We enjoyed our stay at this quaint and comfortable house. We were in town for a wedding and it was close to the venue while offering a relaxing place for my family to stay. It was clean and provided all that we needed. I would stay again.

Family Vacation in Adirondacks

House was great on all fronts. We have stayed at many VRBO and this was the cleanest of them all. The property was well kept. The location was great for all the many trips we took in the ADK. Would highly recommend and would book again if we ever come back to the region

A lovely home and property that feels like a country getaway, but is still close to all amenities. Kitchen is spacious, and A/C is available in all rooms. We loved relaxing on the front porch with our two doggies. We only used the 1st floor bedroom for, but there were additional rooms and a bathroom upstairs.The host was responsive and check in/out was easy. Next time we visit the area this will be the number one place to stay! We cannot recommend this property and the host enough!

Absolutely perfect!

My family was looking for something quiet away from the city and this hit all the boxes! A perfect location. The house was clean, comfortable and had a great yard and porch where we spent most of our time. Planning on coming back over and over.

Thanksgiving Retreat

My family spent Thanksgiving at the wonderful property. The house came with everything we needed and more! It was super clean and very well decorated. It snowed while we were there and the owners kept the drive and walkways clear. Our dog enjoyed running free on the large property as well! Thank you so much for the wonderful holiday memories!

Although this is the first rental I’ve personally done, I have stayed in others rented by family members. This property is the best I’ve stayed at. The house was lovely, as was the property in general. The thing that constantly is astounded me, however, was how the property owner just seemed to have everything I needed. Every time I thought I was missing something I would look around, hoping they might have something I could use and was always happily surprised that they had exactly what I needed. That alone made the stay very enjoyable. The drive to most places we wanted to go was less than 30 minutes, which was very nice. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a stay in the Adirondacks.
