Wolf Pond 1 ONLY 3 Miles to Lake Placid STR-003504
Brad was a great host, he was extremely helpful. The walls were not noise canceling which was not an issue just took some getting used to due to the fact that you could hear the people upstairs conversations. Overall a great place!

Gateway to the Adirondacks on the River “The West”
We had three very nice nights! The apartment was bigger than we anticipated and very well appointed. It’s right on a busy corner, so we heard the snowplows during the night (lots of snow!!), but was otherwise peaceful with the sound of the river. Joe was very flexible with dates when we had to shift because of weather. Thank you for sharing your place with us!

Below the Books, Beside the Lake
Arrived a little later than expected as we had a 6 hour ride. His wife met us at check in to hand off the keys and explain the parking. Park pass lot was right across the street and always had a spot available. The space was perfect. Super clean with a well stocked kitchen. We came to town for a youth hockey tournament so the kitchen was much appreciated after the games. Location was perfect. Walking distance to the Olympic Center and right in the middle of all the shops! Bonus that Starbucks is right across the street! We will be back!

Charming one bedroom apartment on the lake flower!
Fantastic spot, was awesome to come back and visit! The views were amazing! Will definitely be back

River Stone Retreat
The location is perfect with easy access to the Ausable river with brown trout fishing within 100 yards. Meg was friendly and responsive and made sure everything was smooth. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful Adirondack getaway!

Highpeaks Timberloft
My wife and I loved our weeklong stay here. The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay, with a full kitchen, 2 beds, a propane grill, and a comfortable living room. It's right in the middle of some of the best places in the Adirondacks but quiet enough that you feel secluded. We loved being able to hear the Ausable River roar right behind the apartment. The whole town lost power from a storm on our last night, and the hosts were sure to check on us to make sure we had what we needed - we really appreciated that. Looking forward to our next stay!

Night Sky Niche: ADK High Peaks
Betsy is a super host! Let us know about the local area, places to eat and visit, where we can go stargazing which honestly is a must if you come to stay here! She is flexible and accommodating, just communicate with her and she will respond. The airbnb was clean, private, and very cozy! The local area is great with beautiful surroundings. Can't wait to come back to get some more hikes under our belts.

Lake Champlain Private Waterfront Guest Apartment
This lakeside gem was the setting for one of the most restful and beautiful stays we’ve ever had with Airbnb. I loved sitting every morning on their porch to take in the first bit of morning light, and every suggestion made by our host was better than the last. I’ve visited Vermont several times, but I was blown away by all of the hidden treasure suggested by our host - everything from thrift shops to the best cafes. My two kids had a blast here as well. I would highly recommend for couples, families, or friend groups looking to have fun together.

Lakefront House, Lake Flower, Saranac Lake, NY
We have been guests of Lindsay’s for 3 years. We usually stay at one of her other properties but this time there was a group of us and we stayed in the cabin. Everything was great! Location was secluded on lakefront property and there was about 6-8 “ of snow which was an added bonus. Close to everything and would highly recommend to anyone. Great time had by my entire group

Brothers Bay: An Historic Lake Front Farmhouse
William's property is so beautiful. The view of the lake is breathtaking from sunrise to sunset. We enjoyed every meal on the screened in porch surrounded by the beatiful water. The home is so cozy and feels homey yet luxurious. It had eveything we needed. The access to the water from the dock was one of our favorite parts. A lot of wonderful memories were made by the water... swimming, kayaking, watching turtles and fish. It was such a relaxing and peaceful vacation spot and we hope to be able to stay again in the future. We also enjoyed the historical aspect of the property and felt a connection when we visited Fort Ticonderoga, which was minutes away. Our family loved this vacation and this lovely and charming home! Thank you!

The Indian Lake House -lakefront-Hot Tub-Sauna-
We had a great time over a holiday weekend! The house was close to a few places to get necessities and a few places to eat. It was within a half hour to a few ski areas also, which was the main plan of our trip. The house was beautiful and clean. Thr sauna and hot tub were great features of the home. We got a good amount of snow while there and Julian was quick to keep us updated on having the driveway plowed. The area is beautiful wotha lake view. The house had plenty of space and bathrooms for our two families. Everything was clean and in goof shape when we arrived.

Lakefront home-walk downtown, 15 min to Lk Placid
Todd and Amy’s home was perfect for our 4 family ski trip! We really enjoyed having a space to eat meals together, play games, and a good rest! Highly recommend their home for skiing, 30 minutes from Whiteface and 15 from Lake Placid downtown. The house had an amazing view of the lake too!

Beautiful Home, Stunning View!
Our stay was wonderful! The place was spotless, cozy, and just as described. The host was attentive and welcoming. Highly recommend!

The Brook House Downstairs
Tammys place is exactly as advertised. We had a great stay and will be surely coming back.

Ti Mill House
Our experience of Philip's place was great. Easy to get to, get in, find the things we needed. Great amenities, shampoos, soaps, snacks, teas, coffee. Heat was on when we arrived, which made it feel that much more welcoming. Was perfect!

Lakefront retreat w/dock in the Adirondacks
My family and I had an amazing time at Kayleigh’s place! The house was gorgeous, super cozy, and spotless. The game room was a total blast, and the views were breathtaking. Kayleigh is such a great host - friendly, helpful, and very attentive. We will be back in the summer!

Swiss Condo #2 - Water Access STR # 300004
The condo was great! We stayed for a ski weekend and enjoyed the beautiful view of mirror lake, access to the indoor pool and hot tub and easy walk to shops.

Lakeside #1 STR # 200347
It's a beautiful location with plenty of things to do in the area. You do get your money's worth. It's also close to many shopping amenities for those who prefer not to travel by car to buy groceries or medicine. Overall, a great experience!

Adirondack Studio Retreat–Cozy Lake Placid Escape!
Angela was incredibly helpful. She provided quick responses and the property was exactly what it was listed as there were no surprises and everything was beautifully kept.

Harbor 21/ Amazing Views STR# 00213
Condo matches the pictures, but the view is far better than the pictures. Very comfortable space and open floor plan. Kitchen was well stocked, we cooked in a couple nights and had everything we needed to prep meals. Having three full bathrooms was great (we had 4 adults and two kids). Easy walk to the middle of town and all the restaurants/shops, but far enough away that it didn’t feel busy. Coffee on the balcony was an amazing way to start the day. We’ve been going to lake placid for 20+ years and have stayed many places - this is one of the best views we’ve had while still being right in the village. Highly recommended.

Lake front view - modern townhome
Our friend group was looking for a place to stay close to the whiteface mountain and we got super lucky to find Jo’s house! Beautiful house, stylish & super cozy - we felt like at home right away! All this in addition to beautiful surroundings made our trip an unforgettable experience! Each bedroom had a private bathroom and a common bathroom on the first floor which was amazing for a group of 6 people. Showers deserve an additional mention - it was definitely a calming and relaxing experience! Jo is an amazing host. Communication was great, we were given a lot of recommendations about local “must-visit” places. The host is super responsive, kind and understanding! Overall, it was an unforgettable experience at Jo’s place and hopefully we can go there again in the future! we highly recommend it!!

Lakeside 11: A Perfect Getaway at Whiteface Club!
We had a wonderful weekend in Lake Placid with our daughter and family.We had lots of snow, a true winter wonderland. When the sky’s cleared we enjoyed the spectacular views. This is a very comfortable and cozy home. We relaxed by the fireplace. The kitchen is very well stocked so we ate in a couple nights.The whole condo was as clean as can be. We will certainly be back. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Easy living, spectacular view Lake Placid condo
We had a great stay and the location was peaceful and quiet. Access to both lake Placid and mirror lake was easy with paddle boards. It was an easy walk to town as well. The condo was spacious with more than enough space for our group of 7. The kitchen cabinets and appliances as well as bathrooms are dated but all in perfect working order. We would definitely book with Diane in the future.
