Welcome! We are thrilled to open our hearts and family home to you! (STR permit 200169).
Whether you're coming to Lake Placid to seek adventure on the slopes, bag some 46ers, explore the lakes, rivers and gorges, train on the Ironman course, race IMLP, skate on historic ice, delve into our Olympic history and watch current athletes, fly down our iconic toboggan chute across a frozen Mirror Lake, or just want to relax by the fire and experience the best sleep of your life from the mountain air and our cozy beds, we hope you'll stay in our modernized, historic home, steps from Mirror Lake and all the best bars, restaurants and shops on Main Street. That might be the longest sentence I've ever strung together, but it's justified. This is THE place to bring the whole fam for action-packed experiences year round, in the shadows of champions from from past and present.
You'll find our home at the top of the hill just behind the movie theater in the center of town. You can practically smell the homemade turnovers and scones at Bluesberry Bakery from our front porch.
Mirror Lake is just down the hill. The Olympic Center and Olympic Oval are within walking distance. The Olympic Ski Jumping Complex and Lake Placid Horse Show Grounds are a 5 minute drive (or very short run/ride). Whiteface Ski Resort is a 15 minute drive. Whiteface Peak is visible from our front porch and all the bedrooms in the front of the house. Once you see that magical, ever-changing view, you might never leave! Which is totally OK, as long as you renew your rental contract.
We have plenty of space for everyone in your crew — 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, game room with foosball and darts, playroom with air hockey, knee hockey and lots of toys, games and books, basement with separate entry for protected storage for all your gear, an enclosed back patio with a salt water hot tub and 5 off-street parking spaces.
We have flatscreens in all of the bedroom rooms, hi-speed WiFi throughout the house and Fire Sticks for all your streaming needs. But we hope you'll spend most of your time outside, exploring everything the Adirondacks have to offer. While we're famous for winter sports, the warmer months offer equally epic adventures.
Each floor of our home has its own full bath with shower, vanity, towels, hairdryer and bath products. Life's too short for drama or cheap shampoo.
The main floor features a spacious dining room, gourmet kitchen with brand new appliances and everything you could hope to have for cooking and entertaining (fully stocked by someone who's incredibly picky about the things in her kitchen), spacious living room with stone fireplace, TV and enough seating for your entire group, game room with darts, foosball and a bar with a popcorn maker, full bath, laundry room, newly constructed bedroom and access to the bike/gear room in the basement.
The enclosed back patio is the perfect, private oasis. It features a propane grill, large dining table and additional outdoor seating, and salt water hot tub. We encourage you to eat every meal possible out on the deck. (Just don't eat or drink in the hot tub, please.)
Our covered front porch is the perfect spot for sipping drinks while watching the sunset, or witnessing a summer storm roll over the peaks. If you have kids or are the kind of people who never travel without a spikeball set, you've hit the rental property jackpot — there's a spacious public park and playground directly across from our house with one of the best sledding hills in town. It's easy to keep an eye on your kids playing over there while enjoying those aforementioned drinks from the front steps — one of the many reasons we knew we had to own this home.
The second floor features 4 bedrooms and 1 full bath. Each bedroom has a flatscreen TV, WiFi and ridiculously soft hotel linens.
WHITEFACE: King Bed
TIPS UP: 2 Double Beds
SNOWSHOE: 1 Queen, 1 Double
CASCADE: King Bed
The third floor features another full bath and a playroom, equipped with air hockey, knee hockey, Thomas the Train and his many, many friends, books, toys, games and a flat screen TV — just in case Thomas loses his appeal. To add to the family friendliness of our home, we offer a pack-and-play travel crib, infant tub, high chair and dishes for kids.
The ground floor entry to the basement offers secure, dry, temperature-controlled storage for all your bikes, skis, boots, wetsuits and assorted gear, as well as a new boot/gear dryer.
Foam roller, yoga mat, resistance bands, jump rope and wiffle ball bats are located in the front hall closet.
Private, off-street parking for 5 cars is available in front of the house.
We love pets and we bet yours is adorbs, but we'll have to settle for seeing them on Instagram and not in our home.
Similarly, we have an aversion to tobacco/smoking and large groups looking to party. Sorry, brah. This is a family home. If you're hosting a bachelor or bachelorette party, we wish you all the best, but we are not the property for you.
Nature has the power to change you and whomever you come here with — we hope you'll let it! Stay with us, and fully experience everything the Adirondacks have to offer. Dare to do something different! We can't wait to hear about all of your adventures.
