Very welcoming and accomodating hosts. We had a very comfortable family ski getaway on the coldest weekend off the year. The fire place was amazing and very cozy!
Beautiful home to stay, house kept so well clean and filled with amenities, Rex and cay are best host, they have a warm and friendly personality, highly recommended to everyone.
Parson Place is a very nice, warm, beautifully decorated house that is about 10 drive from Whiteface Mountain. It's very well equipped with pretty much anything you could need outside perishable food. The bedrooms are super comfortable, bathrooms are updated with big shower stalls, the living room with the large screen TV was amazing. Highly recommend.
This was the 2nd time we stayed here. Since our 1st stay only 3 things have changed1- Elevator is no longer available 2-You can no longer park in the garage 3- Entrance is now around backI was planning on backing into the garage and using the elevator to make it easier to bring in my groceries and luggage. So at 1st I was a bit disappointed. However that quickly changed when the owners took it upon themselves and brought everything into the house for me. This was greatly appreciated since I have limited use of my right arm due to a torn rotator cuff (Which they were unaware of). The house is clean, well taken care of and has absolutely EVERYTHING you need. The yard was perfect for our Easter Egg hunt. We will definitely be back.
Everything about our stay was perfect! We were greeted upon arrival by the friendly hosts. The location, amount of space, comfort, amenities and conveniences were all top notch. We hope to visit again next year!
This was the second time we stayed at Parson Place and the home is beautiful, clean and spacious, providing all the amenities we needed. We used the kitchen and dining room for many family meals and there was no shortage of pots, pans, dinnerware, glasses and utensils. The home was in close proximity to everywhere we wanted to go in The Adirondacks, including Whiteface and Lake Placid. The hosts were right next door and were always available if we needed anything. Absolutely no complaints at all!
This was a wonderful place to stay to enjoy the area around Lake Placid but be far enough away from the crowds to enjoy the quiet beauty as well. Rex and Cay were great hosts. Loved the villages of Keene and Keene Valley. Great proximity to Whiteface Mt area as well.
Very nice well equipped house that had everything you could need. It was very enjoyable and we appreciated the quality features, the fireplace and the furniture. Super close to Whiteface Mountain and we loved the skiing.
Great place to stay, clean and quiet. Location is close to everything in the area. Host Rex and Cay were extremely nice! House has everything and if we needed anything they were there to help. Would definitely stay there again!
My sister and I loved everything about this place: hosts, location, and the house was designed with comfort and convenience in mind! Breakfast on the screened porch was the perfect way to start our days!
Exceptional! Thoughtful Amenities, well divided into two master suites, just perfect!
All 4 of us agreed it was well stocked w every kitchen gadget you’d want, the radiant heat throughout was lovely, the living room overlooked well stocked bird feeders which provided endless birding opportunity. Rex really is a super host!
A beautiful property close to Whiteface Mountain and Lake Placid. Very spacious, has everything you can possibly need, the owners were absolutely wonderful to work with. We felt like we were staying at a very upscale property for a price lower than most hotels. In fact, it's about half as much the cost with the comfort of feeling like home!
We were very satisfied with our stay. The house was comfortable and clean. Almost everything we would have wanted was available. The atmosphere was cozy, comfortable, very family friendly. We were highly impressed with the quality of the home. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
