ten minutes, with endless hiking available!! We will definitely try to make this home a yearly tradition!! ##### John L. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John B. Sep 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Spot - Plenty of Space The property is as represented and there are no downside surprises. It is gloriously spacious inside and out, private and clean. There is plenty of privacy for couples and families to be separate but tons of common space inside and out to congregate. Very comfortable over all. Equipped with everything we needed kitchen wise and two grills make it nice for large BBQs. The fire pit outside and the fire place inside is great as we had unseasonably cold nights. The heat does come up quickly in the rest of the house as we needed it one night, mid forties. This is an elegant Dak lake house that is both modern with updates and some rustic qualities that add personality. The fishing is surprisingly good given the population. There are two kayaks and a canoe the kids loved. Dock is nice.. steps down the banking stairs is easy, but may be rough on the grand parents with knee problems. If you have a big group or family that needs to spread out and relax.. Go Here. We really enjoyed our stay. A couple local tips. If you are a health conscious foodie, the Aldi and Grand Union may not float your boat. There is a fully stocked healthfood store called, Nori's, that also has coffee and pre-made items. Sunday's, in summer, is a farmers market in the town park by the waterfront. We plan on comming back for a longer stay next time ##### John B.

Dec 28, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Overall: Clean, quiet, private, updated, allows large dogs We had a wonderful Christmas Vacation! Truly a winter wonderland experience. Owner kept us supplied with firewood and maintained walkways (We had some snow). Kept up with communication very well. The house is well-kept and well-supplied. It has beautiful views and and is in a great location- close to Saranac Lake (about 8-10 minutes), only a 18-20 minute drive to Lake Placid, 30 minutes to Whiteface. Definitely considering returning for a summer vacation at the lake! ##### Sarah E.
