Very nice property off the street just a couple blocks from the Olympic speed skating oval and the ice arenas. We drove to the World Cup ski jump in town while we were there. Everything was excellent. The snow was plowed a couple times during our stay.

Walkable winter oasis
This is a sweet, spacious ground floor apartment on the chub river. 2 big bedrooms, a large living room and full size dining room great for playing games. The kitchen was easy to cook in and the one bathroom was large and updated. A five minute walk downtown and 10-15 minute drive to the Olympic sites. Great for skiing at whiteface too. Highly Recommend!

wonderful and cozy stay
We had a great time at Lake Placid. The Apartment is close to the city, quiet, direct access to a pond and for us just a 15min drive to the White Face Ski Resort. Perfect location for our need. The Apartment is well equipped with everything what you need, the rooms are great and perfect for a family of 4. The landlord was very nice and communicated very well. You felt immediately at home. Thank you again and we will be back. Highly recommended when you want to go sking.

Great spot for a young family
We stayed here with our 4 young boys for five days and felt right at home. This unit had all the amenities of home while also providing a beautiful landscape for little boy adventures with the dock/kayak and “duck island.” Easy 2 mins to ride to town. Owner is very kind and responsive. We’d love to stay again!

Not Quite What We Expected
The pictures of the full house are somewhat misleading, it is a ground floor apartment with people living above (hardly noticeable). The pictures make it look like a large outside space but not exactly the case. There was construction next door so there was unexpected noise but that's not permanent. Very close to town and lacrosse fields. Overall it was fine, small for 4 people but we weren't "home" much. There are enough beds for 6 to sleep but not enough space to relax/watch tv comfortably unless people sit at the dining table. No local TV that we could figure out for weather, etc but there was TV service for streaming. Property managers were very quick and responsive.

Hiking Trip
The location was perfect for our 3 day stay with our family. The property was close to the village in Lake Placid, has access to Mill Pond. Our son enjoyed the properties Kayak. Was a perfect spot for our family and pups to stay on our hiking trip. Owner was easy to get a hold of. Had large kitchen and large dining area for the 6 of us. Very convenient to grocery stores- within 6 minutes. Yard was large with a fire pit and wooded area down by the dock on the pond.

Perfect spot, convenient to it all!
Overall good stay. The location of the property is perfect. Quiet spot off the Main Street, with a nice back yard and a shaded dock on the pond. The house has a tenant upstairs, but they were not noticed heard during our family’s stay. The kitchen is a bit dated, but functional enough for a short stay.

Great Spot!
We loved our stay! The apartment was clean. The beds were comfortable, and the entire floor plan was accommodating. The washer/ dryer were so convenient! We loved being able to step right in the back and having access to a canoe and a kayak- even got to see some otters on one of the rows. It's perfect walking distance to Mirror Lake and and easy drive into town. We already want to go back!

one of our best rentals ever
This apartment is very tastefully decorated, well equipped, and a joy to rent. The beds are comfortable with super soft sheets. It is cozy without being cramped, although six people would be a bit much. We were only three. There is plenty of closet and storage space. The tub/shower has plenty of hot water. The towels are very large and soft. It is quiet being off the street and feels quite private. Although it is on the river, trees block most of the view of the river. The owners are quick to respond to any emails and return phone calls promptly. I met Eric and hi is very nice. The location is excellent as it is just a few blocks from the center of town but is in a quiet, residential neighborhood. Everything is on one floor and it would be a good choice for the mobility impaired as there are no steps to get into the apartment. We had no problems whatsoever and would probably stay here again if we returned to Lake Placid.

Major Let Down
Overall we were very excited to stay at this property based on what we read on the posting, but upon arrival and throughout the week were very let down. We spent the first couple hours cleaning cob webs, killing spiders and bugs. We gave the place a chance from there but woke up with spider bites. The front door and back sliding glass door both did not lock effectively. The owner’s response was not to worry because it was a safe neighborhood but when in a unknown neighborhood it’s hard to just take someone’s word for it. We experienced exposed wires coming out of two of the walls, the Adirondack chairs on the deck were sun rotted and falling apart, sliding glass door track had standing water, window screens were missing, and all the internal doors did not close properly. We contacted VRBO and the owner with pictures and videos of everything. Owner sent a few people in to take a look, but after one person left the front door wide open for hours while we were out of the unit, we requested no one else return without us present for safety reasons. Unfortunately at that point the owner blamed all the issues on us not allowing him access after that point and VRBO closed the case with no resolution. We just hope to allow others the truth about our stay for them to utilize in their future decisions. Needless to say our excitement for a relaxing vacation in Lake Placid ended up being a significant disappointment with this property.

About the host

Host profile image
As a North Easterner and after spending Eight years living in Thailand, my Thai wife and I moved to Lake Placid.
I've travelled the World as an Airline Pilot and Lake Placid has it all! Great year round activities for the Family.

Why they chose this property

We live here part time now, the location is great for its easy access to Main Street, the Olympic center, skiing, fishing, hiking and restaurants.

What makes this property unique

We are so close to everything that we like to do yet this property is secluded enough for enjoying the quiet Adirondack outdoors. When you are sitting on the dock or by the fire in the evening one really wouldn't believe you are 10 minute walk to Main Street!
