Highly Recommend Rustic Retreat!

I can't recommend Rustic Retreat enough for a stay in Lake Placid. Comfortable, cozy and very clean. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the necessities. There was more than enough room for our party of six to spread out and relax and we all loved hanging out in the main floor living room with the wonderful fireplace. Colleen was great to deal with and her welcome package is very informative. Located just outside of downtown Lake Placid, it is very convenient to all of the Olympic venues as well as getting to the surrounding towns in the area. Definitely a great place to stay!

This is our second time staying here. Once again it exceeded our expectations. The condo is gorgeous and impeccably clean. The kitchen had everything we needed. The fireplace in the living was so cozy for our family game nights. Everyone had a great time. We are already talking about going back next year!

Wonderful stay

We loved our stay at this centrally located townhouse. Everything was decorated beautifully and the place was sparkling clean. It had everything you could think of for a long weekend away. My teens enjoyed the finished lower level and we all had plenty of room to relax after skiing. Easy check in and check out. We’ve rented several places in Lake Placid and this one was top notch! Thank you Colleen!

Super Clean and Spacious!

Our family came in for a lacrosse tournament. We have been coming for many years trying to find the perfect place and this one is by far the best!! We had never stayed at a townhouse before because we like our privacy and also don’t want to worry about noise from other groups. However we were delightfully surprised! It was a very quiet townhouse community away from the busyness of town with woods and lots of grassy areas as well. Even though it wasn’t walkable to Main Street with Grandma (80), it was just minutes away by car and very close to the athletic fields. The unit had everything you would need, especially for cooking. We are foodies that like to cook and the cookware was top of the line. We were very impressed. Our college aged kids loved the separate family room in the finished basement along with their own bedroom and full bath. Colleen was easy to communicate with and check in was easy. Instructions regarding the unit were all easy to follow. We would definitely love to stay again!

Great family getaway

We went to Lake Placid to celebrate our daughter’s birthday for a fun family ski weekend. The weather was absolutely freezing but the home was warm and inviting. We have rented several homes in LP. This was by far the best!! Our hosts were incredibly helpful and kind. We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed staying at this cozy, well appointed house near downtown Lake Placid. The house was clean and decorated beautifully. Furniture and appliances were high quality and the kitchen was well stocked and had nice amenities. Everything was well marked and any questions were anticipated and were addressed in the notes.

Tranquility

We stayed at Rustic Retreat for a week. The house and neighborhood are very peaceful and easy to settle into. It was immaculate, and I am very hard to please! Everything was well equipped, down to coffee, sugar and creamer for the Keurig. Our only minor complaint was that it was a very warm week in Lake Placid and the complex does not have air conditioning. But there are ceiling fans, and once we opened the windows the Adirondack breeze started cooling things down. Overall a wonderful stay!

Great summer stay at "Antlers"

We named this beautiful condo "Antlers" after the amazing chandelier in the great room. Our group of five adults enjoyed the well-appointed kitchen and very comfortable bedrooms and common areas. It was a perfect place to stay--a quiet, rural setting yet close to town. We had several hiking adventures around Lake Placid and we took short trips into town for shopping and dining at some excellent restaurants, including Smoke Signals, Luna, Mr. Mike's Pizza, and 46 Sandwiches. The nearby John Brown Farm State Historic Site is a great place to learn about the history of this influential abolitionist.

Fantastic Condo close to downtown.

The Rustic Getaway if fantastic! The condo is totally updated, very cozy and comfy with an adirondack theme throughout. Very well done. There were 5 of us and it was very spacious. Each had our own bedroom and bathroom. Colleen was very easy to communicate with and check in is easy. The condo kitchen is fully equipment if you chose to dine in a few night like we did. It is located by the ski jumps so just a bid outside of main street. We loved the location. I Highly recommend this condo!
