Our entire experience was perfect. Very prompt and professional hosts. Clean home with everything one would need in a kitchen. Comfortable beds and seating areas. Will be renting agin for sure. Great job by everyone involved.
The property is gorgeous and very well kept. The owners were friendly and the house is located very close to Lake Placid making it an ideal location for a getaway with family or friends (or both)!
We really enjoyed our time at the Grand Jay Lodge. Gene was easy to communicate with, and the check in/out process was seamless. The property had a great feel, it is a short drive to Lake Placid and the ADK Loj. Whiteface is just down the road as well. We’ll be back next summer for a longer stay!
Spacious, great kitchen, fantastic game room, beautiful living room, wonderful hot tub and sauna.
My family loved it. Our host was very responsive to any queries.
I wanted to let you know that I had an awesome time at your place. Your house was super clean and comfortable, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay. Thanks for being such a great host!
We rented 2 of Gene’s places for a last minute family reunion. Pictures don’t do them justice. They were gorgeous, beautifully decorated and meticulously clean. They were perfect for our family and we can’t wait to be back.
We booked our stay several years in advance to experience the total solar eclipse in April 2024, and everything worked out beautifully. Gene probably isn't responsible for the perfect weather, but he did provide our extended family with spacious accommodations and an amazing outdoor space to enjoy. He was a responsive, informative host, and we are grateful to have had such a wonderful place to stay in upstate New York.
This was our second time staying at the Grand Jay Lodge. It’s a cozy log cabin, with great amenities (hot tub, sauna, air fryer, two laundry rooms). We went with friends last year, and brought the family this year. It’s centrally located between Lake Placid and Keene Valley. Excellent location for trips into town, or to hit a hike out of Adk Log or Keene. The host is very responsive and kind. We’ll be back for a 3rd year!
Gene is very accessible and highly responsive. All inquiries and issues were handled immediately and Gene was not happy until we were happy with the outcome. The property was clean and well-apportioned. The property overlooks Jay Mountain, which was a such beautiful backyard view.
We rented Grand Jay as well as Grand Peaks for a multigenerational family reunion. The houses were a quick walk down the street from each other, making gathering together so easy. Grand Jay was a perfect fit for our needs. The hot tub and sauna were also a hit. Lots of things to do in the area, with a quick drive to Lake Placid. Gene was very responsive to any and all questions and was very accommodating. We look forward to returning in the future!
The house was clean and beautiful. The area has many nearby attractions for those that enjoy the outdoors. The view from the house and the amenities were wonderful.
We probably pushed the limit on occupancy with 22 people. The large kitchen table was adequate for us. The TV viewing area was definitely small for our party. The downstairs play area was excellent. We had some bees get into the house in one of the bedrooms. And a couple of my family members thought the beds could have been better (too soft/low quality).
Location was great and there was plenty of room for us. Two things that could have been better: we didn't have access to air/heat for the first day and it was abnormally hot that day and the 2 days leading up to our trip. Secondly, the place hadn't been vacuumed recently. I know because of the spike in temperature there were a lot of dead and live houseflies that week, but the property should have been vacuumed that day. The floors were a little dirty and covered with dead flies but the bathrooms and kitchen were clean. The hot tub and sauna were ready for us and we did enjoy them!
Close to high peaks, whiteface ski resort and much, much more. Dealing with property manager was excellent! Second year staying here and we already booked a third year.
What a great place and great communication with the host will be planning another trip

Perfect Large Family Getaway
First time at Grand Jay. We had an amazing time with a large crowd, half children. The views were breathtaking and the amenities were like we never left home. Perfect location for our daily trips to the mountain.
Easy to find location with plenty of activities available in the area. Good food available locally if you're not inclined to cook. Plenty of room in doors.
This is our third season renting with Gene at High Peaks Rentals. The properties are amazing, with beautiful views and first class amenities. The properties offer plenty of room for multi family getaways.
House was perfect. Location was perfect. Extremely clean, comfortable and plenty of room for both adults and children. If I could give Grand Jay 6 stars I would. Highly recommended and will definitely go back !
