Beachfront holiday rentals in Essex County

My wife and I just spent one of the more enjoyable weeks in our long history of visits to the Adirondacks. Jerry and Linda’s log cabin on Middle Saranac Lake is, quite simply, a treasure. Awesome location right on shoreline. Very nice man (Dan) motored us across the lake. Rustic but very comfortable. Spectacular views. Great kitchen. Comfortable bedding. Propane lighting throughout. Weber grill on porch. Two kayaks and one canoe included. Aluminum boat (also included) with electric start Honda was perfect. Lots of tiny islands nearby. Hot (very!) shower, flush toilet. Swimming right from dock. Sandy beach close by. Sunsets, sunrises, total peace and serenity. Just what we were hoping for. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. You will too! David and Debbie B

Very nice place for a good rest with the sound of the waves of the lake, recommended

I have been coming up to the area since I was young, but it was my wife’s first trip to the Adirondacks. I wanted to show my wife all of the special places my dad took me when i was little. I managed to show her some of the other spots before we checked in, and I’m glad I did, because once we arrived at the air bnb, we were home. It took little time to realize that we were spending the entire trip on the lake and at the camp. To try to put it in perspective, we woke up each morning while it was still dark to make sure we could watch the sun rise above the lake each morning (and get some prime fishing time in). The cabin itself is well maintained, and very charming. Ona was very responsive and an excellent host. Highly recommend!

My wife and I had a wonderful time glamping at Jacob's tent on the lake. Jacob was very proactive and responsive to issues - the original tent we booked flooded due to the recent storms and Jacob put us up in another one of his properties which was nicer than what we had originally planned for. The tent was spacious, clean, and well-kept. It stood up to a variety of different weather including heavy rain and wind but was cozy and safe to stay in. The lake is beautiful and there were kayaks and canoes available for us to use. Pretty much everything except food and firewood was supplied which made the trip much easier for us. He sent us a list of local recommendations which we found helpful and fun. I would definitely go again!

We've had a wonderful stay at the cottage on the lake. From the moment you arrive, you find the peace and serenity you came for. The stairs to the water are a short walk to views and daily sunsets. The cottage is well stocked and cozy for winter nights. Cell service and wifi keep you connected. Pratt's General Store is well-stocked and a five minute ride, and Middlebury is only 20 minutes away. Would recommend to any looking to re-connect with nature and the beauty that is Vermont.

Can’t thank Suzanne enough for such an amazing stay! Perfect for our family of 4. Our boys loved the bunk beds. Every room had exactly what we needed. We all wished we could have stayed longer. We didn’t want to leave. Suzanne went above and beyond stocking the place, and even provided tube for us to have fun in the snow! I also loved that many of the soaps were more natural (free and clear or essential oils) as I’m sensitive to many fragrances. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay! Would absolutely stay here again. Thank you Suzanne!

It was a great long weekend. Close enough to the crowds to enjoy, and far enough away to be private and also enjoyable. It would be nice to see some growth in restaurants and more options for food.

Lovely barn in picturesque Vermont. More than glamping but not cushy living. Shower gets hot immediately, full kitchen. We were there in October so the barn gets very cold. Bedding was nice and warm, and we slept amazingly well but hanging in the living room was hard given how cold it was. Must layer up! Jeff was lovely and kind. The surrounding towns are nothing short of quaint and charming. Loved our stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The lake is peaceful and beautifully scenic surrounded by mountains, with a great view from the large picture windows in the living area. Kayaking and canoeing were great! Our son stayed at the Studio bachelor pad until his older sibling arrived and kicked him out; a perfect size for couple also. Close to Six Flags and Lake George. House was pristine. Great layout for family fun!

Our whole experience with our stay was just wonderful! The host was super with their communications, the house was in FANTASTIC condition, and we totally enjoyed the quiet and relaxing getaway. We definitely plan on visiting again.

We’ve been traveling across the USA and Europe using Airbnb and similar services for over 20 years, and without a doubt, what Mary has created at Heron Pointe on Silver Lake is a slice of paradise—the best place we’ve visited so far! You can feel Mary’s deep love for this magical retreat and her genuine care for her guests even through the listing description and beautifully captured photos. She thoughtfully anticipates every guest's need, from the delightful welcome basket and thoughtful treats to the cozy rugs and blankets provided for stargazing. Every detail is designed to make you feel at home while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. We were absolutely enchanted by this place—words simply can't capture how extraordinary our stay was. You have to experience this serene dreamland yourself!

Lovely peaceful location. Cabin was rustic and charming. Exactly as advertised.

Had a wonderful time here while skiing at Gore Mountain over a long weekend.

Lovely home and would 100% visit again. The porch sitting over Lake Champlain is one of a kind - we saw many of the surrounding properties from the water during our time in Essex and I don’t think there’s another porch in town with that type of water view - can’t beat it! We spent 10 days in late August with our 3 yr old daughter and some grandparents in/out over the course of the visit. The home was perfect for our getaway. The hosts, Lisa and John were flexible and welcoming. The space had everything we needed for our stay - kitchen was great and we cooked many meals at home. The open kitchen/dining/living floor plan is perfect for spending time together and so cozy… all alongside an unbeatable view.

This house was perfect for our family, the kids loved being right by the lake. Having a fire pit, grill, water activities and quick access to the main roads made for a great weekend. The place was immaculate with more than enough for our stay.

The pictures of this listing just do not do it justice. The house is truly beautiful inside and out and the view is AMAZING. My husband and I just celebrated our honeymoon here and we enjoyed every second of it. It was cozy and relaxing which is exactly what we needed after a hectic past couple of weeks! Thank you Nico for sharing your beautiful home with us.
