This property was perfect for relaxing, exploring and taking in historic places. We enjoyed the open space, the hot tub, sauna and the views were stunning. We played games at the table and those of us who wanted to watch a program on the TV we’re able to while they played. It does have a large game room on the lower level, but we mainly stayed on the main level for the view and outside deck area. We went to the Olympic museum, Santa’s workshop, the ski jumping, the Adirondack museum, the salmon hatchery, River Trail for lunch and brew, Big Slide for lunch and brew, the Crow for lunch and brew, and many other things. We even went down and walked in the stream. We made many memories. Thank you,
My brothers relaxing and taking in the views.

Whiteface getaway fun

Stayed for 5 days a loved the time spent with friends and family. House is as advertised. Easy to get to, travel from. We did tons of activities from hiking to dining to swimming all within 5-20 minutes of the property. Best of all was the nights spent out watching the stars next to the fire and the coffee mornings enjoying the Mountain View’s. The walk to the river is interesting and water shoes are a must for this section of the river but we even managed to catch a trout on a fly line!

Amazing

Perfect for a family trip to the North Pole. The hot tub had astonishing views, the sauna worked perfectly. With board games and ping pong and so much room it was a great stay with our six adults and various ages of 6 children and our dog! Nobody had a bad time on this quick trip. The owners were excellent communicators. Would definitely stay here again.Oh. And the floor lay out is great for children under two as every door can be shut and the outside doors can lock and there is no risk of a child falling down the stairs.

Beautiful Retreat with Stunning Views

Our recent stay at the VRBO cabin was nothing short of magical. Nestled in a serene location, the cabin offered breathtaking views of Whiteface Mountain, which could be enjoyed right from the comfort of the hot tub on the deck. It's not every day you find such an immaculately clean and well-maintained getaway that offers both privacy and picturesque landscapes. The hot tub was a particular delight, providing a soothing respite to our sore muscles after days filled with canoeing and hiking adventures. Evening time brought its own spectacle, with the star-studded sky brilliantly clear, allowing us to gaze at the Milky Way with nothing but our naked eyes. The lack of light pollution in the area made this experience even more profound. This cabin didn't just serve as a place to stay; it was a vital part of our vacation experience, enhancing every activity and moment spent there. Without a doubt, this VRBO cabin is a hidden gem that provided us with unforgettable memories. Whether it was the awe-inspiring views, the pristine cleanliness, or the luxurious hot tub, every aspect of our stay was incredible.

Great ski house

The house was as advertised, clean, and totally seamless check-in/check-out. Judi checked in on us and was available for any help. Loved the electric fireplace, the hot tub, and the fantastic view of Whiteface. Beds were comfortable. House was well equipped with basics like toilet paper, laundry soap, dishwasher soap, and bar soap. The lower level is significantly cooler than the upstairs, especially when running the fireplace--warmer linens would be a good addition. And while there was plenty of room to sleep our group of 11, and a great large dining table, the living area is pretty small and only seats 6. We only used the kitchen for breakfast--it was well-equipped, but tight to cook for 10+. Super convenient to Whiteface--would stay again!

Absolutely everything about our stay was beyond perfect! Communication from beginning to end was super easy and flawless. The house itself was just as pictured, except the view in person, a photo can't possibly capture and do it justice. The view is absolutely breathtaking! It felt like we could almost touch the mountains! The hot tub and sauna were such a bonus and made our time there even more enjoyable. The house and property were immaculate, super clean, and inviting. We pack a lot. So, the large foyer was wonderful to accommodate all of our extras. Can't thank the hosts enough for sharing their beautiful home with us. We had an amazing time and are very much looking forward to coming back! This home is definitely a solid five star + !!

Perfect Wedding Weekend

All I can say is this property was absolutely beautiful, the hosts were amazing in answering questions and so helpful throughout the whole process. We rented this house to elope in the Adirondacks with a few friends and it was beyond anything I could have imagined. The guys loved the sauna, girls in the hot tub, it was the perfect place for all of us to sit, relax, and get away from all the stresses of life and celebrate our marriage. The house everything we needed, and we could not have asked for better scenery for our day. We set up an arch in the yard with the mountain views and it was absolutely stunning. Our Sheppard mix absolutely loved sunbathing on the deck and chasing rocks in the river as well. I cannot wait to get the pictures back from the weekend to see us and our friends enjoying this beautiful amazing house. I also cannot wait to book it again as we all agreed it's perfect for our yearly friends trip! This house is also a very short drive to Whiteface Mountain and I highly recommend taking a ride up the elevator to the peak it is absolutely stunning.

Nature at your doorstep

This property is in a beautiful location and convenient to lots of nearby activities. The setting is idyllic with a view of the mountains. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit, kicking back on the deck, and the kids especially loved the hot tub. One of the best parts was access to the Ausable River. Yes the path gets muddy, but wear water shoes (you will need them in the river) and get out there. It's incredible to enjoy the river and surroundings all to yourself and we spent a lot of time just standing in the water, sitting on rocks, and chatting. Felt like we were in Montana. The house itself was great for a wide variety of sleeping arrangements and the foam mattresses are really comfortable too. The downstairs was loud for me, as you can hear people walking above, but didn't bother others who are not such light sleepers. Some highlights for activities included visiting the Wilmington Flume (which was raging from all the rain), and a trip to Split Rock Falls which had crystal clear water. We hiked in Keene and drove to the top of White Face (incredible! take the rocky trail not the elevator to the summit!). Another tip is to rent paddle boards/canoe/hydrobikes from Wilmington Town beach and explore down the right side of the river. You really feel like you're out in nature. Overall, this is a great base to experience the Adirondacks and some of us said it was our best family trip yet!
