Peace on Mill Pond. Easy walk to Town.

Waterfront 3BR house with beautiful wood interior. 100 year old house completely renovated inside & out, has comfortable adirondack decor and lots of windows. 3BR sleeps 6 adults + futon sofa sleeps 2 more. Full kitchen opens onto dining room and huge living room. Fantastic views of the pond from your sofa or the backyard. Two sets of sofas so the kids can play on their computers while the adults relax. Bathroom downstairs has a large gorgeous shower with a glass block wall and a sauna.

Pond (shallow entry on our side) is perfect for kayaks, canoe or stand up paddle boards (provided).

Three bedrooms upstairs means everyone has privacy: one queen bed, one double bed, one bedroom with one full and one twin size bed. Washer / dryer in upstairs bathroom.
Very large mudroom for storing life jackets, snow shoes, skis etc. Plenty of parking off the street for 3 cars.
Enjoy a cup of coffee on the dock or take the kayaks or the canoe out for a ride in the summer.
Easy walk to downtown Lake Placid to enjoy shopping or nightlife. Easy 10-15 minute walk to the Olympic center or Lake Placid beach. The walk is up hill on the way into town and down hill on the way home!

Great location. Everyone loved the view of the pond. We enjoyed the kayaking and campfires. Property is well maintained inside and out. We had 4 adults and 2 young children. There is a playground within walking distance. The walk to town was not too far but a bit more uphill than expected.

First 4th of July in Lake Placid

The house was wonderful. Looked exactly like the pictures. We didnt get out on the pond because we had to climb mountains instead. I wish we had better firewood, the stuff we bought would not burn. Love the giant beanbag chairs. I fell asleep in one. The whole group loved the house. Cant wait for our next visit. We would definitely stay here again. Easy to get to and close to everything!!
Saying goodbye was tough.
Skip-Bo night. Guys against girls. We won of course.

Wonderful property close to town

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was cozy and well-appointed. The location was great, within walking distance to town and within easy driving distance of great hiking. The kayaks and SUP were fun and the sauna a special treat. We would definitely stay again!

Great Family get away

3 generations under 1 roof! Great place for grandparents, parents, and kids to stay. Paddling on Mill pond on the provided watercraft was really fun. The sauna was lovely. House was a short walk to downtown Lake Placid.

A Pleasant Surprise

We celebrated a 40th anniversary with our kids here and couldn't have been happier with our stay. The beds were comfy, the kitchen well equipped, the living room large and loungy, and the sauna an added bonus. We didn't have time to try the watercraft but they looked great. We liked everything about the place.

Great house and great location

Overall a great place to stay and a great location. The house has been renovated and is bright and airy. One suggestion I have (which is why I gave it 4 stars) is that the stairs did not have a railing. For safety I suggest you add.

Great location, fun place to stay. Easy.

Great location, beautiful view, we enjoyed the pond and kayaking, and the gardens! Raspberries were ripe - what a treat. Downstairs was spacious and comfortable. Bedrooms are small but fully adequate and all have cross breeze. Wish I had known the fridge and oven are not full size - would have adjusted my plans a bit. Outside Grill worked great. Communication with owner was positive and responsive. Overall a positive experience and we would stay here again.

Family with kids

Thank you Bridget and Terry for having us. We had a great time at your house, which is well kept and equipped. Peaceful and beautiful views of laguna. We loved fishing, playing crochet or just relaxing around the fireplace. Weather was a bit cold so sauna was a big plus. We’d love staying here next year.

Cozy Stay At Lake Placid

Property was nice and clean, had a great time using the paddleboard. Definitely recommend the sauna after a day of hiking and activities. For kitchen enthusiasts, there is a hidden vent hood over the stove. Glorious. You can walk to town but they werent kidding when they said it was an uphill climb.

Great location and amenities! Loved our stay!

We had a great stay in Lake Placid. The house was clean and ready for our arrival, with all the relevant information easily accessible. We loved having the kayaks and being able to use them right from the house. We enjoyed using the fire pit and the sauna throughout our stay. We easily walked to town for shopping and dinners. The house and grounds were well-maintained with beautiful flower beds. Bridget and Terry did a great job providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Thank you!

Great place to stay in Lake Placid

The accommodations were outstanding. Everything was included and we didn't need to bring anything. A bit off the beaten path, but, somewhat walkable distance to the downtown main street. Perfect fit for our family of 6. The thing that sold us was that we were on the pond and had the use of 3 kayaks a canoe and paddle board all outside our door. Could also sip coffee on the dock in the morning. Beautiful views. Will be back next summer.

Relaxing end to the summer

We had a fantastic time in Lake Placid. The kids had plenty to do in a safe environment. They spent a lot of time running around the front yard, fishing off the dock, and of course, playing with the nerf guns. We took evening trips out on the river with the kayaks that were provided at the house. The fire pit was also a hit at night. It was clean, had everything we needed, and was big enough to give us space as necessary. All in all, a great place to stay.

Wonderful time, everything you could want, very peaceful

Everything you could want in a vacation home with a very good location. Our family had a wonderful time in this home. Everything you need is here. There were plenty of paddle boards, kayaks and boats to keep everyone in our family happy as well as many outdoor games, a fire pit, and beautiful scenery. We have 4 kids and they were all entertained for the entire stay. Walking to town was about a half mile walk and you are in a great location. The house was very clean and the kitchen was very well stocked with pans, waffle maker, fondue pot, etc... I would highly recommend this property if you are thinking of staying in Lake Placid.
