We had a great time at the house! Lots of attractions and activities near by and also great space for families! House was as described and there is sooo much land! We brought our pup and she had a blast running around. Also we saw some cool wildlife during our stay which was a plus!
We had a great stay , house was clean and well stacked kitchen . We enjoyed watching deer in the morning also beautiful views of the mountains.
We enjoyed fireplace, after watching ski jumps at Lake Placid . Good location to some attractions like high gorge falls and whiteface mountain ski resort and ski jump. Overall great experience.
Beautiful house and location. Just what we were looking for in terms of size, rooms and features. Gorgeous property with sensational views. We enjoyed watching the many deer who roam the property.Renter BEWARE: We found two mice inside the home, numerous outside, and could hear others through the walls. I notified the owner, who quickly responded and called an exterminator. I would imagine this will be an ongoing issue and I would never rent this house again because of it.Other negatives with the rental were SLOW WiFi speeds, worn-out kitchen supplies and bathroom appliances. You can tell there are many parts of the house that have been neglected. Roof is in poor condition, gutters and drain pipes are damaged and needing repair.

Our reviews speak for themselves…this is the first review, out of 17, that has ever been less than five stars. When outside doors are left wide open, there is a good chance mice will get in. When I went through with the exterminator, there was food and trash all over the kitchen. DISGUSTING! Thanks to this guest’s carelessness, I had to pay for an exterminator to eradicate the mice. As far as “numerous mice outside”, isn’t that where mice typically live?? Outside? Worn out bathroom appliances? What? An older hairdryer maybe? Our roof has had several shingles replaced after a terrible wind storm, so some are a lighter color but that certainly does not mean it’s in disrepair, quite the contrary. Hopefully, future guests will see this review for what it truly is. Also, not one of these issues, other than the mice, was ever reported to me during the guests stay. The only part of this review that makes me very happy is the fact this guest will never return.
Beautiful place, peaceful surroundings, with great views. This property lives up to its name, "Deer Haven Lodge". Deer roam the grounds freely. The house is cozy, well maintained and organized, and has beautiful decor. The owner provided necessary information, and we were able to communicate with her throughout our stay. We had a great time. Thank you!
House was exactly as shown in photos and LOVED that it was decorated for Christmas! Well stocked kitchen and plenty of firework for the indoor fireplace. About 20-30 minutes away from Lake Placid/Whiteface which we went to everyday for all the winter activities - skiing, skeleton rides, watching high jump practice and Olympic Center for college hockey game. Beautiful home and property. Great family trip to ring in 2024!
The stay at Deer Haven Lodge was fantastic, the property is advertised accurately. The only hiccup was during check-in, I did not receive a message with the lock box code or instructions for check-in, but Shannon was available for a call to sort the issue out quickly. This was only slightly challenging as cell service was spotty at the property so I had to drive to another location for service to make the call.
Celebrating our 65th birthdays with college friends!
We stayed at the Deer Haven Lodge and it was perfect! Very clean, spacious, and the view of the mountains is amazing. Air-conditioning was definitely a plus! The front porch allowed for lots of conversation and listening/playing guitar. It was about a 30 minute drive to Lake Placid but was great to come back to the tranquility of this property. There is a fire pit, grill and seating area in the backyard and plenty of animals to watch and enjoy I would totally recommend Deer Haven if you are looking for a true getaway while still having all the amenities of home!
This house is amazing!! Perfect location for sight seeing and hiking. At night we got to l see the most beautiful stars. Our dogs loved playing in the yard. The host Shannon, very informative and quick to reply to questions. We would definitely stay there again.
