The furthest bedroom was not level with the rest of the house. Which made me feel dizzy and sick to my stomach. So my husband and I had to sleep in the middle room on the bunk bed. Also, in order to get to the bathroom you have to walk through the middle room. On the positive side, the rest of the place was very nice and clean. Location is great. Just wish that the master bedroom was level with the rest of the place, and the description was more clear on the location of the bathroom.

Overall I like my stay, especially considering its location. All nice restaurants are within walking distance, and it’s close to all fancy trails and lakes in ADK. Basically the best spot for staying imo.However, I do want to mention a few issues that I hope the host can improve in the future, especially its cleanness. 1. The inner shower curtain might need to be replaced, as there are a few moldy marks building up on it.2. The fridge needs some cleaning. 3. The toilet was not fully cleaned. There were residues in it when I arrived.4. The side door’s lock bolt cannot fully engage, especially when you lock the door from outside by pressing #. It raises the beep alarm that you need to manually mute every time.

Older property with recent remodel. Had everything we needed. Close to shops, breweries and restaurants. Pricing was very reasonable versus the 400 a night hotel rental in town. Great rail trail biking nearby.

Very good but a few issues

The apartment is pretty much as listed. It would definitely not work for two couples as you would need to go through the bunk bed room to get to the bathroom. It was very well supplied, was super clean, was in a perfect location, and the owner was great to work with. It's across the street from the Hotel Saranac and only two blocks from the bike trail. Unfortunately, this makes it pretty noisy with trucks struggling up the hill. Our biggest problem was the queen bed. It was so lumpy on one side that one of us had to take a bunk bed.

ADK Adventure

Great Place, such a handy location. Loved having the library 2 doors down for the ADK Research Room. Lots of trails to hike, and the best part of this town, is the people. All were so friendly, helpful, and wonderful sense of humor all over the place. Come and visit to have this small hometown experience. VJC

Wasn't expecting "train style" (go through one bedroom to get to the next) bedrooms, but they were accurately described on the site and worked out fine. Family enjoyed our time together. Thank you for your hospitality.
