Village Nook,1 BR Apt.-on the rail trail, easy walk downtown.

The Village Nook is a comfortable one bedroom, ground level, garden apartment, with a private entrance. It's perfect for one or two people on an Adirondack get-away or business trip. Take a seven minute stroll down Broadway or on the Adirondack Rail Trail behind our house to enjoy the village of Saranac Lake for dining, shopping, galleries, and events.

Staying at The Village Nook you have the unique opportunity for an especially relaxing respite. Your host Mary, a Yoga Therapist, operates her private yoga studio upstairs - Inner Quest Yoga. Guests can make appointments for yoga therapy, private yoga or qigong classes, Reiki sessions and meditation. Check her website for more information or contact Mary directly.

You'll find a guidebook with the hosts recommendations for dining and outings as well as brochures and maps for area attractions, trails, and waterways.

Perfect Adirondacks stay
We had a great time staying at the nook. Kevin and Mary were gracious hosts, had plenty of information about things to do nearby, and checked in with us occasionally without being overbearing. The apartment is nicely furnished and equipped with everything you need. It was cozy and comfortable. Not sure we'll ever get to this part of the US again, but if so I would gladly stay here a second time.

IMMACULATE, LARGE APARTMENT
Mary and Kevin were wonderful hosts who were there when I needed help with the TV, while providing me a peaceful, quiet place to relax. The apartment was spacious and meticulously kept. I was looking for a place near the heart of town and not in the woods. This apartment was ideal!

Great space and location in Saranac
Everything was great for our weeklong hiking and paddling vacation. The location is central for beautiful hikes for all abilities and fantastic lakes, ponds and rivers. The town is walking distance to get to great places for breakfast, dinners and pub food. The house is very clean and well equipped, with much more than we ever use. Mary and Kevin are great hosts and are very helpful, even with ideas for hiking and paddling trips. Great time in the Adirondacks and a great place to stay for the week.

What a cozy, lovely place to stay!
The Nook is a real gem in Saranac Lake! My wife & I could have just stayed inside the entire time, it's that cozy! Mary & Kevin are the most friendly, hospitable hosts, ready to answer any questions, give recommendations of things to do, places to eat. We were more than thrilled to stay there, and we will be back!!

My understanding is that Mary and Kevin are renovating and will only have 1 unit going forward, so I can't usefully comment on that. But given their attentiveness, graciousness and conviviality, I'm sure it will be just fine! :-)

Million Dollar Views!
My wife and I loved the condo! Our favorite parts were the views and watching the sun melt into the gulf every night! It was everything that was advertised in the listing and more. The condo is a nice size, quiet, very nice furniture and an awesome king size bed in the master. We also liked that you could walk to restaurants nearby. The Marriott Resort had several nice options, and the Bimini Bait Shack was a great place to grab a beer and a burger. Easy access by car to Sanibel, Captiva, Ft. Myers and Cape Coral.

Nice Getaway!
The getaway was very clean and the host was very helpful. Lake Saranac has lots of great places to eat and drink and is very close to Lake Placid. The Olympic Skyride was fun and there was great shopping in downtown Lake Placid. We hit up some antique shops and breweries as well. The location was perfect for a weekend getaway.

Perfect Nook for the Weekend!
Our experience at the Nook and Inner Quest Yoga and Wellness Center was awesome! It was a perfect spot to complete our first 6er at St Regis and then a recovery day of Yoga and meditation. Mary was awesome and she guided us through a session that was very well done and left us feeling whole. Highly recommended! We will be returning for many years to come!
