Great house in the middle of Lake Placid.

Best Lake Placid VRBO

We decided to go away for Christmas this year and stayed at this lovely home! I was hesitant to be away for Christmas day, but found John’s home to be the perfect “home away from home” for our family! Great location, immaculate unit, and it had everything from a stocked kitchen to cozy bedrooms to make our stay perfect! My family will always remember this as one of our favorite Christmas experiences. We had fun iceskating, cross country skiing and downhill at Whiteface. We can’t wait to return!!!

Beautiful House - Good Location

We had an excellent experience at this house! The house was well-maintained, providing a clean and comfortable place throughout our stay. The location was perfect with just a short distance (about 5 min) from town, making it easy to explore local restaurants and shops. The communication with the host was smooth and prompt. They were very responsive and made sure all our needs were met. We appreciated the thoughtful touches in the home that made it feel welcoming and cozy. Overall, we highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a convenient, comfortable, and hassle-free stay. We would definitely return!

Perfect Vacation Home

My friends and I frequent Lake Placid several times a year and this is the first rental that truly felt like a home away from home. It is exactly like the photos; warm, bright and inviting. John is communicable, knowledgeable about the area and was very accommodating. All around, our stay was wonderful. This is going to be our 1st pick for future stays in LP.

Great stay

Came here for Christmas week with a toddler and grandparents/family. All was as described and the house was very well stocked. Lots of great lighting, nicely decorated. Very close walk to Main Street that involves a hill but we enjoyed it! John was frequently communicating with us. Had a nice stay.

Clean and relaxing stay

This vacation home had all the comforts of home. The host was very generous in keeping supplies stocked for guests to use upon arrival. I also have to compliment the cleaning crew, John has found a very thorough crew! I felt more comfortable in this home than I have during previous VRBO stays. We enjoyed all of the local restaurants within walking distance, but the kitchen is fully stocked with any pot, pan, or utensil you could need. The house was perfect for our group of 6 with room for more.

Perfect house and location!

We visit Lake Placid every winter and were so happy to see that John and Heather’s home was available on our dates this year as we stayed there 2 years ago and just loved it! The house is exactly as described and is in a perfect location; easy walk into town for shopping and restaurants. The house has everything you need and the kids loved the tv/playroom on the ground floor. It’s clean, and the beds are super comfy. John is super responsive and kept checking in to make sure we were good and answered all our questions right away. We will definitely be back!!!

About the host

Hosted by John Rudick

Host profile image
Saratoga, NY natives and Mountain lovers found ourselves in love with Lake Placid. After too many trips we realized it was time to buy our first Getaway in 2004 to share our home and experiences in Lake Placid with renters looking for a similar Getaway. After over 100 renters and 100 percent 5 star reviews we have found that our guests have just as much excitement for the town as us and enjoy exploring, learning about the area from insiders and appreciate the little things that make for a great trip.

Why they chose this property

Our other property was perfect! This property is amazing and grand. Not too big, just open and relaxing. This home offers so much room for entertaining. The extra garage spaces and large room off the garage is very accommodating for all the gear and service we do on our skis, bikes, etc.

What makes this property unique

Privacy while still in town. We are 5 minutes walking distance to ANYTHING in Lake Placid, but our large lot, trees and no street lights provide supreme peace when sleeping.
