Great for young and fit

It never occurred to me to ask if a room has air conditioning and tv. Other than that it was a lovely stay. Very clean and organized. The Rail Trail is super for younger travelers. We are in our 70s and 80s

Hideaway in Saranac

This is a great place -- clean and well-maintained. Owners are very thorough and helpful. Renters should be aware that it's a bedroom in a building that serves as a permanent residence for others, although it's completely independent thereof, with its own entrance. It's like a B&B-type of arrangement. We thoroughly enjoyed it and it was an excellent location for walking to restaurants. Very nice place.

Although only a room and a bath, the apartment/ efficiency was clean and provided all I needed. I was impressed with how Mary organized all the necessities in a small place. Mary's communication is top-notch. I will rent again.

Clean, convenient to town, Very minimal kitchen

Check in and communication were very good. Place was very clean and instructions were left on nice note cards for house particulars. Murphy bed was comfy and there were plenty of blankets. There is no TV and no table for eating or playing games. Microwave is on the floor. If you’re plan on eating your meals out, and bringing your own entertainment

Noise issues

The room was great, very clean, the hosts were kind and available. The problem was that the walls are paper thin, and the room is just off of their residence and kitchen. At 4 AM, one of the hosts was up and making breakfast, so we were woken up and couldn’t get back to sleep for a while. Then when we did get back to sleep, it happened again some time later. Unfortunately, this was very unpleasant and not having slept well affected our entire next day. So if you’re particularly sensitive to noise, just be aware.
