Quiet Mountains
Nice stay. House was reasonably clean. The property was peaceful and the night sky was amazing. We were disappointed with the outside areas. Grass had not been mowed for a long time and the porches needes cleaned terribly. Not enjoyably to sit outside when the property was not taken care of.

Lovely property
We had a great visit at the Jay mountain retreat. We had most of our dinners at the house because the backyard setting was so beautiful. Hope to stay again in the future.

Beautiful home and property
This was a perfect getaway for our family! The property was beautiful and we enjoyed sitting on the porch, watching the sunset and stargazing. The home is very comfortable and inviting, and it's on a peaceful street with easy access to hikes and Lake Placid. We would love to return!
