Excellent home for a vacation. It was clean with lots of space and plenty of beds. Nice quiet location but still close enough to all the action in the area. We would definitely stay here again. Steve was excellent to deal with and communication was always very quick. Thanks!

In general, it was perfect in regards to being clean plenty of room for our family for everyone to sleep and still visit. The outside accommodations were wonderful. We were able to use the grill in the fire pit. We were a little confused about the kayak access. We were very close to a lot of things, food, Lake Placid, Tupper Lake to see the trolls, etc. we would definitely stay there again.

This home was beautiful! Very nice and extra clean! It was the perfect stay for all our guests as we got married on the top of Whiteface Mountain. We would highly recommend this home to all. We will be back for another stay in the winter months to ski. Perfect location for Whiteface Mountain. This home is also close to Keene and Lake Placid.

A great getaway

Perfect for what we were looking for. Listing was very accurate. Very private and quiet. Short distance to lots of good stuff. The kayaks at the AWR were awesome! Such a nice quiet spot to paddle a bit.

Great stay in the ADK

My family and some friends came up for the WHOOP UCI World Cup in Lake Placid. 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!

Whiteface/Lake Placid Holiday

This was such a great home for our family to be at for the winter holiday we had been planning! The location to Whiteface and Lake Placid was perfect and we felt very much “at home” when we arrived. The house was clean, warm and just right for the 6 of us. We’ll have Many great memories for life from our trip and Bear Den Chalet is a big part of those!

Awesome Place...Great Location

Had an amazing weekend riding at Whiteface during the day and hanging out in Lake Placid in the afternoon/evenings. 2 minutes to the mountain and 10 minutes to town. Place was clean and well suited for 3 couples and a few children. Cant wait to go back again!!!

Very convenient and quiet

This house is bigger than we expected and slept 8 of us very comfortably with plenty of room to spare. 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. Check-in was flawless and we were all very comfortable here. I highly recommend this house, especially if you have a group of 8 or 10.

Perfect trip!

The Bear Den Chalet was great. 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.

This is a fantastic house for a family with kids. We loved the extra space for our small family. But - this is not a 5-bedroom house. Three bedrooms with Queen beds. Two full bads - on same floor next to the kitchen- bedroom/loft upstairs with no shower/tub- With Sink-toilet only. The loft had a futon. There was an unfinished basement with a futon and TV, and a futon in the living room, we did not need the extra beds- so I am not sure which futon opened up into a bed. Great has two showers and extra sink to get ready. The place is fantastic - very near everything we wanted and needed to do. Fully stocked kitchen- full size fridge (Greatly appreciated) and a fantastic BBQ with picnic tables and chairs outside. We could not use the fire pit because there were no matches to light the logs up with. and we kept forgetting to pick up on the way home. Locations for us was perfect. Long weekend summer trip- Wild Center/ Flume Gorge/ Whiteface Split rock waterfalls. Close to town and restaurants. It was quiet and convenient. Contacting for the alarms/door code was a bit confusing. We did book last minute, day before, so our fault also- but never got any responses from the owner. We were out hiking for the days, and reception was very shaking- had hard time reaching us. I also would have liked a desk for my computer to work. and also, some suggestions with local restaurants/ flyers for things to do- about the area. Highly recommend. would definitely stay again.

Great Time

We stayed 3 night and there were 6 adults and 1 child (age 11). 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

Fall Hiking

The house was great for our needs. 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. But then again there was an enormous Den TV and sofas. Loved the place.

We liked the property itself. 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.

August

The house was a great location for our needs, there was just a few things that could have been a little better… There was 6 Of us that stayed here and there was only 3 washcloths in the whole place, we had to go purchase some. 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

Relaxing, quiet home and central location for all we wanted to do!

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!

Wake up to birds singing

This is a beautiful house on a wooded lot. Great natural light. We roasted marshmallows in the fire pit and enjoyed the large spacious house. Many cool hikes nearby.
