The house was really nice, very clean, and exactly as described. The view of the river was gorgeous and also kayaking and canoeing in it was a fun afternoon activity.
The kitchen was comfortable to cook in which we did every night. We watched a movie on the big tv screen in the lower level den. We enjoyed the fire pit as well.
Basically we had a great time using the house and everything it had to offer, not just for its access to the Adirondacks.
We did plan to walk into town (around half an hour). However, even though we saw other pedestrians, most of the way was on a narrow shoulder - not a sidewalk. Also, the area surrounding Otter House’s development was a bit depressed.
The owner/manager was phenomenal. She was quick to respond, and addressed all of our questions- big and small. She made using the house very easy and pleasant.
We would definitely recommend the house!

My family enjoyed our trip to Lake Placid! The property was beautiful, with many amenities - canoe, kayaks, fire pit, and grill. The house was also very conveniently located within walking distance to town. Our host was also very communicative and the check-in process was easy. We will definitely be visiting again!

My family of eight could not be more pleased with our stay (July 9-15, 2022). The home is gorgeous, it's close to the center of town, and there is a ton to do in and around the home. Most of us know the experience of "It looked different online." This was quite the opposite; it was even better in-person. All of us "oohed" and "aahed" for the first hour of our vacation, before enjoying a memory-filled vacation in Lake Placid. Thank you!

We very much enjoyed our stay. It had plenty of room for nine of us. It is close enough to all the many things to do. The property feels pretty secluded to feel like your on a river by yourselves. Thanks for the memories.

We stayed here while our son participated in Ironman 2022 in July. The location is perfect. The house is big, beautiful and very comfortable. Great kitchen. We stayed a week and cooked in some nights. Grilled on the beautiful deck overlooking the river. Hope to go back again one day!

Beautiful large home with gorgeous water views.
Perfect private retreat for our family of 7 to relax and use as a base for local adventuring. The home is very spacious, has super comfortable sleeping arrangements and nice touches like games and puzzles for entertaining, kayaks for enjoying the river and a large fire pit for s’mores. A perfect home away from home.

The house was exactly like the pictures showed. There was plenty of room for the 7 adults that stayed at the house. It was very well stocked for eating in and close enough to town to walk for dinner. The river was great for kayaking and was close to public access on Lake Placid with beautiful mountains as a background when on the lake. The place is close to great hiking hills with wonderful mountain views.

House was perfect for couples getaway. Kitchen had everything you could need to cook, but house was close enough to DT if you wanted to eat out. Private river access made easy for kayaking/canoing.

Lake Placid Vacation
The Otter House was a great place to stay for a family vacation to Lake Placid. The house has everything you need for an enjoyable stay away from home, from the fully stocked kitchen to the use of the 2 kayaks and the canoe for water activities off the dock. Each night was spent relaxing making smore's around the fire pit and enjoying a night under the Adirondack stars. Owner is great with communication, couldn't be happier with our stay.

Fantastic House & Location
We stayed here for a week in late July, 2020. We had an absolute blast. The house is absolutely gorgeous inside - the pictures don't do it justice. The backyard and path down to the dock are equally impressive - the stonework is just incredible. The watercraft available - two kayaks and one canoe were easy to get from the garage to the river and we paddled almost every day. The dock is also nice for sitting and relaxing. The location of the house is great - it's about a 5-6 minute drive to the main street on mirror lake where all the great restaurants and shops are. We would definitely stay here again!

Peaceful beauty outside, extraordinary comfort inside
We enjoyed the well-furnished cozy home as well as the peaceful setting by the river. Slept well in the luxurious bedrooms, enjoyed sitting on the deck and by the river. Had fun kayaking and just relaxing together. Would definitely come back if given the chance!
