Summary: Rex and Cay were amazing hosts! They greeted us with a s’mores kit and showed us around. We spent a whole week and can’t wait to go back! Basketball court and campfire were great! Rex even gave my son a few tips on his basketball shot. The property was very peaceful. The house was very clean and comfortable too! Don’t miss out on this hidden gem!

Summary: What a lovely, clean, filled with everything you need, home! The inside of the home is architecturally beautiful. The fireplace is breathtaking. Everything is spotless and comfortable. You feel like you are in a home that has been loved.The beds and linens are wonderful and perfect for a good night sleep tucked away in nature. The kitchen has everything and more that you might need. The screened in porch is inviting and so relaxing. Rex and Cay are more than accommodating and communicate quickly and clearly. I am so glad that we chose this home for out “home away from home”,

Summary: This was the 2nd time we stayed here. Since our 1st stay only 3 things have changed1- Elevator is no longer available 2-You can no longer park in the garage 3- Entrance is now around backI was planning on backing into the garage and using the elevator to make it easier to bring in my groceries and luggage. So at 1st I was a bit disappointed. However that quickly changed when the owners took it upon themselves and brought everything into the house for me. This was greatly appreciated since I have limited use of my right arm due to a torn rotator cuff (Which they were unaware of). The house is clean, well taken care of and has absolutely EVERYTHING you need. The yard was perfect for our Easter Egg hunt. We will definitely be back.

Summary: Parson Place is a very nice, warm, beautifully decorated house that is about 10 drive from Whiteface Mountain. It's very well equipped with pretty much anything you could need outside perishable food. The bedrooms are super comfortable, bathrooms are updated with big shower stalls, the living room with the large screen TV was amazing. Highly recommend.

Summary: This was the second time we stayed at Parson Place and the home is beautiful, clean and spacious, providing all the amenities we needed. We used the kitchen and dining room for many family meals and there was no shortage of pots, pans, dinnerware, glasses and utensils. The home was in close proximity to everywhere we wanted to go in The Adirondacks, including Whiteface and Lake Placid. The hosts were right next door and were always available if we needed anything. Absolutely no complaints at all!
