The place was more than clean - immaculate! The kitchen was very well supplied - everything you could need and then some. Location was great - very quiet and close to great hiking trails and Lake Placid Main street for restaurants and shopping. We only had three people, so had plenty of room to stretch out. Highly recommend.

This home is was one of the best experiences we’ve had yet. Everything you need to be comfortable is provided. The kitchen is well stocked and very functional. The living room with the fireplace and floor to ceiling windows was the perfect place for everyone to sit, relax, and socialize. The quality snd decor really set this home above any others we have stayed in. It was immaculate in terms of cleanliness. The owners were very helpful and super accessible before, during, and after our stay. I can’t say enough good about this house! Highly recommend.

It was a very spacious home and we never felt cramped. Super clean, quiet and cozy! Access in and out of the home was easy and super convenient.

My teens enjoyed the finished lower level and we all had plenty of room to relax after skiing. Easy check in and check out. We’ve rented several places in Lake Placid and this one was top notch!

My husband and I stayed with two other couples to celebrate some birthdays. Colleen and Mark were excellent hosts and were very responsive to any questions we had prior to our stay. The house is absolutely beautiful, cozy and immaculate and has everything you would possibly need- towels, dish detergent, hairdryers, and plenty of bakeware and cookware to use. We are all foodies and really appreciated that as we were able to make an amazing breakfast on Saturday morning.Our favorite part of the day was coming back to the house after a long day of strolling through Lake Placid, having a few cocktails, playing games while enjoying the wonderful fireplace. We will definitely come back to this beautiful home and hopefully stay an additional day so we can squeeze in some skiing too.

Highly Recommend Rustic Retreat!

I can't recommend Rustic Retreat enough for a stay in Lake Placid. Comfortable, cozy and very clean. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the necessities. There was more than enough room for our party of six to spread out and relax and we all loved hanging out in the main floor living room with the wonderful fireplace. Colleen was great to deal with and her welcome package is very informative. Located just outside of downtown Lake Placid, it is very convenient to all of the Olympic venues as well as getting to the surrounding towns in the area. Definitely a great place to stay!
