FABULOUS VALUE IN LAKE PLACID: GOLF, TENNIS, LAKESIDE HIKING, SKIING

We spent a week at this great condo, and I cant say enough positive. The place was spotless, with every comfort of home! Great location, with great biking and hiking, and many great restaurants in very close proximity. We had great weather, which certainly helped, and enjoyed a bunch of good restaurants on the lake(placid and Mirror) for lunch, cocktails and dinner. The Moosehead Lodge for drinks and dinner was walking distance and very reasonable. Lake Placid Lodge was pricey, for dinner, but worth it, great service and food, but even just for cocktails on the lawn and to see the inside(Maggies pub) was worth it! The Cottage on Mirror lake was a great lunch spot, and Dancing Bears roof top deck was good for the view and a late lunch(Veggie pizza was amazing)!...A little dissapointed with the Boathouse restaurant, and Generations restaurant, but the view was good at the boathouse, and people watching was good at Generations! Did a lot of biking..the people at Planet Cycle had some great maps of the area and Saranac Lake and Ironman route, so we had a lot of fun riding! Rented paddleboards from EMS and had a great time, ...$25/4 hrs...dont rent from the place at the end of the street in the back..$25 for 1 hr!! Also ate at Tail of the Pup...Good BBQ on Rt 86 heading toward Saranac..great people watching and good food too! All in all, a great week, and I would highly recommend this condo, price is a lot more reasonable than a hotel, plus it was nice to be able to cook breakfast there. Owners left dishwasher deterg, laundry deterg, which was an added plus!! Was GREAT!

My husband and I decided to make the most of Memorial weekend and get out of the city for a couple of days upstate. Margaret (the owner) was incredibly fast to respond and even gave me first refusal when another couple made enquiries into the condo.

The condo was just up the hill from Lake Placid town, set in quiet cul-de-sac, and as the advert says, walking distance from everything including the lake itself. The condo was beautifully presented, pristine, and homely without feeling cluttered. The kitchen had everything you needed, including a garlic crusher! The deck with the BBQ was ideal for our evening meals, and the wifi proved to be very useful as there was limited cell-signal.

I would recommend walking down to the Moose lodge for an evening drink overlooking the lake (we didn't eat here, but the menu looked delicious). You can also hire canoes and kayaks from here, which makes for a wonderful way to see the lake and all the gorgeous houses lining the water. The Jack-Rabbit trail takes you down to a couple of wooden piers which you can swim from. We also walked up Mount Jo, which gave us a stunning vista of the area.

This place is the ideal summer (or winter) gettaway for a couple.

What a wonderful place! Gorgeous with its moose/bear theme in pine, spacious, comfortable and restful, (after a long day of skiing), conveniently located, yet secluded. Couldn't be better! Although we were here for the outdoors, the indoors are so marvellous, one doesn't want to leave. Every imaginable comforrt has been provided for.
