Lookout Mountain Chalet

In December my family and I were visiting Santa's Workshop at North Pole for a little pre-christmas cheer. We went online looking for a home away from home large enough for my cadre and found the "Lookout Mountain Chalet". Well, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! What a wonderful surprise present for my family this house was beautiful and the view of Whiteface Mountain was unbelievable! We had a great time and will be reserving "Lookout Mountain Chalet" next year for a return trip!

Where do I even begin? My family and I had "booked" this vacation home originally for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately after sending money via Western Union and not hearing back from the "owner" I got concerned. It turned out that we were scammed and had sent the money to someone other than the owner Todd. Needless to say, Homeaway did not make good on the money and it was lost. If it wasn't for the owner, Todd we would have been out the money and without a vacation. Todd not only took time out to hel[p me contact homeaway but out of the goodness of his heart, invited us to stay at the house. The Thanksgiving dates were booked so he let us pick whatever dates were available. Well, we just returned from our vacation stay at lookout mountain chalet and couldn't even begin to tell you what a wonderful stay it was. The house was incredibly clean and beautiful. The wall of windows provided the most incredible view every morning. The rooms were huge, kitchen was so well equipped that you could cater a meal from soup to nuts for a large party, bathrooms were well done and the hot tub and sauna were the perfect relaxation at the end of our long days. The house was so conveniently located to all of the winter activities. All in all our stay was an incredible one. Todd is a truly wonderful man who not only did this wonderful thing for us but kept in contact with us the whole vacation to ensure that we were enjoying ourselves. What an incredible man, we will always be so grateful to him. Hands down, this was a house we would come back to not only for the incredible house itself but because the owners of this house are just the best people you could ask for. It is so rare these days to find people with such great hearts. Can't wait to go back!

Our stay was great. The amenities in the house were amazing. Our only minor complaints were the seal on the Sauna door was not great so the sauna didn't get as hot as we hoped, and the timer on the sauna was not the best (we're big sauna folks). Even with those minor complaints we'll definitely be heading back for our next visit to Whiteface.

Stunning. From the second we walked in, until the moment we left. This was a family vacation with 4 kids, and the house was the right size. Beds were super comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we could imagine to keep the troops fed and happy for the week. Easy driving distance for skiing, and a comfortable distance into Lake Placid. Between the owners and the local rental agent, we received great care and hospitality. We hope to return soon!!

We had a great time staying at Lookout Mountain Chalet. The chalet is so cozy and well decorated, with very high ceilings and a beautiful view of the mountains. We were able to really enjoy ourselves and relax. The best parts are the jacuzzi on the terrace and the camp fire. We really had a great weekend there and we will be back. The owners are so nice and helpful, they really make you feel at home.

Todd and Kim are great hosts. The Century 21 folks are wonderful as well. The house is amazing! The amenities are fabulous and the location is extremely convenient to Lake Placid and Whiteface Mountain. We actually did not stay at Lookout Mountain; we stayed at the Olympic Dream Chalet. We would definitely return again.

Perfect house with awesome amenities in a perfect location. From the minute we walked in the door we realized this vacation home was far nicer than the photos and descriptions conveyed. We were here over Thanksgiving 2013 with another couple planning for good food, wine and relaxation. The gourmet kitchen, sauna, hot tub and super-comfortable beds made our vacation plans a reality. The view from the living room kitchen and deck was unsurpassed. No question we will be back.

Thank you so much for an amazing trip!!! Your house was perfect, top to bottom! The view is amazing especially from the hot tub. All of the amenitities were above and beyond what we could have imagined. Close enough to Lake Placid but far enough away from it all. Perfect :) We hope to return for the years to come.

Thank you so much for letting us stay at Lookout Mountain Chalet - we all had a fantastic time. We were a group of 10 adults who unanimously agreed that the house was wonderful. We took full advantage of the hot tub (awesome after a full day of skiing) and the large kitchen (that everyone was envious of). Steve - it was great to catch up with you at the Wildlife Refuge. Unfortunately we were pushed for time or we would have loved to stay and listen to more of your wonderful stories. We will definitely recommend your place to our friends and I have a strong feeling that you will hear from us again in the future :)

My wife and I brought our 3 children up to Whiteface for a week of skiing and to enjoy all there is to offer in the area before Christmas. When we arrived at the cabin the first thing we noticed was the breathtaking view. When we went inside the house everything was immaculate with such attention to detail. The house has the best of everything from appliances to beds to the cabin itself. Within 1 hour of our arrival the owner Todd called to make sure everything was just as we expected. He gave us his cell phone number and explained if we needed anything he would take care of it. The only time I had to call was to see if the cabin was available for an extra 3 days to extend our stay. He not only booked us for 3 extra days he didn't charge us. My wife and I have stayed at cabins in the adirondacks for the past 7 years and never have we found such a nice place that is also right next to everything. I highly recommend this cabin to anyone visiting the area of Lake Placid and Whiteface.
