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!

Family Ski Week at Lake Placid

Gene and his property were absolutely perfect in so many ways. Location to Whiteface and downtown Lake Placid. Beautiful, clean, comfortable home -- one of the very best we've stayed at thru vacation rentals. Amenities like hot tub, video games, streaming on well sized TVs, firewood upon arrival to get a firing going . . . even a bottle of wine! Comfortable beds, pillows and linens had this picky family sleeping soundly and comfortably. Kitchen well stocked and appointed with all we needed. So wonderful and a perfect winter family getaway. Will definitely be looking to come back . . .summer and/or winter!! Thank you again!

Amazing experience!!

The Grand Meadows Lodge is a beautiful cabin that comfortably fit 15 adults. We had a group of friends and family for a Whiteface / lake placid weekend. The host Gene was amazing, responsive, and we knew if we needed anything we had a local contact as well. Our group loved the sauna, hot tub, and ping pong table. The cabin is extremely homey and comfortable, equipped with games, surround sound speakers, and comfy beds. The cabin was about 10 minutes from the nearest grocery store Tops and about 20 to Lake Placid. Our group had no complaints and everyone wanted to come back and check out Genes other properties as well. I will most definitely be booking this lodge or another of Gene’s properties for my next Lake Placid trip.

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!!

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!

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!

Wonderful Christmas Stay!

Let me begin by saying our family is not new to renting. For years we have rented on Cape Cod as well as Maine, NH and now New York. I can say without a doubt this home is number one. And not just because of the gorgeous property but because of the whole process. I booked this a year ahead of our stay. Gene has been one of a kind to deal with - I often times felt guilty fielding him with my questions being that it was the first time we have been in area. He responded immediately each time & always friendly and cheerful. He even gave us minute to minute weather updates before we headed on our 4.5 hour drive to the house! To me that is half the battle: the owner has a lot to do with the comfort of your stay and Gene is the best! The house is perfect! When we arrived during the night the entrance was such a welcome sight with a lighted driveway sign which gave a resort feel. My kids (teenagers) ooh'd and awed the whole time from the car to the front door. We were able to drive right into the 3 car garage and unload out of the cold. When we walked in we were greeted with a beautiful 8' xmas tree with white lights on -which was an amazing surprise!! The whole feel of the property is luxury. The little extras just made us feel like royalty: towel warmers, heated bathroom floor, cozy bedding, 3 sets of washer, dryers, endless amounts of towels, big screen TV and blue tooth speakers on first floor which we used constantly playing Christmas music while we played games and baked Christmas cookies. We didn't venue out much because the house was so lovely and my husband just wanted to stay in his Christmas PJ's and relax (which with running a business he doesn't get to do often). We used the hot tub and sauna daily and with temps into the single digits outside and snow on the ground it was a blast to hop from one to the other. The kids and I did venture out one day to near by Lake Placid. It was a quick 20 min drive & the scenery beautiful. The town was adorable with easy parking and twinkly lighted main street: Very festive and charming. Every little shop we went into we were greeted with the most friendly people! We got to see husky's learning how to pull sleighs on Mirror Lake from a quaint coffee shop window. Perfect. This may sound like a cheesy Hallmark movie review but it was honestly one of the best holidays our family has had thus far!! Time to book for next year! Thank you, Gene!!!
