Best Lake Placid VRBO
We decided to go away for Christmas this year and stayed at this lovely home! I was hesitant to be away for Christmas day, but found John’s home to be the perfect “home away from home” for our family! Great location, immaculate unit, and it had everything from a stocked kitchen to cozy bedrooms to make our stay perfect! My family will always remember this as one of our favorite Christmas experiences. We had fun iceskating, cross country skiing and downhill at Whiteface. We can’t wait to return!!!

Beautiful House - Good Location
We had an excellent experience at this house! The house was well-maintained, providing a clean and comfortable place throughout our stay. The location was perfect with just a short distance (about 5 min) from town, making it easy to explore local restaurants and shops. The communication with the host was smooth and prompt. They were very responsive and made sure all our needs were met. We appreciated the thoughtful touches in the home that made it feel welcoming and cozy. Overall, we highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a convenient, comfortable, and hassle-free stay. We would definitely return!

Eclipse viewing
We stayed four nights during the recent eclipse. The house was perfect for this. Lake Placid was very crowded, We could walk downtown with needing a car, or stay at the house away from the crowds. The home is very inviting day and night, with comfortable beds and nice kitchen. The living room allowed for comfortable conversation, or collective TV viewing. There was a recreation room downstairs that would have been great for kids, but we never used it. Very nice place.

My friends and I frequent Lake Placid several times a year and this is the first rental that truly felt like a home away from home. It is exactly like the photos; warm, bright and inviting. John is communicable, knowledgeable about the area and was very accommodating. All around, our stay was wonderful. This is going to be our 1st pick for future stays in LP.

Clean and relaxing stay
This vacation home had all the comforts of home. The host was very generous in keeping supplies stocked for guests to use upon arrival. I also have to compliment the cleaning crew, John has found a very thorough crew! I felt more comfortable in this home than I have during previous VRBO stays. We enjoyed all of the local restaurants within walking distance, but the kitchen is fully stocked with any pot, pan, or utensil you could need. The house was perfect for our group of 6 with room for more.

Family ski trip
Had a wonderful stay with my family, the house was beautiful, spacious and very clean. Great location, walking distance to Main St in Lake Placid and many shops, restaurants and Olympic Village. It's a short drive to Whiteface Mountain or you can easily take the shuttle that picks up at Crowne Plaza 2 blocks from the house. Garage was very convenient for storing ski and snow gear throughout our stay. My nephews loved the play room and bunk room. Many board games and puzzles to enjoy a cozy night in after skiing at Whiteface. The house had everything we needed. John was so friendly, always available if we had any questions about the house and very knowledgeable about things to do in the surrounding area. We hope to return next year!

Perfect house and location!
We visit Lake Placid every winter and were so happy to see that John and Heather’s home was available on our dates this year as we stayed there 2 years ago and just loved it! The house is exactly as described and is in a perfect location; easy walk into town for shopping and restaurants. The house has everything you need and the kids loved the tv/playroom on the ground floor. It’s clean, and the beds are super comfy. John is super responsive and kept checking in to make sure we were good and answered all our questions right away. We will definitely be back!!!

Beautiful Clean Home, Fantastic Location, Helpful Hosts
This is hands down the cleanest and most well-appointed rental we've ever enjoyed visiting! What a pleasure. The lovely furniture, quality beds/linens, user friendly kitchen, up to-date fixtures and extras like games/puzzles, movies, foosball/darts/wii/etc. made for a pleasant getaway for our family of 6. Although the weather was chilly and rainy for our weekend visit to Lake Placid, we could retreat to this cozy haven and sit by the fire, enjoy a good meal and relish in the change of pace. Our children loved the house too, especially the basement rec room area. We were in town for our sons' speed cubing competition at a local resort, so we were in and out frequently for various events associated with that. This location provided easy walking to coffee shops, retail, restaurants, Olympic sights, Mirror Lake - all the THINGS! Thank you John/host for your clear communication and responsiveness. We will be back!

Great Weekend Getaway
Love the Adirondacks and had not yet been to Lake Placid in the Fall. John was super responsive when we booked his home for the weekend. He made sure the house was clean inside and out as the leaves were falling! He also left a gift in the fridge as we were there to race the Lake Placid Classic Half Marathon. He was super thoughtful and responsive the entire weekend when we had a few questions about the house.

Great Lake Placid rental!
We had an amazing Adirondack vacation while staying here. The house is fabulous, and had everything we needed for two families (4 adults and 3 kids). The kitchen is large and there are many places to sit and share a meal -- the countertop bar or the large dining room table. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are all nicely furnished and have everything you need. The bathrooms are updated. The living space is lovely -- a gas fireplace, TV with all the streaming platforms, and a great sound system. And the basement area game room was super with kids! There is also a washer and dryer, which is helpful after Adirondack adventures. The location is very convenient, and the neighborhood is quiet. The neighbors (especially the 4-legged ones) are very friendly. Highly recommend this rental. It is worth every penny!

great area - terrible service
upon check-in, we checked the property and it all around was a fantastic place. Great home and great layout. The day of check in, when trying to use the shower, we place a towel on the commonly used towel rack that fell right out of the wall. After telling the owner about this and being told that it’ll be taken care of, we were charged. We of course respect the 10am check out time, and though we had left not too long after that (from cleaning up and taking out the trash) the owner arrived, alone, stating that housekeeping was going to be late so it was not an issue. (We were also charged for this). I was contacted an hour after checking out stating that they cannot find a “$500 remote” which we’d be charged for, just for it to be found on the floor of the room. I, myself, am in the hospitality business and ownership so I understand the frustrations of letting someone use your home is a disrespectful way. But the way we were spoken to and charged for unnecessary conditions after checking out just shows the lack of respect from the management of this property.

Great Stay, Perfect Location in Lake Placid!
We really enjoyed our stay, John and Heather are excellent hosts and the house was perfect. The location is close to town, the house was spotless, spacious for our group of 7, and had everything that we needed. The first floor with the large kitchen, dining room, and living room with fireplace allowed everyone to gather for meals and to catch up at the end of the day with plenty of room, and the kids absolutely loved the basement TV/game room. We visit Lake Placid often and this was our first time in a house, we usually stay at Whiteface Lodge. We chose this house because of it's proximity to town and because it looked cozy for our winter trip this year. Overall, it was perfect, we'd highly recommend it.
