A unique and spacious custom-built home, added in 1994 to the original 1800's home overlooking the Jay Range in charming Upper Jay, NY. The original home was built by one of the town's oldest families and a local business man, Mr. Silas Prime, in the mid 1800's, with the garage/home addition added in 1994. My wife and I live on the property in the older original home which is completely separate from the rental home.

This stately home is located 4 miles from Whiteface Mountain and 20 min from main street in Lake Placid. Surrounded by 100 foot white pines with rock garden landscaping, in addition to a large grassy area for a game of football.

Bathrooms are equipped with extra large pocket doorways and handicap railings. Some of the unique features include a large stocked galley kitchen with front load washer/dryer, granite counter-tops, skylights and a large hand cut granite fireplace with accompanying cathedral ceilings as part of the living room.
The master suite has a large walk in closet and a private porch overlooking the flower garden. Master bath has a Jacuzzi soaking tub with separate shower. The guest bedroom suite has large walk-in shower for easy access of a wheelchair.
Home includes three flat screen tv's, all connected to a streaming service. Built in desk adjacent to the kitchen. Water filtration system available. Walk in pantry will provide ample space.

What a lovely, clean, filled with everything you need, home! The inside of the home is architecturally beautiful. The fireplace is breathtaking. Everything is spotless and comfortable. You feel like you are in a home that has been loved.The beds and linens are wonderful and perfect for a good night sleep tucked away in nature. The kitchen has everything and more that you might need. The screened in porch is inviting and so relaxing. Rex and Cay are more than accommodating and communicate quickly and clearly. I am so glad that we chose this home for out “home away from home”,

Parson Place is a very nice, warm, beautifully decorated house that is about 10 drive from Whiteface Mountain. It's very well equipped with pretty much anything you could need outside perishable food. The bedrooms are super comfortable, bathrooms are updated with big shower stalls, the living room with the large screen TV was amazing. Highly recommend.

Great location

This was a wonderful place to stay to enjoy the area around Lake Placid but be far enough away from the crowds to enjoy the quiet beauty as well. Rex and Cay were great hosts. Loved the villages of Keene and Keene Valley. Great proximity to Whiteface Mt area as well.

Not just a rental but a home away from home.

Very nice well equipped house that had everything you could need. It was very enjoyable and we appreciated the quality features, the fireplace and the furniture. Super close to Whiteface Mountain and we loved the skiing.

This was the 2nd time we stayed here. Since our 1st stay only 3 things have changed1- Elevator is no longer available 2-You can no longer park in the garage 3- Entrance is now around backI was planning on backing into the garage and using the elevator to make it easier to bring in my groceries and luggage. So at 1st I was a bit disappointed. However that quickly changed when the owners took it upon themselves and brought everything into the house for me. This was greatly appreciated since I have limited use of my right arm due to a torn rotator cuff (Which they were unaware of). The house is clean, well taken care of and has absolutely EVERYTHING you need. The yard was perfect for our Easter Egg hunt. We will definitely be back.

This was the second time we stayed at Parson Place and the home is beautiful, clean and spacious, providing all the amenities we needed. We used the kitchen and dining room for many family meals and there was no shortage of pots, pans, dinnerware, glasses and utensils. The home was in close proximity to everywhere we wanted to go in The Adirondacks, including Whiteface and Lake Placid. The hosts were right next door and were always available if we needed anything. Absolutely no complaints at all!
