There was towels and furniture covers still in the washer and dryer not finished. The coffee maker was not cleaned. What I would consider essential amenities weren’t there like potato masher spatula ……finally found a spatula way back in some cupboard.Place was nice. Location was excellent. The charge for the dogs was exorbitant; 50 bucks a day for two dogs to not be there, but they love dogs.

The house was clean and comfortable. Peaceful and quiet location. The large dining table was a great place to gather for dinner and games. A great place to get away from it all. The owners were very responsive to any questions or concerns. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Winter holiday

We spent 4 days at the Goslings Nest in February. It was an annual family get away for skiing and other winter fun. The house was a 30 minute drive to beautiful Lake Placid and a 15 minute drive to Whiteface. The Goslings Nest is cozy and we loved the wood stove. We had everything we needed to make the vacation comfortable and enjoyable.

Great place for families and doggies! Close to Whiteface Mountain.

This lovely chalet was close to Whiteface mountain for our ski/snowboard trip. The hosts were very accomodating in every way. We were allowed to pay an extra fee and bring our well-behaved doggies which made our trip extra special. Great large dining room table was fun for playing Mexican train dominoes. The mattresses were very comfortable. Would probably be a great place to stay in the summer!

Hiking group enjoyed our stay

My women’s hiking group (13 of us) stayed at the Goslings nest for one night. We hiked Jay Mountain and BigCrow/Little Crow. The place worked out great. We had fun playing a game around the big dining room table. There was plenty of hot water for all of us. The beds were comfortable. And Linda’s communication was exceptional, answering all of my questions in a very timely manner. We would definitely stay here again.

Girls weekend

My daughter and her 3 girls (plus 1 friend) had an awesome time. As a lover of the Adirondacks, I really appreciated the quietness this chalet provided us. The house was just as advertised and the owners got back to us with any questions we may have had in a prompt manner. In addition, the bunk room allowed the teens their own private space other than their bedrooms!

Enjoyed our stay

Very quiet place to spend the night , with a rustic feel. The grill had mold growing in it and required the grates to be scrubbed before using. The front balcony seemed to be a roosting place for birds and several dead bugs in the sliding doorway to it and the chair would have needed a good washing to sit on. We had plenty of room for our family and were able to eat in and get to our planned destination the next day.The owners were very responsive and e offered us an extended stay. Unfortunately we were on a schedule.

Peaceful

There were two reasons we chose this house: location in proximity to the Olympic venues and the dog friendly nature of the house. We were not disappointed in either. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly, the location to the Olympic sites is perfect, the owners created a safe space for a dog to be left and the house was big enough to feel roomy even with 6 of us staying. The owners were very attentive and responsive with any question we had, whether is was a question about the house or the area and local attractions. The deck was our favorite place to hang out and was a perfect place for morning coffee. We had a wonderful stay and would not hesitate to return.

Wonderful

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Gosling's Nest and will be back. The home and property were perfectly kept and exactly as described. Linda was quickly responsive to any questions that we had. The house is completely dog friendly and our pup loved being out on the deck. A provided baby gate kept her safe and secure. Although a dog friendly home, there was absolutely no "doggie" smell and that was awesome. We really appreciated that the owners use green products and the fact that the information for a local soup kitchen was provided so we could drop off any left-over food at the end of our visit. As mentioned in the post, there is a spiral staircase so that is something to be aware of if traveling with small children or people with limited mobility. The house has the benefit of being completely private and in a community and provides the best of both worlds. You simultaneously have a peaceful escape without view of other homes and the benefit of wonderful roads for dog walking and running close to home. Lake Placid, Whiteface, and Keene were all super easy drives. Walking, shopping, hiking, kayaking and biking were right outside the door.

Erin, Wow! What can I say?? I am so grateful for your raving review! I am especially pleased that the house does not have any 'dog odor' even though we are super dog-friendly. I also appreciate that you recognize our efforts to 'clean green' by not using toxic products that are harmful to young children, all humans and dogs. Thank YOU for reading about the donation center for any food you might have at the end of your stay. We invite you to return to The Goslings' Nest Adirondack chalet; you were a pleasure. Thanks again, Linda

Turn Back Now

From the get-go, we were burning time enjoying ourselves in town until we received the check-in notice from VRBO. So we drove over and then the stingy owners wanted additional money to get in--after we received the notice that the home was ready for us--and we watched the cleaners leaving as we pulled up. We reluctantly paid. There was a tripping hazard near the front door so one family member set it against the house out of caution for the kids. Apparently it was set against some video camera for which the property owners like to watch you with?? Pretty creepy. As we were hiking the high peaks, we were notified that there was a camera blocked--which we had no idea what they were talking about. So while we were hiking, the owners came and went thru the house and through all our stuff. There was plenty of fire wood provided, which seemed nice, so we had a small fire in the yard. Apparently that's not allowed. For the 17 years I have been enjoying the Adirondacks, everyone always has fires outside--it the Adirondacks. Now the owners are trying (not going to happen) to NOT refund our huge damage deposit. There was no remnants of a fire after we cleaned up, and their tripping hazard was put back, so not reason to keep a damage deposit. There was no damage. Their check in rule book is insane, and they want shoes off and no eating on the couch--in which they actually make reference to humans being animals in their book. What kind of vacation is that?! Very uncomfortable place. But by all means, if you like zero privacy, being monitored on camera, and being run by jail house rules--this IS your place! We went to another wonderful place from here which we just had the BEST experience ever. First time ever having a bad experience on VRBO! Good luck, and happy(ier) vacationing!!

We are grateful that we have had so many happy guests that appreciate & respect the house & forested property. It is unfortunate that this guest felt uncomfortable with the guidelines for a safe & relaxing stay. We were later informed that not only is this a 'hiking & beer' group, but they had a 8'+ flag with their club name flying outside the house. Thank you in advance for reading this lengthy but necessary reply to his unsubstantiated complaints. Please feel free to take a look at our listing & the many, MANY exemplary reviews from happy guests. In the house description, when potential guests are 'shopping' for a place to stay, the Ring doorbell (facing outside) is disclosed AND check-in time of 4:00 p.m. is specified. The guest did not inform us that he'd like to arrive nor check in FOUR HOURS EARLY. We did not send any message on the VRBO platform (nor otherwise) that the house was ready & he was permitted access before 4 p.m. He waited in the driveway while our cleaning team departed & INFORMED ME that he would be checking in (HOURS early). This was unacceptable, however we accommodated the guest by sending an early check-in option for $50 (for about 3 hours early at this point). When the guest reads, agrees to & makes the first deposit, the Ring doorbell (exterior of house, not interior) is again, noted. Most guests appreciate the Ring doorbell as a means of almost immediate communication in case of any questions, concerns or just kids that want to know what it is. The guest blocked the Ring doorbell from midnight until 3 p.m. We continued & conTINued to receive alerts from the Ring, so THEN checked to see WHY, only to find it blocked, which in our house description and rules is not permitted & reason to not return all or part of the security deposit. We contacted the guest on the VRBO platform, & after not receiving any response or acknowledgement for 45+ minutes, asked our property manager to make sure everything was in order. The property manager unblocked the Ring. The property manager did not go in the house AT ALL. When the property manager arrived, he found that the guests (evidently a 'Hike for Beer' club--not kids) had made a fire outside on the edge of the driveway near cars on this heavily forested property, and there is no firepit for that reason! We were advised to call the police, but chose not to. The property manager heard people inside, however the guests did not answer when he knocked. Thank you again for reading.

Absolutely wonderful. Our group of four would return without any hesitation. The cabin was clean, cozy, and well organized. The area is absolutely beautiful. We saw many deer walking around without much concern that we were around them. That pretty much describes how peaceful it is here. Thanks again for sharing this hidden gem in the woods with us.

Cozy chalet with attentive host

We recently stayed with our dog and had a wonderful time at the chalet. It sits in a quiet neighborhood that’s just a little over 15 minutes from Whiteface Mtn. The chalet was stocked with the essentials and had really comfy beds. The host checked in regularly to make sure we were doing ok - appreciated that. We look forward to staying here again.

OK stay--positives and negatives

We stayed for a few days after Labor day and left short of our booking time, as this just wasn't the place for us. (I did tell the host it was for a work issue as I didn't want to hurt feelings and hadn't processed a fair report on our experience.) First, Linda could not have been better at communication and responsiveness. The interior of the house was very clean. The exterior could use some attention. The patio could have used a hose-down, cleaning the debris and food stuff on chairs left by previous occupants. Small balcony off the bedroom had huge spider webs on back of the stacked chairs, making for an unsightly first impression. As far as the experience, aesthetically it was mixed. The bedrooms were lovely, simple and uncluttered. Bathrooms super clean and updated and very nice. The main open seating area however, which should be the most inviting, was not that for us. This could be easily addressed by bringing a visitor's critical eye. The drapes were the main culprit (in bedrooms too, as only drawback there.) Unsightly, heavy, and clashing. Simple sheer curtains would brighten the interior, as the house is surrounded by trees, so light isn't a concern. The furnishings are very big sectionals, which overwhelm the room. However, it makes sense for large gatherings of people, I get it. The floor-to-ceiling fireplace is indeed beautiful, but it is cluttered with make-shift bookshelves on either side with a hodgepodge of old mainly children's books and "stuff." Those bookshelves could be moved to the downstairs bunkbed room, leaving the fireplace to be the true focal point. (Also, no need for the huge objects on top of the mantle, further cluttering the room.) Kitchen was clean and updated, but throw out the stuff in the pantry cabinets most likely left by former guests. Much looks old and not so useful. Simplify the offerings--coffee and filters, Oil and vinegar, a few seasonings. The town is a food desert. (There was one place we wanted to try, the Hungry Trout, but it was closed during our stay.) It's a good location for varied day trips, but we spent all of our time in the Lake Placid area for the great hiking and where there were real restaurants if you don't feel like cooking or eating in a noisy bar. We feel the house rate was overpriced for what and where it is and we didn't get our value. That said, I think it could be made a lot nicer with a little bit of effort and a more critical eye toward a visitor's first impression.
