My friends and I wanted to rent a house in the woods for 10 days, to hike and tour around the High Peaks region, and this was the perfect place - half an hour from Lake Placid, Whiteface, and Keene Valley, and 45 minutes from Saranac Lake. The house was clean, comfortable, roomy, and in a very quiet and secluded "neighborhood' (you couldn't see the houses around it, due to the trees), and the hot tub was certainly a great feature! We bought great local meats and cheeses at a farm store 15 minutes away. Stacy was very prompt and helpful in answering any questions we had while we were there. We would highly recommend staying here!
