The location of the resort is stunning. The facilities were excellent : lots of boats, life jackets and sand toys. The staff worked hard to accommodate us and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay.

This is our new favorite restaurant in Saranac Lake. Have been three times and have always been satisfied with the food, service and atmosphere. I highly recommend the Sunset Bistro for lunch or dinner. Time your reservation for the evening sunset. You won’t be disappointed.

The area itself and the lake are very beautiful. We really enjoyed kayaking and canoeing.
However, as other reviews have noted, there are definitely some customer service issues. The main page on the website incorrectly claims that all of the rooms are air conditioned. When we arrived, it was an 85° day, and there was only one working fan in the entire three bedroom cabin. I texted and called the office and the after hours line, but never heard back. My husband ended up going out and spending $80 on two fans. The next day I called again several times before I reached someone, and they to put in a window unit for air-conditioning quickly, but it took a lot of work to get ahold of someone.
The lake is not really swimmable. My children were able to wade in up to their knees, but after that it was filled with thick black seaweed that came all the way to the surface. We ended up going offsite in order to swim.
Many of the amenities on the website were not available. In addition to the air conditioning issue, there were no paddle boards, which were advertised. The website also advertises yoga on the beach, but when I asked the office about it, the woman said she had never heard of it.
This is technically a private lake, but on our last day a group of about 60 middle schoolers arrived on a field trip. Because of the size of the beach and limited amenities, we were unable to use the beach at all.

We had dinner there this week. The waitress spent our entire time chatting with friends and the next table. She did not tell us or the adjacent table any of the specials which we only learned of when we heard a waiter tell another table AFTER we had ordered. She lied and claimed she had given us the specials. The steak was ordered medium well but was served rare. When “ refired” it came back rare again!
