Lovely room with lake view & private balcony

My husband and I stayed here for a weekend and were very happy with the room and lake view. The mattress was firm and we enjoyed the private balcony. The only thing we noticed that detracted was that the wall was thin between our room and the room next door, so we could hear the other guests just a bit now and then. But it was quiet for sleeping and we really enjoyed our stay here.

Cozy, beautiful and serene

The owner was just lovely and our stay was so peaceful! This was a business trip for me. My fiancé came along and enjoyed the kayaking and fishing right from the inn property while I was attending classes at the nearby community college. We enjoyed seeing abs hearing the loons, too. This was a beautiful and friendly spot to begin and end my day with and I just loved the homemade muffins and fruit. There were even cute acorn shaped muffins one day! Thank you for hosting!

This area gets absolute quiet after dark. Driving in dark, especially in rain/snow conditions, needs extra caution due to mountainous terrain. We were first time guests and arrived at 10 pm. Office/reception was closed by then. We did not have any problem getting into our room (instructions provided by phone message) but to reach the house we had to take guidance from neighbors who were luckily awake.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful lakeside setting

Kiwassa Lake B&B is lovely, quiet, and remote (though not far from the village of Saranac Lake). Our room was wonderful--generous is size, with a very comfy bed and armchairs. The views over the lake from the large living/dining room were stunning, and we had a view over rooftops to the lake from our room. Breakfast was excellent. If you're looking for a quiet place in a beautiful spot in the Adirondacks with friendly people, this is it.

It was a beautiful location with fantastic hosts. Breakfast was so good and the view of the lake was extraordinarily great. It was peaceful and quiet, especially at night on the dock & with a cup of coffee in the morning. Glorious!!! Moose room looks out in lake and is very spacious. Highly recommendable B&B.

Charming B&B in a quiet, lakefront setting

We had a wonderful stay at Kiwassa Lake B&B. I was there with my parents for the Lake Placid Iron Man. We stayed for three nights. It was a beautiful, quiet setting and a great place to relax. It is on a beautiful lake and boats are available to guests. We stayed in the unit with a double and a queen, which included a full kitchen. The unit was charming and the couches and beds were comfortable. The only downside was that there was no air conditioning and the weather was hot, so the unit was hot at night. Marjorie was a wonderful host and took care of us. This unit did not include breakfast, but she was able to accommodate us on one of the mornings anyway. Overall, I highly recommend.

Quiet and comfy

One of the nicest B & B we have stayed at. Marjorie makes you feel welcome on this pristine and beautiful lake. We stayed in the Pike room which has a lovely view of the lake and has private deck. The breakfast is one of the best, especially the apple German pancake with real maple syrup in a cute little pitcher and a fresh fruit cup. While you eat you overlook the lake and listen to soft jazz.

A gem in the Adirondacks

We were so fortunate to discover Kiwassa Lake B&B. The place is fascinatingly charming, warm, has every amenity you can think of and haven't thought of and is on a serene, quiet lake. The breakfasts were fabulous and accommodating. The town and even Lake Placid are accessible. The Cochrans are delightful.
