About this property
Panoramic Mountain Views From This Private Mountain Cabin.
Giant's View Lodge is a breathtaking vacation rental cabin located in Keene Valley, mid-way up Porter Mountain in the Adirondacks. Peacefulness and privacy abound here, amidst a wooded backdrop with incredible views of Giant Mountain and the Southern end of the Great Range of the High Peaks. The sunny clearing features a gently sloping yard with lovely perennial gardens, a 50 foot wraparound deck, and a large screened porch for dining or enjoying the panoramic mountain views.
From the lodge it is only a 2 mile jaunt to "the Garden" (hiking trailhead), from which countless hiking and skiing trails can be accessed.
The lodge is a custom-built, 3,400 square-foot, beautifully appointed log home, with hardwood floors throughout, a fieldstone fireplace dominating the Great Room, cathedral ceilings, a fully equipped gourmet kitchen/dining area, complete with granite counters and new stainless steel appliances. Providing lodging for up to 12 adults, sleeping areas include four bedrooms plus a spacious sleeping loft, accompanied by three bathrooms, the master bath featuring a 2-person shower and 2-person deep soaking bathtub. Adirondack furnishings abound, and of course, floor-to-ceiling windows everywhere.
Extra fees per night for more than 4 guests are automatically applied at a rate of $25 per person. Note, this rate will be manually adjusted to $40 during peak season. If you have children under 15 years old, contact us for special family rates.
Pets are allowed at a fee of $100 per pet. Note, if you have more than one pet, VRBO will not automatically add the fees for the additional pets. Contact owner to arrange the extra pet payment.

About the host
Hosted by Laura & Ray Nardelli
Settling in Keene Valley in 1991, after purchasing and running Trail's End Inn for five years, we built our dream house overlooking Giant Mountain. Avid hikers, cyclists, rock climbers and general outdoor enthusiasts, we feel very fortunate to own this house in one of the most beautiful and peaceful areas of the country.
Why they chose this property
Keene Valley is a very special place with an amazing small town community. It didn't take us long to decide that we wanted to build a house and settle here, where we imagine spending time with our grand children one day. What we love about our home is the breathtaking views and privacy.
What makes this property unique
Our log house is built in classic Adirondack style with cedar post railings, a large fieldstone fireplace, large country kitchen, and views from every window in the house.
