About the property

Escape to The Overlook! Step onto the deck and let the Adirondack air hit you — Hurricane Mountain's fire tower right in front of you, Giant and Dix peaks just in the background, and the valley rolling out below. The deck chairs are waiting. By evening the fire pit is crackling, stars are out over the High Peaks, and the only decision is whether to pour another drink or roast another marshmallow. This is the Adirondacks the way they're supposed to feel — private, wild, and completely yours.

Beautiful home in a beautiful setting

This house has everything you could need with fabulous views. We went with friends to introduce our kids to one of our favorite spots and everyone had a wonderful experience in this spacious and comfortable house. The kitchen is really well equipped. The best part was the hosts! Kathy and Kirk were very easy to work with and were extremely accommodating of some of our changes, which we really appreciated. They also gave us suggestions of things to see and do. We would stay here again.

Nicest AirBnb

One of the nicest Airbnb’s in which we have had the pleasure of staying. Kirk and Kathy are welcoming, and they have prepared a booklet that is full of useful information and recommendations. Their home is super clean, comfortably and tastefully furnished and in a lovely private setting. It was a pleasure cooking meals in the well equipped kitchen. Our stay here was everything we could have wanted. Stayed with a pet.

Perfect, Quiet, & Spacious

We stayed at Kirk and Kathy's home and our family of 4 had a wonderful experience. The location was perfect, quiet, spacious and peaceful. It feels like home away from home. The home was clean. The kitchen was fully stocked. I highly recommend this place. Thanks again for letting us stay.

Just Perfect for our party of 7

This house was perfect for our party of 7. Spacious and comfortable for all. Very secluded and quiet area. A short drive to Lake Placid Olympic museum and arenas. We also stopped at the ski jump area and watched the young jumpers practice. Highly recommend! Check out Emma’s Lake Placid Creamery. Excellent!

Perfect for our family

Kirk and Kathy's house was perfect for our family - close to the slopes for my husband and children, 4 minutes to my favorite shop and close to the center of Lake Placid for shopping and dining. And if you just want to stay at the house - the home is peaceful, relaxing and the views are priceless! They were very welcoming, accommodating and responsive.
