About this property

Village Hideaway, 1 bdrm efficiency, private entrance. On the Rail Trail.

Retreat to this thoughtfully appointed Village Hideaway - a cozy private room with an ensuite bathroom for one or two guests, and a private entrance. Enjoy the convenience to easily stroll downtown Saranac Lake for dining and shopping via the Adirondack Rail Trail right behind the building. The rail trail is currently completed for 25 miles and is truly an amazing area amenity.

Whether you are visiting friends or family, or coming to adventure outside in the woods or on the water, or for a work trip we have you covered: A sweet space is equipped for preparing simple meals or snacks with a compact refrigerator with freezer, microwave, toaster, drip coffee maker and other kitchen essentials. There is a small deck with a table, chairs, and cushions to sit outside during the warmer months. A secretary's desk awaits those needing a dedicated work space. The Hideaway's ensuite bathroom has a 32" shower stall. Bath essentials are provided including towels and washcloths, hand soap, shower gel, shampoo, and hair dryer. This rental is in the rear of the owner's home with parking a few steps from the private entrance. The Village Nook, a full garden level, is also available through VRBO/Expedia Partners.

Interaction with guests
Mary and Kevin are available whenever needed via text or phone and are usually quick to reply. We are glad to meet our guests but its not required since we provide self-check-in. You'll find a guidebook in the room with the hosts recommendations for dining and outings as well as brochures and maps for area attractions, trails and waterways.

The neighborhood
The Village Hideaway is conveniently located a short walk to downtown Saranac Lake and its shops, cafes, restaurants, and artist galleries. The building behind the home is Bluseed Studios, featuring art exhibits, workshops, plays and live music. Across the street kitty corner is a small park with a tennis/pickleball court and basketball court. Guests have found the convenience of stores located across the street: Dollar General, Aubuchon's Hardware, Kinney Drugs, a Wine and Spirits shop, and a bicycle and snow mobile rental shop. Less than a mile away is the towns’ municipal beach, park and picnic area at Lake Colby - a lovely spot to watch the sunset, and a boat launch on Lower Saranac Lake, which gives access to the spectacular Saranac chain of lakes. Behind the building is the new Adirondack Rail Trail where you can walk, bike, cross country ski or snow mobile for miles! 25 miles of 34 is currently complete as of Fall ' 24. The remaining nine miles is slated to be complete Fall ' 25.

Saranac Lake's history continues as a health and wellness getaway location. Come see why Saranac Lake is one of the northeast's pioneering health resorts and why a get away here in the great north woods is good for the soul.

Other things to note
Mary has a private wellness studio on the main level of the house. Make an appointment for a rejuvenating experience. Enjoy a private yoga or qigong lesson, yoga therapy, Reiki, BioMat, or sound meditation/healing. Check the Inner Quest Yoga & Wellness Center website for details.

Let the Hideaway be your home away.
Breath, relax, feel and be.
We enjoy hosting guests from all over the world!
Kind regards, Mary & Kevin

Perfect for our short weekend away, we were made to feel at ease and were very comfortable. Kevin gave us great tips on local attractions and was the perfect host. (Mary was away). Will definitely come back.

I stayed here for Ironman Lake Placid, it was the perfect location, I'll defiantly go back if its available. It was far enough away from the race area and also close enough to it. the scenery of the area is amazing. Mary was really helpful and accommodating, the room was great, clean cozy and peaceful just what was need before the race.

Lovely, comfortable place in a great location

We stayed for two nights. The room, which adjoins the host's home and yoga studio, has a private entrance with parking next to the entrance. Our room was fairly large, and had a mini fridge, Kuerig coffee maker as well as a large, very clean bathroom. We even had an outdoor deck with seating for two. All amenities were first rate. We enjoyed the location as it was just a 5 minute walk to town.

Perfect accommodations

This place was the perfect accommodation for my family. When we walked in we couldn't believe the space/size of room, which was great for the air mattress that we brought for our son. The bed was comfortable and the bedding was warm. The place was very neat and clean and the owners had everything spelled out with directions that included towel use, recycles, and garbage. Even though the bathroom was technically "shared", it was just outside our room through a door. The owners were very nice and made suggestions for dining. I think the most thoughtful thing that they did was to provide us each with a bottle of water on the night stand when we arrived. Thank you so much and should we return to the area, we know where we will be staying.

Comfortable but no kitchen

This is a small room with an attached bathroom. It's comfortable but if you want to cook or eat this is not a good choice. There is a mini-fridge and microwave but no cooker. Also no dining table and only one chair. There is a table with chairs outside on the porch but if it rained, as it did during our stay, you have to balance your food on your knees. The bed is very comfortable and there is a ceiling fan. The shower area is good. The location is convenient -- half a mile to the main shopping street. The owner has left useful guides to local dining, hiking and other activities. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but we would have loved to be able to eat comfortably indoors.

Bike trail was right outside, we took a 10 mile ride after arriving. Hiked the next day at jackrabbit trail, drove some scenic roads, fall colors were fantastic. Went to Lake Placid the next day, did gondola and zipline at the ski jump center, walked around town, then hiked the cobble trail which was a good uphill trail with a nice view at the top. We then went back to the ski jump to watch them practice, it was cool. As far as accommodations, there was not a table to eat on or to play games in the room, there is a table and chairs on the porch.
