We’ve stayed here twice and we all absolutely love the house. The proximity to Keene and so many trailheads make this a great place to stay when hiking in ADK.
Lovely warm cabin sitting on mountain overlooking Giant Mtn and Keene Valley. Very quiet and peaceful. As an fyi, 4 wheel drive was necessary during our visit. Highly recommend and would visit again.

So glad you enjoyed your stay! We love the winters up here!
All-wheel drive vehicles are better for the winter in the Adirondacks in general- Subarus, Toyotas and similar cars manage well in those mountains.
Hope you can vacation here again!
The views from this property are amazing! Beautiful scenery from every angle. The home accommodated our group of 7 comfortably. The owners and property manager were easy to communicate with and attentive. We really enjoyed our stay!

Teresa was very easy to work with. There was a big snow storm and she and her guests were very understanding and willing to work with us to get them dug out.
We would definitely rent to Teresa again.
Everything about our stay was perfect. Ray and Laura are great hosts and everything about their property is picturesque. I would absolutely recommend Giant's View Lodge to anyone visiting the area. The view of the mountain alone is worth it!
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!

Glad you had a nice trip! The Adk mountains are definitely one of the better places to be during a heat wave!
Cooling off in Chapel Pond, Hulls Falls, and a Johns Brook are some of our favorite things to do when it’s hot there. The local hardware store even sells big inner tubes for floating down the Ausable river, a scenic and refreshing adventure!
Looking forward to hosting you again!
What a wonderful location to experience the April 2024 solar eclipse.
The house was perfect. We had 10 adults and 2 little dogs and lots of room. Great communication with the owners. Kitchen was well stocked. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

We stayed in Giants View with our friends and our children! The house was exactly as listed and reviewed! The view was outstanding and the surrounding area offered so many hikes and activities for us and our kids! We had an amazing time and hope to return to the Nardelli’s house again!

Thanks James- glad you had a fun trip! What a beautiful time of year to visit- Keene Valley is an outdoor playground to be sure!
We’d love to host you again!
What a beautiful house and location! So close to the trails for hiking or you can just sit on the deck and take in the views. The house was well equipped, very clean, very well cared for and we also really appreciated the clarity of instructions for use of the house. Great hosts!
Great views of giant, and create access to the high peaks
We had a very good time at giant view Lodge. Our hosts were very accommodating. The house was spacious. There were six of us. The kitchen was excellent. We cooked all our meals. Access to the high peaks was perfect. And our dogs had a very good time.
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!
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
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.
