About this property

A secluded getaway with an incredible view - 30 minutes from Lake Placid

30 minutes from Lake Placid, this unique mountain-view space features a comfortable, secluded 3-room guest suite opening out to a private covered terrace showcasing unmatched views of the Adirondack Peaks.

A pet-friendly space ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, a couple's getaway, those working from home, or those just looking to have a peaceful retreat in the mountains - come enjoy our 25 acres of fields, forests, ponds and private riverbank.

Also available: https://www.vrbo.com/1877405?dateless=true

The guest suite is located off of the main house, accessible through a private, separate entrance. It features a bedroom, bathroom, and a living room with an adjoining kitchenette. All areas are private and not shared with the main house.

The bathroom includes a large soaking tub with complimentary toiletries and bath products. While there is currently no shower available, many guests have found the bath time to be a relaxing part of their stay.

The living room includes our wood burning fireplace, 32" flat screen Roku TV/DVD player, a small dining area for two, and an adjoining kitchenette. Wood and fire-starter is provided, with more available for purchase if needed. The living room also features our additional sofa bed, a smaller twin measuring 72" x 34" x 5" (see photos).

The kitchenette is equipped with a sink, mini-fridge with freezer compartment, 2 burner stove top, microwave, and a large countertop toaster oven, along with pots, pans, and other basic kitchenware. Additionally, the bedroom has a fully-stocked coffee and tea station.

Out on the terrace you'll find an additional dining table, a grill for use in the warmer months as well as a year-round smokeless fire pit for outdoor fires. The fire pit can also be used for cooking, with an adjustable cast-iron skillet that can sit over the fire.

Bringing pets:
We happily welcome a pet - we ask that any pet be declared at the time of booking as we do charge a pet fee of $15/night. Dogs must be leashed when near the house and crated if left alone in the space for any length of time. Unfortunately, service animals cannot be left alone in the space, regardless if crated.

Guest Access
Guests are welcome to take advantage of our self-check in process - which includes a photo slideshow of how to access the space and thorough written instructions.

We are also available anytime in person or over the phone to help guests who are having trouble finding our place or who may need assistance.

Other notes:
> For those arriving between November and March - a vehicle with AWD/4x4 or snow tires is required in order to get up the driveway in the winter weather.
> There is no air-conditioning, however the space remains about 10-15 degrees cooler during the summer months due to it's location.
> Laundry is available at the main house once per week for those staying 7 nights or longer.
> Guests are not permitted to receive mail or packages at this address, regardless of length of stay.

Beautiful view

Lovely property; lots of room for dogs to run if you want them off leash. House had minimal but adequate kitchen and bath accommodations. No shower which I wish I'd known beforehand. Soaking tub was delightful but not easy to wash hair. Kyle was onsight to help as needed. The view is unparalleled!

Gem in the Adirondacks

We had a wonderful stay in Elizabethtown! The amenities were fantastic! We loved the deck and the view of the mountains! All the information regarding the property was very helpful and easy to understand. We especially appreciated the information regarding the local restaurants, shopping, and things to do in the area. The place was very quaint and cozy especially when the weather turned cooler. We made great use of the fireplace! Wi-Fi worked great! We are planning on coming back next fall!

Extraordinary VRBO Experience!

LOCATION … LOCATION … LOCATION!!! That’s what we look for in a VRBO and Kyle’s place nails it! It’s hard to imagine anything better in a VRBO than sitting on that deck taking in that glorious view! Now the space has some limitations … no AC … no shower … limited kitchen facilities … uncomfortable fold out bed … but that all was ok with us. We look for location above all else and this place delivers in spades! Kyle’s place has a lot of class … it’s tucked in the woods and feels remote and peaceful … it’s located on the edge of the high peaks … just 30 minutes east of Lake Placid … and Kyle was an exceptional on-location host. Staying there was an extraordinary VRBO experience and we are grateful!

Bliss

I had an extended stay that was a combination of a solo work retreat mixed with family weekend adventures. The property is ridiculously gorgeous, the hosts were so warm and welcoming, communication was great, and it’s in the middle of way too many options for getting out and enjoying the Adirondacks. I miss seeing those mountains every morning and can’t wait to return!
