What a lovely, clean, filled with everything you need, home! The inside of the home is architecturally beautiful. The fireplace is breathtaking. Everything is spotless and comfortable. You feel like you are in a home that has been loved.The beds and linens are wonderful and perfect for a good night sleep tucked away in nature.

Great location

This was a wonderful place to stay to enjoy the area around Lake Placid but be far enough away from the crowds to enjoy the quiet beauty as well. Rex and Cay were great hosts. Loved the villages of Keene and Keene Valley. Great proximity to Whiteface Mt area as well.

Not just a rental but a home away from home.

Very nice well equipped house that had everything you could need. It was very enjoyable and we appreciated the quality features, the fireplace and the furniture. Super close to Whiteface Mountain and we loved the skiing.

Impeccable

A beautiful place. Impeccably clean, and our every need was anticipated. The hosts were lovely people. If you like to cook, a very well appointed kitchen. If you want to hike the high peaks, you couldn't find a better location. I would stay here again without hesitation.

Quick Ski Trip

A beautiful property close to Whiteface Mountain and Lake Placid. Very spacious, has everything you can possibly need, the owners were absolutely wonderful to work with. We felt like we were staying at a very upscale property for a price lower than most hotels. In fact, it's about half as much the cost with the comfort of feeling like home!

Great girl’s hiking weekend

The space was beautiful, plenty of room for four friends. The kitchen was really well stocked and perfect for cooking our dinners. Cay met us on arrival to give us a tour and was so friendly, and even picked some blueberries for us! We did a fabulous hike at Jay Mountain Trail - just 7 minutes from the house to the trailhead. Would love to stay here again.

Lovely home in Upper Jay

Close to attractions, hiking, and good restaurants. House contains everything you could possibly need. Very interesting decorations throughout house. Especially liked the screened in porch for breakfasts and in the evening after dark. Hosts eager to make your stay enjoyable but were unobtrusive.

Exceptional experience

My husband and I stayed at this property as a “home base” to explore the Adirondacks. As avid hikers we enjoyed the quick and easy access to several mountain trails. After hiking we looked forward to rest and relaxation - this was the perfect place to unwind. Clean, well stocked and so many little touches made this place feel like a home away from home. We didn’t want t to leave!

Thanksgiving holiday

We booked the rental for Thanksgiving week. Everything was absolutely perfect. The entire rental is top of the line and has everything you need to be comfortable. The beds were especially comfortable! The giant fireplace in the living room was where we spent every single night listening to Christmas music and having wine. We had a wonderful day and would absolutely recommend this to any of our friends visiting the area! You won’t be disappointed.

Let me start with saying Perfect on every aspect! We arrived as guests and left as friends.Definitely will stay there every time we are there.Thanks to Rex and Cay for being the best hosts, beautiful house that is kept so well, has everything that you need in the house and the kitchen. Their love to serve and good heart for kids. It became super memorable for kids as Rex even spent time with my son coaching him basketball 2 days. Something he never had to do. Thanks a lot Rex and Cay.

Clean and comfortable

Parson Place was super roomy, super comfortable and super clean. We were a group of 4 (2 couples). The floorplan is actually really large, so we each had our own space when desired (one person could read at one end of the house without being disturbed by TV watching at the other end of the house.) But we all could hang out comfortably together too by the impressive fireplace. Location was perfect for us. Quiet and wooded but near enough to Lake Placid, hiking and an even we were attending at Mt VanHoevenburg.

The house was very spacious. The kitchen cabinets were well stocked with small appliances and pots and pans. The coffee pot, dish washer and refrigerator were in excellent condition. The master bedroom was very comfortable and the connecting bathroom was very clean. The living room had large windows, fire place, large tv and furniture to enjoy your morning coffee. Exceptional home!!! Owners were very accommodating. Highly recommend.

Exceeded our expectations by a mile

The pictures truly don't do it justice, this property is beautiful! Between Santa's workshop, all the lake placid activities, and the house, the house was my kids' favorite part of the whole trip. It was clean, well stocked, and Rex and Cay were communicative and helpful with every step along the way. We loved ending our day with a fire in the wood burning fireplace and the kitchen is the perfect place to cook dinner and socialize. My kids loved the availability of games and space to run. They were also a big fan of the tub! 10 out of 10, would love to come back!!
