Property was perfect for a weekend of hiking, photography, and R&R. Everything was very clean and well appointed. Owner was friendly, communicative, and made sure we had all the info we would need to have a great stay. My only criticism would be to add some reflectors to the end of the driveway to make it easier to find at night.

It was a fun weekend with my Sisters! The house is beautiful and we used the HUGE wraparound porch for morning yoga. Chris, the owner was quick to respond to my questions before we arrived. I would recommend this home in the Lake Placid area

Despite the previous renters having a party, the house was in great condition! Super clean! The renter had excellent communication and the stay was amazing! Could not have asked for a better price to stay! Check in was a breeze. And the kitchen has anything you would need.

What a beautiful place! It accommodated everyone comfortably with adequate privacy when needed. The detail put into this house was amazing. We were able to enjoy the fantastic views just sitting on the porch. The trails on the property and surrounding area were beautiful. About 25 minutes from Lake Placid. Highly recommend this place.

Great Retreat!!

Everything about this property was top-notch, from the location to the Adirondack style, to the thoughtful touches throughout. The location in Keene is just a very short ride to Lake Placid, but honestly we didn’t stray too far from home base. There are so many hiking trails nearby, with lovely shops and markets as well. We stocked up on groceries in Saranac Lake at the Aldi there, so didn’t even have to go out for meals. We would highly recommend this home!!

Amazing Keene Chalet

This was an amazing property! It was clean, beautiful, spacious and well appointed. It was perfect for our extended family that included 2 small children and 6 adults. We enjoyed the sound system, the fireplace and the fabulous kitchen. The decor was so tasteful and perfect for a mountain home. We’d love to stay there again!

Great Stay

My family and I had a wonderful stay here. The property is very nice and the owner was the most responsive I’ve experienced. The pictures are very accurate, and the interiors are absolutely lovely and very comfortable. All the amenities you could ever want. Great spot for a family get together. The check in process was simple and the owner provided a very helpful property book that explained everything prior to trip.
