Perfect base for Whiteface, XC and more

So cozy and picturesque! Layout wise, the bedrooms are nicely spaced out (2 on third floor, one on main floor, one "bunk room" on the basement floor) to give everyone breathing room and privacy for a multi-family gathering. Perfectly situated in between Cascade XC Center, Mt Van Hovenberg XC, Whiteface and the town's amenities. Owner was super understanding when we had to make a schedule change.

I don't usually give anything the highest rating!

The property is exactly as it is described. It was clean, check in was easy. We had to make changes a few months before our trip as the number of guests changed and we were no longer bringing a dog. Johnathan took care of the changes right away! The location is great! Just minutes from the town of Lake Placid and the Olympic sites; the ski Jumps are right at the end of River Rd., and the view is beautiful! River Rd. runs with the Ausable river, more or less, so there are many places to pull off the road and fish or hike. Again, the house itself was as clean as could be and in great condition! And, no must smell like some places we've stayed. We had the Grand kids, ages 15 months, 3 and 6; they all had a great time! Making smores, fishing, visiting the North Pole, or using the hot tub! If I return to the Lake Placid area, I would definitely stay here again! Only longer next time! Thank you Johnathan!

Great Family Vacation

This rental was a beautiful place to stay. It gave you feeling of being secluded in the woods with an amazing view, but was so close to everything you would want to do with your kids and family. The property itself was well maintained, clean, and the property manager was always easy to get ahold of for any needs or questions. We truly enjoyed our stay as of family of 11, and made lots of memories. It would be a wonderful place to stay again.

Gorgeous view of Whiteface Mt, lovely new Adirondack home

We enjoyed our time with extended family arriving from Dallas, TX and Rochester, NY areas. So much to do in Lake Placid area …and we were close, but a few minute drive from town for restaurants, Olympic sites and shops. Hiking and exploring the area, the home was a relaxing place to return to. Kitchen was well stocked, lots of rooms to spread out into and large family table for game nights. We highly recommend this home. Jonathan (owner) has his stunning photographic artwork throughout the modern log home. He’s a great communicator and has a wealth of knowledge of local hiking.

Idyllic ADK Stay in Clean, Charming Lodge with Endless Amenities

Put simply, this property and our stay was an absolute dream! We booked this beautiful home for my mom's 60th birthday trip and Johnathan's lodge provided the perfect backdrop to our 5-day stay in Lake Placid. My husband & I, my parents, and our chocolate lab already can't wait to return. The home was well-kept, clean, and had so much wilderness charm that every detail in the home was just icing on the (birthday) cake for this trip! Any and everything has been thought of here - down to measuring cups and other small household items you don't realize you need until the moment comes! Though we spent plenty of time out hiking, kayaking, visiting the Ski Jump Complex, High Falls Gorge, and enjoying meals out - our time at the house was just as special. The views from the expansive from deck were breathtaking at all times of the day, and could be enjoyed outside or inside from the living room. Johnathan is an extremely hospitable and welcoming host, he was easy to communicate with, but just the same, fully respected our privacy in the home. He has put together an extensive binder of hikes which we found incredibly helpful when planning our days and hikes based on each of our hiking abilities. 10/10 would stay at this property or another of Johnathan's properties again! We are so grateful for everything he did to make this a memorable celebration for my mom!
