The house is exactly as described, really close to both Mount Van Hovenberg, and downtown Lake Placid. We did not get a chance to use the sauna, but it was definitely a great extra to have on the property! We’dstay again! ##### Abigail B. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael S.

This was our second time staying at this property and don’t have anything bad to say. It is comfortable, with plenty of space for all of us, inside and outside. The fire pit is a huge plus. It is in a quiet location, yet only 10 min drive to Lake Placid/Mirror Lake area. We will definitely be staying here again. Thanks Steve ##### Brad M.

We ate in each night in a lovely kitchen that had all the cooking intensils you needed. We hiked every day in Keene valley on some beautiful hikes with great Fall foliage. It was only 20 minutes away. The bedrooms were very comfortable. If there was any downside it was there were not Enough comfortable seating for 6 people.

Girls Weekend 2023 for group of four forty-somethings who all went to college together, who get together once a year to hike, relax and explore a new area while leaving the kids and husbands at home! I had trouble receiving email to check in but host (Steve) instantly helped when I called him and we arrived with no issues. Plenty of parking for 3 vehicles (that's all we had) but 6 could have easily fit! Great proximity to High Falls Gorge, the Flume Trails and a few others, and less that 10 miles to downtown Lake Placid and the Olympic Training mountain where we rode bobsled! Two of our friends went to the wild life refuge and met the host and had a lovely tour they enjoyed. House was nice and clean with exception of one cabinet that had pepper or spices spilled throughout bottom and the grill has seen better days (would not go over 300 degrees and right burner doesn't work) but toilets, showers, beds all perfectly clean. Host had detailed info in basement for the cleaners on how to maintain and extras of everything from cleaning supplies to garbage bags. Lovely fire pit and you can source wood from the neighbor to the left (when leaving the driveway) in about a 1 min walk. We did not use the sauna but looked at it, looked nice! There were extra fans which was nice but no A/C so I was thankful I brought an extra box fan with me. We opened windows at night but it was still 70 degrees one night since it is July! We all enjoyed the stay and would stay again! ##### Sarah K. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael H.

It had everything we needed and was well stocked with necessities (sheets, towels, tp, kitchen items, etc.) It was less than ten minutes to get to Whiteface Mountain, High Falls Gorge, the Flume Trails (our favorite place!) and the Highway up Whiteface Mountain.

Unfortunately we arrived to a water leak affecting two floors, as well as to no hot water and limited heat. Host Steve responded quickly to our report of these issues and offered us use of part of his home or a second, smaller property for the weekend. We had already "moved in" here and otherwise found neither other scenario was ideal so stayed put. House was well-supplied in some ways, not in others. Appreciated that there was not a lengthy "to do" list left by host for our departure, as there often can be at properties. ##### Julie P. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Glenn G.

Place was clean and well suited for 3 couples and a few children. Cant wait to go back again!!! ##### James W. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie C.

It is a good location if you don't want to be right in Lake Placid. It is a perfect spot for day trips to Lake Placid or even Burlington VT. Stunning views of Whiteface Mtn are viewable from the front yard. It is walking distance to some trails and kids enjoyed jumping into Flume Falls. We enjoyed games around a campfire at night and the sauna is an added bonus! Def would stay again. ##### Julie C. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Pam M.

Also there was no garbage cans in the bathrooms, which we went out and purchased as well. The bbq grill was disgusting and needed to be cleaned before our use. Overall we enjoyed our stay ##### Pam M. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joan R.

We roasted marshmallows in the fire pit and enjoyed the large spacious house. Many cool hikes nearby. ##### Amy H. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tim F.

Jul 7, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Overall a nice place to stay Overall we had a great stay at this location. Very comfortable even with 10 adult family members. Good Location. Only problems we experienced, One, the main couch in the living room was broken. When you sat in it ,it seemed like you were sitting in a clam shell. The house rep. tried to put a piece of scrape wood underneath it. But it was still uncomfortable and awkward. It seemed like this broken couch had been like this for some time. Second, even though the house is listed for up to 10 people it only had dishes for 4\. Kitchen equipment, like pots and pans, knives, spatula's, and silverware were for a smaller group. We had to go across the street to the KOA Campground to buy plastic bowls. Besides these few discomforts we had a nice time. JD ##### John D. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather M.
