Vacation Rentals by Owner

Weekend of winter fun!

Guest: Julie R.
Date of Stay: 01/13/12 Review Submitted: 01/16/12

Just came back from a wonderful weekend at Everest Dream and absolutely loved my stay! My group of ten went for a mini-vacation to spend in the country side, some of the group chose to ski while others went tubing or drove to the town area. Those that spent the daytime skiing went to Whiteface Mountain, which was a short 3 mile drive away. The mountain was great with plenty of trails and beautiful scenery. Those that drove to nearby Lake Placid described the town as very charming and also thoroughly enjoyed tubing as well. At night, we had good old fashioned fun of card games, grilling food, and general chit chat/bonding. The house is very cozy, well-kept, clean and nicely decorated. Each room has a theme adding to the overall ambience. As I read in another review, the only (very slight) drawback is one of the "rooms" is not actually a room- it is a study with a futon with no closed off door. This wasn't a problem with my group as no one was seeking ultra privacy as we went for a feeling of group togetherness. The amenities listed are all accurate and provided. We had some minor problems with the hot tub- the screen where the temperature is digitally shown was not working so I had to guess if it was hot enough and sort of blindly increase the temperature. It still worked though, nonetheless- though there was one day we couldn't seem to get it hot enough. The owner also emails nearby restaurants and attractions, and there are some nice looking places. I didn't happen to shop around or see these places as we chose to stay in the house for the most part. Wilmington is very beautiful and the views from the house are breathtaking. Even just standing outside at night and seeing the stars so clearly was a treat. Getting out of the suburban/urban areas for just a weekend really brings me a lot of joy and happiness. Thank you again for providing us with a wonderful weekend. We hope to come again soon!

Owner response: Thank you so much Julie for taking your time to share your Adirondack experience at Everest Dream! It is most appreciated ;-) We are so glad to hear that you have enjoyed your stay in Wilmington, and are really happy that we were able to accommodate your request for an extended time on your departure day. It sounds like you made the best of the time you had there. I'm very sorry that you had to deal with the challenging control panel on the hot tub ;-( We have looked in to it and are happy to report that a new one is in it's place ;-) Thank you for choosing to stay with us! Best, Renata

The house was as pictured but the setting was a little surprising when I arrived. Unfortunately the house sits very close to another house that is rather run down and is also fairly residential (the nearby church bells going off hourly got to be a bit much). To their credit, the owners have done a great job with privacy fences and the grounds were well very kept. There is access to the water (but no views from the house) and the steepness of the bank near the river and the lack of a hand rail kept the older members of our party from gaining access. My single biggest complaint with the house is the exhaust associated with the hot water heater. It was very warm during our week (we needed the windows open) but when somebody would take a shower the exhaust would fill the house with choking fumes. The vent appears to be at ground level and below several windows. This was VERY frustrating. We also had trouble with the smoke alarms going off. Two nights in a row (around 12:30am) they woke the house up. This caused me to conduct a complete search to ensure there were no issues (there weren't). It's possible that the extreme humidity and/or the exhaust set them off.. Regardless, this ruined two nights sleep. It did, however, contribute to several new family stories. We ended up cutting our vacation a day short. I suspect this would be an excellent rental during the winter (when you can keep the windows closed). You can't deny the beauty of the location and it's very central to many attractions in the area (a great home base). The gazebo was definitely a high point. The kitchen was very well equipped and we ate most of our meals at the house. The owners were also very responsive when we contacted them with concerns. The care taker was VERY helpful pointing out locations (beach, fishing, etc) (thank you so much!). It's possible we just had a particularly bad week.

Everest Dream IS a dream vacation rental!

Our stay in February 2011 at Everest Dream WAS like being in a pure white Adirondack dream-land -- watched over by the many changing faces of nearby Whiteface Mountain. After glorious sunny days snowshoeing and skiing in the locale's famed winter wonderland we luxuriated with a glass of wine snuggled up in front of the fire or soaking our bones out in the hot tub. The house more than lives up to its pictures -- it radiates comfort and charm and the owner has a deft designer's touch that is never trite or tedious and there's a wonderfully well-appointed kitchen for hearty gourmet meals. The ample grounds stretch all the way down to the lake and include a magical gazebo. Set at the edge of the quiet Village of Wilmington, the house is conveniently close to the bustle of Lake Placid in the heart of the Adirondacks. All in all, Everest Dream is truly a wonderful timeless place to relax, recharge and get away from it all. Five stars for sure!

Date of Stay: 01/28/11 Review Submitted: 02/05/11

Great home! Well kept up, clean, towels/linens all taken care of, big living/eating area. Awesome hot tub and nice big property. Approximately a 5 minute drive to White Face! Great skiing!! Only negative is that the 4th bedroom is not technically a bedroom. Its a room very nicely kept and with a pull out futon, but it is in an open living area away from the living/dining rooms, though. The owner is great, easy to communicate and make arrangements with. I'd stay here again!

Awesome Ski Weekend

Date of Stay: 01/21/11 Review Submitted: 02/03/11

Went up with 6 friends on our annual Whiteface ski trip. Plenty of space for all of us to sleep and hang out comfortably. Hot tub was amazing, it is right outside the backdoor making it easy to get in and out without freezing to death. Would highly recommend this rental to anybody looking for a relaxing/fun weekend of skiing during the day and relaxing at night. Not much going on in Town when we were there, but Lake Placid is a short 15 - 20 min drive away. In addition we have a golden retriever who is very active and the large backyard was perfect for her.

Nightmare Rental

Guest: vacationlover (Denville, NJ)
Date of Stay: 01/08/11 Review Submitted: 01/20/11

We rented this house for a relaxing family weekend getaway. Relaxing it was not! The plumbing backed up and feces spewed all over the downstairs. Yes, these things happen ..I suppose. It ruined one of our days as we attempted to clean, protect the owners belongings, find a suitable place to stay etc. Worse than that was the owners response. First trying to put us up in a hotel resembling 'Deliverance", offering another property an hr away in a blizzard that slept only half of our party, and finally blaming us for the problem. Owners ended up refunding one night which did not in any way even cover the hotel rooms for 10 people and the additional meals we had to spring for since we no longer had access to a kitchen. Certainly not the way to treat your guests after such a harrowing experience. The decent thing to do would have been to graciously apologize and refund the weekend for the horrible inconvenience. Nice house, but would absolutely not recommend dealing with these people!!

Owner response:Like you, I wish that this Nightmare hadn’t happened, and that neither one of us had to experience the emotional stress and unpleasantness of this situation. Lorraine, you yourself expressed that the house was in perfect shape in your praising email upon your arrival. There was no evidence whatsoever of any sort of problem with plumbing or drainage raised from the continuous guests we have had staying in the house. The house was inspected, cleaned and laundry done before your arrival. Ten people of your party stayed in the house, using plumbing facilities without any problems, until there was a clog the caused the back-up of the sewage on the last day of your stay. The fact is that you didn't call me to report the problem, as asked in our rental agreement, instead you tried to fix it yourself, in result causing more back up to both the toilet and the bath tub. When we finally received your call, hours later, we responded right away. The Roto-Rooter company was scheduled to arrive in an hour to fix the problem, clean up and disinfect the affected areas. When you expressed your discomfort with staying in the house under the circumstances, I offered, with no hesitation, to refund your money for that night so you could seek alternative lodgings. I also offered you another rental property that we own, (half an hour away) at no charge. You didn’t like it because it was too far form Mountain. After the problem was fixed that night I was informed by the plumbing company that they pulled out a sanitary napkin out while cleaning the pipes, which was what had clogged the toilet. Even though you mentioned earlier that the only person that was at the house, when the accident happened was a “not feeling well teenage girl“ I am not assuming that you were responsible for this clog, and am not holding your responsible for it, even though the evidence may point to that. We gave the benefit of a doubt and refunded your full damage security deposit. We didn't charge you the $100 cleaning fee. We refunded you the cost of your last day stay with us, which more than covered the lodging that you found in lake Placid. However, when you suggested that I file an insurance claim and refund your the money for the whole weekend, under the threat of a negative review, I chose not to do that...

Renata and Charly, I wanted to take a few seconds to thank you on behalf of our family. We truly enjoyed our stay at Everest Dream. You will never know how much it meant to us. This summer, we initially were going to Destin Florida for the first time. However, with the oil situation in the Gulf, we decided that the uncertainty of the water would be troublesome to our plans. So in the matter of a few months, our emotions went from excitement, anticipation, concern, anxiety, and finally disappointment. We cancelled our trip to Florida… My wife, Holly, took it very hard. She had her heart set on relaxing on the beach, and exploring the wonders of the ocean. This is where our paths then crossed. When I shared pictures of your beautiful place with my wife, it rekindled her spirits. We grew up in Upstate New York, and had visited Lake Placid many times. My wife and daughter have skated at the Olympic rinks. And now, we could enjoy and explore the region for a whole week. I forgot how peaceful a night’s sleep can be after a day of fishing, canoeing, and hiking. Your hot tub was a special treat to our muscles that made the following mornings much easier to arise. I forgot how beautiful the mountains and streams are. Your canoe was well used by our whole family to get in touch with the North Country’s nature. I forgot how peaceful nighttime could be. Your gazebo gave us an opportunity to watch the stars and fireflies. I forgot how a simple graham cracker, chunk of chocolate, and marshmallow could bring pleasure to the taste buds. I forgot how frustrating and then rewarding it could be to get a fish to actually take the bait. (I could go on and on…) We have 2 teenage children that will be off to college within a couple years. Time is the most precious gift that my wife and I have with them. Every morning and evening my son wanted to spend time with me out on the water. Every day my daughter wanted to take a little walk to find some spots for her to master her photography. Every evening my wife wanted to cuddle next to me and just enjoy a little carefree timeliness. Our week at your place brought our family a bit closer. Our times in the Adirondacks always seems to. Thank you so much for sharing your Everest Dream. We so much enjoyed everything that she offered. God Bless Always.

The owners also were sure to give us plenty of great tips on things to do. We added our own kayaks and went to boogie board on some flowing white water over river rocks.

This house really feels like a home. Every room has a very personal touch to it. The hot tub outside is a great asset and the kitchen is extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly want. In addition to relaxing in front of the fireplace and enjoying tons of space around the house, the surroundings were also very beautiful and peaceful. This was definitely an upgrade from the other houses we have stayed at in Vermont. The mountain is close and very easy to get to as long as you have a car. I would strongly recommend!

This was our first rental with VRBO and we were the first renters at Everest Dream. It remains until this day the best place that we have rented. It was just soooo cozy and romantic. Very nicely furnished. The view from the water and the automn leaves were simply stuning. We went for a little peaceful boat ride. It was one of the most relaxing weekend.

Owner response:So good to hear from you Rachelle! Thank you for your kind words!!! We always remember our First Renters! It's like with our first LOVE, it never gets forgotten ;-) Yes, and I remember the brand new toaster oven with the cardboard left inside!!! It's time for you to come back! Renata
