Modern retreat w/hot tub, fireplace, game room, sledding hill, walk to Main St

We are thrilled to open our hearts and family home to you! (STR permit 200169).

Whether you're coming to Lake Placid to ski, skate, sled, paddle, bag some 46ers, train on the Ironman course, race IMLP, delve into our Olympic history, celebrate a special event or just want to relax by the fire after hot tubbing and experience the best sleep of your life from the mountain air and our cozy beds, you can do all of that in our modernized, historic home, just 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.

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, and an enclosed back patio with a salt water hot tub.

We're located right across from the best sledding hill in town at Teddy Bear Park. We have plenty of sleds for you to use, and a boot dryer to dry all your gear.

Our house is at the top of the hill just behind the movie theater in the center of town on Main Street. 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 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.

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. 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 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 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.

Great for a group
Our group of 8 rugby players really enjoyed the space, lots of options to either tuck away or gather all together. Really loved the proximity to the public beach on Mirror Lake, which we used daily. You're right across the street from a kids' playground and big grass lot - perfect for whiffle ball games!

Beautiful House and Great Location
The house was spacious with a long list of desirable amenities for a larger group. Julie, the host, was great at communicating throughout our stay. The location was a quick uphill walk from Main Street but very accessible to all Lake Placid has to offer. Overall, a great experience and would highly recommend.

Wonderful Winter Getaway!
This house was the perfect size for our 3 families. It provides a great mix of group space and personal space, and the accommodations made us feel right at home. From game nights to group dinners, we had everything we needed for a long weekend getaway. Location was key, as we enjoyed walking to town multiple times, and it was central to all of our activities. We had a great time!

Wonderful Stay!
Our family had an amazing stay here with plenty of room to spread out in the house during Ironman week. The hot tub was perfect to relax in before and after our race. Julie and Josh were amazing hosts with thoughtful touches around the house during our stay. Communication was perfect during the stay, and the one issue we had with thw door lock was solved immediately, making our stay that much easier. Would stay here again with our family anytime!
