The White House is located on Glen Road in the Hamlet of Jay, NY, just 17 miles from Lake Placid. The house is a great base location for many activities. Swim near the Jay Covered Bridge, in Wilmington or in Lake Placid. You can shop in quaint stores in Lake Placid. There is also a wonderful craft store offering the talents of local artists and a unique Alpaca Shoppe in Jay. The Olympic Center, Whiteface Mountain (great view especially in the good weather) and Santa's Village at the North Pole (just 10 minutes away) and the Au Sable Chasm are must-see sites. Biking, canoeing, kayaking, skiing, ski jumps, horseback riding, concerts in the park and, local theaters are just some of your entertainment options. Hikers come back year after year to visit the many mountainous trails. Lake George's Million Dollar Beach, Six Flags & a Water Park are just a day trip away. Canada is also just a day trip from here. There is a lot to do and see - rain or shine!
