There was 20 people in our group and we had plenty of room for everyone. The house was in a great location and was very clean with everything we needed for the weekend (such as multiple washers/dryers, stocked kitchen, lots of hot water, etc.). I would absolutely recommend renting with Gene, he was great to work with!

We had a wonderful time at grand meadows lodge. The house is perfect with great thought given to making it a holiday paradise! We played ping pong, board games, relaxed on the spacious deck and of course lounged in the hot tub. Gene was always available for questions. Great bacation home for big groups!.

Gene and his property were absolutely perfect in so many ways. Location to Whiteface and downtown Lake Placid. Beautiful, clean, comfortable home -- one of the very best we've stayed at thru vacation rentals. Amenities like hot tub, video games, streaming on well sized TVs, firewood upon arrival to get a firing going . . . even a bottle of wine! Comfortable beds, pillows and linens had this picky family sleeping soundly and comfortably. Kitchen well stocked and appointed with all we needed. So wonderful and a perfect winter family getaway. Will definitely be looking to come back . . .summer and/or winter!! Thank you again!

The Grand Meadows Lodge is a beautiful cabin that comfortably fit 15 adults. We had a group of friends and family for a Whiteface / lake placid weekend. The host Gene was amazing, responsive, and we knew if we needed anything we had a local contact as well. Our group loved the sauna, hot tub, and ping pong table. The cabin is extremely homey and comfortable, equipped with games, surround sound speakers, and comfy beds. The cabin was about 10 minutes from the nearest grocery store Tops and about 20 to Lake Placid. Our group had no complaints and everyone wanted to come back and check out Genes other properties as well. I will most definitely be booking this lodge or another of Gene’s properties for my next Lake Placid trip.

Grand Meadows is a beautiful cabin located no more than 25 minutes from all of the sites Lake Placid has to offer. We stayed here for a hockey tournament at the Olympic Center. Gene and Gala are wonderful hosts, check in was simple, the rentals are loaded with amenities, the scenery is beautiful! The kids loved the playrooms and the hot tubs! They checked in with us regularly to make sure our stay was going well. I can not recommend staying here enough. We will be back! Thank you from the Buffalo Bisons!!

Had a wonderful time staying here. Plenty of room for everyone. The Kitchen was stocked with all the cooking utensils we needed. Views of the mountains were great.
Downstairs was a Game room with Ping Pong, Foose Ball table and X Box games. Fire Place was cozy.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Grand Meadows Lodge for a large family gathering. So much space inside and out, we never felt too crowded but still had plenty of spots to gather and have fun. Location is wonderful for accessing hikes and Lake Placid. The kitchen was very well equipped and we had everything we needed to cook large family meals. There are lots of activities for the children too in the game room. All around we had a lovely stay and would highly recommend this property!

We rented 2 of Gene’s places for a last minute family reunion. Pictures don’t do them justice. They were gorgeous, beautifully decorated and meticulously clean. They were perfect for our family and we can’t wait to be back.

The Grand Meadows Lodge is a beautiful property with every amenity you could ask for.
The house is very spacious and clean with a ton of bedrooms and comfortable beds. The kitchen is very well stocked, which made cooking for a big group a breeze. It was great to have a gas bbq for grilling, a firepit for hanging out, and the hot tub + sauna were icing on the cake.
This property is in a great location; about 25 minutes from Lake Placid and 20 minutes from many hiking trail heads. If you're looking for restaurants close by I recommend the Ice Jamm Inn and Forty Six.
Will definitely visit again!

The house is beautiful and exceeded our expectations. Our group included my husband and me, three of our adult children and spouse and 3 year old grandson. There was plenty of room to spread out and do our own thing if all that family bonding time became a bit much. We loved huge fully stocked kitchen, hot tub and fire pit. I loved that master suite had its own screened in porch! Fantastic!

My now wife and I wanted a small wedding with very close friends and family. Gene's place was absolutely perfect for this occassion. It was comfortable for all of our guests to eat, sleep, and enjoy our wedding weekend! We brought our own yard games and decorations and we couldn't have asked for a nicer place. Clean, cozy, and very comfortable.

The home was perfect for our ski trip to Whiteface for our group of 4 families. It was large, clean, well-maintained, warm, and located close to the mountain and Lake Placid. The owner Gene was very communicative and responsive. Would definitely stay at this property again and have no hesitations in recommending the property to others.

20 of us spent a weekend at this cabin and it was everything we could’ve wanted! There were plenty of things to do at the cabin, boardgames, Xbox, hot tub, etc. the kitchen was great to cook in and there was plenty of space for everyone. Whiteface was a short drive away as well as Lake placid. Our host was very accommodating and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Highly recommend!!

We can’t say enough positive about our stay here. The house is in fantastic shape and the hosts were lovely and so accommodating to all of our needs. The house is huge, clean, and in every regard surpasses its description on Vrbo. The location was quiet and scenic. We will definitely be back!! Thank you!!!

This was hands down the best rental experience I’ve had. From booking 1 year out, the communication from Gene leading into our stay as well as checking in throughout to make sure everything was perfect, the gorgeous house with attention to every detail, hot tub, sauna, heated floors the list goes on. I visit the Lake Placid area often and will definitely be back to one of Genes properties! Without reservation I highly recommend this property!
10.0
Let me begin by saying our family is not new to renting. For years we have rented on Cape Cod as well as Maine, NH and now New York. I can say without a doubt this home is number one. And not just because of the gorgeous property but because of the whole process.
I booked this a year ahead of our stay. Gene has been one of a kind to deal with - I often times felt guilty fielding him with my questions being that it was the first time we have been in area. He responded immediately each time & always friendly and cheerful. He even gave us minute to minute weather updates before we headed on our 4.5 hour drive to the house! To me that is half the battle: the owner has a lot to do with the comfort of your stay and Gene is the best!
The house is perfect! When we arrived during the night the entrance was such a welcome sight with a lighted driveway sign which gave a resort feel. My kids (teenagers) ooh'd and awed the whole time from the car to the front door. We were able to drive right into the 3 car garage and unload out of the cold. When we walked in we were greeted with a beautiful 8' xmas tree with white lights on -which was an amazing surprise!!
The whole feel of the property is luxury. The little extras just made us feel like royalty: towel warmers, heated bathroom floor, cozy bedding, 3 sets of washer, dryers, endless amounts of towels, big screen TV and blue tooth speakers on first floor which we used constantly playing Christmas music while we played games and baked Christmas cookies.
We didn't venue out much because the house was so lovely and my husband just wanted to stay in his Christmas PJ's and relax (which with running a business he doesn't get to do often). We used the hot tub and sauna daily and with temps into the single digits outside and snow on the ground it was a blast to hop from one to the other.
The kids and I did venture out one day to near by Lake Placid. It was a quick 20 min drive & the scenery beautiful. The town was adorable with easy parking and twinkly lighted main street: Very festive and charming. Every little shop we went into we were greeted with the most friendly people!
We got to see husky's learning how to pull sleighs on Mirror Lake from a quaint coffee shop window. Perfect.
This may sound like a cheesy Hallmark movie review but it was honestly one of the best holidays our family has had thus far!!
Time to book for next year!
Thank you, Gene!!!

Amazing property with lots of attention to details. It has everything - sauna, wood-burning fireplaces inside and outside, entertainment for kids. The host is very responsive throughout the entire process. This is our second time here - this time during winter, but we also enjoyed it during the fall when it served as a base for our numerous hikes in the nearby mountains.

Out experience at high peak was amazing. Rooms were clean, welcoming and very charming. It was very homely and calming experience with friends and family members. Everyone enjoy their stay and satisfied with room services and amenities. It is a must place for large gathering with lots of activities.

We had a wonderful 4 day weekend over labour day 2022. The house is in perfect condition and very well stocked with games , toys and everything you might need in the kitchen. The only disadvantage is that it is a 25 minute drive to Lake Placid for groceries, restaurants and activities on a lake. There are nearby hiking trails that are great and wonderful views but that is about it.

Cannot say enough good things about this rental! It was beautiful, very clean, in excellent condition, beautifully decorated, very spacious and had all amenities we needed for a short family vacation! Excellent location! Gene was very quick to respond to any emails that were sent. We will book one of these properties again. Thank you for a great stay!

Our family enjoyed our summer vacation at the Grand Meadows Lodge.
The house is spacious, beautifully designed with great views, has a well stocked kitchen.& the beds are very comfortable.
Gene is very responsive to the few questions we had during our stay.
We had a wonderful time boating on Lake Placid, and enjoyed visits to High Falls Gorge & Ausable Chasm.

We have used vrbo properties for many years as our annual vacation rental. This was our first time in the Adirondacks. The house is beautiful with every amenity known. Tjerewere three washers, three dryers and three refrigerators. The house was in a great location and there was so much room! There were fifteen of us from ages 11 months to 75 years old. Five were teenage boys who loved the house and especially the hot tub and sauna. There is so much to do in the area.The property manager, Gene, was very responsive. Supplies of towels, to, detergents etc seemed endless especially compared to some other properties we have rented. The only piece of advice that I would give is that it is 15 miles to the nearest large grocery store so I would suggest bringing most of your food with you. This is our 13th year renting a house through vrbo for our annual family vacation and this was by far the roomiest and nicest property we have used. Thank you High Peaks Rentals.

Fabulous ADK Gathering Place
Fantastic location for ADK activities for everything from hiking to shops and restaurants at Lake Placid. Easy travel to any kind of activity you are looking for in the region.
Gorgeous house with beautiful view of the mountains.
The house is bright and beautiful with Adirondack charm. The layout of the house was perfect for our family group of 16. The bedrooms suited all our needs and the game room was a fun gathering spot for ping pong and video games, while the kitchen, dining area and living room was a great gathering place for meals and games. The firepit area was a little tight for a group as large as ours but we had brought a few folding chairs with us and made it work. Star gazing from the deck at night was awesome!
We would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a great location with plenty of room for a large group!! Gene was available to answer any questions and information was spelled out clearly in the rental agreement to use as reference for checking in and checking out.

Bachelorette Getaway
We had such a wonderful experience booking this property with Gene. There were 14 of us who arrived for a bachelorette excursion and we couldn’t have asked for a better house. It was conveniently located to downtown Lake Placid for dinner and breweries, and we were able to spend a whole day on Mirror Lake. Gene was easy to get a hold of and prompt in his communication. Everything we needed was laid out in detail ahead of time. I would absolutely go back for another visit and highly recommend this property for other groups looking for a great getaway house in the Lake Placid vicinity.

Fire pit with beautiful view of the mountains. 3 refrigerators and 3 sets of washers and dryers made life easy. Quick response from Gene when we had questions. Kids stayed occupied with basketball, and ping pong. Would gladly choose this house again!

Family trip to Upper Jay!
We had a great time in Upper Jay! My husband and I shared this property with my parents, my brother and his family, and my sister and her family. All in total 8 kids and they had a wonderful time too! The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The kids loved having “their” space in the basement and the adults loved relaxing in the hot tub and playing games on the big table. Gene was wonderful to work with and very helpful throughout the hole stay. We would definitely come back again!
