Adirondack Splendor

Our stay at Giant’s View cabin was a one of adventure and tranquility! The cabin itself was very warm and inviting. The views of the mountains were spectacular! Our favorite part outside of hiking and fishing was rocking in the comfy chairs in the screened in porch. The weather was hot while we were there but we stayed cool by utilizing the provided fans. We even got to see a family of deer crossing in front of the cabin. We would highly recommend this cabin to anyone who wants to get away from it all in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains!

Beautiful place to recharge

My family and I traveled to Lake Placid to support our son as he raced at Junior Nationals and this home was such a great spot to come back and relax each day. Everyone slept well, we had plenty of space for meals and the host was great communicating with us about our power loss after the storm. Looking forward to returning in the future!

Fabulous Vacation and Wonderful Property

We so enjoyed our family visit to Giant's View. The house was lovely with gorgeous views from the property. We were very comfortable with all needed amenities for cooking meals at the house and remaining cozy during a chilly winter period. Ray and Laura were very responsive to any questions that we had about our stay (thank you!). We really hope to come back in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Laura & Ray Nardelli

Host profile image
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.
