First 4th of July in Lake Placid

The house was wonderful. Looked exactly like the pictures. We didnt get out on the pond because we had to climb mountains instead. I wish we had better firewood, the stuff we bought would not burn. Love the giant beanbag chairs. I fell asleep in one. The whole group loved the house. Cant wait for our next visit. We would definitely stay here again. Easy to get to and close to everything!!
Saying goodbye was tough.

Wonderful property close to town

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was cozy and well-appointed. The location was great, within walking distance to town and within easy driving distance of great hiking. The kayaks and SUP were fun and the sauna a special treat. We would definitely stay again!

waterfront property with great amenities, walking distance to village

We loved the outside of the property: flowers, plants, Adirondack chairs, raspberry bushes, dock with a view of the serene Chubb pond. Interior: clean, plush carpeting upstairs, spacious bathrooms, nice bedding, and large picture windows in the living room overlooking the pond.

Great house and great location

Overall a great place to stay and a great location. The house has been renovated and is bright and airy. One suggestion I have (which is why I gave it 4 stars) is that the stairs did not have a railing. For safety I suggest you add.

Great location, fun place to stay. Easy.

Great location, beautiful view, we enjoyed the pond and kayaking, and the gardens! Raspberries were ripe - what a treat. Downstairs was spacious and comfortable. Bedrooms are small but fully adequate and all have cross breeze. Wish I had known the fridge and oven are not full size - would have adjusted my plans a bit. Outside Grill worked great. Communication with owner was positive and responsive. Overall a positive experience and we would stay here again.

Thank you Bridget and Terry for having us. We had a great time at your house, which is well kept and equipped. Peaceful and beautiful views of laguna. We loved fishing, playing crochet or just relaxing around the fireplace. Weather was a bit cold so sauna was a big plus. We’d love staying here next year.

Great location and amenities! Loved our stay!

We had a great stay in Lake Placid. The house was clean and ready for our arrival, with all the relevant information easily accessible. We loved having the kayaks and being able to use them right from the house. We enjoyed using the fire pit and the sauna throughout our stay. We easily walked to town for shopping and dinners. The house and grounds were well-maintained with beautiful flower beds. Bridget and Terry did a great job providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Thank you!

Relaxing end to the summer

We had a fantastic time in Lake Placid. The kids had plenty to do in a safe environment. They spent a lot of time running around the front yard, fishing off the dock, and of course, playing with the nerf guns. We took evening trips out on the river with the kayaks that were provided at the house. The fire pit was also a hit at night. It was clean, had everything we needed, and was big enough to give us space as necessary. All in all, a great place to stay.

Wonderful time, everything you could want, very peaceful

Everything you could want in a vacation home with a very good location. Our family had a wonderful time in this home. Everything you need is here. There were plenty of paddle boards, kayaks and boats to keep everyone in our family happy as well as many outdoor games, a fire pit, and beautiful scenery. We have 4 kids and they were all entertained for the entire stay. Walking to town was about a half mile walk and you are in a great location. The house was very clean and the kitchen was very well stocked with pans, waffle maker, fondue pot, etc... I would highly recommend this property if you are thinking of staying in Lake Placid.

Great vacation spot

We had a wonderful time staying here. We came for a lacrosse tournament and added on a few extra days to enjoy the area. The location is perfect. It only took us a few minutes to drive anywhere we wanted to go and it was about a 20 minute walk to downtown. We mostly drove and parked since we had a little one, which was never an issue. The house had everything we needed and we loved having the SUP and kayaks. We were on the pond everyday! Each morning we would see the groundhogs munching flowers in the yard, ducklings with their parents floating in the pond and lots of birds flying around. We even saw a deer walking through the yard one morning. Some of the restaurants we recommend are Lisa G’s (walking distance), Big Mountain Deli & Creperie, Soulshine Bagel Shop, Origin Coffee and The Cottage Restaurant. Thank you for a great week!!

Great spot

I loved the location and feel of this house. It was everything we wanted and more. Having the pond right there was a delight. Main St. was a short walk. I would have given 5 stars but for few reasons. The fridge was way too small, this should be replaced with a regular sized fridge. We brought food with us and did not have enough room to store everything. We did have to go get a couple coolers with ice. We stayed during a very humid hot spell and while most times in LP you don't need air, we needed something extra. The ceiling fans were not enough. There was one extra box fan but that was broken. We went and bought 4 box fans and that seemed to do the trick on the intolerable days. The purple bedroom has no bed frame and no where to really put clothes. The cabinet that's in that room is more of a towel closet. I think one 4 drawer dresser and metal bed frame would be perfect. The Internet was really only good if you are in the living room or kitchen. We think the metal roof blocks the signal in the bedroom area. Even with these minor issues, we loved staying here and will try to come back.

True to name

This home is true to its name, so peaceful yet in walking distance to everything. We enjoyed the kayaks and SUP, the wild raspberries, and open kitchen and family room. It was a great jumping off point to visit all the Olympic sites, high peaks, Wilmington flume, and downtown restaurants and shops. We were lucky enough to enjoy the free music venue in the park on Mirror lake (Tuesday evenings). We would definitely stay again!

Great house in a perfect location

This was the second major stop on our family roadtrip and it was just right. The house had plenty of room for our family of 5 to stretch out and relax, and came equipped with everything we needed to feel at home. We’re enjoyed the special touches in the decor that highlighted the Olympics. We were only there for three nights, and with all the exploring we did of the area (and a day trip to Montreal), we really didn’t get to enjoy the pond activities much. The view of the pond from the house was perfect, though. During our stay, there was construction going on at the property next door, but it didn’t really cause any issues. The workers were courteous, but did start work early. The communication with the hosts prior to our visit was good.

ADK Stay In Late June in Lake Placid

Great location close to all Lake Placid attractions. Very clean! House has all the necessities. Grill was clean and easy to use. Three adults each had clean spacious rooms. Nice having a bag of coffee and vacuum packed milk upon check-in. A/C would be nice on hot Summer days/ nights. Box and ceiling fans did help. Paddling in the kayaks was great! We’ll definitely be back. Thank you!
