Great spot on the lake and fantastic views from the bedrooms! Clean, well equipped cabin. Surprised to learn (thankfully in advance) that towels were not provided, although it seems this is common practice in this area. Easy communication with owner. Conveniently located just off the main road while still private.

We stayed for two weeks and had up and down weather. A lot of rain fell over our two weeks. Never a day that was a complete wash out but close to it. The lake was beautiful and we had fun kayaking. The furniture in the living area is not very comfortable and with the rain we had to stay indoors more than we would have liked. Also doing laundry was a bit of a challenge with the stipulations. Just took longer. All in all we would stay here again.

Overall, the boat house was lovely and on the water was a plus. The outside property was well maintained. I would have liked to have a different coffee maker as the one provided was confusing and took some learning. I would also have liked elimination of fleas on the bottom of the sliding door. Finally, I would have preferred to have kayaks provided rather than having to spend hundreds of dollars more to have them provided and delivered.

Great spot to enjoy the ADK's from! Despite hitting a rainy week, we were out hiking and kayaking every day, sometimes for most of the day. It is particularly nice to be able to kayak right from your house to "the outback" - that is places without motorboats, houses, etc. Spacious place with big kitchen with table and lots of spots to settle down in a comfortable spot with views of the lake. Very comfortable bed, too :).

What a gem! The pictures really don't do it justice, Right on the water, easy access for launching kayaks, canoes or just going for a swim. The beds are so comfortable and loved the ensuite bathroom in the master bedroom. We had 8 adults and stayed for a wonderful week. Weather was good every day except 1 but Lake Placid is only 30 minutes so it's easy to escape a rainy day. Loved hearing and seeing the loons every day, so many loons!! Overall great place. Highly recomended, just wish it was a shorter drive for us!

Great location for our New Year's trip. The house was spacious and perfect for our group of 6. The location was close to winter activities so we will going back again. Perfect location for a warm weather trip also especially if you have a kayak, canoe or boat.
