About this property

Amazing Sunsets and Views 3 Minutes Outside Lake Placid

This 1800 sq ft home was built by my father in the late 60's. Both of my parents have passed away and after a bad experience renting it long term, my husband, kids and myself decided to gut it right out to the outer walls and start over again. It has been over a two year process. We finished it Saturday, March 2nd, 2024 It is located 5 miles from the trail heads to many of the Adirondack High Peaks. It also only a 3 minute drive from Lake Placid. It faces the west and is a sunset heaven. It also has awesome views of the Adirondacks from the bottom of the driveway. This property sleeps 6 and that number includes children and infants. Sorry, no pets.

Lake Placid reminded us of old memories and created new. If you’re thinking of coming to this area, this property is outstanding. The home is warm and welcoming and updated in every way. The outdoor porch deck was enjoyed morning, noon and night. Highly recommend this property.

Cozy Cabin

The cabin is classic Adirondack and provided lots of space for for us to spread out and relax. The location is perfect for hikers whom wish to be at the “hub” of numerous trails yet only a short drive to Lake Placid where we had the choice of many good restaurants to grab a hearty meal to recharge our batteries after a day of hiking.

Great stay!!!

Loved this cabin!! It was so beautiful and rustic. Charming all around! Close to many places for hiking and watching the sunset on the LOJ road right next to the cabin. There was road noise but that did not take away from the experience! Thank you so much for the lovely stay!

Ideal except road noise

This cabin is a charming rebuild of a local restaurant from many years ago. Loved the over -the -top rustic decor, beds, couches,etc. only gripe is the frequent road noise from the very close highway. This was not a problem at night during sleep hours but made it less pleasant to be outside. The location was generally good because there are things to do in all directions. Super easy and recommend with the noise caveat.

Charming and roomy

Great central location to high peak attractions. Rustic and charming. The house was huge for our family of four so we could spread out- which was especially nice when eating most meals in due to covid. We had everything we could need there. We especially enjoyed sitting by the wood burning stove on cold nights and all the historical charm of the old building. The only down side is it’s close to the road but you get used to the sound of cars going by. We liked it so much we hope to stay there again someday.

About the host

Hosted by Carol T Hoffman

Host profile image
Have lived in Lake Placid all my life. I own a bed and breakfast inside the village. When my work load lets up, I like to hike or ski and a good book is a great way to relax.

Why they chose this property

The property this house sits on have been in my family since 1866. I lived inside Lake Placid until I was 15 when we moved into this house. I love coming out of my driveway and seeing the different moods of the mountains and the sunsets.

What makes this property unique

The area is very quiet, beautiful and as i have mentioned above you can never get enough of the sunsets. Plus even though it is 3 miles out of town it is not that far from all the local activities.
