Beautiful house and property - great for groups

My group of 12 people stayed at the River Ranch for a week in December. The ranch is huge and beautiful. We spent most of our time in the main room and dining room. The large dining table was good for board games. The downstairs room is also large, and has a table that's suitable for board games.

The expansive trails around the property were wonderful for snowshoeing - we got rentals in Lake Placid. The views from inside the house onto the property are beautiful as well.

If I plan another large group trip to the Lake Placid area, I'll definitely stay here again.

We stayed here for President's Day Weekend to ski at Whiteface. After a terrific day with ideal conditions, the rest of the weekend was bitterly cold so we ended up spending much more time in the house than we otherwise would. The house is a sprawling ranch with wood paneling throughout. The main area of the home is very large, and easily accommodated our large group. It has one of the largest fireplaces I've ever seen (including hotel lodges), and it is very beautiful with a roaring fire. There is a large picture window with a panoramic landscape of a large meadow, then forest with the mountains in the backdrop. It is stunning! The basement/playroom with TV has its own fireplace which is nearly as large. Otherwise, the house is more than functional: the kitchen is well-stocked for cooking, the beds were comfortable. The house is very close to the Olympic ski jump and quite convenient to Lake Placid as well. We would definitely return again!

Spectacular, we expect to be back!

Our multi-family getaway for skiing and New Years was simply spectacular. Sunrise and sunset in the great room are ultimately relaxing, we loved gathering there every evening. We are indebted to Scott and Gil (property managers) for thinking of everything, from restocking the firewood to giving great advice, often while we weren't looking. We expect to come back for the views, the quiet, the rustic warmth, and the stars in the night sky.

Fabulous retreat

Our family stayed at River Ranch to celebrate our parents 50th anniversary and it was perfect for a large family gathering. It was a fabulous location with amazing views of the mountains and groomed cross country ski trails right out the back door! It is really a magical location in winter. The beautiful house has a great sense of history and plenty of room for the family to spread out. I would reccommend this property for family gatherings!

Awesome Summer "Camp" experience for our family

Our family lives on the West Coast now, but we were delighted to return to the beauty of the Adirondacks last summer, and our stay at River Ranch was special. The ranch has so much character, definitely far from a cookie cutter rental home... From hikes and runs along the property trails to trips into L.P. and to the aerial / jumping shows at the historic Olympic ski jump to watching a lacrosse tournament; there was so much to do in Lake Placid. We enjoyed returning to the peaceful environs of River Ranch, enjoying sunset cocktails on the patio while grilling our steaks and dining on the screened porch. The casual elegance of River Ranch is timeless and appealed to all ages in our family. We hope to return this summer.

Owner's Response:

We are thrilled that you had a wonderful time, and look forward to hosting you at River Ranch again soon!

Great Place

My family spent several days at River Ranch with friends and we had a great time. It is a truly authentic Lake Placid home with a warm, old-fashioned feel. I was wishing we could have had it for Christmas! The fireplace is outstanding, everything was very comfortable and we just really enjoyed ourselves. There was plenty to do in the surrounding area and we are hoping to return again sometime soon.

The owners were very helpful when we were making our plans and everything was as we had hoped it would be. I've told a lot of friends about River Ranch so we might be heading back again next year.

I was pleased that we were able to bring along our two golden retrievers because there was a kennel and the garage, but I would have been even happier if we were able to bring them into the house!

Owner's Response:

So glad that you enjoyed your stay! Our yellow labs actually preferred their own miniature replica of River Ranch--in their heated dog house. They loved the trails, chasing squirrels, turkeys, quail, etc.;swimming in the Ausable River, and barking at the shooting stars and the moon. We look forward to welcoming you back to River Ranch again soon.
