Vacation rentals with lake access in Essex County

beautiful place right on the river! Lake Champlain and the ferry are a 5-10 minute drive, and you are able to bring your pup with!

We had a family vacation and enjoyed our stay at the house. The house is spacious and clean. The driveway is steep. We enjoyed the screened porches overlooking the lake.....beautiful sunsets. There is a small private and shallow water area between the dock and the boathouse. The grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed playing in the area.

We had a great time over a holiday weekend! The house was close to a few places to get necessities and a few places to eat. It was within a half hour to a few ski areas also, which was the main plan of our trip. The house was beautiful and clean. Thr sauna and hot tub were great features of the home. We got a good amount of snow while there and Julian was quick to keep us updated on having the driveway plowed. The area is beautiful wotha lake view. The house had plenty of space and bathrooms for our two families. Everything was clean and in goof shape when we arrived.

Our group has stayed at Todd & Amy's multiple times for our hiking trips and always have been happy with the property as well as the responsiveness of the hosts.

It is my pleasure to recommend Brad's house in Lake Placid / Saranac. I travel there every year with a group of friends for hiking and skiing, and this was the perfect spot for us to stay. The house was easy to find and more than large enough to fit us all. Brad's instructions were very clear and he was responsive to all messages I sent over the course of the stay.

We had a fantastic stay at Kelly's lake house. The house was newly renovated and clean. The kitchen had all the essentials to make it easy to cook meals. We especially enjoyed eating our farm fresh eggs from Nadeau's Farmers Market outside on the deck to start the day. Kelly gave specific directions to find the house. The place to cross the railroad tracks can be hard to locate in the dark. Paddling on the lake was a highlight. It was great to launch right from the property. Kelly's place is located 30-40 minutes away from some cute towns to shop or grab a yummy meal. We were able to visit Essex-NY, Middlebury-VT, and Vergennes-VT. We would gladly stay here again.

18 Lake vacation house is a true gem with a breathtakingly beautiful view that inspires the soul! Its million-dollar view from the balcony is awe-inspiring from sunrise to sunset, and even on cloudy days. The house is immaculately clean and well-organized, spacious enough to comfortably accommodate our family of six. Everything we needed during our stay was thoughtfully provided. The convenience of having access to the washing machine and dryer was a wonderful bonus. The neighborhood is a serene oasis, peaceful and quiet, with friendly neighbors who made us feel welcome. The hosts respond promptly to our texts and went above and beyond by notifying us when my husband forgot his jacket and offering to ship it to us. We fell deeply in love with this enchanting place and are already looking forward to returning in the summer! Thank you, Marco and Nicole, for sharing your incredible home and making our vacation unforgettable!

This tiny cottage is definitely a hidden gem in the Adirondacks ! Was well suited with just enough space for our group for our 2025 ice fishing adventure. Definitely well worth the value !

Amazing location and views. Walkable to all of downtown and the space was beautifully renovated and kept. Would definitely stay here again.

Cannot recommend Audrey or her space highly enough. It was beautiful, private, spacious, with so many amenities. She was so gracious to stock the fridge with a few items since we were getting in late. It was overall a wonderful and comfortable stay in a beautiful location.

My wife and I had a great time in Schroon Lake and the apartment was in a perfect location to enjoy everything the town had to offer… it was especially nice having a fire and looking out at the lake. The beds were very comfortable and the place was super clean…. We would definitely go back again.

Meachele is a wonderful hostess and her place is cozy comfortable clean and exactly right for our family. We come up to Lake Placid for a hockey tournament and can’t imagine staying anywhere else. The place and her hospitality are more than you can ask for and we are so grateful that she opens her Airbnb to us.

We loved staying at Porcupine cabin and look forward to renting again in the future. The host was so nice and communicative during our stay - she even left snowshoes for us to use! We will be inquiring about the attached house to stay with our whole family, but the little cabin was perfect for a weekend getaway from the busyness of life. The cabin had everything we needed and was exactly as described. It was so cozy and we even had snow while we were there, which was exciting for us since the area we come from didn’t really have snow this year. This was our first time renting an Airbnb and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. ☺️

This apartment was exactly what we needed while in town for a hockey tournament. Close to the rink, shops, great restaurants and activities! It was very clean and tidy and having a washer and dryer available was huge for us. MarieLine was very responsive and accommodating for all of our needs. Whiteface Mountain was a beautiful 14 minute drive away, and other than that adventure we didn’t need our car at all, it’s a wonderful walkable community! Highly recommend grabbing breakfast or lunch at Origin Coffee!

This lakeside gem was the setting for one of the most restful and beautiful stays we’ve ever had with Airbnb. I loved sitting every morning on their porch to take in the first bit of morning light, and every suggestion made by our host was better than the last. I’ve visited Vermont several times, but I was blown away by all of the hidden treasure suggested by our host - everything from thrift shops to the best cafes. My two kids had a blast here as well. I would highly recommend for couples, families, or friend groups looking to have fun together.

not sure where to start it was all so fantastic ! just great 👍 first just the best lake views ever & such a comfy bed & super cozy bedding making for such a peaceful sleep & total relaxation all around ! I just love that it’s got its own beach area right outside and you can also walk to town too - I had a great meal in town and it was so easy to walk there & back Also the host was so easy to communicate with and check in could not have been any easier all around a total yes!!!! perfect!

This cabin at Rainbow Lake was the perfect place for the quiet retreat my adult son and I needed. Cozy living room with new wood floors; small but perfectly functional and well-stocked kitchen; comfortable beds and pillows; updated bathroom and easy-to-use shower; hot water was very responsive; washing machine/dryer are much more modern than what I have at home (the manual was easy to find!) Our favorite spots were the dining table by the picture window overlooking the lake, and the Adirondack chairs on the dock at lakeside. The cabin is in a secluded cove, and the water was as smooth as glass most of the time. We even saw a loon several times, even though it was late October! There was just a little road noise during "going to/from work" times (can't call it "rush hour"); the rest of the time, just wonderful silence and the whisperings of the pine trees. We didn't use the kayaks, fire pit, or barbecue. Ten-minute drive into Saranac Lake for groceries, etc. We'd love to come back!

It is our second time there. It is perfect location to do our door winter activity. She has a new mattress that is very good. Would stay there again

The setting is beautiful, great views from the house and deck. Lovely rustic cabin. Very clean and Jodi is extremely responsive.

Mary Lou’s place was absolutely phenomenal. I came in the middle of October, and it was peak cozy, fall vibes! The cabin next to the docks in the foliage felt like I was in a painting. I absolutely would love to come back and just cozy up under a blanket next to the fire place. Highly recommend staying in this gem of a place if you have the opportunity.

Convenient to our hunting spot, the accomodations were closer and far more comfortable than where we have stayed in the past. Ardie very accommodating, and helpful during our stay. Two of us will be returning in two weeks and hopefully again next year.

The pictures of this listing just do not do it justice. The house is truly beautiful inside and out and the view is AMAZING. My husband and I just celebrated our honeymoon here and we enjoyed every second of it. It was cozy and relaxing which is exactly what we needed after a hectic past couple of weeks! Thank you Nico for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Our stay was pure bliss. Caleb and Eleri are amazing and the cottage is simply perfect. The location is beautiful and hard to beat, the space is carefully appointed and very comfortable, with generous amenities. Congrats to the hosts for building such an amazing place. We can't wait to see them develop their different endeavours further.

the pictures absolutely do not do it justice we were looking out at a beautiful painting from every one of the windows it was more quiet than any other Airbnb we've ever been at truly looking forward to coming back again Adam was a great communicator and cared about everything gave us great advice on where and when to go and was completely flexible have no words to describe how beautiful our stay was it was a great value
