Parson Place is a very nice, warm, beautifully decorated house that is about 10 drive from Whiteface Mountain. It's very well equipped with pretty much anything you could need outside perishable food. The bedrooms are super comfortable, bathrooms are updated with big shower stalls, the living room with the large screen TV was amazing. Highly recommend.

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.

This was the second time we stayed at Parson Place and the home is beautiful, clean and spacious, providing all the amenities we needed. We used the kitchen and dining room for many family meals and there was no shortage of pots, pans, dinnerware, glasses and utensils. The home was in close proximity to everywhere we wanted to go in The Adirondacks, including Whiteface and Lake Placid. The hosts were right next door and were always available if we needed anything. Absolutely no complaints at all!
