Fully equipped kitchen, clean rooms, great host. An intriguing / artistic interior design with wood details that create an enjoyable/comfortable living space. Deck is expansive with impressive views
Property was perfect for a weekend of hiking, photography, and R&R. Everything was very clean and well appointed. Owner was friendly, communicative, and made sure we had all the info we would need to have a great stay. My only criticism would be to add some reflectors to the end of the driveway to make it easier to find at night.
What a beautiful place! It accommodated everyone comfortably with adequate privacy when needed. The detail put into this house was amazing. We were able to enjoy the fantastic views just sitting on the porch. The trails on the property and surrounding area were beautiful. About 25 minutes from Lake Placid. Highly recommend this place.
Another amazing stay! We are in love with this property and the accommodations are absolutely perfect. Appreciate the gracious property owners and a huge congratulations on the 46 peak accomplishment.
Great stay, clean, location was perfect for what we needed. The home was beautiful, even better than the photos, loved the detail of everything. Easy check-in. Plenty of room. Everyone enjoyed this house, especially the porch. Would love to go back.
This was the best house I’ve ever rented. It was absolutely beautiful! Location was great. Christopher was the best host- very accommodating and always available for any questions we had. We had a wonderful, relaxing stay!
Thank you Chris!
Despite the previous renters having a party, the house was in great condition! Super clean! The renter had excellent communication and the stay was amazing! Could not have asked for a better price to stay! Check in was a breeze. And the kitchen has anything you would need.
It was a fun weekend with my Sisters! The house is beautiful and we used the HUGE wraparound porch for morning yoga. Chris, the owner was quick to respond to my questions before we arrived. I would recommend this home in the Lake Placid area
The house is even more impressive in person! I love all of the unique details throughout like the moose drawer pulls in the main level bathroom. The owner was very responsive with my questions beforehand. I would definitely stay here again!
This was an amazing property! It was clean, beautiful, spacious and well appointed. It was perfect for our extended family that included 2 small children and 6 adults.
We enjoyed the sound system, the fireplace and the fabulous kitchen. The decor was so tasteful and perfect for a mountain home. We’d love to stay there again!
We had a wonderful time staying here! Location was great! The attention to detail in the home was impeccable down to the bathroom cabinet knobs! There was more than enough space for the 6 of us. House was fully stocked with all necessities needed! I would highly recommend this home to others looking for a great place to stay!
Everything about this property was top-notch, from the location to the Adirondack style, to the thoughtful touches throughout. The location in Keene is just a very short ride to Lake Placid, but honestly we didn’t stray too far from home base. There are so many hiking trails nearby, with lovely shops and markets as well. We stocked up on groceries in Saranac Lake at the Aldi there, so didn’t even have to go out for meals. We would highly recommend this home!!
This is a beautiful property in a great location just outside of Keene. The property is remote (though there is prompt plowing during snow storms), but only a short distance from Keene and a full range of outdoor activities (in the winter - skiing, ice skating, cross country skiing, snow shoeing, ice climbing, just to name a few).
The home itself is well appointed, clean, and had everything we needed, including broadband internet access. The views are incredible, both those overlooking the mountains from the porch and those next the large hearth in the living area.
The host was also very responsive, ensuring we had everything we needed prior to and during our arrival. We will certainly be staying here again.
Nous avons séjournés pour la seconde fois à ce chalet. Nous aimons beaucoup le fait que ce soit proche de presque l'intégralité de tous les sentiers de randonnée. Egalement, le chalet est très confortable. Nous aimons avoir des épices dans l'armoire afin de ne pas avoir à devoir tout acheter sur place si l'on veut cuisiner un peu. Nous reviendrons !
We stayed for the second time at this chalet. We really liked that it's close to almost all of the hiking trails. Also, the chalet is very comfortable. We like to have spices in the cupboard so that we don't have to buy everything locally if we want to cook a little. We will come back !
