Great place and location

This is a great place, great location, there are neighbors but through a healthy amount of woods. There are a lot of trails around, including the neighborhood. Would stay here again.

Family ADK vacation 2024

We booked the lodge for our annual ADK family vacation. We loved the peacefulness of the neighborhood. The skiball and fuseball games in the basement were a wonderful touch and we also loved the fire pit and the hot tub. The house was beautiful and the air conditioning was also a welcome bonus!!! Very quiet and cozy! Looking forward to booking again in the future.

Great getaway in Jay

Loved our stay! We've been to Jay several times and this place stood out. Spacious, with plenty of seating for all, as well as perfect location to get to Placid, Keene, Plattsburgh, Ausauble or other day-trip sites. The drive way appears daunting from the main road, but, accessible in dry weather. Definitely need all-wheel or four-wheel drive in snow or very wet weather. Hot tub was clean, not overly chlorinated, and like thenrest of the property, well maintained. Definitely would stay again!

It was exactly what we were looking for - a quiet secluded retreat in the Adirondacks after a week in Manhattan - and it lived up to the expectations.

Epic relaxation time!

This was the most peaceful stay; we grilled, spent time in the hot tub, we’re only 40 minutes from Lake Placid and a little closer to Whiteface Mountain, and it was a quick, restful trip. I would absolutely stay here again! The house was clean and every amenity we needed was present and available, and the host was immediately responsive.

Wedding anniversary getaway

We absolutely loved our stay!!! Our host, Kara, was super helpful and accommodations were stellar. The atmosphere was wonderful and relaxing and we couldn't have had a better time celebrating our 4 year anniversary ❤️, after just one stay we already want to make it a tradition to stay at this lovely lodge. Our dogs even loved the place! They just pranced the property like it was their new home 🤣🤣. Highly recommend for any family occasion!!
