Great stay tucked away in the ADK

Really enjoyed our time at this beautiful property. Plenty of space for the entire group. No WiFi and almost no cell reception (very very spotty for us Verizon users, occasionally we would get a bar or two but it was rare) so beware if that’s important to you.

We are thrilled that you enjoyed your time at our beautiful home in the Adirondacks. Fall is a wonderful time of year in the North Country indeed. You are correct that there is no WiFi and the cell reception is poor. Our listing and contract clearly indicate this and we also remind our guests of this when we accept a reservation. Though most of our guests have appreciated the opportunity to escape and get away, we intend to add Starlink internet before the end of the year so that future guests can have a choice whether to stay connected via the internet or completely disconnect. Thank you again for choosing our home for your weekend in the High Peaks!

Beautiful property

We very much enjoyed our stay in Keene NY and this lovely property. It is actually nicer than the photos, and the property was beautiful as well. Couldn't have been happier with the vacation. We had lots of room for the family, and were able to disconnect from the wired world.

Adirondack Getaway

Our family of 7 spent a very comfortable week at this property while hiking the surrounding mountains. The view was beautiful as nature surrounded us from all sides. Inside there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and find their own "nook". Everything we needed was provided, and there were clear instructions on where to find everything. It was a great time!

Beautiful views and perfect location

This house was wonderful for our two families. We enjoyed the lean as well as the secluded location of the home. The home provided everything we needed. We would love to go back and stay again to knock out some more high peaks.

We are thrilled that you enjoyed our home and that you hope to visit again. Indeed we seek to make sure it offers all that our guests need and we are glad to hear from you that it exceeded your expectations. The lean-to in the woods is a nice short walk from the house, it is a great place to enjoy nature, and we are glad you enjoyed it.

Beautiful house in the mountains

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house tucked away in the mountains. This house is well-stocked (towels, dishes, pantry, grill, etc.) and clean. Located 15-20 minutes from Lake Placid gives you accessibility to tons of hiking! We were a little worried about no A/C, but the evenings cooled down nicely. The view from the deck is beautiful and deer are prevalent. This is a great place to relax, enjoy the mountains, and unplug!

Exceeded expectations!

This home was perfectly located for hiking the High Peaks and Saranac 6...or hanging out in Lake Placid. But don't miss the great restaurant in Keene called Forty Six (roasted brussel sprouts, beet salad and perfectly cooked salmon...yummo!). The caretaker is friendly and knowledgable. Scott the owner is responsive and accommodating. The property / views are breathtaking. The home is well stocked, very clean and extremely comfortable. There is a large window seat in the great room, perfect for reading or reflecting. The lean to was a fun extra outdoor space for sitting by the firepit and roasting marshmellows. We all hated to leave. One of the nicest family vacations we have ever enjoyed. No wifi was a bonus and forced us to socialize with family...not on media! We will be back!

Wonderful stay in a beautiful house

If you're interested in the High Peaks area this property is very conveniently located. The house and surroundings are so beautiful it's hard to leave. The kitchen had everything you need for a great family dinner. No wifi, or phone access, but we got to enjoy the views that much more. Will definitely return.

Great Place!

Everything about the house is great! Scott was very accommodating to get us right in last minute and the house is beautiful inside! It has great views of Whiteface. It just needs a hot hub and I'll be back this winter!
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Apr 2020
We are so glad you were able to enjoy the house during your visit to the Adirondacks. As you know, there is a hot tub in the master bathroom, but your idea of adding an outdoor hot tub on the deck with views of Whiteface is a good one. We are continually seeking ideas to add amenities for our guests to enjoy, so thank you for your suggestion! We indeed hope you will visit again this winter or again next summer!

Wonderful Property

Great home with spectacular views and superior finishes. We had up to nine folks in the house and everyone was very comfortable. The only negative is cell/data service with only Verizon working for either cell or data. You will need a rugged vehicle in the snow since the home is up in the mountains on a very challenging final approach.

Fifth year staying here.

This is our fifth year staying here. Beautiful house! Overlooks a secluded mountain valley, surrounded by mountains. The deck is a great joy just to sit and have coffee in the morning. Peaceful...only natural sounds. Only house visible is a beautiful farm in the valley below. Enough space in the house so that you don't get in each other's way. Only drawback is lack of wifi, if that is a concern for you! Certainly plenty to do in the house and in the surrounding area!

Paul, Thank you for returning to enjoy the house once again! We are thankful for friends and guests who return year after year and we find that, like you, they appreciate the seclusion and solitude surrounded by the beautiful High Peaks. It indeed is a wonderful house in a gorgeous setting and we look forward to sharing it with others, as well as enjoying more time there ourselves! Regards, Scott

Lovely Adirondack getaway

Red Oak Lodge is a beautiful home -- very comfortable and inviting. The kitchen is well-appointed and clean; the bedrooms are spacious; and the living room (our favorite space) is fabulous, with its vaulted ceiling, leather furniture, and spectacular view of Whiteface Mountain. Keene is a nice little town and is a perfect starting point for hiking the high peaks or cross-country skiing. If you want to be in the heart of the Adirondacks but removed from the crowds in Lake Placid, this is the ideal spot.

The pictures do not do this property justice.

Much appreciated Scott accommodating our party of 8 on short notice. Enjoyed our stay. Magnificent Adirondack house and property with great views. Still has that new home smell. Kids enjoyed the wild blackberries and raspberry's. Experienced the newly built lean to, deck and fire pit with its own great views. This is a great place to decompress or be as active as you want. Restaurants, shops and grocery store at the foot of the hill in Keene. Lake Placid is a short drive along the river. Recommend the nearby popular cascade hiking trail for long range 360 views. Would highly recommend this Adirondack house only wish we could have stayed longer.

A happy return!

This was our second stay at this fantastic house! We enjoy the comfort it affords and the secluded "away from it all" location, minutes away from skiing at Whiteface. Our kids love to come to this house as they have a big playroom to themselves downstairs and we enjoy a little adult reprieve by the fire upstairs. The layout of the house is really conducive to relaxation for the whole family and time together. Highly recommend.

Great Private Home

My now wife and I rented the hillside home and actually hosted our small wedding here. It was a perfect autumn day and had the ceremony on the great deck overlooking then mountains with our closest family who all had their own private master suites. Nothing was overlooked for hosting from the kitchen to the laundry to the bbq grill. We then enjoyed the house to ourselves for our honeymoon, relaxing, quiet, and beautiful with the peak of fall foliage. We look forward to returning to Keene and the Adirondacks soon as we are avid hikers and love the area.
