7.3mi from Lake Placid · 2 sites
This off-the-grid tiny house is nestled on a 23 acre parcel at the end of a quarter-mile dirt road. The property itself is secluded but is less than 2 miles from the heart of Saranac Lake's downtown. This property is bordered by the Saranac River, the backside of Baker Mountain and State Forest. The only other building on the property is our timberframe which we may or may not be at during the time of your visit. The property does have private trails up to the cliffs on the backside of Baker mtn however, the Saranac River is down a steep embankment so it does not make for a good place to launch a boat (several public boat launches nearby).
The Mt Baker tiny house is a great basecamp for hiking the Saranac Lake 6-ers, paddling/boating along the Saranac Chain of lakes or Saranac River, Mountain Biking at Dewey, Pisgah or other nearby BETA trails.
IMPORTANT DETAILS:
This tiny cabin is completely off the grid: no electricity, heat or cooling.
Queen sized bed - we provide the linens.
The driveway is narrow - so nothing in tow.
Drinking water is provided via jug and dispenser.
There is a brand new outhouse (no flushable toilet)
We have a designated spot for campfires (smores are a must)
There is an older propane grill outside for guest use

This property is part of an original hundred acre woods
in the Adirondack Park overlooking Lincoln Pond. My grandfather moved an old ice house under the property in 1943 and built the existing camp in 1949. Her family lives in Florida and has continued to maintain and improve the old camp for the last 40 years. After having done selective logging two years ago we discovered a spot in the back of the property overlooking the pond and with the removal of a couple of trees have a beautiful view of Lincoln Pond. The deck with the Yurt is the beginning of an eventual cabin. I live in the main house from late May until late October and decided to share it with like minded nature loving folks. It’s a 1/2 mile hike from the parking lot with total privacy.Learn more about this land:Located on top of a hill on a 100 acre wildlife sanctuary overlooking Lincoln Pond and the Adirondack High Peaks. Private Yurt on wooden deck with solar shower and water pumped up from nearby creek. Access from parking area over old logging road by SUV or ATV or a 12 minute hike from the parking area. 15 minute drive to numerous Adirondack hiking trails. Enjoy starry nights with a Biolite Bonfire. Two twin air beds and one king air bed. Bring your sleeping bags. Glamping at its best!

The site looked great but unfortunately after we arrived I fell ill from the lunch I had earlier and we had to find an alternative accommodation. Michael was a great host that met us at the site shortly after we arrived. Very nice host and wish we could have enjoyed the little creek that ran along the sites.

An amazing site! A lot of beautiful fall foliage, plenty of space, dedicated fire ring & bench, and the host being so amazing and waiting to guide me to my spot because my Google Maps was tricking me and I showed up after dark and was lost. Thank you! I woke up to chirping birds and a serene beautiful view.

Host was super helpful. I had a camper attached to my truck but couldn’t get to the spot and gave the owner a text/call. Responded very quickly and was super helpful and told me I could park in any area I was able. Was right along the river so it sounded nice. Hiked McKenzie Mountain and it was very close to where I needed to start my trail, would definitely come back here with a regular tent now that I am familiar with the area

Great find! We loved this enchanted cozy little cabin. The quiet setting and the accommodations were perfect for us. The rain barrel water was fun and we learned how much we could do with minimal water. A great learning lesson. The wood stove was wonderful and we had a great time on Jones Pond with the canoe. Overall, a great find!

Directions were clear and the site was clean and by the river. There is a main road across the river but that didn’t bother us. We camped here one night on our way out to Acadia. It’s a great spot if you want to visit Lake Placid too, an easy drive.
