Quiet spot near Lake Placid
We enjoyed our stay at this renovated barn near lake placid. Comfortable bed and beautiful soaking tub. Nice shower and enjoyed the gas fireplace. Nice spot along Ausable River. Curtains in the bedroom & bathroom could be added for more privacy.

Great Stay
Great location and the house was very clean and nice, defiantly newly built. My only comment is the heater is very noisey couldn’t sleep with it on but the fireplace is in the living room and bedroom so it worked out great i wouldn’t say that is really a complaint though everything was great.

Weekend getaway
Beautiful barn. However, lacks privacy/ curtains in the bedroom and bathroom. Around 25 minutes from lake placid. Overall, great check in experience. Had everything you need including silverware, bowls, pots/pans, towels, etc.
