everything was exactly as the host described...the loj is warm and cozy yet large enough a family gathering, the mountain views are fantastic, and somehow Jonathan ( the host) even managed to make it snow so it was absolutely magical. We can not wait to return.

Ski week with friends

We spent a week at this property and we’re very pleased with everything! The house is beautiful and well appointed with everything you need. The house was clean and the owner provided very detailed information making the entire process seem less. We enjoyed the indoor fireplace as well as the outdoor fire pit! The location was ideal for us as well. We would def stay again!

Perfect base for Whiteface, XC and more

So cozy and picturesque! Layout wise, the bedrooms are nicely spaced out (2 on third floor, one on main floor, one "bunk room" on the basement floor) to give everyone breathing room and privacy for a multi-family gathering. Perfectly situated in between Cascade XC Center, Mt Van Hovenberg XC, Whiteface and the town's amenities. Owner was super understanding when we had to make a schedule change.

I don't usually give anything the highest rating!

The property is exactly as it is described. It was clean, check in was easy. We had to make changes a few months before our trip as the number of guests changed and we were no longer bringing a dog. Johnathan took care of the changes right away! The location is great! Just minutes from the town of Lake Placid and the Olympic sites; the ski Jumps are right at the end of River Rd., and the view is beautiful! River Rd. runs with the Ausable river, more or less, so there are many places to pull off the road and fish or hike. Again, the house itself was as clean as could be and in great condition! And, no must smell like some places we've stayed. We had the Grand kids, ages 15 months, 3 and 6; they all had a great time! Making smores, fishing, visiting the North Pole, or using the hot tub! If I return to the Lake Placid area, I would definitely stay here again! Only longer next time! Thank you Johnathan!

Great Family Vacation

This rental was a beautiful place to stay. It gave you feeling of being secluded in the woods with an amazing view, but was so close to everything you would want to do with your kids and family. The property itself was well maintained, clean, and the property manager was always easy to get ahold of for any needs or questions. We truly enjoyed our stay as of family of 11, and made lots of memories. It would be a wonderful place to stay again.

Gorgeous view of Whiteface Mt, lovely new Adirondack home

We enjoyed our time with extended family arriving from Dallas, TX and Rochester, NY areas. So much to do in Lake Placid area …and we were close, but a few minute drive from town for restaurants, Olympic sites and shops. Hiking and exploring the area, the home was a relaxing place to return to. Kitchen was well stocked, lots of rooms to spread out into and large family table for game nights. We highly recommend this home. Jonathan (owner) has his stunning photographic artwork throughout the modern log home. He’s a great communicator and has a wealth of knowledge of local hiking.
