Panoramic Mountain Views From This Private Mountain Cabin.

Giant's View Lodge is a breathtaking vacation rental cabin located in Keene Valley, mid-way up Porter Mountain in the Adirondacks. Peacefulness and privacy abound here, amidst a wooded backdrop with incredible views of Giant Mountain and the Southern end of the Great Range of the High Peaks. The sunny clearing features a gently sloping yard with lovely perennial gardens, a 50 foot wraparound deck, and a large screened porch for dining or enjoying the panoramic mountain views.

From the lodge it is only a 2 mile jaunt to "the Garden" (hiking trailhead), from which countless hiking and skiing trails can be accessed.

The lodge is a custom-built, 3,400 square-foot, beautifully appointed log home, with hardwood floors throughout, a fieldstone fireplace dominating the Great Room, cathedral ceilings, a fully equipped gourmet kitchen/dining area, complete with granite counters and new stainless steel appliances. Providing lodging for up to 12 adults, sleeping areas include four bedrooms plus a spacious sleeping loft, accompanied by three bathrooms, the master bath featuring a 2-person shower and 2-person deep soaking bathtub. Adirondack furnishings abound, and of course, floor-to-ceiling windows everywhere.

Extra fees per night for more than 4 guests are automatically applied at a rate of $25 per person. Note, this rate will be manually adjusted to $40 during peak season. If you have children under 15 years old, contact us for special family rates.

Pets are allowed at a fee of $100 per pet. Note, if you have more than one pet, VRBO will not automatically add the fees for the additional pets. Contact owner to arrange the extra pet payment.

Adirondack Splendor

Our stay at Giant’s View cabin was a one of adventure and tranquility! The cabin itself was very warm and inviting. The views of the mountains were spectacular! Our favorite part outside of hiking and fishing was rocking in the comfy chairs in the screened in porch. The weather was hot while we were there but we stayed cool by utilizing the provided fans. We even got to see a family of deer crossing in front of the cabin. We would highly recommend this cabin to anyone who wants to get away from it all in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains!

Beautiful respite

Gorgeous, peaceful, secluded views. Clean, comfortable, quality furnishings and design. Easy communication. We enjoyed Keene Valley and Keene. We were glad one room had blinds for the kids as it was hard to resist the beautiful morning light. Agree with other reviews here - we would gladly come back.

Beautiful place to recharge

My family and I traveled to Lake Placid to support our son as he raced at Junior Nationals and this home was such a great spot to come back and relax each day. Everyone slept well, we had plenty of space for meals and the host was great communicating with us about our power loss after the storm. Looking forward to returning in the future!

Absolute Perfection!

Giant's View is as good as it gets for a long family weekend in the mountains! The view is fantastic and was only enhanced by some lake effect snow the entire time we were there. The inside of the cabin is another treat all by itself. It is extremely cozy and provided ample room for our group of 6 adults and 4 kids. Plenty of firewood was available for lounging by the wood stove in the evenings. The large dining table was perfect for doing a jig saw puzzle and playing an interactive card game we brought with us, however, there were plenty of board games available for all ages. They even provided a few sleds for the kids to use, and they had a blast in the snow. A windstorm did take down one tree that blocked the driveway, but it only took one call to maintenance, and they were there with a chainsaw as well as a plow for the driveway. A short drive into Lake Placid led to a few unforgettable experiences at the ski jump and again at the bobsled track. We all had a fantastic time and hope to return again. Between the 10 of us we give it 20 thumbs up!!! Thank you for letting us enjoy everything that Giant's View had to offer. Vin Sutton

Spectacular Mountain View

This property was very spacious and clean with a gorgeous view. There was plenty of room for our girls weekend group to spread out. The house is in a secluded, quiet area and we did not hear any neighbors. The owners were responsive to questions. We did encounter a few issues with the house. The master bedroom smelled like fuel oil if the windows were not open and many of the windows in the house were missing screens. We were not informed that one of the beds was broken so two people had to double up unexpectedly. Overall we had a nice stay and enjoyed the Keene Valley area.
