    The host met us and showed us around the house and how to work the heaters in the rooms. The space was great for the amount of people we had.

    The Claus Family Lodge was a perfect place for our family's Christmas. Kids were excited to find 3 decorated Christmas trees! There were 16 of us and this house was built for large gatherings with plenty of room to spread out without being on top of each other. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare Christmas Eve dinner for 18, including enough seating around the table for all of us to enjoy the meal. House was clean, beds were very comfortable, and two of the bathrooms were newly remodeled. Ann was checked us into the house and was responded quickly to questions or concerns during our stay. Everyone enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after a day of skiing and sledding. The house is close enough to walk into the village if wanting to visit the shops or find a place to eat. As an extra bonus, Mother Nature provided the snow for a beautiful, white Christmas! We would definitely stay here again!

    House was very much as advertised. There was ample wonderful shared space for our group to spend time together. We especially enjoyed the hot tub. The gas fireplaces made the common rooms feel very cozy. The heating around the house did feel a little sporadic with its many zones and handful of thermostats. That said, that could easily have been an “us” issue, and not the fault of the house. The owner did go over the heating, therefore I may have missed a crucial detail.

    This place is amazing! So spacious and clean. It was everything and more to us. We had 13 people and we never felt crowded at all. We used every inch of this house and the amenities were fantastic. Close walk to the town 8-10 minutes and it was centrally located to the town. Ann is the realtor and she was it extremely knowledgeable about things to do while you stay and we definitely enjoyed the ice skating rink!

    My whole family (16 people age 3-70) stayed at the Claus House for 5 nights. It was very comfortable with 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. The house and grounds were spacious. The little kids used the playground once, we used the fire pit once, kids played volleyball a few times, adults used the hot tub a few times, mostly it was a home base for other excursions in the Adirondacks. Overall, a great vacation!
