About Birdsong
Birdsong is a welcoming Adirondack home designed for real living — a place where people gather, linger, and celebrate. Set just off the main road, it’s private, peaceful, and easy to find, with a layout well suited to both relaxing weekends and active days outdoors.
The main living space is spacious and comfortable, with ample seating, an internet-ready TV, high-speed internet, a dedicated workspace, and a cozy gas fireplace. Games and books for all ages make it easy to settle in, whether you’re here to explore or unwind. Outside, gather around the fire pit in classic Adirondack chairs or play corn hole on the lawn.

Just ask! Past guests have hosted both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners at Birdsong, and cooking here feels like a pleasure — not a chore.
With 3½ bathrooms, mornings are easy and unhurried.

Guest access
Guests have access to the entire home and yard with fire pit. Parking is available for up to 5 cars.
Other things to note While we share a driveway with our neighbors, there is ample parking at Birdsong. Please pull fully onto our property, as there is plenty of room for up to 5 cars. During winter months, snow tires, AWD, or 4WD are helpful, as the driveway is somewhat steep.
This is not a party house. We have nearby full-time neighbors and ask all guests to be respectful and treat the home as their own. Quiet hours are 11pm–7am.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome with prior approval. The yard is unfenced, and with a nearby road and frequent wildlife, pets must be kept on a leash at all times. A $50 per pet fee applies at booking. 2 pets maximum.
Forgot something essential or craving Upstate NY’s best ice cream? Stewart’s is just across the street (.4 miles). Valley Grocery is 8 minutes away and well stocked. For dining out, explore Keene, Elizabethtown, or nearby Lake Placid. See our list of favorites for local recommendations.
Notes: 
There is a video doorbell that records and monitors the front yard. 
Air conditioning units are located in each of the four bedrooms.

Birdsong -spacious & welcoming- your High Peaks getaway

We had a wonderful stay! Upon entering Julie’s AirBnB we felt welcomed into a large open space with kitchen, living room and fire place. There’s actually a comfortably sized foyer area too which made coming and going very convenient between all our ski gear and keeping our dog away from the front door. The upstairs 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms worked very well for us with ample space for belongings. The guest suite on the other side of the house was very impressive, would have been great if we had other guests. This was one of my favorite places I’ve stayed and will definitely choose again when we come back to the area!

We booked Julie’s house as a Christmas gift to my family for a nice little getaway. Her house was beautiful and cozy, it truly felt like it was home away from home. One of the best airbnbs I have stayed at and would 100% recommend Birdsong to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Perfect location for exploring the High Peaks and trying all the ice cream flavors at Stewarts. Kitchen was well equipped which was so helpful when cooking for large groups.

Julie’s house is FABULOUS!!

My family (six adults and two toddlers) had a wonderful stay at Julie's place over Christmas. The house is extremely spacious and comfortable, and Julie was an excellent and responsive host (she replied promptly to our group's many questions in advance of and during our stay). Julie also provided numerous lovely touches, such as plentiful snacks and toiletries in the bathrooms. Would definitely stay at Julie's place again!
