Amazing, very comfortable home for a weekend stay (or longer) -- we had 6 adults and never felt cramped! Perfect location close to town, and John is the consummate host, from communication at the start all the way through, plus he and his wife have compiled an AMAZING list of Things to do for every season in Lake Placid. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We too had a great stay! The house is beautifully decorated, immaculate, uncluttered and comfortable. It is perfectly set up for winter weather and skiing, with an easy garage entry and space for gear downstairs. The kitchen, bedrooms and family room are also all so well thought out and inviting. My sons loved the game room. John was easily reachable by phone and text and made sure we had everything we needed for an enjoyable few days, including activity, dining and general area recommendations.

Great house in the middle of Lake Placid.

We had a great stay in Lake Placid. The house was beautiful and perfectly located just a couple blocks off of main street. We enjoyed our stay. The host, John, was available and very helpful.

Awesome home in Lake Placid

This house is well located, easy to access downtown. The host is awesome, called me as soon as I booked. He provided lots of details on restaurants, hikes, things to do. Was super helpful during my stay. I would highly recommend this property. Probably one of the best hosts I've ever had for a VRBO rental.

Great Access to Lake Placid

The property was perfect for our family of 4 adults and 2 children. It was impeccably clean, well put together and decorated, and came with everything we needed for the week, including cookies!! The host provided helpful tips not only for use of the property, but with great suggestions for what to do and see in Lake Placid and surrounding areas as well as good restaurants! We were very pleased!

About the host

Hosted by John Rudick

Host profile image
Saratoga, NY natives and Mountain lovers found ourselves in love with Lake Placid. After too many trips we realized it was time to buy our first Getaway in 2004 to share our home and experiences in Lake Placid with renters looking for a similar Getaway. After over 100 renters and 100 percent 5 star reviews we have found that our guests have just as much excitement for the town as us and enjoy exploring, learning about the area from insiders and appreciate the little things that make for a great trip.

Why they chose this property

Our other property was perfect! This property is amazing and grand. Not too big, just open and relaxing. This home offers so much room for entertaining. The extra garage spaces and large room off the garage is very accommodating for all the gear and service we do on our skis, bikes, etc.

What makes this property unique

Privacy while still in town. We are 5 minutes walking distance to ANYTHING in Lake Placid, but our large lot, trees and no street lights provide supreme peace when sleeping.
