Location was perfect

We were in Lake Placid to ski and relax as a family. The house was ideally located, easy to access the shuttle bus to Whiteface and easy walk in and out of town. Nice park just beyond the house. The house had everything we needed.

Labor Day Weekend 2023

This is our second time staying at the home. It is a lovely older home that always seems to welcome us into it. There is a history of the house and pictures of the last family that lived there that gives it personal touches that I no longer see in other VRBO homes. The house is exceptionally clean. We enjoyed the back porch when the weather was nice, and the indoor porch when it was cooler. With older family members staying with us, the first floor bed was appreciated. We look forward to staying at the home again!

Beautiful Home in a Beautiful Town

The house is very nice, and the location couldn’t be better. Yes it’s old, with some things that are different from today’s standards, like separate hot and cold faucets in the bathroom sinks. But that’s also a part of it’s charm. Minor criticisms are that the parking is very tight for three cars, and a couple of instructions didn’t match. For instance, garbage bags weren’t where the instructions said they were. After spending some time looking everywhere twice I gave up only to find them at the bottom of the garbage can. But minor. I’d definitely stay there again. The owner was very nice and very accommodating.

Historical and Convenient

This charming old house built in the early 1900s has been a family property for many decades. We appreciated the history, the many antiques, and the very convenient location to downtown. All 4 of us were comfortable. The hosts were very helpful with local suggestions and they responded quickly to our needs. A great find in Lake Placid!

Great interesting house conveniently located in Lake Placid

The whole family enjoyed this well kept 1908 house. It was well kept and enjoyed several indoor and outdoor areas for us to relax. It’s location was very conveniently located on the north side of town making walking around the lake and into town very easy. We would look forward to staying at the house again!

Wonderful family home

We had a very positive experience with this home. You can tell it's a loved family home that made me and my family feel at home, from the big kitchen and dining room to cocktails on the porch and coffee in the sun room with views of Mirror lake. It's perfect walking distance to the village. We were in town for a wedding and the accommodations made it a memorable weekend for our family. Thank you!

Large family home

Great location for walking around town. Tons of space - great for larger gatherings or for giving people space to retreat before coming back together. Enough showers and bathrooms for everyone. The vibe is more like a family home than your typical vacation rental. Only critique, as others have said on here, is that beds could be updated. Creaky / thin beds.

Gorgeous old house

This house is gorgeous! We just loved being in an older house with so many rooms! :) More than enough bathrooms, showers, bedding, towels...all of that for our entire party. The house was spotless. Check in instructions and communication with the owners was great. My family is actually now talking about renting this out for a family weekend after hearing about it. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Tierney Beck

The Huttlinger House was built in 1908 and has been held by relatively few owners during its long history. For many years it was known locally as "the Cautin House" and was then purchased by Mrs. Luders, a pre-World War II emigrant from Germany, who established it as a guesthouse for nightly, weekly and monthly guests. Her guest register runs from the 1940's to 1953 when the house was purchased as a first home by newly-married Jerry and Anne Huttlinger. The Huttlingers continued the guest house business for several years, but this gradually tapered off as four children and numerous pets took over.
For more than seventy years, the house has remained the family home and the scene of many family events. There were social gatherings to host a variety of guests, from world-renowned musicians to circus performers. It was home to the Sports Illustrated photographers during the 1980 Olympics. The Huttlinger House embraced all within it and provided a warm and comfortable home.
The house is now jointly owned by the children who were raised here. All are settled elsewhere, but none wanted to lose the scene of so many happy memories. So we offer it to you, hoping that it will generate happy memories for your family and friends as well.
