Claus Home

This place is amazing! So spacious and clean. It was everything and more to us. We had 13 people and we never felt crowded at all. We used every inch of this house and the amenities were fantastic. Close walk to the town 8-10 minutes and it was centrally located to the town. Ann is the realtor and she was it extremely knowledgeable about "things to do" while you stay and we definitely enjoyed the ice skating rink!

Claus House

My whole family (16 people age 3-70) stayed at the Claus House for 5 nights. It was very comfortable with 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. The house and grounds were spacious. The little kids used the playground once, we used the fire pit once, kids played volleyball a few times, adults used the hot tub a few times, mostly it was a home base for other excursions in the Adirondacks. Overall, a great vacation!

Great house for large group

We travel to Lake Placid for an annual snow shoe trip. The house worked out great for our large group. There were enough bedrooms and beds in each room that accommodated our group well. The parking was really our only issue. There is only parking for 4 cars on premises. Anne gave us access to additional spots about a mile away. We cooked all of our meals in the house and the kitchen had everything we needed. The hot tub was a hit with many of the members of our group.

Large accommodating home

My extended family and I stayed here in Sept for my nephew's wedding. The home was large with plenty of space to accommodate everyone without feeling on top of each other. My son and myself both had some work/meetings to do during the week and we had no problems with the Wifi. Everyone stated their beds were very comfortable. The back yard was a wonderful place to have dinner and relax by the fire pit. We especially enjoyed the large hot tub after hikes. Town is just a short walk to enjoy the many restaurants and shops on Main Street. Our host Anne was great and gave a tour upon arrival. If you are a large family or group of friends, this is a great home to rent!
