    We had a wonderful stay at the McKinley House. The location was perfect, walking distance to everything. The house was very clean and better equipped than any other house we have rented. I would definitely stay here again!

    Stayed with a friend to do some cross country skiing and hiking. The home was clean and comfortable. Location was very conveniently located to the town center. The host was extremely accommodating and went above and beyond. We asked about the grill (Which was put away for the winter) and the host not only came over to make it available for us, but then took another trip to replace the propane tank when it was missing a gasket.

    We enjoyed the back patio and the beautiful views of the mountains and the fall foliage! The beds were very comfortable and everything was clean and well stocked! The welcome treats were also much appreciated! Also, the location couldn’t be beat with walking access to Main Street with all the shopping and restaurants. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

    We enjoying staying at this property very much. With just a short walk, you can get to Main Street, the Olympic Center, many bars and restaurants, and the Mirror Lake public beach area. We spent many moments sitting under the beautiful gazebo on the deck and on the screened-in porch. The house had everything we needed and we found the soft blankets very enjoyable and appreciated the beach chairs and beach towels. Sonja was extremely helpful and responsive!!

    First visit to Lake Placid. The McKinley House was the perfect home base! Great location to town, beach, Olympic center, hiking, fishing, restaurants……the list goes on! Lovely comfortable house with a large yard and a relaxing deck with beautiful flowering pots. The attention to all the little details was so nice.

    We’ve been to the town a few times and know the area well and this house was fantastic. The location to the skating oval was amazing and an easy walk to town. Really enjoyed our time, house is as listed and is great. We hope to return when we go back in the future.

    This is a wonderful place to stay and is as advertised. We have rented many places, but none have two King size beds and smart TV in every room. Convenient to the center of town but if you are relaxing at home there is a very calming view of the mountains with the outside space and deck area. The kitchen is fully stocked, and the neighborhood is extremely quiet. Walkable to Mirror Lake or to take a ride on the shuttle. This is a place we will return to and were pleasantly surprised.

    My family (2 adults, 2 early 20's) stayed at Sonja's mid August 2024 and thoroughly enjoyed our time. The house is charming, extremely comfortable and very well equipped (especially the kitchen) with everything you need in a quiet neighborhood. We made use of the firepit, grill, deck and enclosed porch which made a great place for morning coffee. Communication with Sonja was very timely. The location make walking to the Olympic center and downtown Lake Placid very convenient. Overall we loved our stay and would definitely recommend the house for anyone. Thanks Sonja.

    We were in town for a family wedding and were lucky enough to find this charming rental (and at a fraction of the cost of the hotels that had been recommended). The home had every amenity you could possibly want. It was clean and stylish with comfortable beds. We absolutely loved the outdoor fire pit and pergola/pavilion on the deck. Sonja was a very attentive host and kept the lines of communication open. We highly recommend this lovely property!

    My family and I had a wonderful experience staying at Sonja's house. The house was clean, comfortable and well maintained. The mattress that we stayed on felt new and comfortable (not too firm, not too soft) and the kitchen had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable/functional stay. We appreciated Sonja's little welcome package, and instructions on the house. Check-in / check-out were seamless. The bath towels were plush, water pressure was perfect. Honestly felt like I was staying in a home away from home and that was what we needed during our Ironman weekend. Thank you Sonja for the hospitable stay. We hope to visit again! - Maria

    Well maintained in the center of everything. Very nice amenities and small touches that really made the difference. LOVED the outdoor spaces. If not for some rainy weather one of the days, would have probably spent all out time outdoors.
