Great property with facilities provided as advertised at time of booking.
As a family of adults who regularly travel together it is sometimes difficult to meet all the needs and requests of each family member, overall this property met all our wants, with sufficient space for all of us to be together and separate as desired.
The host communicated well with us prior to arrival and there were clear instructions on accessing the property and how to obtain local help in an emergency. There were a couple of minor repairs needed that were not an emergency and did not affect our holiday and we have advised the host of these and are sure they will be taken care of before the next guests arrive.
Once we had worked out the heating system it remained warm for the duration of our stay, a real blessing due to the very unpredictable weather we encountered. We renamed the house icicle cottage not due to the cold but due to the beautiful icicles that had formed on the tree outside the kitchen window. We had to dig our way to the car one morning, this was made simple by the snow shovel in the outside storage area. We were a little concerned that it would by icy when we returned that evening, we needn’t have worried on our return the path had been totally cleared and gritted.
The house was clean on arrival with clean bedding and plenty of clean towels. The kitchen was well equipped for making simple meals. The fridge caused much amusement as a knocking noise could be heard every time you opened and closed the door a fun holiday memory to be sure.
The property was well within walking distance of the main Street and Mirror Lake for the younger generations with the free local bus stopping a short walk away, but the car was needed for the oldest generation of the family.
This property contributed to our amazing experience in Lake Placid and should we visit again we would not hesitate to re-book this property.
