Grand Peaks Lodge served as our home base and wedding venue for both ceremony and reception. Gene was a wonderful host and very available and helpful throughout the entire planning process and actual weekend. Our guests enjoyed their stay so much, as did we! Would definitely recommend any of Genes properties for any type of gathering or vacation.

Look no further...this is perfection!
We recently stayed at Grand Peaks Lodge for our 2nd time with 23 family members last year and 21 this year, who range in age from 3-81. No details were overlooked here, the house is clean and stocked with plenty of towels, blankets, pillows, and kitchen essentials! I even found 3 crockpots here! Having 2 of everything in the kitchen really helped with mealtime! There is plenty of room to spread out, plenty for the kids to do in the game room. The hot tubs and fire pit were enjoyed by all! About a 20-25 minute ride to Lake Placid, plenty of outdoor activities in the area. We had such a great stay that we booked our 3rd stay for next year!

Family Reunion
We rented both Grand Peaks and Grand Jay this week. Grand Peaks was the perfect hub for our multigenerational family reunion - 31 of us, ages 2-77. The properties were a quick walk down the road from each other and made gathering so easy. Grand Peaks had more than enough room for us to hang out in, and the huge dining area allowed us to all enjoy many dinners together. The kids all enjoyed the game room, playing ping pong, basketball, foosball and video games. The hot tubs and sauna were also a hit. Lots of things to do in the area, with a quick drive to Lake Placid. Gene was very responsive to any and all questions and was very accommodating. We look forward to returning in the future!

Amazingly spacious house, close to Whiteface
This house was amazing for our large group of 19- everyone had plenty of place with their own bathroom, the kitchen had 2 of everything, and the kids got to have fun with giant sleepovers in the bunk beds. Close to whiteface but a little far from LP which made the desire to go out to dinner after a long day of skiing tough. Host was great and very communicative. Highly recommend for a ski trip with a large group!

Girl’s Weekend
This house was an excellent choice for our group of 24 women. We enjoyed using this house as a home base for all of the activities we did around Lake Placid. It is a 20 minute drive into town, hiking and the amazing High Falls Gorge. The hot tubs and sauna were perfect after a long day of shopping or hiking. The long dining room table allowed us to all sit together during meals and games. Two of us utilized the EV charger in the garage (Tesla and Plug-in Audi). That was an added bonus to our trip. Gene was an excellent host - always quick to respond to inquiries. We have already booked our 3rd year at this awesome house

Wedding of our dreams
We stayed at Gene’s place with our friends and family for our wedding. We set up a tent in the backyard and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Gene recommended our caterer, Jonathan, who set up in the garage and kitchen and serviced our wedding phenomenally. We put up the bridal party in the house for 4 nights and everyone raved about how much fun they had. The house was spotless. The amenities were awesome, we never got bored and never even ended up touching the lawn games or other things we had brought to do because the house was full of fun things- Rock Band, the sauna, hot tubs, multiple fireplaces, ping pong table and other games. The kitchen and huge dining room table were the perfect space for our rehearsal dinner and brunch after the wedding. We booked two of Gene’s other properties right near by and our families stayed in those. They all haven’t stopped talking about what a great weekend it was. Highly recommend and if you’re thinking about a wedding- do it, you will not regret it!!

Great FAMILY -that- Loves -outdoors vacation home
Our family of 12 adults and 11 kids ages1-12 years had plenty of room to spread out for sleeping , spacious kitchen where we all had plenty of room to prepare, cook and eat, fantastic open back yard for lots of fun games and activities, an abundance of hiking trails, and creeks and rivers for playing and fishing. Gene, the homeowner, was kind, efficient, easy to reach by text or phone call, and helpful all along the way. The campfire pit outback provided nightly opportunities for us sit around fire and talk, laugh, play guitar, sing and enjoy special times with our children and grandchildren. In case you choose to hike or fish in an area where Black Flies are present ,Springtime , I’d suggest bringing long-sleeve and net head covering. Lavender seems to repel them for a time as well. The flies were NOT at the house or anywhere in that immediate area though. Great TRIP GREAT HOME

23 girlfriends and I had a TERRIFIC weekend away in Upper Jay thanks to Gene and his team. Communication was always open, quick and helpful. The property was in great condition and extremely clean, including both hot tubs and the sauna. This property also had everything we needed, from extra towels, spices, coffee pods, and all the glassware and pots and pans one might need to cook for such a large group. We also benefitted from all the games in the rec room, so fun! Everything was smooth from the very beginning which helped to make the overall experience very enjoyable.

Fantastic, effortless experience
Gene was extremely helpful and really went the extra mile getting us set for our stay. When you plan a get together with a big group with so many moving parts and schedules, the last thing you want is for a complicated rental experience. High Peaks Rentals was a breeze from start to finish. This property is every bit as amazing as it looks. Cozy space, but plenty of room to spread out and enough privacy and comfort for everybody. Every room and amenity is well thought out and designed with big groups in mind, the fire pits, game room and hot tubs were a big hit. Something for everyone to enjoy. It snowed about a foot, and driveway and private road were maintained well. Access to garage bays helped to keep vehicles out of the way for snow maintenance. Beautiful views, and easy drive to Whiteface. We will be back!

Annual Xmas Ski Trip Gift
For Christmas, we take our “children “ (all four married With growing families of their own) away for a ski trip. Last year I found this “to be built” property that sounded too good to be true. It listed 3 master suites (which our two moms with children put dibs on, and of course the largest master for my husband and I) and 5 additional bedrooms with connecting bathrooms. A total of 7 FULL bathrooms and two half bathrooms off the living room area. The kitchen is to die for. It’s actually two complete kitchens with double of every single appliance u could ever dream of. I don’t have enough space here to detail everything this house offers. And the attention to detail the owner had when building this home was over the top. Color palette, texture, comfort, quality of fixtures and materials used, nothing short of what you would dream of if building this home for yourself. We had five family units living so comfortably together. Having a 15 month old and a 5 month old and no one was disturbed or inconvenienced. (I haven’t even mentioned the game Room and den on the lower level with the sauna and two hot tubs). We had 9 adults and the two grandchildren. We have already booked next year and know we will have a third grandchild with us on that trip. Looking ahead, we could have ten more grandchildren and still fit comfortably in this home We have thoroughly been spoiled and cannot imagine staying at anywhere else. Gene was such a gracious host and always available. THANK YOU!

Winter Wedding Weekend at the Lodge
We had a magical experience at the lodge. With our closest family and friends standing around an outdoor fire and misty mountains in the background, we had a simply beautiful wedding ceremony right in the backyard of the lodge. The scenery is so beautiful, no further decorations were needed; the same goes for the interior of the lodge. Everything we wanted and more was inside: convenient double kitchen for larger groups (fully stocked), luxury bathrooms, fun rec room for playing games, sauna to relax in and awesome hot tubs as well. The check in process and communication with the owner has been so easy. We would absolutely love to come back!!
