A unique and spacious custom-built home, added in 1994 to the original 1800's home overlooking the Jay Range in charming Upper Jay, NY. The original home was built by one of the town's oldest families and a local business man, Mr. Silas Prime, in the mid 1800's, with the garage/home addition added in 1994. My wife and I live on the property in the older original home which is completely separate from the rental home.

Bathrooms are equipped with extra large pocket doorways and handicap railings.

The master suite has a large walk in closet and a private porch overlooking the flower garden. Master bath has a Jacuzzi tub with separate shower. Second private bedroom suite has large walk-in shower for easy access of wheelchair.

Clean and comfortable
Parson Place was super roomy, super comfortable and super clean. We were a group of 4 (2 couples). The floorplan is actually really large, so we each had our own space when desired (one person could read at one end of the house without being disturbed by TV watching at the other end of the house.) But we all could hang out comfortably together too by the impressive fireplace. Location was perfect for us. Quiet and wooded but near enough to Lake Placid, hiking and an even we were attending at Mt VanHoevenburg.

Impeccable
A beautiful place. Impeccably clean, and our every need was anticipated. The hosts were lovely people. If you like to cook, a very well appointed kitchen. If you want to hike the high peaks, you couldn't find a better location. I would stay here again without hesitation.

Exceptional experience
My husband and I stayed at this property as a “home base” to explore the Adirondacks. As avid hikers we enjoyed the quick and easy access to several mountain trails. After hiking we looked forward to rest and relaxation - this was the perfect place to unwind. Clean, well stocked and so many little touches made this place feel like a home away from home. We didn’t want t to leave!

Magnificent Home
The house was very spacious. The kitchen cabinets were well stocked with small appliances and pots and pans. The coffee pot, dish washer and refrigerator were in excellent condition. The master bedroom was very comfortable and the connecting bathroom was very clean. The living room had large windows, fire place, large tv and furniture to enjoy your morning coffee. Exceptional home!!! Owners were very accommodating. Highly recommend.

Great girl’s hiking weekend
The space was beautiful, plenty of room for four friends. The kitchen was really well stocked and perfect for cooking our dinners. Cay met us on arrival to give us a tour and was so friendly, and even picked some blueberries for us! We did a fabulous hike at Jay Mountain Trail - just 7 minutes from the house to the trailhead. Would love to stay here again.

Oh my, how do I begin. An incredible home away from home. Rex and Cay greeted us and provided a walk through of the house, including some history. Everything and I mean everything and more was provided. So warm and cozy. We have traveled alot over the years and would have to say this is our favorite. Thank you so much Rex and Cay for sharing your incredibly beautiful place with us. What a joy to spend time there.

This was a wonderful place to stay to enjoy the area around Lake Placid but be far enough away from the crowds to enjoy the quiet beauty as well. Rex and Cay were great hosts. Loved the villages of Keene and Keene Valley. Great proximity to Whiteface Mt area as well.

Great location and beautiful well kept home.
Great location in the lake placid region of the Adirondacks. The house is beautiful and very well maintained. Plenty of room to hang out and well stocked kitchen and library. The hosts are very friendly and attentive and located in the attached house. Despite having the hosts next door the place feels very private. Great place as your base camp to explore the Adirondacks. Would recommend to families.

Perfect Getaway Near Whiteface for Skiers
My husband & I have been going to Lake Placid for 30 years. This year, our son wanted to ski with two friends and stay near Whiteface. Parson Place is a perfect location for that. Only a 10-minute drive to Whiteface, we were very happy. Not only is Parson Place beautiful, it is impeccably maintained. The fireplace is a work of art. The fully stocked kitchen (minus dill weed) is state of the art. Loved it! The bedrooms, the library... everything was cozy yet very roomy. Cay & Rex are great hosts. They were just a phone call away and very attentive to our needs. Communication was efficient. The Village of Lake Placid is only 20-25 minutes away; stock up on groceries there since there are no major supermarkets near the house. Overall, we highly recommend staying at Parson Place. We really loved it.

Comfortable and Convenient
Parson Place worked great for our family of five! The pretty property is roomy and comfortable, and its location was convenient to our plans--skiing Whiteface Mountain, visiting Olympic sites, and dining in Lake Placid. We made use of the well-stocked kitchen and enjoyed the large fireplace. The friendly owners gave us a tour upon arrival. I highly recommend this property.
