The house is even more impressive in person! I love all of the unique details throughout like the moose drawer pulls in the main level bathroom. The owner was very responsive with my questions beforehand. I would definitely stay here again!

Everything about this property was top-notch, from the location to the Adirondack style, to the thoughtful touches throughout. The location in Keene is just a very short ride to Lake Placid, but honestly we didn’t stray too far from home base. There are so many hiking trails nearby, with lovely shops and markets as well. We stocked up on groceries in Saranac Lake at the Aldi there, so didn’t even have to go out for meals. We would highly recommend this home!!

This was an amazing property! It was clean, beautiful, spacious and well appointed. It was perfect for our extended family that included 2 small children and 6 adults.
We enjoyed the sound system, the fireplace and the fabulous kitchen. The decor was so tasteful and perfect for a mountain home. We’d love to stay there again!

My family and I had a wonderful stay here. The property is very nice and the owner was the most responsive I’ve experienced. The pictures are very accurate, and the interiors are absolutely lovely and very comfortable. All the amenities you could ever want. Great spot for a family get together. The check in process was simple and the owner provided a very helpful property book that explained everything prior to trip.

When we travel to ADK, we are always hoping for some time to just rest and enjoy the mountains. We came here with three generations, and everyone loved the property. We spent hours sitting on the porch enjoying the view, the kids loved the foosball table in the basement, and the kitchen was incredibly well appointed. Thanks for the great stay!

Thoughtful and Quiet
Convenient location to all the hikes and to Lake Placid in a very quiet setting. The location and house is great for families and also outdoor enthusiasts. House is well thought out with Adirondack decor and twig work. Property was clean and is convenient for more than one family as each main sleeping area has its own bathroom and floor.

This house was an amazing spot for our family to stay during Ironman weekend. Close enough to Lake Placid to easily get in and out of town. Plenty of space for all of us to relax, dine together, etc. And the giant porch was fantastic to relax any time day or night. Highly recommended if you are staying in this area.

Perfect location for a quiet, mountain family getaway
The property is immaculate, beautiful, and well-suited for a family vacation. We enjoyed the porch, the fireplace, and the game room. Local hikes were easy to access. Sitting on the porch, you see the mountains and hear only a rushing stream and songbirds.
Chris was a wonderful host with quick replies and many suggestions for area fun.
We normally spend 101-4 days camping in the central ADKs in the summer. This was a different experience in the High Peaks Region and the home was a great place to return to after a day of exploring.

Perfect Spot
the house, the property, and the owner all exceeded expectations. the house was perfect for our needs. the fireplace/hearth was amazing and right up our alley. Chris was an excellent host, communication was easy and prompt, very responsive. There was quite a bit of back forth as we contemplated extending our stay due to weather and also shear enjoyment and chris was super accommodating and gracious. We would definitely stay again and would highly recommend. the town of keene is lovely and the house is super convenient to town. just an overall great experience.

Incredible Adirondack property
This is a beautiful property in a great location just outside of Keene. The property is remote (though there is prompt plowing during snow storms), but only a short distance from Keene and a full range of outdoor activities (in the winter - skiing, ice skating, cross country skiing, snow shoeing, ice climbing, just to name a few).
The home itself is well appointed, clean, and had everything we needed, including broadband internet access. The views are incredible, both those overlooking the mountains from the porch and those next the large hearth in the living area.
The host was also very responsive, ensuring we had everything we needed prior to and during our arrival. We will certainly be staying here again.

This is a beautiful property just five minutes from the quaint town of Keene. We loved the solitude, the quiet, and we’re delighted with how many hikes within 15 minutes of the house. We were also huge fans of the fireplace and spent more than one evening staring into the flames. The house was perfectly appointed and had everything we needed. We loved starting here!

We rented this house for a couple of weeks in August and couldn’t have been happier. The location is secluded yet close to all that Keene, Wilmington, and Lake Placid have to offer. The house itself is roomy and well appointed and the view from the deck of Giant and Hurricane are absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately the weather was unusually warm for late August in the Adirondacks so we didn’t get a chance to use the fire pit. Lastly the owners were very communicative and made check in and check out very easy.

Majestic Mountain Getaway
This was our second time staying at the Mountain Retreat: Heart of High Peaks. The home is absolutely stunning, well-apportioned and impeccably clean. It is the perfect Adirondack getaway and ideally situated. The private location affords peace and solitude, yet it is conveniently close to trailheads, Keene, Lake Placid and other destinations. We will be back!!

Our family of 8 had a fantastic week at this lovely ADK home. Super clean! - immaculate. The layout of the home provides great gathering spaces in the kitchen and family room as well as on the expansive porch. There are also ample spots to retreat to for privacy. Beds were very comfortable. Wonderful selection of games and puzzles! Close proximity to great shops and restaurants in Keene, Keene Valley and Lake Placid. Five stars, without reservation.

High Peaks Vacation
We spent a beautiful week as a family in the ADK. The home is beautiful with an awesome view of Hurricane Mountain and the Giant Wilderness. Great bird watching in the morning. Great location to be close to some great hikes and Lake Placid is 15 -20 minutes down the road.

The property is breathtaking and it also comes with a beautiful view. Sometimes you simply cannot put into words how you feel after your vacation but I promise you will not be disappointed. What I will say is a perfect cabin makes for an even better experience. We felt at home the moment we arrived. The owners provide you with everything needed for your visit. It is a wonderful retreat after spending time in the mountains…so enjoy!!!

Outdoor paradise
This is the perfect place if you enjoy outdoor activities or would just prefer solitude. The location puts you in close proximity too many High peak hikes and a short driving distance to Lake Placid. This property gives you a luxurious cabin appeal with a very large wraparound deck, that has a wonderful view.

Quiet location and beautiful home with a nice view of the mountains. We spent a lot of nights in front of the fireplace and playing ping-pong. Close to Whiteface for downhill skiing, Mt. Van Hoevenberg for cross-country, and Adirondack Loj for snowshoeing/hiking.

Winter Reprieve
This is THE perfect place for amazing mountain views during the day from throughout the house, awesome and authentic Adirondack sized woodburning fireplace for the nights. We were so fortunate to be here, to be in the middle of all the things Mother Nature provides: hiking, nature , snow shoing etc. Chris was one of the best hosts we've ever had and we've rented a lot of places. 5 Star all the way !
