We were welcomed as soon as we walked in, with Champagne and the breathtaking views around the house. We loved our stay in this beautiful home, and thanks to Tim the property manager in securing us an extra table and chairs, we were able to seat all 20 of our family members together for Thanksgiving dinner. The large open chef's kitchen was my husband's and our sons' favorite place. I was surprised how well stocked the pantry was, coffee was ready to brew every morning.
The bedrooms were beautifully decorated and the views from upstairs were magnificent. Our younger granddaughters' loved the cub den bunk beds, so they could hang out and gossip all night. Our older grandsons and our older granddaughters had the third-floor bedrooms, and although they enjoyed the privacy, the pitched ceilings were low, and the rooms were too hot, with only 1 fan available to cool them at night.
The hot tub and outdoor fire pit were so inviting, especially when it snowed! It really was like a Hallmark Movie.
The few drawbacks we had was that the clothes dryer did not work, and could not be fixed while we were there, so nothing could get washed. There was also a leak in the kitchen sink, that we were not made aware of. We found there was a bucket under the drain when we arrived, so we had to keep checking it, and emptying it so it didn't overflow. For the price we paid, it should have been fixed.
All in all, though, we had a wonderful time at Bethel Ridge. We got to shop in Lake Placid and hike thru the nearby woods, and just enjoy all of our family together in one place.
