This townhouse is beautiful and comfortable. We’ve stayed at a lot of places, and Colleen and Mark thought of things that other hosts didn’t, like Tupperware for leftovers! Colleen was very communicative and a pleasure to deal with. We’d definitely stay here again.

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.

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.

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.

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. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need, plus it had many extras!! We will definitely stay again!!!

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!

We loved our stay at this centrally located townhouse. Everything was decorated beautifully and the place was sparkling clean. It had everything you could think of for a long weekend away. 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!

Super Clean and Spacious!

Our family came in for a lacrosse tournament. We have been coming for many years trying to find the perfect place and this one is by far the best!! We had never stayed at a townhouse before because we like our privacy and also don’t want to worry about noise from other groups. However we were delightfully surprised! It was a very quiet townhouse community away from the busyness of town with woods and lots of grassy areas as well. Even though it wasn’t walkable to Main Street with Grandma (80), it was just minutes away by car and very close to the athletic fields. The unit had everything you would need, especially for cooking. We are foodies that like to cook and the cookware was top of the line. We were very impressed. Our college aged kids loved the separate family room in the finished basement along with their own bedroom and full bath. Colleen was easy to communicate with and check in was easy. Instructions regarding the unit were all easy to follow. We would definitely love to stay again!
