Perfect home for our group of 10! The family room, kitchen, and dining area, plus the deck provided us with space to be all together. The lower level, hot tub, firepit and lovely bedrooms allowed for a little separation. The home was extremely clean, and the kitchen was very well stocked for us to cook big dinners 4 nights, and plenty of fun breakfasts together. Our 2 grandchildren loved all the toys, and we all enjoyed the closet full of games! The highchair and kids' dinnerware were very much appreciated. The location was perfect. We felt like we were in the woods, but a quick walk down the hill and we were in the wonderful town and lake area. We enjoyed the beach, the shops, restaurants, coffee and ice cream all within 5-10 minutes. The walk back up the hill was great exercise! The host was so kind and quick to respond to any questions before and during our visit. We couldn't have picked a better place to have our bi-annual family trip. We loved exploring the Adirondak's and Lake Placid area with the hiking and other nature excursions. We did the gondola ride up Little Whiteface, High Falls Gorge, Olympic Center, and highly recommend the Wild Center. Family hikes around Mirror Lake and Brewsters Peninsula were great and some of our group hiked much more challenging trails close by. One of the fun memories from this trip will be the flying squirrels, something we had never heard of, and experienced a couple of times while sitting on the deck at dusk!
