Quiet and serene location directly on Rainbow Lake. Great place to stay when exploring the Adirondacks. Good fishing and paddling right from the property. Kitchen was well stocked. There are two comfortable areas to watch movies or play games on rainy days.

Beautiful place for us to relax for a long weekend. Accommodations were awesome. Kitchen was ultra stocked with all the necessities and more. Charcoal grill attached to fire pit was so nice to use. There is also a gas grill. The lake view is serene with the sound of the loons. Spectacular!Last, I have to say that you will never get to work with a nicer host than Hilary. She is so accomodating and made the stay even more memorable.

Wonderful house and property! Very clean and had everything you needed - towels, sheets, blankets, fully-stocked kitchen. Dock, paddle boat, canoe, kayaks and fire pit were all great and fun to use. Swimming in the lake was wonderful. Easiest access was up/down a ladder attached to the end of the dock. We brought our own floats and rafts to use in the water (plus an air pump to inflate) and our life vests for the canoe and kayaks. Very secluded, private and peaceful. Sunsets were beautiful. Dining table has 4 seats (but could fit 6 with addl chairs) and there’s 4 stools at the kitchen counter. Small gas grill on deck worked well to grill dinner for the 6 of us. The top floor of house has 2 bedrooms and a full bath. There is a spiral staircase down to bottom floor where there is the kitchen, living room, full bath, and a combo bedroom and 2nd living room/space. The town of Saranac Lake is a short 15 minute drive away with a grocery store, liquor store etc. Base cost on listing is for 2 people - each person over 2 is an additional 30 per person per night. Host was very quick to respond to any questions we had before and during our stay. We had a wonderful family va vacation.

Rejuvenate on Rainbow Lake

Our family enjoyed our stay on Rainbow Lake! The kitchen is very well-appointed, and the home is in such a great location with beautiful views from the two upstairs bedrooms. We loved spending time in Saranac Lake (Origin coffee and Blue Moon Cafe) and Lake Placid (great bookstore, movie theater, and walking around Mirror Lake.) You could easily spend a day there. We brought our small dog. Since the property slopes toward the water, it wasn't suited for 'running' or playing. We found a park about a 5-minute drive away, so we played fetch there, and she loved it. Over the week, she got much more daring about going in the water. Thank you again, Hilary, for a wonderful stay!!

Thank you. Im so glad you enjoyed the place. The field by the boathouse is flat. We play alot of frisbee and sticks with my dogs. I throw them down the hill, and into the lake they go

A very nice, secluded property on a beautiful lake. Perfect location for hiking, canoeing and swimming. Lake Placid and Saranac Lake are less than 25 minutes away. The house was comfortable and well equipped. Be aware there is a spiral staircase, so if you are disabled or have an older pet, you need to be able to use the stairs to get from bedrooms to the kitchen and family room. There is no cell service, so finding it can be tricky. Satellite GPS is recommended. There was an initial misunderstanding as there was no mention of a pet fee of 300 in the listing. When booking, I forgot to check the box for having a dog. Had I done that, I would’ve seen the fee. Other than that, there were no issues. We truly enjoyed our stay and paddling beautiful Rainbow. Lake.

Hi there. We are so glad you had a great time. We do have service and offer 400mps or more in speed. We had some big storms. Spectrum restored service each time. i wish you had notified me. I could have told you what was up. Note: Many phones have a setting that turns on wifi calling. Once done all, phones work too. This info was In the attachments i sent to you. As for the pet fee. Since your stay was shorter. I refunded some money. We do have rugs on the circular stairs for ease of use.
