The property owner and management cannot be held responsible for any injuries, accidents, or damages that may occur while enjoying these spaces. We recommend bringing your own firewood so you can fully enjoy the outdoor fire pit during your stay. Firewood can also typically be purchased at nearby gas stations or from local vendors along the road. This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $37 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional. To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots. Due to the time needed to adequately clean the unit, we are not able to offer early check-in or late check-out. Please book an extra night if you would like to guarantee an early check- in or a late check- out. If an unauthorized event occurs, a $500 fee will be charged. No parties or events are allowed, per Airbnb policy. DISCOUNTS We run last-minute bookings, midweek specials and long-stay discounts. If you have any questions, just message us anytime! Happy to help!

We had a wonderful stay at Fernanda and Rachael’s AirBnB. We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids). The apartment was as described and as pictured. It was clean and very well equipped, including kitchen with handy water filter. Also bathroom was very clean and well equipped with lots of towels and amenities. The apartment was warm and cozy with radiant heat. The trundle bed was very advantageous for the kids. Communication with both hosts was fantastic. They were very responsive and very proactive. Thank you for the lovely stay and for hosting us!

This apartment was in a great location for the activities we had planned (whiteface mountain and Santa’s workshop). The house also included all kitchenware we needed and was a great fit for our family of four. They even supplied a crib for our youngest. We recommend this apartment!

The perfect spot for a holiday. Multiple restaurants, a chocolate shop, and a great deli all in walking distance. Nice little park across the street to watch water flow over the damn or fish from. Not a long drive to lake placid if you want more restaurant choices and some hustle and bustle. Plenty of hikes within just a few mins drive. Whiteface mountain is just up the road. The condo itself was very comfortable and had everything we needed during our time. Would recommend and would stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at Fernanda and Rachel's place. The apartment is beautifully furnished, reflecting the hosts' deep care and passion for every detail. You can truly feel the love they've poured into this space, making the stay feel exceptionally welcoming and thoughtful. Stepping out of the little cozy PLACE, we are embraced by natural beauty from the river and surrounded by mountains. We look forward to our stay at this place in the near future.
