Great stay
Stayed for a family ski and Super Bowl weekend tradition. We have done VT in the past but decided to switch things up this year. What a great call. This house was amazing. The hosts are very responsive and everything was exactly as advertised/expected. We would definitely highly recommend Grand Meadows Lodge and look forward to returning!

Family hiking weekend
There was 20 people in our group and we had plenty of room for everyone. The house was in a great location and was very clean with everything we needed for the weekend (such as multiple washers/dryers, stocked kitchen, lots of hot water, etc.). I would absolutely recommend renting with Gene, he was great to work with!

Amazing Property
The home was perfect for our ski trip to Whiteface for our group of 4 families. It was large, clean, well-maintained, warm, and located close to the mountain and Lake Placid. The owner Gene was very communicative and responsive. Would definitely stay at this property again and have no hesitations in recommending the property to others.

Fantastic Family Birthday Celebration
We very much enjoyed our stay at Grand Meadows Lodge for a large family gathering. So much space inside and out, we never felt too crowded but still had plenty of spots to gather and have fun. Location is wonderful for accessing hikes and Lake Placid. The kitchen was very well equipped and we had everything we needed to cook large family meals. There are lots of activities for the children too in the game room. All around we had a lovely stay and would highly recommend this property!

Beautiful cozy cabin near the mountain
20 of us spent a weekend at this cabin and it was everything we could’ve wanted! There were plenty of things to do at the cabin, boardgames, Xbox, hot tub, etc. the kitchen was great to cook in and there was plenty of space for everyone. Whiteface was a short drive away as well as Lake placid. Our host was very accommodating and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Highly recommend!!

This was hands down the best rental experience I’ve had. From booking 1 year out, the communication from Gene leading into our stay as well as checking in throughout to make sure everything was perfect, the gorgeous house with attention to every detail, hot tub, sauna, heated floors the list goes on. I visit the Lake Placid area often and will definitely be back to one of Genes properties! Without reservation I highly recommend this property!

Bisons Hockey Trip
Grand Meadows is a beautiful cabin located no more than 25 minutes from all of the sites Lake Placid has to offer. We stayed here for a hockey tournament at the Olympic Center. Gene and Gala are wonderful hosts, check in was simple, the rentals are loaded with amenities, the scenery is beautiful! The kids loved the playrooms and the hot tubs! They checked in with us regularly to make sure our stay was going well. I can not recommend staying here enough. We will be back! Thank you from the Buffalo Bisons!!

Awesome place for a big group!
The Grand Meadows Lodge is a beautiful property with every amenity you could ask for. The house is very spacious and clean with a ton of bedrooms and comfortable beds. The kitchen is very well stocked, which made cooking for a big group a breeze. It was great to have a gas bbq for grilling, a firepit for hanging out, and the hot tub + sauna were icing on the cake. This property is in a great location; about 25 minutes from Lake Placid and 20 minutes from many hiking trail heads. If you're looking for restaurants close by I recommend the Ice Jamm Inn and Forty Six. Will definitely visit again!

Family destination wedding
The house is beautiful and exceeded our expectations. Our group included my husband and me, three of our adult children and spouse and 3 year old grandson. There was plenty of room to spread out and do our own thing if all that family bonding time became a bit much. We loved huge fully stocked kitchen, hot tub and fire pit. I loved that master suite had its own screened in porch! Fantastic!

Bachelorette Getaway
We had such a wonderful experience booking this property with Gene. There were 14 of us who arrived for a bachelorette excursion and we couldn’t have asked for a better house. It was conveniently located to downtown Lake Placid for dinner and breweries, and we were able to spend a whole day on Mirror Lake. Gene was easy to get a hold of and prompt in his communication. Everything we needed was laid out in detail ahead of time. I would absolutely go back for another visit and highly recommend this property for other groups looking for a great getaway house in the Lake Placid vicinity.
