We stayed for a week and had a great time. The host Dan was extremely helpful. The property is perfectly located for a peaceful secluded feel but is still close enough to amenities and things to do.

A very quiet and relaxing house on the river. It had everything our family needed. It was a little further from Lake Placid than I had imagined but was easily doable.

Wonderful, secluded home

We had a great stay and enjoyed the property immensely. We had great communication with the Dan and would love to come back. The location is a little over 30 minutes to Lake Placid, where we spent several days. However it's about 15 minutes away from other cute small towns, such as Keene, Wilmington, and Jay.

Riverside getaway

The house was great. Beautiful, secluded location, but yet not too remote. The river is just a few steps down the hill. The house and lot were beautiful and spacious. It offers all the amenities you would need for a wonderful Adirondack getaway in any season. And the owners were always reachable to resolve any issues.

Exactly as advertised. Beautiful home in the woods by the river. Exceptionally clean. Loved the no smoking policy. We are sensitive to allergens and scents which made this house perfect for us

Mixed feelings about this place. The location is great, albeit about 10 minutes from a main road if you're trying to go anywhere in the area. But it's quiet, in a neighborhood of similar camps, and right on the river. The cabin is a bit run down: one of the porches has a lot of broken boards; the back deck has stairs that are blocked off because some are broken. The couch is pretty sunken in. Many windows don't have screens. The upstairs bedrooms and bathroom have all been nicely updated, although the water pressure leaves something to be desired. Kitchen is solid and appliances are new, except the dishwasher, which was a challenge. Downstairs bathroom and bedroom are both older and could use a good once over.All that said, we were enjoying the place and wouldn't have felt disappointed if it weren't for the following. Upon arrival, I was notified by the owner that the downstairs toilet might be leaking, not to use it, and that he would have to send someone by the next day. So that happened, the toilet didn't appear to be leaking, whatever. There was also air conditioning unit that was really loud and not doing much. I checked the filters and they had maybe never been cleaned. Finally, on the last night there, I noticed that the side garage door had been broken or broken into during our stay. I reached out, expressed my concerns, and we elected to leave just in case. The owner was cooperative and said he'd reimburse our last night, but he never did.

Nice place

House was as advertised. Clean and comfortable. We had a drain clog and the owner was very prompt and efficient getting someone there to fix it. Wish the fire stove worked though. Just a little farther than I expected from Whiteface. But all in all very nice place to stay.

Nice getaway

The house was cute, cozy, and was very comfortable for a family of 4. It was bitter cold when we were there, and the heat pump and heater worked well to keep the place warm. We used the fire pit several nights, and the grill a few times. Both worked well. The drive and porch were cleared by the caretakers, too. The kitchen is small, but useful. The only issue we had was that the wood burning stove was not working due to a chimney issue. Otherwise, we very much enjoyed our stay there.
