Yes, you are welcome to host a dinner, have a campfire, and enjoy visitors; however please use discretion with extra overnight guests. In addition, please be honest with the number of guests you have at the home. We do not charge extra for six guests compared to two, but it terms of housekeeping, there is a significant difference in time it takes to clean the home. Knowing the correct number of guests is extremely helpful!

Graystone Cottage is a lovely place to stay, very clean and well decorated with plenty of space. Outside space is great and topped off with an awesome hot tub.
This house is a favorite of ours - fireplace, hot tub, well stocked kitchen, close to Whiteface, and EXCELLENT HOSTS! We enjoyed a snowy holiday weekend on the slopes and cozied in the house after. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay!
We enjoyed our second stay at Graystone Cottage. The cottage meets all our needs. We especially enjoyed the hot tub this trip. The hosts are very friendly and responsive.
We stayed here for a ski weekend/ son’s ski race at whiteface. It was perfect. Good communication, clean, comfortable, hot tub, close to the mountain. We will definitely be booking this house again.
This was a great house for our family to stay in to ski at whiteface and enjoy Lake Placid. Beautiful house with a great kitchen and deck. Communication was amazing.
This house was perfect for our needs. The location is great for hiking high peaks and then having the hot tub to come back to was a huge plus! The house was very clean and well maintained. We would definitely stay here again!
This is the second time we have stayed at this house. It is a cozy place for a get away for my wife and I. The tub was a bonus for relation after a day of hiking. I highly recommend staying here. We hope to return next year.
We were impressed with the overall cleanliness of the property. It was like walking into a page from House Beautiful. Super relaxing and quiet. A much needed break from the day to day.
Although the weather was not ideal. This location was everything we could have asked for. Hoping to do it again next year for a week. Great house, great amenities!!
My husband and I stayed at Gray Stone Cottage with our dog for a ski getaway. The house is only 2 miles from Whiteface Mountain. It was so convenient! There are a couple of local markets and restaurants but most of the shopping and restaurants are 10 miles away in Lake Placid. The house was very clean and supplied us with all of the essentials. The owners were very communicative and even plowed the driveway when we had a bit of snow. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.
We had a wonderful stay at Graystone. Clean and well taken care of house. Our second visit here because we knew we wouldnt be disappointed. Graystone is in walking distance to Wilmington. We had the pleasure of a snowstorm happening while we were there. We enjoyed the hot tub while it was snowing. Magical!!! Had a relaxing time doing puzzles, games and being with family. Highly recommend Graystone.
To get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, we booked this cottage in the beautiful Adirondacks and everything was relaxed and uncomplicated from the start. The hosts sent all the information in good time and, after a long drive, we immediately felt welcome in the warm little house, which was perfectly prepared for our stay. The bathrooms and kitchen are comfortable, super clean and modern and it really has everything you need. The hot tub was heated when we arrived and we were able to relax straight away. The area is beautiful and there is so much to do. The people are incredibly friendly. We would love to come back!
The house is wonderful. Location is great. Close to Whiteface (ski). House very clean and well-kept. Our daughter loved relaxing in the hotub after a long day of skiing. we even managed to make a small bonfire and roast marshmallows for the kids. Cassandra explained everything about the house very clearly. Thank you very much for this. We will definitely visit this place again when it gets a little warmer.
We (two adults, one 9 year old and one dog), loved our stay at this house. The house is very clean, comfortable, and well-stocked. We loved having the hot tub, the gas fireplace was great (and very convenient not having to deal with firewood ). Our daughter loved the loft, it’s a perfect place for kids to sleep. The house is well located to ski at Whiteface (5 minute drive), and to explore Lake Placid. The hosts are very attentive and communicative (eg. we drove in during a snowstorm and Jeremy plowed the driveway repeatedly to ensure we were able to come and go as needed). We would definitely stay here again. We stay in a lot of VRBO properties on our travels, and this one was one of the best.
The property was as pictured except it is close to other houses which was not a problem. Very clean. Beds very comfortable. Good location for what we were doing while visiting Lake Placid. We would stay here again. My only suggestion would be a motion light out by the driveway. It’s quite dark when coming back to the property late. We did leave the side porch light on one night we were late coming back and that worked fine. We only needed to speak with owners once and they were helpful. Great property.
The home was perfect for our purpose, which was to have family together on Thanksgiving. The home comfortably accommodated six people (two were children) and an old Labrador Retriever. It had all the expected amenities and more. I word I used several times to describe this home was, "lovely." It was home away from home. Loved it!
Nicely decorated house with plenty of room. Exceptionally well stocked toiletries, kitchen, linens and towels. Hot tub was very nice. New appliances. A private setting yet close to local attractions. Simple check in/check out process. Would book again!
The living room could use a bigger seating arrangement, but the house was charming, the hot tub was super clean and the location couldn’t have been better.
wonderful week hiking the adirondacks!! house was clean and comfortable. absolutely nothing to complain about. great back yard and hot tub for hanging out. house was close to many hikes and a close drive to Lake Placid.
