About this property

TOP RATED SKI LODGE / HOT TUB / MOUNTAIN VIEWS

This gorgeous Lake Placid area house rental has everything from a new oversized hot tub to spectacular views of Whiteface Mountain and the surrounding mountain range. Located in Wilmington, this spacious ski lodge is quaint and cozy with enough for larger groups of family and friends. The house features over 4000 sq feet of luxury living and includes three master suites, two stone fireplaces and a location just 3 miles to Whiteface ski area and 12 miles to the Village of Lake Placid and all of the famous Winter Olympic sites including the Miracle on Ice hockey arena, the ski jumps, and the Olympic and World Cup bobsled track at Mount Van Hoevenberg.

Designed with larger groups in mind, the house has a Great Room with a wood burning stone fireplace and walls of windows looking out to Whiteface Mountain. The dining area seats 12 and has more spectacular views. The modern kitchen is fully equipped and there is an oversized "boot room" which will accommodate boots, parkas and all your gear until your next trip out to the slopes.

There are three master bedrooms with en suite baths - one King and two Queens. The King has a beautiful stone fireplace. One Queen has a Jacuzzi tub, the other has a sitting area with another stunning view to Whiteface. The lower level offers two more bedrooms - one with two twin beds and the other with two sets of bunk beds - and a full bath.

There is a large Rec Room with a satellite TV, a game table and various board games. The laundry room has two washers and two dryers.

Outside there are large porches, front and back, including a screened rear porch with a gas grill, a picnic table and a sun deck. There is a firepit to enjoy in the evenings.

The house sits on a seven acre property adjacent to over 200 acres of Forever Wild land with miles of private trails available for hiking, snow shoeing or cross country skiing. Walk to the West Branch Ausable River or take a short drive to Lake Placid to fish, kayak or canoe. The beach and picnic facilities at Lake Everest are just three minutes away.

Satellite TV with DVD, wireless internet and unlimited local and long distance service keep you in touch if you like.

At just 90 miles from Montreal, 250 miles from Boston, and 275 miles from New York City you can easily enjoy the beauty and quiet of life in the wilderness of Adirondack Park's six million secluded acres.

Guest Comments:

"We had a great time staying in your beautiful, comfortable home. We really enjoyed the amazing beds. They were great after a day full of skiing! The fireplace was awesome! The kids really enjoyed the rec room and bunkbeds!" - Rutherford, NJ

"What a beautiful home you have. It was truly like our home away from home. It far exceeded our expectation. We have made some wonderful memories for our annual ski vacation." - Toronto, Canada

"We had a great time at your awesome home. It was more than my expectations. Pictures don't do it justice. The weather was great and with the leaves changing made it even more magnificent. We saw deer, turkey and a coyote in the meadow. It was a trip we will certainly cherish. I look forward to returning soon." - Lenhartsville, PA

Best house we have stayed in in this region.
This is a great house and great property, big and private and the view is beautiful . Everything is very clean. We all loved the big mudroom in the entryway to drop our wet stuff. The fireplace inside was very cozy. The whole house is cozy. My only recommendation is to consider a queen/king bed in the basement as right now there are two twin beds and two bunk beds, which is great for kids, but not so great for adults/ couples. We will definitely book again.

We had a great stay at this beautiful cabin! It was tucked away and private, but still very close to all the activities we had planned. There was plenty of space for our group of 8 and we would highly recommend this to any large group!

Very nice winter getaway
It's the second time we rent this cottage for the winter schoolbreak and it's perfect for our group of three families. Nice view of Whiteface from the spa, big table for dining and playing board games, very good linen for sleeping. The house was sparkling clean and well furnished. The very big mud room is pretty convenient.

Wonderful!
This property made for the perfect winter weekend getaway for my girlfriends and I! It had more than enough space for 10 of us, had a great layout and was very clean. We wish the hot tub was bigger, because if only fit about 3-4 people at a time, but other than that it was perfect!

This house was plenty big enough for our group of eleven.Six adults, 12yr old triplets and 6yr old twins. We had a great time. My husbands siblings all live with-in an hours drive and we were able to all get together for the first time in several years. Fun time was had with many remembering the good old days.

Spectacular mountain views
Beautiful, spacious home on a gorgeous property. The lower level was ideal for our grand kids to hang out. Screened porch, fire pit, hot tub, large dining table, frolicking deer in the yard ...all made it an ideal place for our family of 11 to get together for our once a year reunion! Easy drive to Lake Placid.

Great house
We had stayed at this house almost 13 years ago with our extended family so when we were looking for a place to stay in this area we knew that it was a wonderful house with lots of room for our immediate (but expanding) family :). The hot tub was a big hit as well as many chess matches, foose ball competitions and games around the table.

About the host

Hosted by Rich and Heidi Howard

Host profile image
We are upstate New York residents by choice, and love the Adirondack Park! Heidi grew up overseas, living in both Germany and Guam, while Rich was raised in the hills of Eastern Kentucky. Heidi is an alumnus of Gettysburg College, and Rich attended the University of Kentucky for his undergraduate degree, then did graduate work at the Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce, the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, and Johns Hopkins University.

Why they chose this property

Our family is very close, and we wanted a place suitable for large family gatherings located in an area known for outdoor recreation. We knew this home was right for us as soon as we saw it, combining a beautiful meadow, views of Whiteface Mountain, an extensive trail system through the woods behind the house, the Ausable River close to hear from the front porch, and easy access to the Whiteface Mountain ski center.

What makes this property unique

This home is ideal as a serene escape from the rigors of busy lives, an accommodating rendezvous for large family gatherings, or as a comfortable base camp to explore the Adirondacks. The hot tub offers solace after the rigors of skiing an Olympic mountain, hiking one of the '46ers', fly fishing in a renowned stretch of trout habitat, or simply enjoying the company of family and friends in the sheltered peace of this beautiful property.
