Best Lake Placid VRBO
We decided to go away for Christmas this year and stayed at this lovely home! I was hesitant to be away for Christmas day, but found John’s home to be the perfect “home away from home” for our family! Great location, immaculate unit, and it had everything from a stocked kitchen to cozy bedrooms to make our stay perfect! My family will always remember this as one of our favorite Christmas experiences. We had fun iceskating, cross country skiing and downhill at Whiteface. We can’t wait to return!!!

Beautiful House - Good Location
We had an excellent experience at this house! The house was well-maintained, providing a clean and comfortable place throughout our stay. The location was perfect with just a short distance (about 5 min) from town, making it easy to explore local restaurants and shops. The communication with the host was smooth and prompt. They were very responsive and made sure all our needs were met. We appreciated the thoughtful touches in the home that made it feel welcoming and cozy. Overall, we highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a convenient, comfortable, and hassle-free stay. We would definitely return!

Perfect Vacation Home
My friends and I frequent Lake Placid several times a year and this is the first rental that truly felt like a home away from home. It is exactly like the photos; warm, bright and inviting. John is communicable, knowledgeable about the area and was very accommodating. All around, our stay was wonderful. This is going to be our 1st pick for future stays in LP.

Great stay
Came here for Christmas week with a toddler and grandparents/family. All was as described and the house was very well stocked. Lots of great lighting, nicely decorated. Very close walk to Main Street that involves a hill but we enjoyed it! John was frequently communicating with us. Had a nice stay.

Clean and relaxing stay
This vacation home had all the comforts of home. The host was very generous in keeping supplies stocked for guests to use upon arrival. I also have to compliment the cleaning crew, John has found a very thorough crew! I felt more comfortable in this home than I have during previous VRBO stays. We enjoyed all of the local restaurants within walking distance, but the kitchen is fully stocked with any pot, pan, or utensil you could need. The house was perfect for our group of 6 with room for more.

The house is beautiful, comfortable, and just as advertised. The owners have current "things to do" magazines, as well as their own wonderful recommendations. Easy to store our bikes and gear. Great interactions with the owner. Wonderful from start to finish. A true five star experience!

Perfect house and location!
We visit Lake Placid every winter and were so happy to see that John and Heather’s home was available on our dates this year as we stayed there 2 years ago and just loved it! The house is exactly as described and is in a perfect location; easy walk into town for shopping and restaurants. The house has everything you need and the kids loved the tv/playroom on the ground floor. It’s clean, and the beds are super comfy. John is super responsive and kept checking in to make sure we were good and answered all our questions right away. We will definitely be back!!!

Perfect!
We could not have asked for anything more in this rental. We were in town for a figure skating competition and the location was perfect. Having so many supplies at the house like kitchen items, linens and paper products made our trip so much easier! We would highly recommend this rental and hope to be back next year!

Eclipse viewing
We stayed four nights during the recent eclipse. The house was perfect for this. Lake Placid was very crowded, We could walk downtown with needing a car, or stay at the house away from the crowds. The home is very inviting day and night, with comfortable beds and nice kitchen. The living room allowed for comfortable conversation, or collective TV viewing. There was a recreation room downstairs that would have been great for kids, but we never used it. Very nice place.

Great Weekend Getaway
Love the Adirondacks and had not yet been to Lake Placid in the Fall. John was super responsive when we booked his home for the weekend. He made sure the house was clean inside and out as the leaves were falling! He also left a gift in the fridge as we were there to race the Lake Placid Classic Half Marathon. He was super thoughtful and responsive the entire weekend when we had a few questions about the house.
