About this property

Camp Balsam on Lake Placid | 6 Bed, 5.5 Bath

Enjoy a luxurious Adirondack waterfront vacation at Camp Balsam, regally perched along the shoreline of magnificent Lake Placid!  This home offers visitors the ultimate private get-away with unmatched elegance and style, complete with every comfort and amenity you can imagine including an elevator, radiant in-floor heat for chillier months and rarely offered air conditioning for the warmer summer months!

Enter this sprawling property to a large driveway with plenty of parking space and a lovely stone patio welcoming you into a large foyer with seating. The great room is complete with comfortable seating and the gourmet chef's eat-in kitchen has all the appliances and dishware you need to “dine at home”. If you prefer to dine more formally, there is a large table in the spacious dining room and there is both a den and a comfortable bar area that beckons those seeking a little down time. The 6 large bedrooms are all en-suite to offer maximum privacy and comfort and this lovely home has plenty of space for everyone to gather or to spread out and find a quiet nook to relax.

The pool room with 20 x 40 foot heated indoor pool, lounge chairs and hot-tub or the fully equipped gym present the perfect workout opportunities and the sauna is great for a relaxing steam bath. Step outside to an enormous deck with gorgeous panoramic lake and mountain views with covered areas from multiple upper floor balconies that offer outdoor comfort in any weather! Spend time basking in the sun, dining outdoors or indulging in some fun yard games on the sweeping lawn while gazing on the beauty of the lake and mesmerizing evening sunsets. You are sure to want to spend time enjoying all of the many comforts this great retreat offers, but you will also be situated just a few minutes drive away from the center of the Olympic Village with restaurants, public Skating Oval, Arenas, Ski Jumps, Horse Show grounds, restaurants, shopping galore and the Whiteface Mountain Ski Center is only about a 15-20 minute drive away. There are hiking trails and a dam accessed from the Peninsula Road that sit within a short walking distance away from the front door of Camp Balsam along with several more sporting opportunities in the areas surrounding you.

Plan your next vacation in Lake Placid at Camp Balsam nestled in the heart of the Adirondacks among the High Peaks for the vacation of a lifetime!

Lovely

We love the area and the house was nice. The beds were awesome and the kitchen was just like mine at home so I was stoked!!! The new boat house with the sun deck is a huge selling point! Would recommend this place to anyone who wants a nice place to stay and a fabulous boat house with sundeck.
