Ideal Location & Spectacular Views - Sleeps 8!

SUMMARY
Adventure awaits at this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom apartment in the heart of Lake Placid. In an incredible location, this vacation rental is steps away from all the best family-friendly activities as well as dining and shopping on Main Street. In the summer, you can walk around Mirror Lake and swim at the public beach or enjoy a tennis (or pickleball) match at the nearby courts. During the winter, you're steps from the Herbs Brooks Arena, Olympic Speed Skating Oval, Lake Placid Toboggan Chute, and skating or dog sledding on Mirror Lake. For skiers, the pickup for the free shuttle service between Lake Placid and Whiteface Mountain is around the corner at the Crown Plaza Hotel, alternatively, you're only a 20-minute drive away. After an action-packed day, gather in the large open-concept kitchen to prepare and enjoy a home-cooked meal.

We cannot say enough about the house, great location to the hockey rinks as we were there for the Can/Am tournament. The house is well appointed, towels blankets pillows!

Property is extremely convenient to Main St and Grand Adirondack wedding venue. Very clean, comfortable and well equipped to cook and dine in. Hilltop location may challenge pedestrians who are uncomfortable with sloped sidewalks, but we had vehicles and enjoyed walking to take in the views.

Good location, but noisy and very worn
The house is fine but not comfortable (extremely old and practically unusable living room furniture, beds were very uncomfortable) and very noisy (the upstairs folks kept us up at night). It’s a very central location. It does have a nice kitchen. I would not stay here again though. The fact we couldn’t sit comfortably in the living room was a major bummer.

Great experience!
This was first experience renting thru VRBO and I would definitely recommend it to my family and friends. Rudy made everything so easy and was so pleasant to deal with. The house was a great set up. Especially loved that each bedroom had its own full bath! Great location and just what we all needed for a quick get away weekend.

Rented this property for me and our adult children to attend a wedding in the area. Home was spotless, well appointed and the adult couples particularly liked the en suite bathrooms for all. Very conviently located and a nice walk into town. We all said we would rent there again.

Really Nice In Town House
This was a solid rental in Lake Placid. The space was better than the pictures would indicate. We were two families with 4 adults and 3 kids and we all had plenty of space with the bedrooms, bathrooms and two living spaces. If you have multiple kids I would recommend bringing an aero bed since there aren’t any bunk beds. We put a twin aero bed on the floor in the one bedroom so that we could keep the second living space open for kids play use instead of using the pull out bed. The kitchen was stacked fairly well but could use a few more things - like a set of wine glasses and better cooking utensils. Finally the location is great from a birds eye view in the sense it’s super close to town but if traveling with kids (we had a 3 YO) just realize you have to go down the very steep Olympic Dr next to the Crowne Plaza unless you could the opposite direction and head down Marcy At. It’s not impossible, we did it a couple times, just be prepared. Overall we had a really good stay at this house and would recommend it.
