A TWO-MINUTE WALK TO MAIN STREET
The house sits 200 meters from the shops, restaurants, and cafes of Lake Placid's Main Street — close enough to walk to dinner, the Olympic Center, or the Mirror Lake shoreline without moving your car. The Mirror Lake public beach is about a 6-minute drive, Whiteface Mountain is under 20 minutes, and High Falls Gorge is roughly 13 minutes out.
That location makes this an easy base for a Whiteface ski week, an Ironman training group, an Olympic-venue weekend, or a family reunion where nobody wants to split across hotel rooms.
A PIECE OF LAKE PLACID HISTORY
Built at the turn of the century on land once owned by the Stevens brothers — Lake Placid's first hoteliers — this Colonial Revival home carries details you don't find in new construction: maple hardwood floors laid by George Stevens himself, Roman Doric columns, hand-carved beams in the living room ceiling, a servants' bell call system, a larder off the kitchen, and built-ins throughout. The 2021 renovation kept all of it while adding the comforts of a modern home.
THE BEDROOMS
Each bedroom has its own name and character, and every one has a new mattress and a flat-screen TV.
The Wilmington Room, the primary suite, has a King bed, decorative stone fireplace, hardwood floors, handcrafted furniture, and large windows.
The Victoria Room and Brookside Room pair vintage finishes with modern furniture; both have Queen beds.
The Empire Room is a cozy, light-filled space, and the Look Out Below Room features classic accent pieces, high-end linens, and vintage furniture.
The Coyote Cut Room upstairs sleeps four — a Queen and two Twins — with original hardwood floors, a plush area rug, locally inspired artwork, and a blend of metal, wood, and earthy elements.
The sunroom office doubles as a sleeping space, with a couch that pulls out to a queen bed.
THE KITCHEN AND DINING
The kitchen features hardwood floors, granite countertops, custom cabinets, and a layout built for cooking with a crowd. It's stocked with everything you'd want: coffee maker, blender, toaster, spice rack, gourmet knife set, wine glasses, and a dedicated wine bar with a wine cooler and specialty tableware.
The dining room is wrapped in windows and fills with afternoon light, with room for 10 or more around one table — whether that's takeout from down the street or a full family-style meal. A sunny breakfast nook off the kitchen seats four, perfect before a morning hike or for cards at the end of the day.
LIVING SPACES
The living room combines earthy tones, leather furniture, vintage armchairs, original hardwood floors, and a wood-burning central fireplace. The sunroom looks out over the backyard and works as a quiet office if you're mixing work with the trip.
Downstairs, the basement is a full family rec room — ping pong, poker table, lounge furniture, books, movies, board games, and a flat-screen TV. It's where everyone ends up.
THE GROUNDS
The house sits on a large lot with mountain views in the distance, surrounded by mature shade trees, with multiple patio and deck spaces, a BBQ, and a big backyard. Neighborhood parks and hiking trails are close by.
WHAT GUESTS SAY
"Beautiful home with so much old world charm. Proximity to Main Street was ideal for our visit." — Aris
"Perfect for our group of ski racers with the proximity to Whiteface and walkable to downtown for after ski activities." — Jennifer

Short-term rental permit: STR-300080
Located in Hillcrest, a neighborhood in Lake Placid, this vacation home is in the mountains and on a lake. Whiteface Mountain and Jackrabbit Trail are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those looking for area attractions can visit Lake Placid Center for the Arts and Lake Placid Winter Olympic Museum. Traveling with kids? Consider Boots and Birdies, or check out an event or a game at Olympic Center. Take in the nearby slopes with cross-country skiing and snowboarding, or check out other outdoor activities such as sledding and ice skating.
