Gateway to the Adirondacks on the River “The West”
Very beautiful area and so close to whiteface mountain. Everything was clean and ready for our arrival. Would stay here again

Below the Books, Beside the Lake
Our stay was perfect in every way. From the thoughtful treats left for our kids, to the heated bathroom floor, and in- unit laundry, everything was more than we expected. Being under the bookstore was lovely and we visited frequently. Sarah and Marc were incredibly accommodating and responsive to all of our needs. We will definitely be back! :)

River Stone Retreat
The location is perfect with easy access to the Ausable river with brown trout fishing within 100 yards. Meg was friendly and responsive and made sure everything was smooth. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful Adirondack getaway!

Highpeaks Timberloft
My wife and I loved our weeklong stay here. The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay, with a full kitchen, 2 beds, a propane grill, and a comfortable living room. It's right in the middle of some of the best places in the Adirondacks but quiet enough that you feel secluded. We loved being able to hear the Ausable River roar right behind the apartment. The whole town lost power from a storm on our last night, and the hosts were sure to check on us to make sure we had what we needed - we really appreciated that. Looking forward to our next stay!

Night Sky Niche: ADK High Peaks
Betsy is a super host! Let us know about the local area, places to eat and visit, where we can go stargazing which honestly is a must if you come to stay here! She is flexible and accommodating, just communicate with her and she will respond. The airbnb was clean, private, and very cozy! The local area is great with beautiful surroundings. Can't wait to come back to get some more hikes under our belts.

Lake Champlain Private Waterfront Guest Apartment
This lakeside gem was the setting for one of the most restful and beautiful stays we’ve ever had with Airbnb. I loved sitting every morning on their porch to take in the first bit of morning light, and every suggestion made by our host was better than the last. I’ve visited Vermont several times, but I was blown away by all of the hidden treasure suggested by our host - everything from thrift shops to the best cafes. My two kids had a blast here as well. I would highly recommend for couples, families, or friend groups looking to have fun together.

Ski Whiteface 5 min away - Lakefront
Jo was an incredibly thoughtful and welcoming host. Check-in was seamless, and we were greeted with a basket of goodies and a handwritten note, which made us feel so at home. The house was cozy, beautifully designed, and had everything we needed—including a fully equipped kitchen and extra towels and slippers for the hot tub, which we loved using. The kids enjoyed having their own rooms upstairs, and the big windows provided stunning views. The location was great, just 20 minutes from town. Overall, it was a relaxing and much-needed getaway—thank you, Jo!

In-Town Lakefront-The Apple Tree Lodge, Unit 1

Brothers Bay: An Historic Lake Front Farmhouse
William's property is so beautiful. The view of the lake is breathtaking from sunrise to sunset. We enjoyed every meal on the screened in porch surrounded by the beatiful water. The home is so cozy and feels homey yet luxurious. It had eveything we needed. The access to the water from the dock was one of our favorite parts. A lot of wonderful memories were made by the water... swimming, kayaking, watching turtles and fish. It was such a relaxing and peaceful vacation spot and we hope to be able to stay again in the future. We also enjoyed the historical aspect of the property and felt a connection when we visited Fort Ticonderoga, which was minutes away. Our family loved this vacation and this lovely and charming home! Thank you!

The Indian Lake House -lakefront-Hot Tub-Sauna-
This place was a top notch place to stay for our fall trip. We felt like we were living in luxury. Who can beat having so much space, a sauna and a hot tub!

Lakefront home-walk downtown, 15 min to Lk Placid
Todd and Amy were not only great hosts, but provided a wonderful home full of ample space and endless amenities that made our trip so special. We definitely recommend booking with Todd and Amy and are looking forward to staying at this location again!

Beautiful Home, Stunning View!
We had an absolutely exquisite experience staying at Adirondack Chalet. It is one-of-a-kind place that offers numerous amenities and stunning views. The house was throughly cleaned and well-stocked before our arrival. The sauna and hot tub worked perfectly, which we enjoyed a lot during our stay. If you are planning to ski at Whiteface Mountain resort, it is literally five minute drive away. The hosts were incredibly friendly and approachable. Overall, we had a memorable vacation and would definitely come back.

The Brook House Downstairs
Perfect place for our hiking get away. Close access to many high peaks. All of the necessary amenities. Clean and comfortable. Will be back.

Ti Mill House
Our experience of Philip's place was great. Easy to get to, get in, find the things we needed. Great amenities, shampoos, soaps, snacks, teas, coffee. Heat was on when we arrived, which made it feel that much more welcoming. Was perfect!

Lakefront retreat w/dock in the Adirondacks
My family and I had an amazing time at Kayleigh’s place! The house was gorgeous, super cozy, and spotless. The game room was a total blast, and the views were breathtaking. Kayleigh is such a great host - friendly, helpful, and very attentive. We will be back in the summer!

High Peaks Cottage on the Ausable River
Stayed in the cabin on a beautiful snowy weekend. Cabin was nice and toasty even when temps were near 0. Great location. Close to town but on a quiet road next to the Ausable River. The owners’ house is next door but still felt very private. We’ll definitely stay here again!

Wolf Jaw Lodge u61 - Lake Views!
My family and I had an awesome time. Great location. Love the sauna. Will definitely come back.

Swiss Condo #2 - Water Access STR # 300004
Our family of five had a wonderful stay. The location is perfect. The view from the condo of the lake is beautiful. We loved being able to use the amenities at the High Peaks Resort. We walked each night into town for dinner. The living space is very comfortable and the bedrooms were also comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Lakeside #1 STR # 200347
It's a beautiful location with plenty of things to do in the area. You do get your money's worth. It's also close to many shopping amenities for those who prefer not to travel by car to buy groceries or medicine. Overall, a great experience!

Adirondack Studio Retreat–Cozy Lake Placid Escape!
we stayed for a night, but really did not want tp leave! It was so cozy and spacious, a few steps from parkng and had a beautiful view of the mountains and snowy lake. Angela was super responsive! the bed was the most comfortable and the fireplace made it even better! we didn't have to leave unless we needed food, the studio was fully equipped with everything needed. The shower was also amazing with great pressure especially after a long day in tje snow. I highly reccomend and will be conimg back again in a different season!

Harbor 21/ Amazing Views STR# 00213
Condo matches the pictures, but the view is far better than the pictures. Very comfortable space and open floor plan. Kitchen was well stocked, we cooked in a couple nights and had everything we needed to prep meals. Having three full bathrooms was great (we had 4 adults and two kids). Easy walk to the middle of town and all the restaurants/shops, but far enough away that it didn’t feel busy. Coffee on the balcony was an amazing way to start the day. We’ve been going to lake placid for 20+ years and have stayed many places - this is one of the best views we’ve had while still being right in the village. Highly recommended.

Lakeside 11: A Perfect Getaway at Whiteface Club!
We had a wonderful weekend in Lake Placid with our daughter and family.We had lots of snow, a true winter wonderland. When the sky’s cleared we enjoyed the spectacular views. This is a very comfortable and cozy home. We relaxed by the fireplace. The kitchen is very well stocked so we ate in a couple nights.The whole condo was as clean as can be. We will certainly be back. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Easy living, spectacular view Lake Placid condo
We had a great stay and the location was peaceful and quiet. Access to both lake Placid and mirror lake was easy with paddle boards. It was an easy walk to town as well. The condo was spacious with more than enough space for our group of 7. The kitchen cabinets and appliances as well as bathrooms are dated but all in perfect working order. We would definitely book with Diane in the future.

Cozy & Comfortable ADK Condo
Great condo in a central location. We were very comfortable, nicely decorated, and everything was as clean and well equipped. It was perfect for a quick ski weekend!
