Perfect home for a couple of friends, maybe 3, to explore the Lake Placid area. Only 20-30 minutes from great hikes, Whiteface, John Brown Farm, Mt. Van Hoevenberg, Lake Saranac. A short walk to ice cream, pizza, and just a little farther to downtown LP. Host was very responsive and home is sufficiently equipped. My friend and I had a very nice stay.
The house is beautifully renovated and impeccable. It is perfect for a family of 3-4. It is tucked in the second row off Saranac Ave. so traffic is not heard. There is a small porch around the entrance and the parking spot is right in front of the house (additional parking is available). Rooms have individual thermostats and heating is very effective - it was easy to keep the house perfectly comfortable at all times despite sub-zero temperatures that we experienced for couple days early in the week. There was also a ton of snowfall which was effectively and timely removed by a friendly neighbor so that we were never buried and late to Whiteface. The house is very thoughtfully, thoroughly and freshly equipped and the instructions are very clear. There is a great walk-in closet next to the two upstairs bedrooms to put all the ski clothing and luggage. The two bedrooms have high-quality queen mattresses. We ate at home 50% of nights and the kitchen is perfectly stocked with all sorts of cooking utensils and a starter kit of coffee, tea, sugar, slat and spices. Michael is a terrific host both in upfront preparation and thoughtfulness, as well as immediate responsiveness. Nothing is missed! Thanks so much for a wonderful stay.
The Cottage is in a very good location, off main road, but can walk to restaurants.It is Very Clean, updated in all rooms.Kitchen had everything we needed.Check in and check out was very easy.Plenty of parking. Would highly recommend The Cortage, and we will plan to stay there in the future.I would hifh
The cottage was set back from the main road which was nice. Michael, the host, was extremely helpful with dining suggestions and things to do in the area. We had a great stay!
All good!
Would suggest to the owner that the TV have more options. I am not a TV watcher, but I did want to catch up on the news and found that difficult. Maybe an antenna would help if there are local channels that can be received.
Other than that, I would suggest a shade on the front door to provide more privacy.
Other than that, I would highly highly recommend this place as it was quiet and comfortable in a good location and clean and convenient and well appointed
The property was exactly what I was looking for with my trip to Lake Placid. It was very comfortable in a location just far enough from the main part of town to be quiet but easy, walkable access to everything I needed.
My friend and I booked the cottage for a weekend while we competed in the ADK Fitness Challenge. The cottage is very clean, check in a breeze and every detail was taken into consideration! We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back! The location was perfect! Highly recommend!!!!
The house was very clean and orderly, with comfortable beds. The hosts were good communicators and went above and beyond, offering to do things that they wouldn't be required to do, like early check in. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies. Thermostats in every room. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.
The property was convenient â very walkable into town. Everything was clean. We met a cute dog outside when we first got there (a total plus in my book!). Parking was easy⊠I would definitely stay there again the next time we are up!
Probably the best thing was that each room has its own thermostat and in winter that is so nice! As for cleanliness, it was as if we were the first to stay after a renovation. Kitchen, bath all new. Beds comfy, towels soft. Itâs just over the hill from downtown, we enjoyed a short drive and walks along all the shops. Only about 20 mins from Whiteface ski area. Will def consider it next time we are in the area.
Perfect location, walkable to Main St.
House was clean and updated on the inside. The only issue we had was that the cooktop is super slow so either plan on eating out or precooking! Took an hour to cook bacon- no exaggeration. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come again!
We had an unexpected stay in Lake Placid and Mike's property was the perfect spot for us to enjoy cycling, hiking, and relaxing. We barely used our car and found the location to be excellent. We loved the little front porch and seeing the beautiful flowers. Highly recommend this spot. Thanks Mike for being a terrific host!
We really enjoyed our stay here! The hosts were super communicative and thoughtful. It was close enough to walk into town, but still in a quiet area. The accommodations were very clean and nice. We would definitely stay here again.
