We were two families with young kids. We enjoyed the ample house with many bedrooms, the toys for kids and the quite surroundings. We saw lots of deers which was really nice. Unfortunately, the wifi didn’t work at all for the whole stay. There was no phone connection in the area so we were left without communication and couldn’t plan our trips. The family was nice and tried to help with a map and travel guide books. However, it didn’t work for us. We really needed internet to use an app to plan our trips, get some work done, and play some movies for the kids. Furthermore, the dvd they provided didn’t work. They came and brought another one, which worked but without most colors. It wasn’t good. The house isn’t in great condition either - the back door didn’t lock well and often there wasn’t enough hot water in the shower. Kitchen also simple. But the bedrooms upstairs were lovely. Still worth it if you’re okay with not a fancy place, and looking for a quite and relaxed stay in nature. The owners tried to help. It was unfortunate with the wifi company.

Eric’s lovely farmhouse was a perfect spot for my two teenagers and me. We look forward to returning with a bigger crew, a longer stay, and taking advantage of more of the plentiful bedrooms! The house was perfectly located for kayaking, fishing, and hiking trips to Lake Placid, Catamount Mountain, Lake Eaton, and Chapel Pond. Close to the property, we enjoyed stargazing, wading and hunting crayfish in the nearby creek, and taking a couple of runs along the quiet roads. The house is super clean, the linens were fresh and plentiful, the main bathroom spacious, and the kitchen’s cupboards and drawers stocked with good-quality essentials. We also took advantage of the gas grill for a couple of burger nights, and the washer/dryer works well and looks new. The WiFi also works well, so when it wasn’t boardgame night, Netflix came up fine on the TV, and the living room’s couches and chairs are super comfortable for lounging and being teenagers. Finally, Eric was a terrific and responsive host when I had a question or three. We really appreciated his family home’s wooden floors and furniture throughout, and liked its simple charm and lack of fussiness.

We were in the Adirondacks for IronMan Lake Placid with the addition of a family vacation. Because of this vacation piece, we wanted to stay somewhere a bit more off the grid than Lake Placid. We were immediately drawn to the farm property, the quiet, the lack of cars, and access to the local towns. This property provided all of this. The property itself is beautiful. It’s a small valley nestled into the surrounding mountains so the views you get are awesome. The little trails around the acreage are sweet for an evening or morning stroll. Star gazing is awesome since you’re protected from ambient city light. The isolation is just enough— you’re far enough away to feel genuinely unplugged while still close enough to the nearby towns for access to amenities. The house itself is an historic farmhouse, so going into it with this expectation is key. It was comfortable for our family with a 12, 14, 17 year old and 2 grand parents. The upstairs bedrooms have tons of sleeping space, and the downstairs bedroom is great for a little extra privacy. Even though you’re off the grid, there’s still decent wifi and TV in order to enjoy an evening family movie. The kitchen was stocked well enough for us to cook a variety of regular meals and eat together every evening while enjoying the view through the large dining area window. There was no air conditioning, but this was not a problem because the open windows were great for a natural breeze and kept the house comfortable, even with the high near 90 degree temps of several of our days. There were fans for every room as well. Eric communicated well, and was receptive of my questions, comments, and needs. He even gave suggestions on food and fishing. Bonus— there’s a River about a 4 minute drive down the hill that is a beautiful fishing and chilling spot. My sons and I caught bass and trout here, one was a 20” large mouth! And, the roads are immaculate and wonderful for cycling.

Fantastic time here! House was SO clean everything super homie feeling. We had a great time!

Very quaint and comfortable, immaculately clean, toasty warm and spacious. A beautiful Adirondack setting and Eric was very pleasant and accommodating. We hope to have another family Christmas there
