Great location. Everyone loved the view of the pond. We enjoyed the kayaking and campfires. Property is well maintained inside and out. We had 4 adults and 2 young children. There is a playground within walking distance. The walk to town was not too far but a bit more uphill than expected.

Wonderful property close to town

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was cozy and well-appointed. The location was great, within walking distance to town and within easy driving distance of great hiking. The kayaks and SUP were fun and the sauna a special treat. We would definitely stay again!

Great Family get away

3 generations under 1 roof! Great place for grandparents, parents, and kids to stay. Paddling on Mill pond on the provided watercraft was really fun. The sauna was lovely. House was a short walk to downtown Lake Placid.
