About this property

Birdsong -spacious & welcoming- your High Peaks getaway

About Birdsong

Birdsong is a welcoming Adirondack home designed for real living — a place where people gather, linger, and celebrate. Set just off the main road, it’s private, peaceful, and easy to find, with a layout well suited to both relaxing weekends and active days outdoors.

The main living space is spacious and comfortable, with ample seating, an internet-ready TV, high-speed internet, a dedicated workspace, and a cozy gas fireplace. Games and books for all ages make it easy to settle in, whether you’re here to explore or unwind. Outside, gather around the fire pit in classic Adirondack chairs or play corn hole on the lawn.

The space

The expansive mudroom is perfect for stowing outdoor gear (please remove shoes before entering the main living area).

The kitchen is exceptionally well appointed and stocked by a true foodie. Designed for cooks who actually like to cook, it includes quality cookware, baking essentials, and full sets of plates, glassware, and cutlery to comfortably serve a crowd Wondering if we have a particular kitchen tool? Just ask! Past guests have hosted both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners at Birdsong, and cooking here feels like a pleasure — not a chore.

With 3½ bathrooms, mornings are easy and unhurried.

Up the main staircase are three bedrooms:

Bedroom 1: King bed

Bedroom 2: Twin/full bunk bed

Bedroom 3: Queen bed plus twin

This level also includes two full bathrooms and conveniently located laundry facilities.



Accessed by a separate staircase, bedroom four features a queen bed and ensuite full bathroom — ideal for added privacy.

With high-speed internet and a dedicated workspace, Birdsong is well suited for remote work. A generator ensures that even an unexpected storm won’t interfere with important work obligations.

Guest access

Guests have access to the entire home and yard with fire pit. Parking is available for up to 5 cars.

Other things to note



While we share a driveway with our neighbors, there is ample parking at Birdsong. Please pull fully onto our property, as there is plenty of room for up to 5 cars. During winter months, snow tires, AWD, or 4WD are helpful, as the driveway is somewhat steep.

This is not a party house. We have nearby full-time neighbors and ask all guests to be respectful and treat the home as their own. Quiet hours are 11pm–7am.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome with prior approval. The yard is unfenced, and with a nearby road and frequent wildlife, pets must be kept on a leash at all times. A $50 per pet fee applies at booking.

Forgot something essential or craving Upstate NY’s best ice cream? Stewart’s is just across the street (.4 miles). Valley Grocery is 8 minutes away and well stocked. For dining out, explore Keene, Elizabethtown, or nearby Lake Placid. See our list of favorites for local recommendations.

Notes:

There is a video doorbell that records and monitors the front yard.

Air conditioning units are located in each of the four bedrooms.

Our stay at Birdsong was perfect. The home was spacious and clean. Julie was an amazing host and communication was easy. We went for a wedding that was in Elizabethtown and also spent an afternoon in Lake Placid. Birdsong was convenient for both locations. We would definitely stay again!

Great stay

Birdsong is relaxing and spacious. It was easy to unwind there for sure, especially after a day of hiking or sight seeing. Julie was a great host; very attentive to detail and responsive to questions and needs. We felt taken care of. Would definitely book again without hesitation.

Weekend in Keene

This experience was great. My family was in town for Ironman Lake Placid, and this quiet property was the perfect fit. Julie was very helpful and accessible throughout the whole process! A special highlight for us was the kitchen. It’s stocked much better than any other property we’ve visited. Highly recommend!

Birdsong was Music to Our Ears!

Birdsong was the perfect place to have a reunion. Plenty of space, had everything we needed, good layout for a large group with plenty of bathrooms. Convenient to everything we wanted to do, but also private enough to relax and unwind. After a long day, it was so warm and comfortable to come back to. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

DAKS I’ve climbing

Perfect location for a winter ice climbing trip with climbing friends. Ideal launch point for top rope as well as many multi-pitch climbs. Would also be an excellent location for fishing the AuSable river in the warmer weather.

Both house and hosting exceptional

We were a group of 5 elder men enjoying daily snowshoe treks in the nearby wilderness areas. The spaciousness of Birdsong, along with its numerous bedrooms, baths, and communal sitting area made for a very comfortable stay. This lodge is very clean with a large kitchen exceptionally well-stocked with appliances and cook gear. We cooked all of our meals there with ease. Lisa, our host, responded quickly and kindly to all of our questions The house rules were minimal and clearly articulated. An ideal place for a group our size accommodating our needs for both privacy and communal engagement!

Family Christmas 2023

Julie was awesome to work with, very responsive to any questions, etc There was plenty of room for sleeping our group of 8. The kitchen is stocked with everything you might need for meals and prep. Seating in the family room space is challenging for a big group but we managed to make it work. The house is conveniently located to the outdoor winter activities that Lake Placid has to offer. Our group went ice skating, dog sledding, bobsledding and of course skiing on whiteface. It was a wonderful trip and we enjoyed our stay at Birdsong very much.

The Perfect Getaway

To start, Julie (the owner of this gorgeous home) was so accommodating, great with communication and opened her home with a warm welcome. The house exceeded our expectations- photos don't do it justice! The open layout made it great to socialize while cooking meals, the separate room off the kitchen was great for my husband and I to have privacy, and the hammock in the front yard was used by all! My family will stay in this house again, that's a guarantee! The weather was amazing, the house is just down the street from a gas station and only a 20 minute drive into Lake Placid- it made our vacation/Iron Man stay absolutely perfect!!!
