The Nook

This is a wonderful Adirondack vacation rental, an efficiency, for one or two people. Have the second floor all to yourself in the house where Inner Quest Yoga and Wellness Center operates on the main floor. The Nook's entrance is separate from the owners so it is very private. The main room is furnished with a comfortable queen bed, dresser, secretary's desk, loveseat and Morris chair. The kitchenette is well equipped with a compact refrigerator, microwave, toaster, and Keurig coffee maker, plus other kitchen essentials. The Nook includes a large private bath with a lovely slipper soaking tub and hand held shower and the use of a full bath with shower directly down the stairs. During the warmer months there is A/C and guests may use the front deck, bistro table and chairs.

Guests best suited for The Nook will appreciate the quiet nature of the facility, that there is a shoes off policy, no smoking permitted in or on the premises, and that pets are unable to be accommodated.  Check-in time 4PM (usually earlier), check-out 11AM.

We call the upstairs of our home The Nook, as for us it is two floors above where we dwell and it just has a special good feeling to take refuge: The slanted lower ceilings, the lighting, the feng shui gives us that sense. We wish to share the charm of The Nook at Inner Quest with you - visitors, friends, and family. Perhaps when you come, you will share in your words how The Nook provided shelter upon return from your ADK outings.

The STUDIO

The Studio, Inner Quest Yoga studio, provides a unique and affordable place to stay for one or two guests (up to four considered) available Fri/Sat/Sun nights year-round. Stay one, two or three nights (longer during the Thanksgiving and Christmas to New Year holidays - check with us for dates). Generally no classes are held on the days The Studio is available for rent.

The Studio is a large open, beautiful space, with lots of natural light, and hardwood floors. The room is set up for guests with an queen size murphy bed, nice linens, blanket and comforter provided, side table and fans in the warmer months. There are two Stressless chairs comfy for relaxing, meditating, reading books or working on your computer. Guests may use studio props for exercising. A full bath with shower (shower shared only if there are guests staying in The Nook who prefer a stand up shower. The Nook has a tub with hand held shower).

The Studio has a private entrance off of the front deck apart from The Nook and the owner’s apartment. Enjoy the private space.

Mary and Kevin Bartel, reside in the lower level. They honor their guests privacy but, are always happy to assist in making your visit pleasurable and easeful. They know when traveling you can spend a lot of time trying to figure out what to do and where to go and dine. You will find a selection of brochures, maps, and books to peruse and they can guide you further in making decisions if you ask.

Mary & Kevin are avid outdoor enthusiasts. They moved to the area from Denver, Colorado in 1988 because of the ease of getting into the great outdoors and the desire to live in the mountains. They enjoy hiking, biking, paddling and swimming and are happy to share their favorite outing locations. The Adirondacks are so inviting with endless possibilities to explore or to just 'be' in nature!

Guests in The Nook are welcome to attend group yoga, stretch, meditation and tai chi classes complimentary. Appointments may be made for private yoga sessions, yoga therapy, massage or bodywork sessions. Check the bodyworks link on Inner Quest Yoga and Wellness Center's website for a menu of services and booking information. As an added benefit to our guests you may receive a 75 minute Swedish Massage or Shiatsu session for the one hour rate.

We are conveniently located a short walk from Saranac Lakes’ downtown shops, restaurants and artist galleries. The building behind The Nook is BluSeed Studios, featuring art exhibitions, workshops and live music performances. Across the street kitty corner is a small park with a tennis court and basketball court. Less than a mile away is the towns’ municipal beach, park and picnic area at Lake Colby - always a lovely spot to watch the sunset and lower Saranac Lake boat launch, which gives access to the spectacular Saranac chain of lakes. We are 10 miles from Lake Placid, home of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics.

The town of Saranac Lake - Adirondacks' Coolest Place serves as a great vacation spot for outdoor enthusiasts, no matter the time of year! Nearby find great road biking, canoeing, hiking, fishing, snow shoeing and x-c skiing. Downhill skiers can experience Titus, Big Tupper and Whiteface Mountains each approximately 30 minutes away. Saranac Lake’s history continues as a health and wellness getaway location. Come see why Saranac Lake is one of the Northeast's pioneering health resorts and why a get away here in the Great North Woods is plain ole healing. Breath, relax, feel and be.

May you be happy. With kind regards, Mary & Kevin
