We celebrated a 40th anniversary with our kids here and couldn't have been happier with our stay. The beds were comfy, the kitchen well equipped, the living room large and loungy, and the sauna an added bonus. We didn't have time to try the watercraft but they looked great. We liked everything about the place.

Property was nice and clean, had a great time using the paddleboard. Definitely recommend the sauna after a day of hiking and activities.
For kitchen enthusiasts, there is a hidden vent hood over the stove. Glorious.
You can walk to town but they werent kidding when they said it was an uphill climb.

We traveled from different areas and met in Lake placid. The property had 3 bedrooms for the 3 couples. The facilities served our needs nicely. We especially enjoyed the sauna and a sit around the fire pit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was cozy and well-appointed. The location was great, within walking distance to town and within easy driving distance of great hiking. The kayaks and SUP were fun and the sauna a special treat. We would definitely stay again!

3 generations under 1 roof! Great place for grandparents, parents, and kids to stay. Paddling on Mill pond on the provided watercraft was really fun. The sauna was lovely. House was a short walk to downtown Lake Placid.

The six of us spent two nights at Terry's lovely house. We totally love it! The house was very clean. Sauna on the first floor was a pleasant surprise. The first floor of the house is thoughtfully arranged. Big kitchen made our breakfast cooking job easy and enjoyable. By the way the ground coffee Terry provided was excellent! (Terry, where did you get that?) Love the living room with a great view of the pond! We certainly took Terry's offer to use the 3 kayaks and a canoe to paddle around the pond after backing from our long hike. We even tried fishing, unfortunately with no luck of any catch. The view on the pond was fantastic and so memorable. We would love to come back again!

Wonderful experience. Well equipped home on a beautiful pond. Lake Placid is a nice place to visit. We ate out but loved the house.

Great communication with owner.
Access to the property was easy once we found the shared driveway. Quiet, tucked away little place with all the necessities and very close to the main area of town. Also a quick drive to Whiteface or the Olympic training facilities.
Stairs to the second floor and all the bedrooms are narrow and steep, that is my only caution for renting with children or elderly family
Enjoyed our stay, thank you very much!

Overall great stay at a nice LP location. Recommend graphite for door hinges, better mattresses/beds and bedrm luggage rack/foldout stands for suitcases. Trash cans for rooms. Recommend one king. Overall Aok but these would greatly improve comfort.

We had a fantastic time in Lake Placid. The kids had plenty to do in a safe environment. They spent a lot of time running around the front yard, fishing off the dock, and of course, playing with the nerf guns. We took evening trips out on the river with the kayaks that were provided at the house. The fire pit was also a hit at night. It was clean, had everything we needed, and was big enough to give us space as necessary. All in all, a great place to stay.

We loved the outside of the property: flowers, plants, Adirondack chairs, raspberry bushes, dock with a view of the serene Chubb pond.
Interior: clean, plush carpeting upstairs, spacious bathrooms, nice bedding, and large picture windows in the living room overlooking the pond.
5.0
This was a beautiful house in a beautiful spot. We stayed with 4 small children and there was plenty of room for them to play outside, since the house is not directly on the road this felt very safe. The very short path to the dock and pond was perfect and we kayaked several times since it was so convenient. It was a convenient walk to town and the Mirror lake beach that we spent some great time at. The main living area was quite roomy and comfortable for our whole family. There were lots of ceiling fans but on the warmer days it got kind of warm inside and needed the extra box fans that were provided. If sensitive to heat may be difficult without air conditioning. Overall a great place to stay and we had a wonderful time.

Fantastic location on a beautiful spot. We stayed here for Ironman, and this place provided plenty for older kids and adults to do. The pond is very pretty and calm. The house is not very infant friendly, as we have a 1 year old, but we knew this before arriving after emailing with the owner about what infant stuff we needed to bring. Terry did communicate well. Our 1 year old also enjoyed picking and eating the fresh, ripe raspberries.
Only a couple minor complaints:
The window blinds are paper thin, so we ended up using towels to block out the morning sun.
Also, there were no bathing washcloths, which is strange to me.
Finally, this is more of an FYI, but there is a portable A/C unit available that is loud, but gets the job done. It reached 93° one day, so we were thankful the A/C was there to use.
I wanted to give this house a higher review, because it is a great location on a beautiful spot, but the house is in need of some TLC (one of the windows fell in when my wife opened it because it's off its track, and the back door is very hard to open, close, and lock), minor updating (better window coverings in the bedrooms, and additional lamps), and a deep cleaning (look under the furniture).

Perfect walk to Lake Placid village, our older kids really enjoyed the kayaks and canoe. They had a great time with the nerf guns as well! Would stay here again.

The house was immaculate. The amenities were wonderful. As advertised the walk to town only takes about 10 minutes and the pond was great for many hours of relaxing on the dock, kayaking, and swimming. The water is shallow near the dock which is great for swimming kids.

We had a wonderful time staying here. We came for a lacrosse tournament and added on a few extra days to enjoy the area. The location is perfect. It only took us a few minutes to drive anywhere we wanted to go and it was about a 20 minute walk to downtown. We mostly drove and parked since we had a little one, which was never an issue. The house had everything we needed and we loved having the SUP and kayaks. We were on the pond everyday! Each morning we would see the groundhogs munching flowers in the yard, ducklings with their parents floating in the pond and lots of birds flying around. We even saw a deer walking through the yard one morning. Some of the restaurants we recommend are Lisa G’s (walking distance), Big Mountain Deli & Creperie, Soulshine Bagel Shop, Origin Coffee and The Cottage Restaurant. Thank you for a great week!!

This property was perfect for our four day trip to Lake Placid. The host was excellent in terms of communication before when arrived. The house and surrounding area of the house was lovely. The kayaks and paddle boards were a bonus . Having coffee and condiments in the house was a welcome touch . Would definitely recommend this place

The house was perfect for our weekend getaway. Beautiful view onto a pond, short walk/drive to Main Street in Placid, and the SAUNA! The sauna was amazing after our long hike. Thank you!

We had a really great weekend with beautiful weather to enjoy the autumn foliage in LP! The house and property are an absolute gem, perfect location...so much to see and do. We enjoyed a camp fire, kayaking on the pond and having coffee on the deck while relaxing and enjoying the scenery. Very clean and comfortable and a sauna which we tried out of course!

There was no firewood for the fireplace and you pay a lot of money for a cleaning fee and they make you take the sheets off of all the beds.

My husband and I and our 2 friends had a beautiful time staying at this home belonging to Terry and Bridget... It's a very comfortable place and was just so relaxing resting on the deck or in the living room, staring out at the pond and listening to the birds sing! Communication was awesome and we truly had everything we needed for for a comfortable stay! I love the Lake Placid region and hope to stay in this cozy home again in the future!

We had a great stay in Lake Placid. The house was clean and ready for our arrival, with all the relevant information easily accessible. We loved having the kayaks and being able to use them right from the house. We enjoyed using the fire pit and the sauna throughout our stay. We easily walked to town for shopping and dinners. The house and grounds were well-maintained with beautiful flower beds. Bridget and Terry did a great job providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Thank you!

Nice, clean home. Owners were great through entire process. Kids loved the pond. Walk into town is uphill but then again downhill on way back!!

We really enjoyed everything about the place. Hosts were great. We had no problems, good proximity to town, but just far enough away. it’s nice to be close to Lisa G’s too. Amazing time spent on kayaks and SUPs. Great place for families too. We will certainly be back!

The house was close to all of the Lake Placid sites which was really key! The house itself was clean, comfortable and perfect for our needs. It was great overlooking the pond as we drank coffee. The weather during our stay wasn’t great so we were so thankful to have a comfortable space to play games and hang out while waiting for the rain to stop. I’d def recommend this host and location

This was such a wonderful and cozy place to stay! We especially loved the access to the pond. It was so peaceful to take the kayaks out for a morning ride. The sauna may have been our favorite feature as it was a chilly/rainy weekend!

Had a great stay- all was as listed, and we appreciated the included household incidentals, like hand soap and detergent. Loved having the kayaks and sup. Owners were easy to communicate with, and accommodating of a late checkout.

Cozy, family friendly home that was perfect for our time away while our son and fiancée were visiting from Oregon. Use of the kayaks, SUPs & canoe were also a great addition. We were lucky to have temps in the 80's, enjoy the outdoors during the day & sit by the fire pit at night. This home is centrally located to be able to walk into Lake Placid Village or take a quick drive to any Olympic venue or mountain trailhead.Thank you for allowing us to spend time in your home while we were away from ours!Debbie Wild and family

Fantastic home. Fantastic owners (Thank you Terry and Bridget!). We really enjoyed our stay. We found our new spot to stay whenever we visit LP...we just hope it's available when we want to go because this place is simply great! House is very well kept and very clean. House has space so you're not on top of each other. 3BR, 2BA, W/D, sauna, deck, dock, fire pit. We felt away from the bustle of main street but we were just a few minutes walk from it...best of both worlds. We honestly couldn't be happier with our stay. We hope we get to stay again. Terry and Bridget were terrific hosts. Thank you again!
