This was the first time in five years of visiting Lake Placid that we rented someone’s home. We won the lottery with this gorgeous house with its spacious rooms, luxury fixtures, fully stocked kitchen, laundry room, game room, vaulted ceilings, clean beds, linens, furniture and perfect location. John welcomed us by phone and was true to his word that he would be a text away. He offered detailed advice about outdoor activities, restaurants, coffee shops, and grocery stores. The list he had been building for years went to great use! We hope to return in the coming years!

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!

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.

Best Lake Placid VRBO

We decided to go away for Christmas this year and stayed at this lovely home! I was hesitant to be away for Christmas day, but found John’s home to be the perfect “home away from home” for our family! Great location, immaculate unit, and it had everything from a stocked kitchen to cozy bedrooms to make our stay perfect! My family will always remember this as one of our favorite Christmas experiences. We had fun iceskating, cross country skiing and downhill at Whiteface. We can’t wait to return!!!

Beautiful House - Good Location

We had an excellent experience at this house! The house was well-maintained, providing a clean and comfortable place throughout our stay. The location was perfect with just a short distance (about 5 min) from town, making it easy to explore local restaurants and shops. The communication with the host was smooth and prompt. They were very responsive and made sure all our needs were met. We appreciated the thoughtful touches in the home that made it feel welcoming and cozy. Overall, we highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a convenient, comfortable, and hassle-free stay. We would definitely return!

Eclipse viewing

We stayed four nights during the recent eclipse. The house was perfect for this. Lake Placid was very crowded, We could walk downtown with needing a car, or stay at the house away from the crowds. The home is very inviting day and night, with comfortable beds and nice kitchen. The living room allowed for comfortable conversation, or collective TV viewing. There was a recreation room downstairs that would have been great for kids, but we never used it. Very nice place.

My friends and I frequent Lake Placid several times a year and this is the first rental that truly felt like a home away from home. It is exactly like the photos; warm, bright and inviting. John is communicable, knowledgeable about the area and was very accommodating. All around, our stay was wonderful. This is going to be our 1st pick for future stays in LP.

Clean and relaxing stay

This vacation home had all the comforts of home. The host was very generous in keeping supplies stocked for guests to use upon arrival. I also have to compliment the cleaning crew, John has found a very thorough crew! I felt more comfortable in this home than I have during previous VRBO stays. We enjoyed all of the local restaurants within walking distance, but the kitchen is fully stocked with any pot, pan, or utensil you could need. The house was perfect for our group of 6 with room for more.

Family ski trip

Had a wonderful stay with my family, the house was beautiful, spacious and very clean. Great location, walking distance to Main St in Lake Placid and many shops, restaurants and Olympic Village. It's a short drive to Whiteface Mountain or you can easily take the shuttle that picks up at Crowne Plaza 2 blocks from the house. Garage was very convenient for storing ski and snow gear throughout our stay. My nephews loved the play room and bunk room. Many board games and puzzles to enjoy a cozy night in after skiing at Whiteface. The house had everything we needed. John was so friendly, always available if we had any questions about the house and very knowledgeable about things to do in the surrounding area. We hope to return next year!

Perfect house and location!

We visit Lake Placid every winter and were so happy to see that John and Heather’s home was available on our dates this year as we stayed there 2 years ago and just loved it! The house is exactly as described and is in a perfect location; easy walk into town for shopping and restaurants. The house has everything you need and the kids loved the tv/playroom on the ground floor. It’s clean, and the beds are super comfy. John is super responsive and kept checking in to make sure we were good and answered all our questions right away. We will definitely be back!!!
