My family of four and I enjoyed a lovely weekend at Esther Mountain Chalet! Judi was very accommodating when we had to modify our reservation and very communicative providing excellent information before, during and after our stay, the home was very comfortable and clean. The kitchen extremely well-equipped. We loved the back deck, yard and incredible view. Thanks again, Judi, for a memorable stay!

We had a lovely time at Esther Mountain Chalet, which is everything it promises! Such a fabulous home base to explore the High Peaks region, then home each evening for sunset fires, taking in the mountain views and relaxing in the hot tub under the stars. The beds are comfortable, the living room is a super comfortable lounging area with a gas fireplace, and the host is great about communication and recommendations. Hard to ask for anything more! We stayed for 3 nights during our honeymoon and it was absolute magic.

Beautiful views!!

The place had everything we needed for a family weekend get together. It was too cold for the hot tub and sauna but the views were absolutely beautiful! Watching the sun come up on Whiteface and the moon setting were so awesome!. Great to be away from thw busy village too. Loved it!

Perfect Whiteface Ski Trip House

This property is ideal for a ski trip! Situated on beautiful land with a stunning view of Whiteface. Only minutes to the mountain and not far to Lake Placid town center either. Rustic feel but has everything you need. My group of 5 adults worked out very well space-wise. Hot tub was awesome to come home to after a day on the slopes. Loved the privacy — really felt like we stayed in the Adirondacks. Will definitely keep this property in mind for future trips!

A comfortable stay with a view of whiteface

We had a fantastic stay at Judi and Aseem’s place in Wilmington! The listing description was spot on, and the experience exceeded expectations. The hot tub and wood-fired sauna were perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring, and the entire place was impeccably clean and well-maintained. The hosts were incredibly responsive and made sure everything was just right for our stay. The location is excellent—only 5 minutes from Wilmington and a short 15-minute drive to Lake Placid. Whether you’re looking to explore the area or simply relax, this place is perfect. I highly recommend staying here and would definitely return in the future!

Amazing location and property

We had such an incredible weekend up at this cabin for the full solar eclipse!🌒 Wow. The views out the back of the house are breathtaking and we really enjoyed sitting in the chairs by the fire pit and soaking in the hot tub. Judi was super easy to communicate with and the house was very clean. We'd definitely come back anytime, and hope to soon! Thank you for the lovely and relaxing visit!

Beautiful view, quiet, and relaxing stay

We loved our stay at Esther chalet. The view of whiteface cannot be beat. The yard was huge, great for playing with our dogs. We used the hottub, picnic table, and deck everyday, and even got to see the aurora borealis in the yard. We didn't get the chance to have a fire or use the sauna but I'm sure that would have been lovely. The house was very clean, and spacious. We did struggle to get a good night's rest due to the soft/sinky beds in the 2 king size rooms. We feel the addition of a pair of binoculars to the home would be a nice to view the local wildlife. Judi called around check in and a few hours after check out which was an appreciated personal touch.

Great Location!

You can’t beat the views and location! Very close to the ski entrance to Whiteface mountain, High Falls Gorge and 15 minutes to the village of Lake Placid. The Wild at Tupper Lake was an hour away. Great spot for the kids. The chalet is so peaceful. We loved looking at the stars from the hot tub or fire pit. Gas fireplace was a nice cozy touch. Smart TV’s in all bedrooms. No cable. Internet worked great. Sand was provided for the walkway which we definitely needed with the ice! Judi checked in with us via phone once we arrived to make sure everything was good. She also called after checkout just to say thank you. Love the personal touch! Great place and business to book an Adirondack getaway! Tough to beat. Thank you Judi!

Everything about this place was awesome! Really clean! Easy check in and out. Awesome property to enjoy with your family and dog. So close to awesome hikes! Loved to have what we needed to cook the meals we wanted (bowls, utensils, pots, pans). Beautiful inside and outside area. I would stay again!

Love this place!

My second stay at Esther Mountain Chalet was as lovely as my first. Secluded but not too remote, modern with a cabin vibe, clean and well kept, ownership is friendly and communicative but leaves you to do your thing, and that view of Whiteface! I’d be excited to return for a third trip.
