Put simply, this property and our stay was an absolute dream! We booked this beautiful home for my mom's 60th birthday trip and Johnathan's lodge provided the perfect backdrop to our 5-day stay in Lake Placid. My husband & I, my parents, and our chocolate lab already can't wait to return.
The home was well-kept, clean, and had so much wilderness charm that every detail in the home was just icing on the (birthday) cake for this trip! Any and everything has been thought of here - down to measuring cups and other small household items you don't realize you need until the moment comes!
Though we spent plenty of time out hiking, kayaking, visiting the Ski Jump Complex, High Falls Gorge, and enjoying meals out - our time at the house was just as special. The views from the expansive from deck were breathtaking at all times of the day, and could be enjoyed outside or inside from the living room.
Johnathan is an extremely hospitable and welcoming host, he was easy to communicate with, but just the same, fully respected our privacy in the home. He has put together an extensive binder of hikes which we found incredibly helpful when planning our days and hikes based on each of our hiking abilities.
10/10 would stay at this property or another of Johnathan's properties again! We are so grateful for everything he did to make this a memorable celebration for my mom!
