We had a memorable stay at the bungalow- amazing fall mountain views from the front porch! House was well supplied, clean, and private. Its great to have use of the garage- plenty of room to store our bikes & gear.

Kate’s place is wonderful for a quiet place to stay near hiking and Olympic center activities. A walkable playground and market and restaurant were all great bonuses!

Five stars all the way across - I only say 4 for price as Keene and Keene Valley are getting expensive these days. Like everything, I suppose. Worth it, in my opinion, as this is a lovely spot well positioned. And the area is stunning. The house is great, easy to manage, access, and live in. The host has thought of EVERYTHING, and anything you need or might need has been considered. It makes it easy. We'll certainly come back.

Perfect spot to access the ADK High Peaks

The bungalow was perfect! It offered easy access to find it, it was clean, had all the amenities you need, walking distance to food, groceries, etc. and a great spot to access all the ADK High Peaks have to offer: climbing, hiking, fishing, etc. Kate was great to work with, very quick to respond and super helpful. I’ll definitely be back.

Amazing view right out of the front door..

I wish we had stayed longer. I didn't want to leave. The place has everything you will need and more. Wait til you meet the neighbors, If you haven't dreamed of moving to the mountains... You will after seeing how happy they are 🙂 We even met the caretaker, very nice gentleman. When you come to stay definitely have the fire at night, the stars alone make it worth it. Don't forget the s'mores, but if you do there's a Stewart's store within walking distance that has literally anything you want. We will absolutely be back next year, hopefully sooner. Thank you 😊

Hiking getaway

Kate is very responsive and quickly cleared up an issue with the VRBO app billing. Her place is a great mountain getaway, plenty of space, very close to trailheads and walking to a great coffee/food shop and restaurant, but less close to lake placid itself for groceries and more food options. Older house but plenty of fans are provided and despite being 90+ some days was still plenty comfortable. Wifi was excellent, no problem teleworking with video conferencing. Small kitchen but much better than average cookware and cutlery, new washing machine and dryer were great. Kate's photography and artwork throughout the house are also beautiful!

Great stay at Hilltop Bungalow

We were 4 women who wanted a cozy house where we could cook, eat and sleep for a couple of nights while we had a hiking adventure in the mountains. And it was just the ticket. Simple, rustic, but very comfortable. Host was most gracious and responsive. Would absolutely go back

Keene bungalow

Very convenient to down town Keene, hiking, swimming, biking. Very well appointed. Spacious 2 car garage. Super friendly and helpful neighbors. Host really helpful, available and friendly. Price was right. Old and funky. Old two prong outlets and not enough of them. Second bedroom cramped with cheap metal table and shelves for modem and printer. Too small for a bureau. Most windows throughout the house had broken sashes that had to be held up with dowels. Hook and eye locking system for front porch of house. Very difficult to work locks on the screen doors to house. No shelf space in bathroom to put toiletries. Only one rack for a towel. Words for house need to be updated for Wi-fi access(wrong house name and password) and where to put compost. The neighbors let us use theirs because if you put it behind the garage, neighbors dog and other animals get to it. Overall I’d say if you don’t mind old and quirky, the price was right for what you get!

cozy and comfortable in a great location

A very sweet cottage perfect for our family for a multi week stay with our two kids and cat. Kate provided pretty much everything you would need to be comfortable- extra blankets, ample cooking equipment, soaps and shampoos, laundry detergent. The cottage was comfortable with a great sleeping porch with futon and hammock. Great location in Keene, easy to walk to several stores and Stewarts, easy to get to hiking trails and Keene Valley. We loved the neighbors. Loved the beautiful garden and expansive lawn with wild flowers, set back from the road. Internet connection was good for working from home. We didn't want to leave!

Great High Peaks Location

As always this year was great. That's 4 years in a row without issues. Great location for hiking the high peaks. Many swimming holes nearby also. Short drive to Lake Placid if you want to head that way for a day. If you absolutely rely on internet it's not very fast and can be frustrating but I did eventually get everything that I needed done. Relaxing place to stay with all the necesseties we need.
