Lake Placid Hillcrest Haven - Sleeps 14 - 1 block to Main Street

Short Term Rental Permit # - STR-200118

This unique Lake Placid, Adirondack style home was built in 1915 as a year round home for a well-to-do family and shows it in the detail and quality of construction. Over the years it has been thoughtfully maintained and upgraded, while retaining virtually all of the original charm of a house of that era. As with many homes built in the early 1900's, it has many little nooks and cranies where you can grab some quiet time with a good book. It was purpose built to be a large comfortable Adirondack home for a large family and still is.

Details such as beautiful wood railings, built in book cases, a beamed ceiling in dining and living rooms and even skeleton key locks that work on many doors are all part of the experience. At the same time, upgrades, such as a new large master bath, enclosed wrap around rear porch with bay window, and granite kitchen counters have expanded the living area and comfort of this home. Your favorite quiet breakfast spot will be in a corner of that porch surrounded by windows. The deck with Adirondack style railing and the large (accommodates 6) spa you step into right off the deck is another favorite spot of our guests.

The location (one short block from the center of town - short walk to everything) is ideal for large groups and families in particular. At least a dozen restaurants, many shops, movie theater, Olympic skating arena, Mirror Lake and more are literally within a five minute walk. The kids can have as much freedom as you wish. The beautiful Lake Placid Resort golf course (45 holes with an outstanding links layout) is a three minute drive and great tee times are always available. Likewise, Whiteface ski area, Olympic ski jumping, bobsledding, and cross country venues are all within 10-15 minutes.

A fully equipped kitchen, woodstove in living room (wood supplied by us), five televisions, two VCR's, DVD, and wireless internet access make this a house ready to enjoy. Parking for 5 - 6 cars in our driveway and garage.

We have a caretaker in town who maintains the house and hot tub. He is also available to resolve any problems that may arise with the house.

A security camera located on our garage monitors the driveway.

We loved the house and location! It was so beautiful inside with so many original details and charm. It was a perfect size for our large group and we never had any issues with room to hang out or use of a bathroom! The location was absolutely perfect. Right downtown. My only issue would be with the dampness of the home. My father in law has asthma and had some trouble until we opened all of the windows to air out the house. Would just suggest maybe airing out the house before guests arrive? A better dehumidifier system would go a long way to solve this issue! But really that is a small complaint for an otherwise fabulous house. Would stay again!

Lake house close to everything!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is very large and has lots of space for a large group. Plenty of places to hang and unwind. The hot tub was a bonus. We grilled and hung out on the back deck at night. The house is very close to town and has enough parking for 5 cars. We walked everywhere. The older kids In our group loved that a Starbucks was on the corner. The side street going down to town is very steep, but we didn’t have a problem with it. The owner, Bob, was very responsive and helpful while we were there and answered all the questions we had. We will be coming back!

Great location and huge house!

We stayed here for a baseball tournament with 3 families consisting of 6 adults and 5 teens/tweens and it was fantastic! There was plenty of space and privacy for everyone, plenty of dining and deck space, and the walk into town was minutes. The kids enjoyed the hot tub and all of us enjoyed the deck space. Note: the walk back from town is quite steep. Also, there is parking for 3 cars in the driveway but they are blocked in by the last car and there is no street parking.
