About this property

Riverfront home- In Town, walk to shopping and Olympic Center-Beautiful!

(STR Permit # 200021)

The Otter House is a beautiful home that is the perfect blend of that cozy adirondack experience, with modern touches. It is decorated with a rustic modern style. The home's town location is convenient and walking distance to shopping and the olympic center. But, its uniqueness lies in the quiet secluded location right on the water, with beautiful water and mountain views. The town proximity with a quiet, waterfront location is a rare combination in Lake Placid! You can have it all at our house!

The open concept great room is perfect for those family gatherings and for spending time together.

Perfect family vacation!

We had an amazing winter vacation in Lake Placid - skiing, ice fishing and exploring the town. The house was even better than we expected with so much space for our family of 6! It was clean and comfortable, with everything we need to cook meals and relax as a family. We will definitely stay here again if we are back in the area!!

Awesome family vacation

We had a family of six (4 kids 7 and under) stay on the property and it was amazing. The house literally had everything you could want to do from a nice cooking kitchen to kayaks. We will 100% be trying to stay there again next year. Thank you to the host for having such a great property.

Great place!

We had a great time at this little getaway! Close enough to walk to Lake Placid, but feels like a waterfront mountain retreat. Lots of extras: bikes, kayaks, ice machine, extra towels. The house was very clean, and the owner was very responsive when we had questions or concerns.

Otter way

The home was as described and as pictured in the VRBO listing. We enjoyed looking at the river behind the home, using the fire pit, and the home itself was roomy and clean and beautiful. It is walkable to Main Street lake placid for us / for others the high grade hill may be an issue for some. The only other issue was how hot and humid the first and second floors became during the mid morning until bedtime. It was not a particularly hot week in lake placid but we had to leave the windows open due to collection of heat inside, and the indoor air would begin to feel somewhat sticky and heavy. The basement living space did stay nice and cool the entire time as promised by the owner. Despite this, and because we were outdoors most of those hours anyways, we would still choose to stay here again.

Great house

The house was really nice, very clean, and exactly as described. The view of the river was gorgeous and also kayaking and canoeing in it was a fun afternoon activity. The kitchen was comfortable to cook in which we did every night. We watched a movie on the big tv screen in the lower level den. We enjoyed the fire pit as well. Basically we had a great time using the house and everything it had to offer, not just for its access to the Adirondacks. We did plan to walk into town (around half an hour). However, even though we saw other pedestrians, most of the way was on a narrow shoulder - not a sidewalk. Also, the area surrounding Otter House’s development was a bit depressed. The owner/manager was phenomenal. She was quick to respond, and addressed all of our questions- big and small. She made using the house very easy and pleasant. We would definitely recommend the house!

Better than Advertised

My family of eight could not be more pleased with our stay (July 9-15, 2022). The home is gorgeous, it's close to the center of town, and there is a ton to do in and around the home. Most of us know the experience of "It looked different online." This was quite the opposite; it was even better in-person. All of us "oohed" and "aahed" for the first hour of our vacation, before enjoying a memory-filled vacation in Lake Placid. Thank you!

Perfect private retreat for our family of 7 to relax and use as a base for local adventuring. The home is very spacious, has super comfortable sleeping arrangements and nice touches like games and puzzles for entertaining, kayaks for enjoying the river and a large fire pit for s’mores. A perfect home away from home.

OtterWay at Lake Placid

The house was exactly like the pictures showed. There was plenty of room for the 7 adults that stayed at the house. It was very well stocked for eating in and close enough to town to walk for dinner. The river was great for kayaking and was close to public access on Lake Placid with beautiful mountains as a background when on the lake. The place is close to great hiking hills with wonderful mountain views.

About the host

Hosted by kara.eastwood@rochesterregional.org

Host profile image
We love being outdoors in all 4 seasons. We love hiking, skiing, cross-country skiing, ice skating, kayaking, canoeing, biking and fishing. Lake Placid has 4 seasons of access to the activities we love in one of the most beautiful places on earth. We rented this house on multiple occasions and fell in love with it- leading to our purchasing the home in 2020.

Why they chose this property

We rented this house on several occasions and fell in love with the serenity and view of the Chubb River. The house is new with modern amenities and perfectly laid out for multiple families to use at once. Yet furnishings and decoration and style of the house provides authentic Adirondack Charm. The house offers the conveniences of a large and well equipped kitchen, spacious bedrooms with beautiful views, and waterfront access to the Chubb River for fishing, Canoeing, and Kayaking directly from our dock. All while being easy walking distance to Main Street and the Olympic Center.

What makes this property unique

New construction with modern amenities. Meticulously clean. Beautiful views of the Chubb River with views from the back of the house that make you feel miles from anywhere. Direct waterfront access to the Chubb River. Yet walking to town and all of the activities, shopping and restaurants that are on offer there. We think you will love this house as much as we do.
