Secluded, quiet and well appointed. We highly enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed. It was very nice to have the separate cottage space for my parents, who wanted some peace and quiet in the mornings and evenings from the kids. We had plenty of room for our group of 10. Highly recommend for a relaxing stay in Jay!
This was by far the best VRBO property my friends and I have ever stayed at, making it an absolute dream for a fall foliage getaway in the Adirondacks. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how spacious, comfortable, and beautifully maintained everything was. The home offered the perfect balance of privacy and tranquility, surrounded by stunning scenery and vibrant autumn colors, yet still just a short drive from local attractions and cozy small towns. It truly felt like our own peaceful retreat in the heart of nature. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!
