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!!!

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.

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!!!

Great Weekend Getaway

Love the Adirondacks and had not yet been to Lake Placid in the Fall. John was super responsive when we booked his home for the weekend. He made sure the house was clean inside and out as the leaves were falling! He also left a gift in the fridge as we were there to race the Lake Placid Classic Half Marathon. He was super thoughtful and responsive the entire weekend when we had a few questions about the house.

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.

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!

Great Lake Placid rental!

We had an amazing Adirondack vacation while staying here. The house is fabulous, and had everything we needed for two families (4 adults and 3 kids). The kitchen is large and there are many places to sit and share a meal -- the countertop bar or the large dining room table. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are all nicely furnished and have everything you need. The bathrooms are updated. The living space is lovely -- a gas fireplace, TV with all the streaming platforms, and a great sound system. And the basement area game room was super with kids! There is also a washer and dryer, which is helpful after Adirondack adventures. The location is very convenient, and the neighborhood is quiet. The neighbors (especially the 4-legged ones) are very friendly. Highly recommend this rental. It is worth every penny!

Beautiful Clean Home, Fantastic Location, Helpful Hosts

This is hands down the cleanest and most well-appointed rental we've ever enjoyed visiting! What a pleasure. The lovely furniture, quality beds/linens, user friendly kitchen, up to-date fixtures and extras like games/puzzles, movies, foosball/darts/wii/etc. made for a pleasant getaway for our family of 6. Although the weather was chilly and rainy for our weekend visit to Lake Placid, we could retreat to this cozy haven and sit by the fire, enjoy a good meal and relish in the change of pace. Our children loved the house too, especially the basement rec room area. We were in town for our sons' speed cubing competition at a local resort, so we were in and out frequently for various events associated with that. This location provided easy walking to coffee shops, retail, restaurants, Olympic sights, Mirror Lake - all the THINGS! Thank you John/host for your clear communication and responsiveness. We will be back!
