Chalet holiday rentals in Essex County

very nice secluded house and good customer service from Christopher

This place is wonderful! The minute we walked in the door we felt right at home. We stayed during February and took advantage of the snowy conditions in the area. After playing outdoors, we were able to come "home" and get warm and cozy. Joanne has done a beautiful job decorating. It has everything you need for cooking if you prefer that to eating out. It's also close to all the fun activities. We loved it and are hoping to stay again this summer.

Joe’s Cabin was a perfect space for our family! Long driveway was perfect for sledding with our 3 year old, we felt like we were in the middle of nowhere yet so close to the main street in lake placid. Skiing was great and not a far drive from whiteface either. Amazing views out of the living room windows of the mountains in the distance. Snowed every day we were there and there was a snowplow that always made his way down the road and driveway. Joe was a great host and very accommodating. Loved being able to bring our dog with us as well!

Very cute and charming house! Everything was clean and as described. The area is very convenient and it’s easy to get to many different hikes.

We really enjoyed our stay. Great location allowing us to be within walking distance of town, but far enough away for privacy and quiet. The house itself is perfect for entertaining and socializing, but also allows for people to spread out and have their own space. Having access to the garage is a huge perk for keeping ski/outdoor gear out of the way.

As last time, we enjoyed our stay there :)

This was our second time staying with Julie. Julie communicates well and the place is cozy and clean. We love the location in Keene and access to Lake Placid and Whiteface! We hope to stay with Julie again!

This chalet is beautiful, peaceful, comfortable, and clean! My family and I had a great time here. There was a lot to do and it was close enough to Lake Placid. Dana was quick to respond to any questions I had and very helpful. Would stay here again.

We had an absolutely magical time at Mary Jane's! From the spacious hot tub with comfy robes, the fire pit, well stocked game closet and a whole game room downstairs with pool/ping pong/darts/PacMan, while being surrounded by the beautiful Adirondacks for great hikes and adventures, we were never at a lost of what to do! The layout, amenities and location of the chalet were perfect for two families to unplug and be present with each other. The rooms were super cozy and the bunk bed rooms were the highlight for the kids. The separate cabin in the back also was a huge hit! Mary Jane was the best host, very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed to make this a comfortable stay. We can't wait to come back in the winter months for skiing!

Doe-A-Deer was absolutely beautiful, we had a group of 11 that visited for our yearly ski trip for an extended weekend. The house was peaceful, clean, and modern. Only 20 minutes from whiteface mountain. Nice amenities and we loved the fireplace! Would love to stay here again, thanks again!

Beautiful and peaceful place. Lots of room to hang out, inside and outside. It was nice that the kitchen was stocked with plenty of glasses, mugs, dishes, utensils, and things for cooking, as well as some other basics like spices and coffee filters. Tina and Greg were very responsive. Everyone loved it!

Brian’s home was even better than the photos. A big and lovely screened-in porch; a well-appointed kitchen; a luxuriously large living room and dining area. Brian is a responsive host- he answers questions very quickly. A perfect spot for a family gathering.

My husband, our 6-month-old baby, our dog, and I stayed at Chris’s Airbnb for the weekend, and it was the perfect remote getaway to unplug and relax. One of the highlights was the fully enclosed yard—our dog loved being able to run freely and safely enjoy the space. The home is about 25 minutes from Lake Placid and the downtown area, which made it easy to explore when we wanted, while still offering the peaceful seclusion we were looking for. Surrounded by nature, it was the ideal escape from the hustle and bustle. Chris and his co-host were incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with—they answered our questions promptly and made the whole experience seamless. The property also felt very safe, which gave us extra peace of mind during our stay. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet, nature-filled retreat with all the comforts of home.

Michael’s place was perfect for our group of 8. The common space was comfortable and well-furnished. The cold temps did not allow us to enjoy the porch but in the warm weather it must be sublime! We made full use of the well-appointed kitchen. The little butler’s pantry was a great place to store non-perishable items so the kitchen counters remained clear. Each room had either an en suite bathroom or one right next door. Everyone loved the water pressure. We felt like we were away from it all but very accessible to town. Everyone in our group enjoyed their stay.

Had a fantastic time at the Jay house! Was so surprised that the skiing was only 15 minutes from the place, it made it super convenient. There were a lot of great restaurants nearby, and the guidebook left by Nicole was really helpful in finding great places! We also accidentally left an elephant at the house with sentimental value, and Nicole offered to ship it out to us! Above and beyond anything I could have expected, highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful lake house, although we didn’t experience much of the lake because we were there for a ski trip to Gore and we got over a foot of snow. We did spend a lot of time in the house. It’s really great — comfortable, clean, modern, well-decorated and -designed, just a terrific vacation home. Location wise, it’s an easy 20-minute ride down a main highway to get to Gore, so no problem there. It’s two minutes to get to a Stewart’s and a couple of restaurants, delis, pubs, pizza. Not a huge selection of choices but enough for a long weekend. Lisa was an excellent host, available throughout our stay for little questions we had. We would love to stay again in the summer to see what it’s like when it’s not covered in snow. The lake is absolutely beautiful. 100% recommend. You’ll have a great time.

I absolutely loved my stay in Jay, NY! The location was perfect—nestled in the woods, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. It had a charming rustic feel that made it feel like a true getaway. Everything about the stay was so easy and seamless, from check-in to communication. A wonderful escape—I’d definitely stay here again!

our family not only loveed the house as it has been our favorite so far, but we loved how private it was and still close to so many things! Teresa answered any and all questions almost immediately and followed up with individualized tips and recommendations! When I inquired about sleds, she set out what she had so we has instant access and then sent me local sledding and ice skating information. We had a magical Christmas trip thanks to Teresa and her home! Thank you!

Had a great stay, things we loved doing were fishing the lake, camp fires down by the water and just hanging out. Ausable Chasm was an amazing trip during our stay. I would also highly recommend hiking Rattlesnake Mountain, it’s a short approximately 15 minute ride from Petr’s place.
