Amazing, very comfortable home for a weekend stay (or longer) -- we had 6 adults and never felt cramped! Perfect location close to town, and John is the consummate host, from communication at the start all the way through, plus he and his wife have compiled an AMAZING list of Things to do for every season in Lake Placid. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We too had a great stay! The house is beautifully decorated, immaculate, uncluttered and comfortable. It is perfectly set up for winter weather and skiing, with an easy garage entry and space for gear downstairs. The kitchen, bedrooms and family room are also all so well thought out and inviting. My sons loved the game room. John was easily reachable by phone and text and made sure we had everything we needed for an enjoyable few days, including activity, dining and general area recommendations.
