Modern ski retreat near Mirror Lake and Main St with Whiteface view, aka HEAVEN.
About this house rental
Welcome! We are thrilled to open our hearts and family home to you (STR permit 200169). Whether you're coming to Lake Placid to ski, skate, bag some 46ers, train on the Ironman course, race IMLP, explore our Olympic history or just want to relax, we hope you'll stay in our modernized historic home, steps from Mirror Lake and all the best bars, restaurants and shops on Main Street. You'll find us at the top of the hill just behind the movie theater in the center of town. You can practically smell the homemade turnovers and scones at Bluesberry Bakery from our front porch. Mirror Lake is just down the hill. The Olympic Center and Olympic Oval are within walking distance. The Olympic Ski Jumping Complex and Lake Placid Horse Show Grounds are a 5 minute drive (or very short run/ride). Whiteface Ski Resort is a 15 minute drive. Whiteface Peak is visible from our front porch and all the bedrooms in the front of the house. Once you see that magical, ever-changing view, you might never leave! Which is totally OK, as long as you renew your rental contract. : ) We have plenty of space for everyone in your crew — 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, game room with foosball and darts, playroom with air hockey, knee hockey and lots of children's toys, games and books, basement with separate entry for protected storage for all your stuff, an enclosed back patio with a brand new salt water hot tub and 5 off-street parking spaces. We have flatscreens in all of the bedroom rooms, hi-speed WiFi throughout the house and Fire Sticks for all your streaming needs. But we hope you'll spend most of your time outside, exploring everything the Adirondacks have to offer. Each floor has its own full bath with shower, vanity, towels, hairdryer and bath products. Life's too short for drama or cheap shampoo. The main floor features a spacious dining room, fully stocked gourmet kitchen with brand new (2023) Café appliances with everything you could hope to have for cooking and entertaining, living room with stone fireplace, TV and enough seating for your whole group, game room with darts, foosball and a bar with a popcorn maker, full bath, laundry room, newly constructed bedroom (FIRESIDE: 2 Double Beds) and access to the bike/gear room in the basement. The enclosed back patio is the perfect, private oasis. It features a propane grill, large dining table and additional outdoor seating, and a (2022) salt water hot tub. We encourage you to eat every meal possible out on the deck. (Just don't eat or drink in the hot tub, please.) Our covered front porch is the perfect spot for sipping drinks while watching the sunset, or for watching a summer storm roll over the peaks. If you have kids, you've hit the rental property jackpot — there's a huge public park and playground directly across from our house with one of the best sledding hills in town. It's easy to keep an eye on your kids playing over there while enjoying those aforementioned drinks from the front steps — one of the many reasons we knew we had to own this home. The second floor features 4 bedrooms and 1 full bath. Each bedroom has a flatscreen TV and WiFi: WHITEFACE: King Bed TIPS UP: 2 Double Beds SNOWSHOE: 1 Queen, 1 Double CASCADE: King Bed The third floor features another full bath and a playroom, equipped with air hockey, knee hockey, Thomas the Train and his many, many friends, books, toys, games and a flat screen TV — just in case Thomas loses his appeal. To add to the family friendliness of our home, we offer a pack-and-play travel crib, infant tub, high chair and dishes for kids. The ground floor entry to the basement offers secure, dry, temperature-controlled storage for all your bikes, skis, boots, wetsuits and assorted gear, as well as a new (2023) boot/gear dryer. Foam roller, yoga mat, resistance bands and jump rope are located in the front hall closet. Private, off-street parking for 5 cars is available in front of the house. We love pets and we bet yours is adorbs, but we'll have to settle for seeing them on Instagram and not in our home. Similarly, we have an aversion to tobacco/smoking and large groups looking to party. Sorry, brah. This is a family home. If you're hosting a bachelor or bachelorette party, we wish you all the best, but we are not the property for you. Nature has the power to change you and whomever you come here with — we hope you'll let it! Stay with us, and fully experience everything the Adirondacks have to offer. We can't wait to hear about all of your adventures!

The house was spacious with a long list of desirable amenities for a larger group. Julie, the host, was great at communicating throughout our stay. The location was a quick uphill walk from Main Street but very accessible to all Lake Placid has to offer. Overall, a great experience and would highly recommend.

We had a lovely time at Julie and Josh's home. Everything was clean, beautiful and cozy for a relaxing vacation. Our friends and family loved the location and all of the personal touches that made a house a home. Thank you!

We gathered as a family coming from Eastern Canada and Northeastern USA. It was a perfect setting for our gathering. The home had all of the amenities we were looking for in a home for us all. It met the needs of everyone including those of a teenager and a toddler. Lots of sleeping space (bonus that there was a pack n play and mattress that we didn't have to bring with us), playroom, games room, hot tub, fireplace and great cooking kitchen. Added bonus was that it was decorated for Xmas with a Xmas tree. We loved that surprise bonus. Made it so festive for our gathering. We cooked in and ate out in a few wonderful spots in town. Wonderful proximity to the main street with restaurants and shops. Would definitely consider renting this property again in the future for another family gathering or visit to LP with other friends/families. Thank you Josh and Julie!

Unfortunately, we didn’t have the best weather to enjoy the great outdoors, but this place allowed us to still have fun with a large group indoors. The hot tub, game room, large dining table, and living room with woodburning fireplace served as gathering spots at home while the rain kept coming down outside! We also appreciated the three full baths and laundry to dry our wet clothes! Thank you!

The house is wonderful! The beds were very comfortable and there was a lot of space for all the guests. Easy walk to town and the walk around Mirror Lake was very pretty. Julie was great to communicate with and really went out of her way to help me locate a sitter for one of the wedding guests whose sitter canceled. Overall I would highly recommend this place for a family gathering.

We had a great weekend in this beautiful home! Comfortably slept 12 of us and we enjoyed all the living space and hot tub. Enjoyed cooking in the kitchen with everything you need and nice appliances! The walk to downtown was doable, but it is very hilly, just a warning as some of our guests had a hard time with that.

We had a wonderful week once again in beautiful Lake Placid. The house was perfect for our group. We walked everywhere and the kids loved the playground just across the street. The host was incredibly kind and thoughtful. We can't say enough good things about our visit. Thank you for helping me create cherished memories with friends and family!

Our family had an amazing stay here with plenty of room to spread out in the house during Ironman week. The hot tub was perfect to relax in before and after our race. Julie and Josh were amazing hosts with thoughtful touches around the house during our stay. Communication was perfect during the stay, and the one issue we had with thw door lock was solved immediately, making our stay that much easier. Would stay here again with our family anytime!

We had a terrific trip to Lake Placid, and Julie is just a wonderful host! Communication pre-check in and throughout the trip was seamless. She included lots of information not only about the house, but about activities to do around Lake Placid tailored to the ages of the kids in our group. She was responsive immediately with any questions we had. The house is spotless, thoughtfully decorated, and had everything we could have needed. Its location is perfect, and we easily walked into town every day. Thanks for a great stay!

We had a lovely time at Julies property. It was just as the photos showed...actually better!
Beds were really comfortable and though we had a rainy weekend, that didn't stop us from enjoying the house and local activities. The hot tub and game room were used everyday. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and ideal for a large group that was cooking most meals.
Being close to town was wonderful for being able to dip out when the rain let up. And the Cliffside Coaster and Olympic jumping complex were a short drive away and worth the trip!
I highly recommend staying here!

This house was the perfect size for our 3 families. It provides a great mix of group space and personal space, and the accommodations made us feel right at home. From game nights to group dinners, we had everything we needed for a long weekend getaway. Location was key, as we enjoyed walking to town multiple times, and it was central to all of our activities. We had a great time!

We LOVE this place! A total of 3 families, 12 people total, experienced this beautiful home in Lake Placid. The communication with Julie was kind and clear, the house was cozy and clean, and our stay was both rejuvenating and relaxing - exactly what we had hoped for during a hockey tournament weekend. This place was curated to perfectly, from the decor to the hot tub and fireplace. Thank you for helping make our trip to Lake Placid spectacular!

Great Property
The house was big enough for our large group of 12 people, and was comfortable for a weeklong stay. Good location for getting around in Lake Placid. Julie was great to work with and helped us with some special considerations for our stay.

Fantastic Trip
Fantastic trip all around. The house itself was perfect for our needs and the location was spot on. Easy walk to Main Street and all it has to offer. Everyone in our party loved the house and everything it had to offer. Julie was a pleasure to work with through the booking process and even provided us a list of activities which would be well suited for our young children. There was more than enough room and the common areas were perfect for hanging out or eating our meals. Would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Lake Placid.

This house was great as were the home owners! The house itself was clean, warm and cozy with a well equipped kitchen and great family room with fireplace to gather after a day of skiing. The house is located just a short walk to town where there’s lots of cute stores and restaurants. Staying here we got to enjoy the town (the teenagers enjoyed being able to walk to town on their own!) and Whiteface mountain is just a short drive away. The home owners were very responsive before and during our stay! They went above and beyond providing recommendations and tending to our family’s needs for a great trip. Would definitely recommend. Our family had a fun and memorable trip!

Great Ski Getaway
This house is a great location. We were able to walk into town for shopping and dinner. It was only a short drive to White Face. The house was very clean and provided a great atmosphere to relax in after a cold day on the mountain. The owners were great before, during, and after our stay. We will be back soon.
