Monthly Rentals in Gabriels

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!

We can’t say enough good things about this stay! Beautiful views, quiet, private, peaceful. Leo and his wife are so kind and responsive. The tower itself was a work of art, and the stay was relaxing. Great distance from Saranac and Placid if you want to go into town for a short visit or hike, but really just a perfect place to hide away for a couple’s retreat as well.

We’ve stayed here several times and always had a wonderful experience. I wish there were more of these units so that we could rent more often! :)

Our stay at River Ranch was exactly as advertised and matched perfectly to what we were looking for. Bernadette is a great host! She is knowledgeable about the area and was able to provide us with helpful recommendations during our stay. The super cute animals were a plus! If in the area, we’ll be back again!
