In 1960, the farm was purchased by Asplins Christmas tree farm, where they planted over 10,000 Christmas trees on the property. Some of these trees were never harvested and tours run through the now tall balsam trees. The farm house deteriorated until 1990 when the property was bought by the Freeburgs. Dick Freeburg restored the house and was also awarded a grant to restore the barn in 2005.
Dick continues to grow multiple crops on the property including apples, hops, grapes, pumpkins, Christmas trees and more. A lot of effort is spent making products out of the produce including apple butter, pies, juice, and sauce.
The Christmas tree are planted each Spring and Fall with multiple weeks spent during the mid summer shaping them into the traditional Christmas tree look. Check out the photos below.
Coby is the Mascot of Farm. Coby is a good boy. He enjoys tug-o-war, butt scratches and eating everything. He loves adventures and is excited to meet everyone. Ask for him when you stop by! He’d love to say hi.
AleshunkaMarch 18, 2024Amazing experience and best deal in the area! I booked a snowmobile experience as a gift to my mom and everything was great! We were the only ones during our time slot, but the host still was very attentive and gave us an whole hour and 40 mins tour. You can switch drivers, take pictures during your ride. We also spotted some wild life. It was a little hard on a warmer day as the snow was wet, hence harder to make turns, but we still liked it a lot. Recommended
James DomozychFebruary 27, 2024We had a great experience with Farmhouse Snowmobiling. They had brand new machines that worked like a charm, our guide was great and took us on a variety of trails from wide open fields, nice straight aways for some speed, groomed trails as well as small trails through the trees. Overall great experience.
Howard SpielerFebruary 25, 2024Great, family run operation. Our instructor was super patient and friendly. We were first timers and had a blast! Highly recommend.
Dmitry DranFebruary 25, 2024These guys were supper nice , took us early , recorded videos of us , and took pictures let us stop for a bathroom break and play in the snow this was the highlight of our trip
Jake NicastroFebruary 18, 2024Forrest was great! He even convinced my wife to drive and she had a blast! I would highly recommend to anyone. Great experience!
Michelle ScottFebruary 18, 2024Went out yesterday on the snowmobiles - absolutely stellar and worth every penny. Couldn’t recommend enough for a fun time. They go fast and you go through picturesque fields and trails.
Pauline RicamaraFebruary 17, 2024Very memorable experience! Our tour guide, Lee, was very nice. He constantly stops to make sure we’re all ok and having fun.
Bartek GFebruary 10, 2024These guys are top notch. Very kid friendly as well is a huge plus. Kids loved the ride! Make the trip. Well worth it.
Thomas GardnerFebruary 6, 2024The new snowmobiles make a big difference with how enjoyable the guided tour is. Much more comfortable and easier to maneuver. Lee was a great guide and he kept the group occupied through the different skill sets. Overall an adaptive and comfortable experience to skill sets of all ranges with Lee’s help
S HFebruary 5, 2024Very cool experience! The staff was great. Not sure if it was because limited snow cover, but the trails were very bumpy and we covered some of the same areas more than once.

Armando L.January 16, 2024Had an absolutely great time with Lee as our guide. My son rode with him and my daughter and I had our own snowmobile. The scenery was picturesque. The trails were fun. We rarely just went in a straight line. So many undulations and turns. It truly was so much fun. Like being in a real-life post card. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a family-friendly adventure in the area. A bit of adrenaline, a whole lot of beautiful scenery, and an uncommon experience.Verified
Jaime J.September 26, 2023Such a fun experience for all, from my 6 year old to us 40 year olds. Beautiful lands, great tracks, well running carts. It was a 5 star experience!Verified
Bailey S.July 17, 2023So. Much. Fun! Cannot recommend this experience enough if you're in the area. Lee was so kind and helped make our day one to remember!Verified
Tyler B.May 30, 2023Go-Karts Review: Hands down the most exciting adventure my wife and I experienced over Memorial Day weekend. This beautifully-run family business is 5 STARS all the way. They are about 15-20 min away from Saranac Lake/Lake Placid, so it's not a bad drive. The kart we drove was in great condition and drove smooth. 5-6 laps around a generously-sized track filled with Christmas trees and open fields with the Adirondacks in the backdrop. The kart is $85, so split it and share a kart if budget is a concern. Shoutout to Lee who flattens the track, monitors your entire experience for safety, and runs marketing. Go visit them this summer!Verified
Craig K.January 25, 2023If you are looking for simply THE BEST guided snowmobiling on the East Coast, look no further. Lee, our guide, led us on trails throughout public and private land, right near Saranac Lake, NY. Our tour lasted about 1 1/2 hours, which was plenty long enough for us. We rode through wooded trails, as well as wide open fields. The sleds featured hand warmers, and were well balanced. FS has gear if you need it, especially the required helmets. If you want to have a unique, exhilarating experience, this is the activity for you. Looking forward to next time!!!Verified
Brian V.February 12, 2021Super fun! My entire family had a great time! Leave message on answering machine and Dick calls you back within 24 hours. The two guides we're so nice and helpful as they had to pull people out of the deep powder or dealing with people who had issues driving. My 2 issues - it's definitely not 90 minutes of riding as stated. It's 90 minutes from your scheduled start time, regardless of when your start, and there are many variables that can affect your time. - they should have a 5 minute time for people to get comfortable with the snowmobiles before heading out on the trails. That would save time later on for those who might have issues riding. With that being said, my family had an awesome time.Verified
Michelle F.January 15, 2021I highly recommend Farmhouse Snowmobiling. I called a few days in advance to guarantee a reservation since it was a holiday weekend. Dick and Sean were very professional and extremely nice. Sean was our tour guide...he knew the trails very well and made the tour fun for riders of all different levels. If you are looking for a memorable and fun experience this is the place to go!VerifiedMike T.February 16, 2020Great tour today. Guides were great as were that sleds! Highly recommended!! Our group rented 7 sleds all were well maintained and ran very well. Good job Farmhouse snowmobile tours!VerifiedJodi H.July 14, 2018We had a blast on the go carts! It is a 2 mile track and you can get about 5 laps done in the alotted 45 minutes. The owner was great, the farm is beautiful. Highly recommend if you are in the Lake Placid area.Verified
Matt I.January 12, 2018My family took a vacation to lake placid and decided to try snowmobiling. None of us had ever been on a sled before so we didn't know what to expect. Everyone there was super nice, I guides name was Evan and he was awesome. Real scenic ride, got to go at a good pace, I even sunk the sled in a snow bank and he was super helpful and helped me get it out. Would recommend to anyone and I will be going back.

KariFebruary 27, 2024Wonderful experience! We had a great experience! Lee was our guide on our 1 1/2 hour tour. There were 7 snowmobiles in our group. We were able to cruise at decent speeds and every few minutes Lee would stop to make sure we were all caught up and together. We did some trails through fields, woodlands, and powerlines. Towards the end, we stopped for a few minutes so Lee could check in on everyone and take a few pictures for us. The snowmobiles are brand new and comfortable. We will definitely book again on our next trip to Lake Placid.Verified
Bill HFebruary 20, 2024Second year in a row with teens Second year in a row we’ve been here. Our guide Forrest was great! Brand new snowmobiles this year - with more comfortable seats and handles on the back. My 12 year old daughter loves the ride! At one point, she gets to sit in front (with me on back) and drive. Super fun - and the snow we had during the ride made us feel like we were in a snowglobe!Verified
Lisa SFebruary 7, 2024Winter Ride My husband and I had a fantastic time with Farmhouse Snowmobiling and Go Karts. There was plenty of snow and it was a beautiful trail through fields and forest. At times some of the others in the group were going fast but us slowpokes in the back were given time to catch up. We felt safe with the quality machine and equipment. It was a great ride and I would definitely do it again. Thank you to our great guide and Farmhouse Snowmobiling.Verified
PattyMcFebruary 5, 2024Best in Lake Placid Awesome snowmobiling company. Best in Lake Placid! Beautiful trails, brand new sleds! Great caring guide! Highly recommend!Verified
Gesenia GFebruary 4, 2024A must!!! My husband and I had an amazing time with Lee as our guide, he was very informative before we started and would stop throughout to make sure we didn't have any questions and so we could take pics. The scenery is AMAZING!!!!Verified
Caddy411February 1, 2024Farmhouse snowmobile What a good time! The Weather didn’t cooperate as there was only a few inches of snow on the ground and the state trails were closed. We rode on private land and it was still fun. The staff was courteous and professional. They clearly explained the functions on the machine for beginners. It was snowing when we rode so that added to the experience, Fun time , we’ll be back.Verified
Kristopher SJanuary 29, 2024Awesome Experience Awesome experience for first timers, new machines & great people. Snow was decent and made for a real good time!!! KristopherVerified
diana hJanuary 23, 2024Amazing time ! First time snowmobiling! Had an awesome experience! The guide was down to earth and fun! The trails were beautiful -open fields and woods! Would definitely recommendVerified
Tour720940January 16, 2024Scenery Guide was attentive,felt they were going very fast. Might have been the group, could not enjoy the scenery.Overall a good experience.Verified
Rose TAugust 25, 2023A great experience! Would definitely come again. Great family run place to go off-road Karting in Lake Placid area but you won’t find any big flashy signs when you pull into driveway. Around back you’ll find a big red (and quite impressive) barn. Lee gave us a friendly welcome, answered all of our questions, and had the karts for our two families ready to go pretty quick. The 2 mile track went through a Christmas tree farm and was easy to navigate through. We all came out covered in dust which was testimony to the thrilling ride we had! Each Kart seats two and if you like, there is a rest area where you can safely pull over to switch drivers. There was a very clean portable restroom on site. Would highly recommend for families with older teenagers or young adults who would enjoy an off-road karting experience.
Susan Alsop-De Los SantosJanuary 16, 2024Had a great time with Lee as our guide. Highly recommend this experience.
Fana MakgoloOctober 13, 2023I saw a page review about MRS Rochelle Nelson FX and I must confess that she is a good trader and best in her field as they said, She managed my account after I invested $500 I got $6,200 within few day's of investment I was so shocked ,with MRS Sandra your money is 100% secured. Trust me you have nothing to lose. You can contact her via WhatsApp: +13016159610 facebook"Rochelle Nelson rochellenelson571@gmail.com
Patty Serra MayberryJune 19, 2023The go karts and course were a lot of fun. Our teenage boys are already planning their return trip.
Jenni Shah InDecember 28, 2022Really awesome experience. The route is really beautiful. I have never driven a snowmobile but was able to do it and my kids had a great time too. Definitely a memorable experience.

Aleksandra BlakeJanuary 6, 2019Just did our first tour, already booked second trip. Great guys!!!
Robert TwardowskiDecember 15, 2018Went snowmobiling for the first time today. The area and the service was totally amazing. It made my first experience even better. I would highly recommend stopping here on your visit to Lake Placid.
Mike DeFilippisAugust 2, 2017Went in the go kart with my 7 year old daughter and had a blast! Was offered a rain coat at the beginning and foolishly turned it down. Ruined our clothes, but it was totally worth it. Absolutely great time. We will be back!
Mary CoombsJuly 10, 2017Took our 5 year old and 7 year old boys here last week and had SO MUCH FUN! They can't stop talking about it! Loved the mud and speed on the field course. Would highly recommend this!!
