Vacation rentals with a kayak in Essex County

Very good hosts. Nice spot on the river, I only wish our work project would have been a month later so we could have enjoyed the full potential. The house was well provisioned with everything we needed. Nice vibes in the sun room overlooking the river (even if it was spent doing reports after a long day).

Friends and I stayed at Julius’ place for the Blackfly Bike Race, it was conveniently located for the race and well suited for a weekend with friends. Nice amenities and beautiful views as well.

Lovely, clean place for a relaxing stay. Super comfy beds and plenty of amenities. We hope to stay there again some time!

Alan was a great host and was extremely accommodating! we will be back for sure! maybe in the summer next time!

Our first time at Lynda's home in the woods. Place was exactly how described! Was very cozy and we had everything we needed for our stay. Great location, very private and close to skiing and town. We enjoyed to sauna every day. We got to relax and really enjoy ourselves. Lynda was very quickly to respond and was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely plan to go back, we loved it!

I was very happy with the location and how easy it was for me to bring my kids on the lake and learn to fish. Beautiful views and a pleasant place to stay.

We enjoyed the backyard and kayaks immensely! Great yard for kids and pup to play in. Close to White Face, Lake Placid, and Ausable Chasm. Beds were very comfortable and so many thoughtful amenities. Jennifer was in contact with us to make the rental perfect! We hope to go back in the fall or winter in the future.

Great communication, flexibility, and responsiveness. Had a small plumbing issue and was resolved within an hour. The house was as described.

This cozy, warm, inviting cabin on Rainbow Lake was the perfect vacation place for us - the only sounds we heard all week were loon calls, bird songs, and the cool clean water lapping against the dock. The cabin is nestled in a quiet cove and has the most lovely screened in porch - perfect place to read and sip my morning tea. The dock has a safe kayak launch which was most helpful in keeping us dry at the start and end of each long daily paddle. Kayaks are provided, so no need to bring your own - a nice plus so we didn't have to lug our boats around for a change! Everything about the cabin and the property is exactly how it is shown and described on the page here. While it is tucked in and feels far away - Saranac Lake is 15 minutes away for all your needs. We are hoping to make it an annual vacation destination! And if we are really lucky, perhaps twice a year! Thanks guys, for The Most blissful vacation we've ever experienced. Your place is paradise!

This charming pet friendly house was the perfect getaway. The house was clean, cozy and comfortable. Had everything we needed. Traffic is minimal on the road helping enhance the atmosphere of solitude. The view from the house is incredible. We kayaked Beaver Pond right from the dock, which is literally steps from the back door. Would definitely go again.

Great place to get away with beautiful views. Exactly what we were looking for

The house was perfect. The dock was a great perk. The neighbors were also very sweet!! Definitely recommend to anyone considering staying here!!!

My partner and I had a fantastic stay at the Book House. It’s a funky, clean, quiet, and cozy (very!) little cottage. We loved having morning coffee on the porch with a gorgeous view of the lake, kayaking with Canadian geese, being surrounded by books and warming our feet by the gas stove, exploring the beautiful countryside, and hiking up Snake Mountain. And we really enjoyed our host, Laurel, who stays next door. She was super friendly, easy to communicate with, and was available if we needed her but also gave us plenty of privacy. The Book House is about a 15-20 mins drive to Middlebury (also great to explore), so you’ll want to stock up on provisions. However, nearby Pratt’s Country Store has all the basics you need and once you’re settled in you may not want to leave - we didn’t! Thanks again Laurel for sharing your special place.

Ardie and Mike made us feel right at home, and answered all of our questions right away! The cottage was very convenient with beautiful views and easy access to the lake and shore. It had more than enough beds and everything we needed to enjoy our stay there comfortably. We also had a great time playing with the two dogs, Misha and Sajen! Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful and private cottage in rural Vermont that is still around 25-30 minutes drive away from Middlebury. Thanks Ardie!

I loved this lake house. It is a very efficient use of space and very thought out. It was quieter than expected, being on the main road. The high speed Internet was a super plus for my husband and I simultaneously working with data heavy video sessions and database work. I know high speed Internet in the ADK can be spotty.

We enjoyed our stay, especially the special touches around the guest house (comfortable bedding and claw bathtub) as well as its gorgeous view. Jeff made sure we had everything we needed for a weekend away, clear instructions and local recommendations.

Great place! This home is cozy and very nice in a lovely setting. The gazebo and deck are fantastic, and the hot tub was a hit. Great amenities! The home itself was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Gabriel had great communication and was very accommodating to our family. The basement made for the perfect retreat for the kiddos, complete with a train table. Excellent stay and hospitality all around! Thank you!

Amazing spot. Probably the coolest Airbnb i've ever stayed in. Really nice cozy cabin. Perfect spot very close to downtown, but far away enough to feel like you are in nature and not be bothered by anyone else. I'd highly recommend the spot to anyone.

This lakeside cabin was an amazing getaway from the busy life that we live. We spent our early morning having coffee on the dock while we watched our dog splash around and swim endlessly. The cabin was both far away from busy streets but also close enough to walk to shops and the nearby town. The cabin itself was very clean and provided a nice quiet place to relax after a long day of outdoor activity. We enjoyed using the kayaks provided as well as the fire-pit. We were fortunate to meet Walter who was kind of enough to give us a boat tour and a talk to us about life in the Adirondacks. We had a great time visiting and will not hesitate to book another stay should we venture off to the Adirondacks again.

We had a wonderful time at 3 Birches. I hope to return! We enjoyed so many local hikes, as well as walking on the nearby trail and kayaking. The house was so comfortable, and the neighborhood quiet except for the birds. Thanks!

This place was so beautiful! We loved kayaking. It had everything we needed and more - a sharp knife in an airbnb is something we really appreciate!

This was our fourth stay at Camp Casey and it’s always a joy to visit! Chad is a great host, the property is lovely, and the cabin is cozy and clean.

Fabulous three night stay- kayaking, fishing, walking and enjoying camp life. Great location on a beautiful lake. Well equipped kitchen and we ate all our meals in house. Great boathouse.

The extra touches made me feel like i was staying with a longtime close family relative. Amazing location and all the extra touches to make us feel like the place was ours.
