Gateway to the Adirondacks on the River “The West”
We had three very nice nights! The apartment was bigger than we anticipated and very well appointed. It’s right on a busy corner, so we heard the snowplows during the night (lots of snow!!), but was otherwise peaceful with the sound of the river. Joe was very flexible with dates when we had to shift because of weather. Thank you for sharing your place with us!

Below the Books, Beside the Lake
Arrived a little later than expected as we had a 6 hour ride. His wife met us at check in to hand off the keys and explain the parking. Park pass lot was right across the street and always had a spot available. The space was perfect. Super clean with a well stocked kitchen. We came to town for a youth hockey tournament so the kitchen was much appreciated after the games. Location was perfect. Walking distance to the Olympic Center and right in the middle of all the shops! Bonus that Starbucks is right across the street! We will be back!

Charming one bedroom apartment on the lake flower!
Fantastic spot, was awesome to come back and visit! The views were amazing! Will definitely be back

River Stone Retreat
The location is perfect with easy access to the Ausable river with brown trout fishing within 100 yards. Meg was friendly and responsive and made sure everything was smooth. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful Adirondack getaway!

Highpeaks Timberloft
My wife and I loved our weeklong stay here. The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay, with a full kitchen, 2 beds, a propane grill, and a comfortable living room. It's right in the middle of some of the best places in the Adirondacks but quiet enough that you feel secluded. We loved being able to hear the Ausable River roar right behind the apartment. The whole town lost power from a storm on our last night, and the hosts were sure to check on us to make sure we had what we needed - we really appreciated that. Looking forward to our next stay!

LoZa House Coastal Lakefront Luxe w Stellar Views
Stayed for a few days with my family and it was an amazing experience from beginning to end! The house was absolutely spotless, the host & family were very friendly and helpful. We loved it-definitely recommend! And will most certainly try to come back again! Thank you again you guys! We had a great time!!

Night Sky Niche: ADK High Peaks
Betsy is a super host! Let us know about the local area, places to eat and visit, where we can go stargazing which honestly is a must if you come to stay here! She is flexible and accommodating, just communicate with her and she will respond. The airbnb was clean, private, and very cozy! The local area is great with beautiful surroundings. Can't wait to come back to get some more hikes under our belts.

Lovely 1 Bedroom Near Whiteface on the River

Lakefront home-walk downtown, 15 min to Lk Placid
Our group has stayed at Todd & Amy's multiple times for our hiking trips and always have been happy with the property as well as the responsiveness of the hosts.

Luxury Waterfront Home in Lake Placid - Otter Way
Shauna’s home was well maintained, clean, and well stocked with the essentials. We had a large party, and everyone was able to hang out together but also find smaller spaces for quiet time. It is very close to town, while also being an easy 20 minute drive from Whiteface. We would love to stay again!

Wolf Pond House 3 Miles to Lake Placid STR-003504
It is my pleasure to recommend Brad's house in Lake Placid / Saranac. I travel there every year with a group of friends for hiking and skiing, and this was the perfect spot for us to stay. The house was easy to find and more than large enough to fit us all. Brad's instructions were very clear and he was responsive to all messages I sent over the course of the stay.

Beautiful Home, Stunning View!
Enjoyed our stay at Judi’s home. The views from the back deck were amazing as well as the views from the living room and dining room. Plenty of space for family and friends and dogs as well 🐕🐕🐕 Great host highly recommended Thank you!!!!

Waterfront, Hot tub, Pet friendly, 5min-White face
Had a great mini getaway with my siblings here. Even though the weather wasn’t perfect it was still nice to enjoy the outside with a stunning view. Clean cozy home with space for the 6 of us, pet friendly. Host was quick to return my call when I was confused about getting in upon arrival. Will mention this space does have neighbors fairly close & limited parking, not a problem for us but could see where others may find that a bother. Hopefully we can return and stay agin in the future!

The Brook House Downstairs
Great home base for ADK adventures. Will definitely book again!

Wilmington Range Log Cabin on the AuSable River
Amazing place! We loved it and would love to come back 🙌

Tupper Beauty
Great house. We were there for a golf tournament and the course is at the top of the road, so it was a perfect location for us.
Waterfront condo rentals

Wolf Jaw Lodge u61 - Lake Views!
My family and I had an awesome time. Great location. Love the sauna. Will definitely come back.

Swiss Condo #2 - Water Access STR # 300004
The condo was great! We stayed for a ski weekend and enjoyed the beautiful view of mirror lake, access to the indoor pool and hot tub and easy walk to shops.

Lakeside #1 STR # 200347
It's a beautiful location with plenty of things to do in the area. You do get your money's worth. It's also close to many shopping amenities for those who prefer not to travel by car to buy groceries or medicine. Overall, a great experience!

Adirondack Studio Retreat–Cozy Lake Placid Escape!
Angela was incredibly helpful. She provided quick responses and the property was exactly what it was listed as there were no surprises and everything was beautifully kept.

Harbor 21/ Amazing Views STR# 00213
Condo matches the pictures, but the view is far better than the pictures. Very comfortable space and open floor plan. Kitchen was well stocked, we cooked in a couple nights and had everything we needed to prep meals. Having three full bathrooms was great (we had 4 adults and two kids). Easy walk to the middle of town and all the restaurants/shops, but far enough away that it didn’t feel busy. Coffee on the balcony was an amazing way to start the day. We’ve been going to lake placid for 20+ years and have stayed many places - this is one of the best views we’ve had while still being right in the village. Highly recommended.

Lakefront Retreat, Hot Tub, 5 mins to Whiteface
Our friend group was looking for a place to stay close to the whiteface mountain and we got super lucky to find Jo’s house! Beautiful house, stylish & super cozy - we felt like at home right away! All this in addition to beautiful surroundings made our trip an unforgettable experience! Each bedroom had a private bathroom and a common bathroom on the first floor which was amazing for a group of 6 people. Showers deserve an additional mention - it was definitely a calming and relaxing experience! Jo is an amazing host. Communication was great, we were given a lot of recommendations about local “must-visit” places. The host is super responsive, kind and understanding! Overall, it was an unforgettable experience at Jo’s place and hopefully we can go there again in the future! we highly recommend it!!

Easy living, spectacular view Lake Placid condo
We had a great stay and the location was peaceful and quiet. Access to both lake Placid and mirror lake was easy with paddle boards. It was an easy walk to town as well. The condo was spacious with more than enough space for our group of 7. The kitchen cabinets and appliances as well as bathrooms are dated but all in perfect working order. We would definitely book with Diane in the future.

Cozy & Comfortable ADK Condo
Second time staying here for a family rendezvous weekend. Would recommend to anyone! Condo was very clean. It is in a great location near shopping, skiing, and restaurants. We had a great weekend!
