Property was perfect for a weekend of hiking, photography, and R&R. Everything was very clean and well appointed. Owner was friendly, communicative, and made sure we had all the info we would need to have a great stay. My only criticism would be to add some reflectors to the end of the driveway to make it easier to find at night.

What a beautiful place! It accommodated everyone comfortably with adequate privacy when needed. The detail put into this house was amazing.

Great Retreat!!

Everything about this property was top-notch, from the location to the Adirondack style, to the thoughtful touches throughout. The location in Keene is just a very short ride to Lake Placid, but honestly we didn’t stray too far from home base. There are so many hiking trails nearby, with lovely shops and markets as well. We stocked up on groceries in Saranac Lake at the Aldi there, so didn’t even have to go out for meals. We would highly recommend this home!!

Amazing Keene Chalet

This was an amazing property! It was clean, beautiful, spacious and well appointed. It was perfect for our extended family that included 2 small children and 6 adults. We enjoyed the sound system, the fireplace and the fabulous kitchen. The decor was so tasteful and perfect for a mountain home. We’d love to stay there again!

Peace and Quiet in the Mountains

When we travel to ADK, we are always hoping for some time to just rest and enjoy the mountains. We came here with three generations, and everyone loved the property. We spent hours sitting on the porch enjoying the view, the kids loved the foosball table in the basement, and the kitchen was incredibly well appointed. Thanks for the great stay!
