This place is wonderful if you have a dog or kids, as the property is huge with a mowed lawn. Owner is very responsive, and the house had everything we needed. It’s located just down the road from the Jay Mountain trailhead (great hike!) and Adirondack Mountain Coffee. We really enjoyed the front porch and its views. Highly recommend for some peace and quiet.

This is a spectacular home with the beautiful Adirondack mountains in your backyard. The house is lovely. Plenty of room. Kitchen well equipped. I loved spending just hanging out on the porch enjoying the beautiful views, both day and night. I haven't seen so many in stars in a long time.. I would love there all year long if I could.

Jay Mountain Retreat is a hidden gem. It is a large property surrounded by wilderness offering a relaxing getaway with all the modern amenities. While we were there in winter, for the World Cup at Mt. Van Hoevenberg, it would be fabulous in any season for hiking, fishing or just enjoying nature. The owner was very responsive to our questions, and made sure the driveway was plowed in a timely fashion. There are two delicious restaurants at the bottom of the mountain and Keene has a few more options to offer. We recommend this VRBO and friends just rented in April. We hope to return sometime.

Beautiful home and property

This was a perfect getaway for our family! The property was beautiful and we enjoyed sitting on the porch, watching the sunset and stargazing. The home is very comfortable and inviting, and it's on a peaceful street with easy access to hikes and Lake Placid. We would love to return!
