Gooseberry Lodge is one of most well-kept, traveler-and-pet-friendly homes I've stayed in. So many amenities and "huh, they thought of that!" touches. Headlamp hanging on the front door coat rack. A boot dryer. Dog food/water bowls sitting out. A high-strung dog run cable in the yard. Make-up towels in the bathrooms. Balsam fir sachets throughout the house (man, the smell ). Books and board games galore. Kindling for the woodstove. Probably the best-stocked kitchen I've seen in a rental home. The only outright "problem" during our stay (September 2026) was a non-functioning vent hood in the kitchen. At least for us, the buttons wouldn't stay "clicked" so the light/fan stayed on.And operationally, things were a bit confusing: there were multiple sets of "house rules" between emails and the paper binder in the home; one email said to pickup the key from Lake Placid, another email said go straight to the home and self-checkin. But altogether, these were *very* minor points compared against the thoughtful and relaxing experience available with Gooseberry Lodge - we'd love to stay again!

Great house close to whiteface mountain and about 30 mins from lake placid. House is great for families with three sets of bunk beds, theater room, and games. We enjoyed the hot tub after our days of winter fun activities. Would def stay again.

Ski weekend

This rental had absolutely everything we could want; comfortable seating, large dining room table, myriad activities for teens (Foosball, air hockey, etc.), plenty of sleeping accommodations, and an incredibly well stocked kitchen, to name a few. This was probably the best place we have ever rented.

Seclusion

Awesome cabin. Au Sable Acres is very relaxed and secluded. The lodge was very clean and well-supplied and the game room and movie theater in basement are a great bonus. FYI, the wood staircase up to the 2nd level is beautiful, but could be hazardous for little kids (large openings / and slightly rounded top surface). Would definitely come back to this cabin again. It's one of the nicest cabins in the Adirondacks for its size and price range.

Absolutely gorgeous cabin

What can I say but this cabin is absolutely gorgeous. As it is described and shown in the pictures is what you get and more. Property was very clean and tidy with lots of room to spread out and hang out! We had rain most of our stay but the fire stove and hot tub were great amenities. Beds were super comfortable too. The owner was very responsive to my emails.Can’t wait to book our next trip here at the gooseberry. Thanks you.

Eclipse Weekend

The property is excellent for a large group. We spent four nights. The kitchen was well equipped — although the knives could have been sharper. Grocery stores are some distance — so it is good we planned ahead and brought groceries. My son and his cousins used the home theater in the basement. We didn’t use the wood stove — but there was plenty of split wood. There is also an outdoor fire pit with chairs.

Christmas getaway

This home is well appointed and very clean. It has everything you need. When we booked the property it said a hot tub was available. However when we got our confirmation we were told the hot tub had been drained and not in use. So we were disappointed but oh well, everything else was wonderful and we made many Christmas memories. We will definitely come back.
