Once a year my husband and I invite our adult children and their families to vacation with us. This year we chose the Adirondacks because none of us had ever spent much time there. I am so thankful I found Camp Saranac and that it was available for our group of 14. Six children ages 12,10, 7,7,7, and 4 had a fabulous time in and on the water, playing in the field behind the garage, and playing Foosball in the garage. I can't imagine a better place for an extended family gathering. There was construction going on next door, but they weren't working in the evening when we were enjoying the quiet of the lake, so it wasn't a negative impact. The house is stunning with lots of places for adults to gather (the screened porch was especially popular). Plenty of life vests for all sizes, paddleboards, kayaks, canoe, and small boat were all put to good use. I don't know about the rest of Upper Saranac Lake, but this end had minimal boat traffic. Only one occasional jet ski and motor boat, which was perfect for our beginner paddle boarders. Grocery runs were about 15 minutes away, but the drive is easy and scenic. Sheri was a great host. Very responsive with a "come enjoy our home" welcome, We were all sorry to see this vacation come to an end! Highly recommend.
