Short walk to village...with private wooded setting. EV Charger in parking area.

As Lake Placid Club grew from its inception in 1895, it experienced many expansive changes. At it's height, the private club included 6,000 acres in an extensive development of accommodations, recreation facilities, service buildings, farmland and forest. In the early part of the 1900s certain members of the club were no longer satisfied with the hotel-like accommodations in the large club house. Over time some 40 cottages were built near, but separate from, the main building. Today, fewer than a dozen of these historic buildings remain. Our house, Juniper Cottage, built in 1923, is one of them. The total renovation of the property, completed in July 2005, has been as respectful as possible to the original Juniper and is designed to maximize its secluded forest setting and the variety of mature trees which surround the house.

Juniper has 4 bedrooms each with their own screened in porch and bathroom. The master bedroom has a gas fireplace (gas), queen bed, sitting area with two chairs, and a closet. A second bedroom on the main floor has a queen bed and closet. The third main floor bedroom has two twin beds and a bathroom with whirlpool tub. The fourth bedroom is located down a spiral staircase from the main floor to a walkout lower level. This bedroom has two twin beds and a private bathroom. The laundry room is also downstairs with both a washing machine and dryer.

The living room has a 14 foot cathedral ceiling, great views of the forest and a large stone fireplace. The room is perfect for sitting around the fireplace reading, chatting, watching TV, or listening to music on the Sonos system. Juniper is equipped with an iMac and high speed internet. Want to unplug? Then feel free to read one of the many books at Juniper, play one of the board games or do an old-fashioned jigsaw puzzle.

The galley kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator, gas range and oven, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, microwave and a large selection of dish ware, glassware, pots, pans, utensils, etc. If you prefer to grill, there is a gas grill right outside the front door.

If you come in the winter to ski, we have plenty of room for your equipment. There are racks to hold eight sets of skis. Also, inside the front door is a small, heated mud room with benches and coat racks so you can easily remove your winter clothes and boots without bringing them into the cottage.

There is a small shed near the parking area of Juniper to put garbage and recyclables. And in the back yard there is a hammock for enjoying the good weather and a lean-to in case you want to spend a night outdoors or just enjoy the fire pit in front of it.

Juniper is close (10 minute walk) to town but situated in a private-wooded setting. This allows for privacy when grilling and/or dining outside. Or just when sitting with your family and friends around the outdoor fire pit roasting marshmallows.

From Juniper Cottage you can easily access many activities. It is a short walk or bike ride into town and all that that has to offer including a park, public beach and tennis courts. On the Lake Placid Club grounds there are three golf courses designed by Scots for the Lake Placid Club.

There is access to many hiking (and biking) trails right outside the front door. In the winter, these trails are great for cross country skiing. With a car, skiing at the Whiteface is 15 minutes away. In all seasons, near-by activities and attractions are truly limitless.

For property security, outdoor security cameras are located at the front and rear doors and cover portions of the front and rear yards. Ringing the doorbell on the front door will ring the indoor chime and will send a ring alert to us.
During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from Mirror Lake. Laundry facilities are available. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the holiday home.

Everything about this place is perfect. We came to town for a weekend ADK golf trip and this location was in perfect proximity to both courses we played. The owners thought of everything to make staying here pleasant and easy. The property was clean upon arrival, easy to get to and there was even ample firewood for our use at the outdoor firepit. The dining room table was a nice touch as it had enough chairs for all 8 of us. The beds were comfortable and the water pressure in the showers was amazing! Would highly recommend this location!!!

July in the ADK

Always love being in LP in any season and especially the week of the 4th of July. Anything goes weather wise and we saw it all. The house was awesome. Loved being in the particular part of LP that it is located in as we’ve actually never planted ourselves there. The peace and quiet was delightful and close enough to everything if you want to take a dip, hit the links, jump on a bike, hike or walk to town. Best of everything!

Beautiful home, but falsly advertised.

When we booked this stay we filtered our possible choices based on which places had hot tubs. Our options were this home and 2 others. We chose this one because the listing pointed out that it was a short walk to the village. Unfortunately both things were false. There was no hot tub and walking to where the food and shops are would take 25 minutes. In the winter this is not a nice walk. It’s cold, uneven and at night the roads are not lit. It is too dangerous to walk. When we got to the house and realized there was no hot tub we checked the listing and it appears they have removed the hot tub from the listing. There is other reviews stating that the house was advertised as having one, the host responded saying that there never was and VRBO was designating their jet tub as a hot tub. I just wish we were notified after booking that there was no hot tub and allowed to cancel our booking because we would have. The house itself was beautiful. Very cozy and had all the essentials. If you aren’t looking for a place with a hot tub or counting on an easy walk to the village this place isperfect. Only complaint about the inside is the beds are creaky.

This is a quaint little cabin. Nestled back in the woods. Perfect location for mirror Lake activities. Very close to Lake Placid. Easy walk to anything that you want to do in the town. Super comfortable for our family of seven. We would definitely stay here again on return trips to Lake Placid. Loved it!

Another great stay at Juniper!

This was our fourth time staying at Juniper and it was another great experience. The location is perfect for us, nestled in the woods, but walking distance to town and Mirror Lake. Our four yr old son loves staying at “The Bear House” (his name for it because of the bear in dining area). We look forward to returning next year!

Nice house but false advertising

Great little house, cozy, great location. THEY DO NOT HAVE A HOT TUB. The jacuzzi bathtub which they advertise as a hot tub cannot be used because there is not enough hot water to fill it. We always look for properties with a hot tub, and this house lists one as an amenity, but does not have one, and has no evidence of ever having one. Other than that it was a great stay

Has Potential

Juniper cottage is in a terrific location and we walked to almost everything. The decor is Adirondack charm and each room was very comfortable. We entered the cottage earlier than check in as it seemed ready and we were contacted by the owner to have asked for permission to do so, totally understand this. The owner then cancelled the caretaker that apparently checks the cottage one hour prior to our 4pm check in time. Even with a caretaker check, the overall cottage would still have needed a thorough cleaning, both inside and out. The porches were filthy with faces drawn on the screen dirt off one of the bedrooms, dirty cushions and dirty throw rugs, cobwebs and mold. The interior needs some freshening as well especially the small kitchen area. The kitchen was functional with anything you would need but since its small, it would have been nice to not have each cabinet used with the owner's food and supplies. All groceries we purchased needed to be kept in a bin in the family room. Our family spends a lot of time in the Adirondacks each year and we are used to many styles of homes and are not in need of anything fancy. This rental has potential but needs some TLC.
