We utilized the full house for our family of 13. It was clean and we had room to hang together or spread out for some time alone. The kids (ages 4-12) had a blast. We all loved the game room! Hope to return someday.

Awesome 3 floor home, with a cozy side house. Ping pong and arcade machine on the 3rd floor made it a great hangout spot. Outdoor elevated patio, and fire pit. And sleeps plenty of people. Host communicates great. Excellent spot, would stay again!

Great for our multi-family Adirondack adventure. We had a wide range of ages (2-75) and the property had everything we needed! Love the setting; private yet close to everything! Also, very responsive host for the few questions we had. Thanks for the hospitality!!

Kitchen was great for cooking for a big group. Layout was a bit strange for sleeping but we made it work. There were several rooms that were helpful for storing sports equipment. The host was very responsive and the drive was cleared when we had snow.

We had an amazing stay couldn’t have asked for a better location. So much to do within 30min of the home. The kids had an absolute blast hiking and playing in the game room. The fire pit area was awesome we were warm and toasty all night. Hosts were very responsive and kind we would def stay again enough room to fit our group of 16 8 kids and 8 adults.

Great quickly place

We enjoyed the stay here. Very nicely design and enough space for 17 people. I really like the separate one bedroom condo and I probably go again only to book that separate Pine condo. Definitely I will recommend other and will go there again.

Fun and great value

We rented both places, and our group had a great time. The house is clean and spacious, with plenty of nooks and crannies for a lot of people and things. We used one of the grills and the back fire pit without any issues.

Relaxing time in the Adirondacks

We rented this cottage to spend the holidays with our family and it was perfect. The rooms were comfortable, the kitchen well equipped, the cottage was overall super cozy and the surrounding forest was lovely. Communicating with the owners was a real pleasure as they were responsive and helpful. I would rent this chalet again without a doubt.
