Cozy Two-Unit Cottage with Deck and Grill in Lake Placid, New York

Description

Welcome to this beautiful house with two separate apartment units that make up the entire house rental, just steps away from the Village of Lake Placid. Our home is located just below Whiteface Mountain in Lake Placid, NY and is the perfect getaway for friends and families to enjoy. The house itself was recently renovated to have all the modern amenities (including ones you might expect from a resort hotel), but also has the thoughtful charm of being your home away from home.

SPACE
Enjoy your morning coffee by the fireplace, or an afternoon cocktail al fresco on our patio. We have everything you need for the perfect getaway, whether you love hiking, skiing, swimming, relaxing, cooking, adventuring or all of the above.

The Living Room is our favorite spot to enjoy in the house. Get a fire going in our brick fireplace and make the house feel super cozy. Lounge on the sofas, switch on the Smart TV (where you can easily sign into your Netflix, Hulu, or other streaming account) for movie night or the big game, or enjoy one of our board games with your group. Each unit has its own living room (only unit 1 has a fireplace) and dining room area.

Sleeping Arrangements
Unit 1 has one traditional bedroom and can sleep 4 guests. The King Size Bedroom sleeps 2, and the pull out sofa in the living room sleeps another 2. Unit 2 has two bedrooms and can sleep 4 guests. The King Size Bedroom sleeps 2, and the bunk bed room sleeps another 2. Our bedrooms feature Casper Mattresses, quality linens, and are thoughtfully decorated. Each bedroom has either a closet or a dresser so you can comfortably unpack for your stay. Additionally, each room has its own climate control so that guests can adjust to their individual preference.

The Kitchen
Each Unit has its own kitchen, equipped with all new appliances and finishes as well as cooking utensils, pots and pans, general spices, and basically all the tools you need to make morning pancakes, spaghetti bolognese dinner, and everything in between. (Groceries not provided.) For morning coffee, there is a coffee machine (with coffee provided), but please also feel free to bring along your favorite roast. You will find all the dish ware, serve ware, and drink ware you need for your group to dine, but don’t worry, we have you covered with a dishwasher too.

Bathrooms
There are two bathrooms in Unit 1, the first bathroom is a powder room located near the living area. The second bathroom is nested in the bedroom and is a full bathroom with a combination shower/tub. There is one bathroom in Unit 2, a full bathroom with a combination shower/tub. The bathrooms are stocked with toiletries, a hair dryer, and super plush towels. Also in-unit is a washer and dryer for your use.

Outdoors
Step out the back door and you will find yourself on a wood deck with lounge seating for 4. If BBQ-ing is your thing, we have you covered with a propane grill. An extra tank is provided in case the one there runs low and needs to be swapped out. Note, this deck is accessible through the Unit 1 space only.

ACCESS
Guests can enjoy the privacy of the entire house. Please note that the parking area is right off the road and you need to walk down stairs to access the house.

NEIGHBORHOOD
Nestled on the South side of Whiteface Mountain, the house is a quick 15-minute drive to the Whiteface Mountain ski slopes, 10 10-minute walk/2 min drive to Mirror Lake, and 10 10-minute walk to Lake Placid Village. The location is perfect for winter skiing, sledding, and snowboarding. In the fall, hike below the beautiful foliage, and in the spring/summer be sure to check out Mirror Lake, more hiking, antiquing, and local farms & vineyards.

There are a handful of markets nearby, including a supermarket as well as a couple of wine & liquor stores for your convenience. This house is so well located that you will find great Food & Drink options moments away, including Generations, ‘Dack Shack, Ere’s Pizza Ristorante, Redneck Bistro, Simply Gourmet Bakery, Kanu, Cocoa & Dough Co., Great Adirondack Brewing Company, and so much more.

If you are looking for the great outdoors, there’s something for everyone - year-round. A quick 15-minute drive gets you to the base of Whiteface Mountain, the fifth-highest mountain in the U.S. state of New York, and one of the High Peaks of the Adirondack Mountains. Set apart from most of the other High Peaks, the summit offers a 360-degree view of the Adirondacks and clear-day glimpses of Vermont and even Canada. Whiteface's ski area boasts 90 trails stretching over 25 miles and encompassing three peaks. In the summer months, enjoy the Adirondack High Peaks from the comfort of an eight-passenger, high-speed gondola cabin, on the Cloudsplitter Gondola Ride. You can also hike a variety of trails of every level to explore the mountain, which is particularly amazing in the fall months as the leaves are turning colors.

During the warmer months, you can zip over to Mirror Lake, just 5 minutes away by car. Enjoy a 2.7-mile stroll (or run!) around Mirror Lake in the center of Lake Placid. This is a flat, scenic loop that's perfect for as many laps as you like. Or canoe, kayak, stand-up paddleboard, or aqua bike across this gorgeous 128-acre, one-mile-long lake.
