Tupper Lake Cottage | The Healing Wood Sanctuary at Indian Carry ~Upper Saranac Lake

3 Bedroom Cottage in Tupper Lake

Near the quiet southern shore of the sublimely beautiful Upper Saranac Lake lies this enchanting and peaceful retreat for those who appreciate charm and serenity.
This unique property typically rents Saturday to Saturday, during the Summer months of July 1 to Labor Day. Other calendar dates are flexible with a 2-3 night minimum. Maximum occupancy is strictly limited to 4 adults, double occupancy in King and Queen bedrooms (+ 1 child or petite adult in Twin bedroom) during the Summer months)
This cozy historic home (known as the East wing of the Swenson Estate) was built for the 1932 Olympics and offers 3 bedrooms/3 baths. It is approximately 1850 sq feet on 5 park like acres. The fully equipped unique kitchen has been described by many as award worthy with remarkable attention to detail. "Fairytale like" it has been commonly described as and it has repeatedly been said, "The pictures do it no justice"
All linens are provided as a courtesy, but please DO bring your personal BEACH towels for Summer stays. There are 2 smart TV's for streaming and DVD/VCR, with a plentiful library to choose from, as well as a Bose bluetooth smart speaker with voice control. And please NOTE: for those concerned about wifi and a need for speed, 2026 features the upgrade to STARLINK,..
During the SUMMER/FALL months there is a small deck with 4 chaise lounges for sunning, a fire pit for camp fires, a small frog pond, and an expansive lawn. The lovely deeded, semi-private shared beach (Upper Saranac Lake) is a 5 -7 minute park-like stroll from the home through a quiet, sparsely populated neighborhood. As a back lot location, it offers a "safety buffer zone" with certain peace of mind for those with younger Children or Grandchildren. With a grass lawn, the beach is clean and sandy with a gentle, gradual drop-off. Again, very safe for young children. There is one green Old Towne Canoe and 2 red Kayaks parked near the beach for your use and enjoyment. No motor boats are permitted. Please note: If you choose to bring your personal kayak, paddle board, etc, and leave them at the cove, it is impossible for me to guarantee their security; mine are not high end and I have never experienced any issue over the years...
During the WINTER, Titus and Whiteface Mountains for downhill skiing are about a 45 minute drive. There's a toboggan run and ice skating in Lake Placid and tubing at Mount Pisgah and Titus Mountain. And plenty of cross country skiing options.
The wilderness area directly across our drive, offers you hiking, biking on endless trails and canoe access to the Stoney Creek Ponds and the Racquette River. The popular Ampersand Trail is just minutes up the road, as well as one of our favorites, the Deer Pond trail, a gentle hike for children. Golfers will enjoy the Saranac Inn Golf Club, ten minutes up the road founded at the turn of the century and designed by Scottish pro and architect, Seymour Dunn; this 18 hole course was designed using the natural terrain to provide a great golfing experience with lovely mountain views. Adventurers can traverse 30 miles of waterways that connect the lakes Oseetah, Kiwassa, Lower and Middle Saranac Lakes. Travel through the lock system which raises and lowers your watercraft to the level of the connecting lake. Take note- there is no lock access to the Upper Saranac Lake thereby granting you an extremely quieter lake experience especially at the southern end....it is pristine. At the Paul Smiths Visitors Center, you can explore gentle hiking trails and learn about the Adirondack region. And be sure to check out the whole wild world of the Adirondacks in Tupper Lake at our Natural History Museum of the Adirondacks. (better known as "The Wild Center") During the summer, on Sunday, you can ride your bikes or walk to the Chapel bound boat which takes you to non-denominational services at Chapel Island, a short ride away.
Secluded, yet very convenient to all amenities...23 minutes to our Olympic village of Lake Placid, 11 minutes to Saranac Lake, 8 minutes to Tupper Lake, 2.5 hours to Montreal. Our regional Adirondack Airport (SLK) is a 25 minute drive up Rte 30.
