The house is very clean and comfortable. The view of the lake from the screened in porch and the second floor balcony is fantastic! My kids and grandkids took advantage of the canoe, kayak and paddle board. The indoor air hockey game came in handy on the rainy day. The fire pit was a great place for the family to gather. We plan on staying there again. ##### Kathy K.

Extended family gathering ages 25-80\. The beautiful setting and view from the upper deck kept the less mobile happy at the house while others hiked, paddled, and cycled. Thoughtfully equipped and supplied house. Lovely back yard with a fire pit. Screened-in back porch on lower level is the perfect place to escape with a book while others gather in the main space upstairs. (Nice view from downstairs too.) We were 8 people for half the week and did not feel crowded. (Shared the bathroom off the upstairs master bath. ) Would definitely return. ##### renee b. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victoria R. 29 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A lovely house in a great location We are a family group of 5 ( 1 dog) who get together every year in late May just to be together. We cook and walk and play games and laugh and this was the place to do all of that. The 4 bedrooms were comfortable and attractive. The shared bath on the first floor was adequate, and the en suite bath in the primary bedroom was pretty amazing; the shower is gorgeous! There is a nice game room and a porch on the ground level looking out on the lake, but we spent most of our time on the upper level where the well-equipped kitchen and living/dining area was. The views of the lake from both floors were spectacular.The lake access is perfect. It was too cold in late May to even consider swimming, but there were kayakers and boaters out when the weather was good. The lake looked clean, with a sandy bottom.The rooms all had individual controls for the electric baseboard heat, which suited us fine. Everyone got what she wanted. Both Lake Placid and Saranac Lake are a reasonable drive, and we spent time in both towns, just doing touristy things. We ate one night at the River Trail Beerworks in Saranac Lake. It's much more than a brewery, and the food is excellent. This was a great experience. Leo (the host) is very responsive to email queries, and, while we did our best to leave the premises neat and tidy, we were not required to clean. That's big! ![View from the deck on the upper level.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bd53f8d9-c8b4-4eda-b854-734545d12e81-1748528544932.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Game room.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f243b43e-868e-4dda-a25e-14f41b7773ea-1748528544359.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View of the waterfront, with fire pit.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2fb8a713-14be-4a78-9185-79a53bf96b9a-1748528544892.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Victoria R. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### lauren g. 10 Jul 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Fourth of July weekend This was a nice location (close to lake placid town) with a few minor problems. There was construction going on next door which was not disclosed prior to renting the property. The construction was unfortunately very disruptive to our stay. The lake is great and would have been very peaceful but there was loud banging and hammers next door. I would have liked to be given a break in some ways financially due to the undisclosed construction. I informed the owner and he said “that sucks.” So overall- I’d give this a 3.5/5 stars. There were also rusty nails sticking out of the benches outside. We have two little children and this was definitely unsafe. The location was great and lake was beautiful but a little overpriced for what we were dealing with. In my opinion disruptive construction (building a huge house next door) should be disclosed and if not you should be compensated accordingly for the inconvenience (even if it’s a small kickback). ##### lauren g.

Boathouse had everything. Bedrooms were not as clean as expected. Sheets didn’t seem to have been washed and smelled like people. The bedrooms were dusty and there were some dead insects on the floor when we arrived, but the bathrooms were very clean so the cleanliness was not consistent throughout. There was animal hair in some of the blankets which some people might be okay with but as someone with allergies, I would prefer that there not be. The outdoor/daybed furniture on the screened in porch was dirty so we didn’t sit on it. Ultimately, if it were cleaner, it would’ve been perfect. ##### Ariana P.

The home was spotless and was just as it was shown and described. The only regret is that it rained most of the time we were there and we could not use the fire pit. We did take in the wonderful view from the upstairs. There is so much to see and do, then, coming home to a private, quiet sanctuary was the best!

Kiwassa Lake is perfect for kayaking, swimming, paddle boarding or boating. Quiet neighborhood close to town. So many hiking options close by or take a short drive over to Lake Placid. Wish we could have stayed all summer! ##### Michael R.

Our chosen family of four best friends and our 3 sons combined made for a great relaxing, adventurous, fun filled time… our boys were on the paddle boards and kayaks all day, every day. Fishing, swimming and having a campfire almost every night.. the house and view were spectacular. What was advertised did not disappoint. Spacious enough for us to have time alone and come together when we wanted to. We were able to explore Saranac Lake and Whiteface Mountain in a lake Placid was a must see! All kinds of hiking options are close by if you want to take advantage..which we did. Would totally recommend LPL! ##### Cara S.

Paddling on the lake (we loved using the canoe, kayaks, and paddleboard during our stay!) and listening to the loons was perfect. The house itself is beautifully decorated and nicely appointed. ##### Jane R.

It’s tucked away on a beautiful, peaceful lake with a great view of the mountains. The village of Saranac Lake is a quick 5 minute drive where you can park the car and walk to numerous shops and restaurants - we especially liked Bitters and Bones. Lake Placid is about a 20 minute drive also with lots of fun shops and restaurants and, of course, lots of Olympic venues to explore. After exploring each afternoon, it was nice to come back to the house and enjoy the view. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the air hockey table - there was a daily tournament. The kitchen was stocked with all the essentials and an Aldi is close by if you want to pick up a few things for a meal “at home”. We’d love to come back in warmer weather so we could use all the water “toys” and enjoy some s’mores around the fire pit. ##### Andrea F.

There were gorgeous views of the mountain from the living room and the afternoon sun felt so good shining through the windows. We enjoyed cross country skiing and ice fishing right from the house. Looking forward to coming back again some day. ##### Kate B.

The lake is quite peaceful in September, and we really enjoyed the dark skies and the loon calls. The house was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. We are already talking about planning our next visit! ##### Melanie V.
