Waterfront vacation rentals in Essex County

Great location! The backyard was awesome! Clean and comfortable.

Chuck was very responsive! Great place, we liked it because it was a drivable distance to lake placid without feeling like you were in the middle of a busy town. Would definitely stay again!

The location is perfect with easy access to the Ausable river with brown trout fishing within 100 yards. Meg was friendly and responsive and made sure everything was smooth. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful Adirondack getaway!

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.

The river was swollen but still beautiful to see right on the backyard! It rained every day until we left but it was still a wonderful weekend. Enjoyed the information left at the BNB on things to do in the area. The bed was more comfortable than the one we have at home!

We had the incredible pleasure of staying at Elyse’s home in the days leading up to our wedding, and I can honestly say it was one of the best Airbnb experiences we’ve ever had. The house itself is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and full of charm. Every room has its own personality, and the views of Schroon Lake are simply breathtaking. Waking up to the morning mist and soft fog rolling over the water felt like something out of a dream. Whether we were sipping coffee on the cozy deck, relaxing by the fire, or enjoying dinner in the sunroom overlooking the lake, every moment was serene. Elyse and her husband were the most gracious hosts—thoughtful, kind, and genuinely warm. You can feel the care they’ve poured into this home and the joy they take in sharing it. We couldn’t recommend this place more to anyone looking for a restful escape or a meaningful stay in nature. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Whitney's loft provided a perfect getaway for my 30th birthday. It was super clean and inviting. She was resposive throughout the whole experience. The environment was perfect if you want a peaceful, yet adventurous stay. We made use of the provided canoe and paddled through the Oseetah Lake with our dogs, which is just a short walk on the property. This is our first time in the ADK area and we were not disappointed. We even took a day trip to Montreal.

We visited with two small children and it was a dream. The private access to the river is truly the most attractive part of this place, combined with the equipment in the premises that we were able to borrow, this let us have an amazing time. There’s kayaks, canoes, fire pit with firewood available, fishing rods, a card game. There’s lots to do, and on the night when we had clear skies, the stars were beautiful. Aside from that, the place is clean, inviting, the kitchen had all the essentials (I even baked there). And Mark and Keirsa were always friendly and responsive.

Where do I start...from before I arrived, up until my departure...Joanne was attentive in every way possible. All my questions were answered with an immediate response. The home was extraordinary. The effort Joanne has put in to making it just like home shows. With an abundance of whimsical touches. Up until the day I left, I would see a new thing. As if the enchanting home wasn't enough, the back patio is a place of serenity...with the sounds and view of the river extraordinary. I could go on and on, but I will just say, "it was the best vacation I have ever had". One word describes this Airbnb...AMAZING!!!🩷. I will return next year! Didn't want to leave!!! 😊 Thank you Joanne for your exemplary hospitality!

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.

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

The house and location were amazing. We had 10 people and there was more than enough room for all of us. We played ping pong and air hockey until our arms were sore!

Ideal place for our family. Couldn’t have asked for anything better. Judi was very accommodating and helpful. Everything was absolutely perfect. (We had ideal weather too!) Enjoyed the fire pit, hot tub, being able to gather the whole family at one table, and so much more. Would love to come back in the fall and winter!

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.

Kelly’s place was an absolute dream! The space is fully renovated and even still smells “new.” The views are incredible and the space feels so cozy with lots of privacy. The house has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Kelly was incredibly helpful and responsive to my many questions before check-in. We brought our 20’ boat and there was just enough room to maneuver. We didn’t end up even taking the boat out though because we enjoyed being at the house that much! We had so much fun fishing from shore, the catfish and bullhead kept us very busy, with a few surprise species mixed in as well. We barely heard the trains when they passed by and weren’t bothered by them at all. Mornings out by the water, sipping coffee, reading a book, while my boyfriend caught fish, then enjoying breakfast on the deck— it can’t be beat! This was a perfect little getaway to unplug from the rest of the world and to recharge with some peace and quiet accompanied by beautiful views! Can’t wait to return!

Absolutely beautiful weekend! Thank you for everything!

My family and I had an awesome time. Great location. Love the sauna. Will definitely come back.

The condo was great! We stayed for a ski weekend and enjoyed the beautiful view of mirror lake, access to the indoor pool and hot tub and easy walk to shops.

It's a beautiful location with plenty of things to do in the area. You do get your money's worth. It's also close to many shopping amenities for those who prefer not to travel by car to buy groceries or medicine. Overall, a great experience!

Nicest bnb we have stayed at in placid! We had the grounds to ourselves and enjoyed sitting by the lake the first night before it rained the rest of the weekend. The place was cozy and the fireplace was nice for the rainy days. I appreciated the snacks and drinks in the room too!

Condo matches the pictures, but the view is far better than the pictures. Very comfortable space and open floor plan. Kitchen was well stocked, we cooked in a couple nights and had everything we needed to prep meals. Having three full bathrooms was great (we had 4 adults and two kids). Easy walk to the middle of town and all the restaurants/shops, but far enough away that it didn’t feel busy. Coffee on the balcony was an amazing way to start the day. We’ve been going to lake placid for 20+ years and have stayed many places - this is one of the best views we’ve had while still being right in the village. Highly recommended.

Our friend group was looking for a place to stay close to the whiteface mountain and we got super lucky to find Jo’s house! Beautiful house, stylish & super cozy - we felt like at home right away! All this in addition to beautiful surroundings made our trip an unforgettable experience! Each bedroom had a private bathroom and a common bathroom on the first floor which was amazing for a group of 6 people. Showers deserve an additional mention - it was definitely a calming and relaxing experience! Jo is an amazing host. Communication was great, we were given a lot of recommendations about local “must-visit” places. The host is super responsive, kind and understanding! Overall, it was an unforgettable experience at Jo’s place and hopefully we can go there again in the future! we highly recommend it!!

We had a great stay and the location was peaceful and quiet. Access to both lake Placid and mirror lake was easy with paddle boards. It was an easy walk to town as well. The condo was spacious with more than enough space for our group of 7. The kitchen cabinets and appliances as well as bathrooms are dated but all in perfect working order. We would definitely book with Diane in the future.

We enjoyed a great weekend here during our visit to Lake Placid. The condo was clean, well provisioned, comfortable, and as described. We particularly enjoyed the quaint and comfortable Adirondack themed furnishings! We would consider staying here again when we are in the area! Thank you!
