About this house rental
Welcome to Boulder Ridge! (28 year age minimum to rent this property) Built in 2015, this dream vacation home was designed for people that truly appreciate the great outdoors, but who also want to relax and feel pampered. Boulder Ridge boasts 2600 square feet of pure pleasure on 7 acres of secluded, peaceful, mountainside in the heart of the High Peaks Region. Perched 2 miles above the hamlet of Keene, close to the charming towns of Keene Valley, Wilmington, and Jay, Boulder Ridge is only a short drive to Lake Placid and Whiteface Mountain Ski Resort. Anyone who visits will find an endless choice of activities and plenty of privacy to relax.
As you arrive catch a glimpse of the the magnificent views, spectacular decks, hot tub, open fire pit, outdoor shower (seasonal) and sprawling yard and then come inside to the home that was designed for the serious Adirondack vacationer. The house sleeps 12 people, and features 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. You will enjoy a large open floor plan, including a chef's kitchen and large dining area flanked by a great room with vaulted ceilings, wood-burning stove, and all new stylish furniture. A simply wonderful space for gathering the family and friends. When it is time to rest you will get cozy in one of our 3 king bedrooms or specially designed "Young Adults/Kids" get away bunk/TV room. And don't forget the bathrooms! Each outfitted with rain showers, long vanities and double sinks, everyone will feel like they are on their own private vacation.
The Main floor is where you will find the core of the house. Designed to maximize the most spectacular view, this open floor plan includes a very generous kitchen, including all granite counter tops, a 10' island with double sink, 6 burner stove, oven and microwave, large refrigerator, large pantry and everything else you need to prepare a gourmet meal or just a snack. A desk has also been added, as an extension to the kitchen, for you to plug in phones, tablets or computers, to stay as connected as you want to be. The dining room, which flanks the kitchen, reaches toward the view and boasts a large table to sit up to 12 people, when extended. After a long hike or big dinner, meander into the Great Room and nestle into the large, leather, sectional for a show, kick back in the recliner with a book or maybe just grab a nap in front of a warm, wood burning stove. Finally, when it is time to turn in from your best, first vacation day ever, you can choose from 4 different options.
On the main floor, experience the comforts of a king bedroom furnished with brand new furniture and plush bed, letting you get cozy to read your favorite book or catch a show on the TV provided. The floor, in this room, along will all floors in the house, are radiant floor heated for maximum comfort. Then get spoiled with your own attached bathroom, which includes a large custom shower, separate 6' soaking tub, private toilet, long double vanity and walk in closet.
In addition to the upstairs bedroom, there are two King Bedrooms and a Bunk Room downstairs. Each of these rooms gives you space to spread out and private access to the outside (Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Under Deck Seating). You will also be able to take advantage of the very comfortable radiant floor heating system, throughout, that will keep you toasty in the winter and comfortable in the summer. The first King bedroom provides a plush mattress and the Second King a firm mattress, to meet the needs of every sleeper. With individual decor in each room and comfortable linens, these two king rooms share a bathroom that includes regular and rain shower heads and a double sink vanity.
For the younger vacationer, including kids and young adults, we have put together a "Get Away Suite". This suite includes two custom made bunk beds, a leather sleeper sofa, an entertainment center and it's own private bathroom. Play your favorite X Box game, catch a movie or pull out the board games, either way this room makes space for 6 of the younger generation to sleep in one of 4 twin sized bunk beds or pull out the leather sofa and sleep 2. The larger bathroom, with a private toilet and shower, including a jumbo rain shower, double vanity and plenty of towels, will allow for a larger group to maintain privacy and have their own space.
Outside, the decks were built to use. You can utilize the vast deck area for cooking on the propane grill and feeding a large group or just enjoying the view. To get refreshed hop into our 6-7 person hot tub or grab a warm outdoor shower just before going down to the fire pit to chat about the days events and what is on the schedule for your next adventure.
Now that you are set with all the amenities, make sure to step out and truly enjoy all the Adirondacks have to offer. Each season brings a special opportunity to those who venture out by offering some of the most beautiful scenery you can imagine and endless activities to keep everyone busy. In the Summers you can enjoy things like hiking, biking, canoeing, climbing, fishing to name a few, while in the Winters gearing up for downhill skiing, snow shoeing, sledding or taking a ride down the Olympic Bob Sled. When Fall arrives stay with us for a long weekend and soak in the colors of nature like you have never seen before. For those who just want to relax, enjoy a soak in the Ausable River, across from Marcy Field or at Chapel Pond and shoppers, don't feel left out. Antiquing, arts & crafts and farmers markets are all part of the local flare to easily fill your days. You can find all the finest shopping and restaurants within a range of 2-20 miles and never be bored.
While you stay with us it is important to remember that safety is paramount and our motto is "Leave No Trace" when hiking and enjoying other activities in these beautiful surroundings. We have a strong hope for the longevity of this beautiful park and it's care is up to those who enjoy it.

We love visiting the ADK and specifically staying in the Keene area and this home exceeded all of our must haves! The view is breathtaking and the home is very beautiful and comfortable. It’s the perfect place to relax after a jam-packed day of hiking or other activities or even just to lounge around all day (not that we did that :)). The kitchen was well stocked and equipped and we especially loved the deck, showers, hot tub, and large indoor and outdoor tables to accommodate our family. Thanks so much for wonderful communication and memories to last a lifetime! We would love to return!

Group of 6 women hiking Tabletop. That hot tub after a long day of hiking was indescribably appreciated! Great house and property manager was very nice even after discovering the reason heat wasn’t working downstairs was because we didn’t put on, oops. Will be returning!

Every year we go with our siblings and their families to a rental for the weekend in the Adirondacks, but this was by far our favorite home so far! The home is absolutely beautiful, and the views were incredible and each time you look out the window you will be stunned. The home had everything we needed. We spent a lot of time playing board games and relaxing by the fire. It was so nice to rest and catch up with our families. Thank you for everything, Randy!

Everything was perfect! We really enjoyed the house, the master bath is amazing as is the entire place. The kitchen is perfect, with all utensils you could need.

Our getaway for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend was one of the best we've ever shared as a family. And your wonderful home is a large reason why. Thank you so much for making such a special place available for families to share. Everything we could have possibly needed was right at hand. As the cook of the family, it was so amazing to work in a kitchen that was fully stocked with all the gizmos and gadgets I needed to make our holiday meal.
All the beds were very comfortable and everything was so clean and welcoming. Tons of space and that leather sectional in the living room is heaven.
And that view!!!! Holy cow is it incredible!
We are already planning our return to your wonderful home in the warmer months. It will be perfect for our annual Gals Gathering. Plus my husband and I want to invite a couple friends to experience the area on another weekend.
Randall & Holly, you were great hosts and it was a pleasure to stay in your very special home. Thank you!

Randall and his team I think go above and behind to make your stay as comfortable and homey as possible. The house was spotless upon arrival with ample amounts of linens for every room and the response time was very quick anytime we had a question. The listing was exactly as described and the views from the deck were absolutely breathtaking. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we could think of and more and the grill outside also came in handy. We had the opportunity to take a small walk down the road and hike the little/big crow mountain trail and the view at the top was totally worth it, the hiking back down and jumping into the hot tub really completed our day. We also brought our 3 dogs and I think they may have enjoyed their vacation just as much as us!
5.0
My husband and I have been here at least 5-6 times at this point, and every single time we leave wishing that we could have stayed longer! This home is absolutely stunning, and Randall is such a kind, thoughtful host... we'll definitely be back! Thank you!!

Beautiful spot to stay in Keene. It has amazing views of the Adirondack high peak's region. The house was extremely clean and well stocked from kitchen to the bathrooms to the linens. The place was accurately listed and advertised!

My fiance and I needed a reset from working and found this lovely listing. We were beyond impressed with its cleanliness, the communication with management and the view! This was a perfect family location with the serene view of the ADK. This was better than we hoped and will be staying here again! Thank you for the wonderful experience!

After taking a beautiful drive on the country road to a gorgeous home away from home. We chose to stay in and cook since the home was so well equipped. We enjoyed being able to all fit at the table for all of our meals with a large group. Our guest traveled from all over NY for this weekend trip. We can’t until we can do it again!

We have stayed at a lot of places in the Adirondacks over the last 30 years but this is, for our purposes, the very best. Clean, quiet, comfortable, well laid out, incredible view, all the amenities. The owners are kind and very attentive and the location - above Hurricane Road in Keene - could not be better. I am already planning to book it again for next year.

My family and I just stayed here for a week and it was one of the best vacation homes we’ve ever experienced! The house is beautiful— spacious, clean, well appointed, and with a stunning view of the Adirondack mountains. It’s a short drive into Keene and Lake Placid, with numerous activities. We enjoyed hiking (two trails right up the road from the property), swimming in Mirror Lake and local waterfalls, and activities at Mount Van Hoevenburg. We can’t wait to return!
5.0
Absolutely amazing house-- and great location.
A few "extras" that aren't in the listing-- and worth noting!
1- "starter" basic spices, salt/pepper, paper towels, coffee. Kitchen v. well appointed. A nice welcome!
2- Deck has locking gates on both ends-- making it great for time with kids or dogs -- as they can't run off and you can relax and enjoy the view.
3- all bedrooms have white noise machines!
4- OUTSTANDING numbers of linens/towels/extra blankets.
5- upstairs has a 1/2 bath in addition to 3 full baths near each bedroom- which was great for daily use.
6- utility room has two dryers- easy to do a quick load and keep you having to bring tons of hiking clothing!
7- OUTDOOR SHOWER under deck! its great after a hike, before/after the hottub.
8- about 0.7 mile up the hill is entrance to both little/big crow hikes and hurricane access. Get a ride to the 9N start of hurricane and you can point to point to the top of hill/house for a nice hike with a fire tower!
9- there are baby gates & highchair. The WIC in the upstairs bedroom big enough for a pack/play if you had a little.
10/10-- strongly recommend!
note: Elizabethtown (about 10 miles east) is next area with Tops/etc. There is however a Stewarts at the bottom of the hill for basics, as well as a great craft beer place where you can fill a growler. There is drive up recycling center in Lake Placid if you don't want to bring recycling home.

The property was very well kept and cared for. The view is gorgeous and we were in awe of it throughout our entire stay. The bunk room for the kids was perfect. We also brought our dog, which was a huge plus. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to make a meal. We also did the Big Crow and Little Crow hikes from the house and had a great time. About 20 min drive to Lake Placid. Will definitely come again! Thank you!!

We had a wonderful 5 nights/6 days at this property. The view is BEAUTIFUL! The house is about a 22 minute drive to Whiteface Mountain and 25 minutes to the town of Lake Placid.
The house is well stocked with plenty of utensils, plates, cookware, etc. for our group of 11 people. The propane tank on the grill ran out on the first night and Randall, the owner, had someone there in 20 minutes to replace it. He was so responsive! One of the nights it snowed 12 inches and the driveway was plowed before we even woke up to go skiing.
This is one of the best VRBO's we have stayed in, not only because the house is great, but the owners and caretakers are AWESOME!

Our family of 6 stayed at this property for a week in January. It was absolutely amazing. We will be back for sure.

Th location of this place to Whiteface was great and just about 10-12 minutes. Our two teen girls loved their own private suite on the lower level, wit easy access to the hot tub just outside their door.
The kitchen was huge and very well appointed with all of the items we could want to cook with. ( Hubby is a chef). Having some coffee, tea and spices made it welcoming and easy to settle in.
My favorite thing about this home was the master bath and the amazing mountain views!
The owner was a very helpful person and super responsive to our needs..a perfect place for 8-10 adults or a family with kids, especially teens!!!Everyone had their own bath and a place to chill. I'd book another stay here anytime.

This place delivers and then some! We had everything we needed in a luxury setting. A lot of detail has gone into making this location so superior. My family and I had a blast! Our dogs loved it too. We appreciated the more out of the way location. For us, it worked perfectly. We had snow every day which made it even better for us. Thank you for everything. It was a trip to remember.
