Perfect for Ironman weekend

We were in town for the Lake Placid Ironman and this location was great for being close enough to activities and far enough away from crowded and crazy. It is remote and quiet. The space is nice, but could use some maintenance to fix window and exterior door issues. None of these issues affected our stay. The WiFi is not great in this area with minimal to no service except when inside the house. Also note that this property requires a separate insurance agreement for the rental of about 59 added to the cost of the stay. It is a great space for families with kids as the basement had a lot of entertainment options. It is damp and smelled musty but kids wouldn't care about that for sure!Overall, it was a nice space that was comfortable for our family.

Lovely Stay

We had a very nice experience here at the chalet. Everything was clean and well maintained. The surrounding area was beautiful.One critical feedback item for the future… We stayed at the chalet in March, and the area was just starting to thaw from winter. I wish that the chalet had notified us that in order to get to the chalet, you have to traverse several dirt roads that were really muddy because of the rain / melting. We got stuck in the mud several times during our stay.My friends and I had a lot of trouble driving to the chalet in our four door sedans. I would definitely advise others to consider driving in larger vehicles if staying here during a season with any rain or melting snow.

Great getaway!

2 small families gathered for skiing and celebrating the New Year. Dana’s chalet was just right for the occasion. The kitchen was nicely stocked for our cooking adventures. Plenty of dishes for our crowd too. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Extra towels came in handy. The bedding and beds were very comfortable. The space was just right for us. Whiteface was 15-20 minutes and lake placid was 25 minutes or so. The skiing was excellent. The sauna was well used each day apres ski.Thank you Dana!We would visit again.

Lovely Home

My family enjoyed our stay at Moose Lodge. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds are comfortable. While the locks on the doors are unusual, if one follows the instructions they are easy to use. Like many Adirondack cabins, it does not have AC - we were pleased to find an oscillating fan in the upstairs closet. Between ceiling fans and the oscillating fan, we were quite comfortable.

The Total Eclipse in Jay NY

Our family of 6 adults enjoyed our stay. It was a wonderful and beautiful space with all the ameneties. Each couple had a bedroom and bathroom. The sauna was a big hit. As was the fireplace and firepit once the snow cleared. The beds were comfortable. The decorating details were not missed on us. Great loaction for our day trip to Lake Placid. And the finale was the perfect view of the Eclipse from the yard. Then BBQ'd and sat around the fire. It was the perfect day! Thank you for helping to make a fantastic event so memorable for our family.

Perfect retreat

Great place for a long weekend away with friends and family. Although further from Placid, it was a nice retreat with many amenities. The basement, filled with games was a hit for all ages. Loved the nostalgia and fun playing Ms. Pacman and Donkey Kong. Appreciated the house being stocked with all the little things (toiletries, paper towels, landry detergent, etc.). Great outdoor area as well. Thank you, Dana, for a excellent stay!

Horrible Experience with the Property, the Host & VRBO

This property should NEVER have been rented. The following REQUIRED safety features were NOT in place BEFORE we EVEN ARRIVED: 1) several entry level doors (main/bedroom doors with direct outside access) did not lock. The Host validated this IN WRITING via the VRBO portal, stating that she knew about this safety issue & it could NOT be fixed because the parts were on order and not yet received...so, she rented her home to us KNOWING this KEY SAFETY REQUIREMENT was NOT in place & chose NOT to tell us about it! 2) We opened several entry level windows only to find out they could not be closed; 3) there was spotty to no internet connection & the landline, which we successfully used to call the Host with our safety concerns, and received a call back from her on, suddenly STOPPED WORKING! Seriously, it was like a bad Halloween movie! 4) During the night, one of the smoke detectors started chirping... on our hunt to find the right smoke detector to disengage, we found several other smoke detectors completely disengaged with the battery door/connector hanging down! 5) We noticed upon arrival that the lock box was not only wide open, with the key visible and easily taken by anyone walking up to the house, but it was also set to the exact combination that the Host gave us to check in. While it didn't initially cause us major anxiety, given all the other safety issues & the remote location, it raised concerns as to how many other folks could access the house while we were in it! We communicated all of these issues immediately and on an ongoing basis that night and into the next morning with the Host via the VRBO portal (as mobile phones and landlines were not working). She became irate, stating that we were bombarding her with issue after issue & not giving her a chance to correct...at which point I made it clear we did not want to stay, to which she replied - IN WRITING via the VRBO portal - that she would not charge us for the night because of the MULTITUDE of SAFETY concerns we experienced. Please note we have photos and videos in support of all of these safety issues & 4 other professional women who are happy to share their personal experience. We were fortunate to find another VRBO Host in Lake Placid that had ZERO issues, safety or otherwise, and managed to finally relax & enjoy the remainder of our stay. I am disputing VRBO/the Host's refund of 56%, demanding their justification in keeping 46%, or $914, for an UNSAFE/UNACCEPTABLE 1 night stay.

Clean, cozy place to stay

Cabin was very clean besides the small evidence of mice, although we did not see any actual four legged friends. Had a small issue with a running toilet but manager got right back to us on the issue. Walls are a bit thin when it came to noise control. But who doesn't like hearing laughter! Seeing Deer outside the house every morning was enjoyable. Game room was fun! Additional bath soaps and shampoos were a nice touch. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Overall, a very nice place to stay with family and friends.

Sisters trip

We take a Mystery Trip every year. This was my year to plan everything. Once I chose the location I went to VRBO to find our home. I kept coming back to this property. I wanted a home that reflected the Adirondacks and was extremely pleased with my choice. Her home is nestled in the hills in Jay, NY. It was an incredible home. Beautifully decorated and Dana had everything we needed for our stay. Extremely pleased with my choice❤️
