Great house in the middle of Lake Placid.

We had a great stay in Lake Placid. The house was beautiful and perfectly located just a couple blocks off of main street. We enjoyed our stay. The host, John, was available and very helpful.

Best Lake Placid VRBO

We decided to go away for Christmas this year and stayed at this lovely home! I was hesitant to be away for Christmas day, but found John’s home to be the perfect “home away from home” for our family! Great location, immaculate unit, and it had everything from a stocked kitchen to cozy bedrooms to make our stay perfect! My family will always remember this as one of our favorite Christmas experiences. We had fun iceskating, cross country skiing and downhill at Whiteface. We can’t wait to return!!!

Perfect Vacation Home

My friends and I frequent Lake Placid several times a year and this is the first rental that truly felt like a home away from home. It is exactly like the photos; warm, bright and inviting. John is communicable, knowledgeable about the area and was very accommodating. All around, our stay was wonderful. This is going to be our 1st pick for future stays in LP.

We could not have asked for anything more in this rental. We were in town for a figure skating competition and the location was perfect.

Clean and relaxing stay

This vacation home had all the comforts of home. The host was very generous in keeping supplies stocked for guests to use upon arrival. I also have to compliment the cleaning crew, John has found a very thorough crew! I felt more comfortable in this home than I have during previous VRBO stays. We enjoyed all of the local restaurants within walking distance, but the kitchen is fully stocked with any pot, pan, or utensil you could need. The house was perfect for our group of 6 with room for more.
