Our Family Summer Vacation
We really enjoyed our week at Camp Pinecone. The location is ideal for enjoying the Adirondacks - Tupper Lake, Saranac lake, and Lake Placid are all fairly close. Fish Creek Pond offers a quiet setting with access to other remote Ponds via Canoe or Kayak as well as Upper Saranac Lake (via the narrow channel) with a larger boat. Upper Saranac Lake was truly enjoyable - warm water and lots of it, with a very remote feeling. The cottage is also close to some very nice (yet challenging) hikes of some of the 46 peaks. The cabin itself offered lots of amenities - comfortable beds, a dock, and a great fire pit - which we really enjoyed during the evenings as the sun was setting and into the evening. It was a bit warm inside (especially during the sun setting hours), but there were ceiling fans and/or box fans in each room, which helped with that. The kitchen is a bit tiny, but workable and nicely outfitted. We vacation annually with our adult children and they all said that this was probably their favorite cottage. We made lots of memories! Thank you for sharing your family vacation home with us!

Perfect location for an Adirondack getaway
Our family of six spent a week enjoying this wonderful vacation rental perfectly located near Upper Saranac Lake. We spent the days exploring the surrounding towns and hiking trails, including the VIC at Paul Smith’s College which we highly recommend. After that we swam and fished off the dock, and later enjoyed the beautiful sunsets from the front deck before coming together for a campfire at the end of the day. The fire pit was amazing and really became the center of our family time. It was an added bonus that the neighbors next door were welcoming and kind. We loved spending time with them as well. We highly recommend this property and can’t wait to come back again!

Saranac Lake Stay
Maureen was wonderful to deal with. The cabin / cottage was just as pictured. The neighbors were so friendly and helpful. We had a Fantastic view of the lake!!!! The hummingbirds were flying around the deck constantly. The chipmunk came to visit but we did not feed him/her. The canoes were put to good use and we loved the firepit and the sunsets from the dock were breathtaking. We had a relaxing vacation with our family!!!!!

Excellent vacation getaway!!!
Our families had a excellent vacation at Camp Pinecone!!! The house was everything just as it was described. It was the perfect size for our families and included everything we could possibly need. The dock, swimming area and canoes were so delightful!!! It was a perfect place for children and adults to go swimming with beautiful, shallow and sandy bottom. We also really really enjoyed the big fire pit and had a great fire many nights. The area is just beautiful and we highly recommend vacationing at Camp Pinecone!!!

Great location but wouldn’t return to property
The location of this camp is great: close to Tupper, Indian Mountain, Blue Mountain Lake, and Saranac. The sunsets over Fish Creek Pond were magnificent. The outdoor fire pit and indoor gas fireplace were great amenities. However, I wouldn’t return because the house was not clean, especially the showers.

Great spot!
We had a wonderful time staying at this property. It was a great location with easy water access. There is a sandy entrance for kids to comfortably play around the dock, though definitely wear water shoes. The fire pit was fantastic with plenty of stocked wood. A really nice new grill (as of summer 2020) and very comfortable bedrooms to top it off. A great spot!

I left Camp Pinecone a week and a half ago and I'm still depressed. I wish it weren't 6 hours away. The house is beautiful, comfortable, lived in, kitchen has everything you need to cook meals for a large group. I'm the avid cook of our group of 8 friends who went up, so I brought up a big box of my own cooking equipment and it was largely unnecessary. Could have gotten away with just bringing up a good chef's knife and a large cutting board and leaving everything else at home. Plenty of parking out front. The backyard is a dream. That's gotta be the best fire pit area I've ever encountered, with absolutely no shortage of wood. The neighbor on the left side, Bill was so friendly. When he saw us building our first fire of the week he came over with some kindling for us and chatted for a bit about the area. There was a comet coming by, I wanna say Neowise, that he gave us a heads up about and even brought over a pair of binoculars that night so we could see it even better from the dock. Speaking of the dock, that dock is like the highlight of the whole place for me. Spent every morning there drinking my coffee, every night there watching the sun set. There was even a time we were able to watch a storm roll in over us like a curtain of rain over the lake. We got ice cream at Donelley's almost every day, went hiking at Panther Mt. (A short, quick but very steep hike 15 minutes up the road) and rented a motor boat from Hickocks just across the lake. We got a lower HP engine cause it was the last one so they knocked 20 bucks a day off the price. For reference it took us about 40 minutes to get from the house to Green Island/ Tommy's Rock in Upper Saranac Lake proper with 3 adults in the boat. Anyway, I could go on and on but we loved it, we'd definitely come back again. It's hard to leave a place like that.

Excellent location and property.
This property was perfect. It had everything we could have asked for. Room for all of us (8 adults) to be comfortable. Fire pit was awesome. Location was perfect for our family vacation. We could fish off the dock, take out the canoe’s, swim across the pond or relax on the hammocks. The kitchen was fully stocked and towels- both bath and beach- were provided. Would definitely go back here again.

Camp Pinecone, July 2019
Our stay at Camp Pinecone was near ideal. My wife and I, our two adult children and spouses, and one grandchild, were easily accommodated at the house. The house itself lacked nothing that we needed or wanted., and was very comfortable. We spent a lot of time on the dock, swimming, having dinner, just hanging out, and as an adequate docking place for our 19 ft power boat. Sunsets were beautiful from that location looking out over Fish Creek Pond. There are plenty of places to canoe right from the dock, as Fish Creek Pond ties into several other ponds and creeks.. There is a shallow but adequate channel that connects Fish Creek to the far larger Upper Saranac Lake for some "serious" tubing, skiing, etc.. Plenty of hiking in the general area; we prefer the Lake Placid area hiking trails, about 50 minutes away. If you're looking for a clean, relatively modern house on the water to stay at, I can easily recommend this. We hope to turn this into an annual trip to gather the whole family together. It's difficult to find fault; the worse I can do is note that despite the fact that there's a terrific fire pit in the back yard and plenty of wood, there was no ax to split large hunks of wood, and we had to borrow one from the neighbors.. Lastly,if anyone is planing on bringing a boat, I do not recommend using the association's launch.for anything over perhaps 12 ft long.. There's 2 issues; first the area is very hilly and the road is narrow, and getting the boat to the launch was somewhat difficult. Secondly, the lake bed at the launch is very uneven and the bed slopes considerably from one side o the other, making it difficult to load the boat back onto the trailer. This is NOT the fault of Camp Pinecone, but I just want to make boaters aware of the difficulty. In the future, I would use the launch on the other side of the pond at Hickock's Boat Livery and drive the boat over to Camp Pinecone from there. All in all, a very enjoyable experince

Can’t wait to return to Camp Pinecone
Your search should stop right here. Everything about this property was comfortable & seamless, from the amenities provided to communicating with the owner. It was more than enough space for our group of 6 adults + 1 child. The crib was a pleasant surprise! We loved the outdoor space even more than the inside if that’s possible! I look forward to staying here again next summer & logging more time in the Adirondack chairs!

Excellent Vacation home
We have stayed at many vacation homes in the Adirondacks and this one was the best. The house is clean and well organized with an excellent deck and boat dock. The location is great with access to Upper Saranac Lake for boaters and Follensby Clear Pond for canoes and kayaks. Everything was provided including linens and towels and everything is as advertised. The sunsets are awesome and the firepit is one of the best I have ever seen. The owners were very helpful and even left us a goody bag to make S'mores with. Highly recommended. If you go take time to sit on the dock and watch the sunset and listen to the loons it will restore your spirit.
