Very Nice property, nicely appointed. Communications with the host were excellent. Instruction for check in & out thorough. Beautiful balcony with views. Everything was as described. Private. Just a bit further out of town, which we knew no surprises. Air conditioning would be an extra perk as it was warm. Otherwise we had a nice stay!
2nd time staying here. Awesome condo that is very clean and well stocked. And the view….. amazing. My wife and I really enjoyed the long weekend here as we celebrated her birthday. We will absolutely be back!
Very nice, quiet place overlooking Lake Placid. Spacious interior, great deck to enjoy the beautiful Adirondack weather. We loved how well-stocked the kitchen was.
The photos don’t do this condo justice. Great spot, great communication with host.

Tom,
Thank you for your review. It is very beautiful here and we’ve tried to capture the views from the condo to share with guests. Having the camera able to accurately photograph the ever changing sky, and the Lake and Mountain views we get is generally impossible most of the time. The breath of the view is hard to replicate in photos.
Thank you again. Glad you had a good stay. Please come back. Margaret
Our family enjoyed our stay. This property was clean and comfortable. Conveniently located close to town and 20 minutes from Whiteface. Would recommend.
We loved The Overlook Perch.
Have stayed in a few different Lake Placid condos, yours is the best by far!
Awesome view, clean, comfortable and well stocked.
Already looking forward to a return trip.
Thanks for being such a gracious host.

Please do come again. I’m so glad you found the condo clean and comfortable. Our cleaning staff does a wonderful job and we rely heavily on them to keep the condo in excellent shape. Be well, Margaret
Nice spot with gorgeous views. I could sit on the deck and read my book all day. Kitchen and appliances were updated and modern. Everything was very clean. Bed pillows were laughably flat.

Sorry the pillows didn't work for you. SInce everyone's likes are different, we have flat, fluffy and foam pillows I'll check to make sure we have a variety.

Great Stay at Overlook Perch
Had a great stay with my two teenage daughters. The setup of the condo was excellent and has everything you'll need to have a great time in Lake Placid. Well appointed with everything and a great deck with view of Lake Placid. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely stay here again when we return. Margaret was also great to deal with and had excellent communication.

Tim,
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. So glad you and your daughters enjoyed it. Hope you had some good family time which is often hard to find in our very busy lives. We also love the views of the mountains and lake from the condo, and how nature shows itself. I often just stare at the view. We also love that the condo is located in easy walking distance to the swimming beach, hiking trails, tennis, golf, and restaurants. Please do come again and thanks so much for your review. Margaret
Lovely condo. Very clean. Beautifully decorated. Kitchen extremely well appointed. Fantastic view of Whiteface. Location very quiet but extremely close to fun, food, and shopping. Thank you for a very satisfying stay.

Thank you for the lovely review, but your 1 star should really be a 4-5 star. This error happens on occasion. So glad you enjoyed your stay. Please come again!
Overall this condo is great for 3-4 people. It’s a little smaller than expected but it made up for that with location, amenities and an amazing view! Despite a rainy week we were able to make the most of Lake Placid since the condo is in good proximity to town and hiking trails. Owner thought of everything you might need. This is definitely a great option for a small family or couples.
Overlook Perch met all our expectations. The views were amazing, and the "information book" was very helpful. The unit was well appointed, and comfortable. The host is awesome! Would recommend to others!

The perfect space
I rented this house for ironman week because I didn't want to deal with the crowd in the village. Everything in the house is perfect, I love watching the sunrise and whiteface every morning. Cannot wait to come back again!!

Thank you for this wonderful review. We also love the sunrise and glistening lake in the mornings.The 180 degree view from the condo makes for ever changing scenes of the sky, lake and mountains. At sunset the light on the mountains casts beautiful shadows. In winter it’s called “Alpine Glow” causing a pink hue over the mountains and in the sky.
The condo is so near to stores and town, but being a few miles away makes it the perfect distance for both quiet and convenience. Please do come again.
