Wonderful Adirondack Escape
Lem and Anita's property is wonderful! We stayed for a week during my son's CAN/AM camp. The location is conveniently located between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake. The property is gorgeous: mountain views, beautiful lake, abundant wildlife, peaceful and quiet. The accommodations are private, clean and very nice. The dock, diving platform and kayaks/canoes were big hits. I would highly recommend Lem & Anita's property to anyone looking to have a phenomenal Adirondack vacation!

Unparalleled property in the heart of the Adirondacks
Unparalleled sweeping view of mountains from dock on pristine lake. Unit is private, beautiful, and well-stocked for everything we needed. Provided coffee is a nice, warm touch. Grounds are sublime Adirondack habitat(s), a work of art-in-progress by the owners, with walking trails and an incredible array of flora. Awesome swimming dock and rock, and place to watch sunrises and sunsets. A small armada of human-powered boats. Approach to house from Saranac Lake through Oseetah Bog is beautiful in and of itself, and is also a great place to walk. Lem and Anita are pleasant, engaging, creative, and helpful. We will be back again, because I can't think how one could improve upon a central Adirondack experience.
