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!

Traveled with a nordic ski team to compete in a series of races at Mount Van Hoevenberg. This house was perfect for our group size, and everyone had plenty of space.

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.

We had a large group and had a great time. There was plenty of space inside the house and outside and is a great house for all groups. Everything listed on the house’s page was exactly how it was. It was great being within walking distance to town and only 10-15 minutes from Whiteface Mountain. Ann was a great host and was easy to get in touch with. I would rent again!

Wonderful Stay!
We had a wonderful experience here! We have never been to Lake Placid so had to rely on the descriptions and photos here. Everything was just as described. We had plenty of room and loved walking to town. We did not have to pack a lot due to how much was already at the house and the double washer and dryers. All ages 4 to 80 had a great time! Thank you so much!

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!
