The Stevenson Cottage is a historic house in the village of Saranac Lake, in the town of St. Armand, Essex County, New York.

Originally known as Baker Cottage, Stevenson took up residence there during the winter of 1887–88 while seeking treatment for lung disease. The site was dedicated to Stevenson and the preservation of his legacy when the Stevenson Society of America, Inc. was formed, on October 30, 1915. The cottage currently remains in the possession of the Stevenson Society and continues to serve as a memorial and museum to Stevenson’s life.
