The house was very charming. It was also immaculate with everything we needed: linens, towels, kitchen stuff, etc.
We had a really nice post-holiday vacation despite some poor weather.

Would definitely stay here again.

We could not be happier!
Thank you for taking great care of our cabin.
Please come again.😀
Spacious, beautiful home with very comfortable beds. Serene location. Relaxing hot tub! Exceptionally clean and well decorated home. Great deck and fire ring with nice lighting. If I have one recommendation, I'd like more wash cloths (only had 3 and we had 6 people) and a mirror in the master bedroom. But I'm just being picky.Definitely worth the 5 star rating and would stay again.
Has everything you need and did not realize that you needed. Great location to mirror lake and several trail heads. Quiet area with easy accessibility. Fire pit is a plus and one of the reasons we chose this house again. The gas and charcoal grills well used.
Perfect place! We loved it.
This property is beautiful. My husband and I enjoyed afternoons on the porch after hiking. Our son loved running around the yard and our daughter found solace on the third floor. The decor was super cute and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you need. Thank you for sharing your property with us. We will be back!
Cozy, clean, relaxing and close enough to everything!
We loved staying here. The neighborhood is quiet. We would do coffee walks every morning, read on the porch, do fires, and the beds were actually comfy (hard to tell with photos and sometimes beds at rentals are springy and rough) I have hip problems and had no trouble sleeping! It’s 10-30 minutes from everything just about but it’s so scenic It never feels that long, I am 1000% booking again. Only
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The location was a relatively short drive to many exciting adventures including: Whiteface Mountain, Lake Placid, Ausable Chasm and close to many wonderful hikes.
The cabin itself provided a great place to relax and unwind. The whole experience was great, would definitely recommend!!
Many thanks to Kim for the ease of communication, attention to detail in the house, cleanliness and just such a wonderful place to call home for a week. She was quick to accommodate a slightly earlier arrival when we got to the area sooner than anticipated. The house was very clean and the mattress toppers for the sleeper sofa were a great addition! The kitchen was very well stocked and made cooking a breeze while away. We were close to a number of great hikes and spent our week exploring the area - so beautiful! Thank you again for the great stay!!
Loved this place! Almost wished we didn’t have full days at whiteface planned so we could enjoy the bike more! 3 separate living spaces worked so well! Would be amazing to go in summer too! So many outdoor things to do as well! Highly recommend!!
We enjoyed our stay at the Bear Lodge skiing at Whiteface during President’s week. The home was immaculate and had everything we needed. The plastic dishes for my grandsons were an unexpected bonus. The home was cozy and comfortable! We all enjoyed it!
The cabin was exactly as advertised. Very clean, kitchen well stocked and all the furniture was of good quality. Grounds were well kept and private. Would definitely stay here again.
Cabin is in a great location-we spent time in Lake placid-lake george-Saranac lake and Whiteface mountain.Cabin has great spaces inside and out.Fireplace outside was huge and inbetween rain we enjoyed sitting by the fire.Loved game nights on Third floor.Great dinning room table to sit down as a family .Beds were so comfortable.Great communication -we loved our stay at this cabin.
Cabin was great, the inside was very nice, and the outside had a lot of land.
