Great location and access to the private beach was amazing, especially with kids. The ability to walk into town was appreciated and having an enclosed yard was perfect for our dogs. Easy communication.

Walked in to a beautiful kitchen/living room space, the king bed so comfortable and we loved the fireplace. The backyard was a perfect sitting area and the private beach access was perfect. We loved walking our 2 labs around the circle, and letting them take a dip in the lake. We’d like to come back for ski season. Just note, the gate on the fence wasn’t very secure and some basic toiletries like shampoo would have been helpful. An excellent weekend away, thank you!

The property was clean and in a great location. We have stayed in Lake Placid many times and at other rentals. We were disappointed in the sparse amount of some essential housekeeping items ( toilet paper, dishwasher pods, detergent, etc.) If we had known this prior to arrival, we would have come more prepared.

Just Right!

The beautiful renovation of this property maximizes the space making it a perfect fit for our family of six. We actually felt like we could have had two more people join us but the property rules state max of six. Thank you for allowing our family to make some great memories. The access to the beach was a great bonus.

We had a great stay at this pet-friendly house and communication with the host was super easy and flexible! Very clean, comfy beds and fenced yard for our dogs. Short walk to the private beach access was great. The distance to town was a bit farther of a walk for our young kids than we thought when booking, it was at least 20 minutes walk into the main st of town on either side of the lake, but still very conveniant.

Lovely home, great back patio w nice location.

This is our third time renting this home, yes we are reserved for next year as well. The home is well appointed with a n open floor plan and very clean. Beds are comfy and the kitchen is well stocked. The patio is nice. The grill works great and evenings with the gas fire pit are wonderful. This was the first time we brought our two labs. We appreciated the fenced yard and the pups loved swimming each morning in Mirror Lake. Carrie was very responsive and helpful.
