Property is centrally located to most of the regions activities with most activities requiring only a short drive or walk in some cases.
In the winter you are only 20 minutes from Whiteface Mountain, consistently rated as one of the east coasts premier ski resorts. A short drive to downtown Lake Placid puts you in the middle of outstanding shopping, dining, and you can even ice skate on the Olympic Speed Skating oval that was used during the 1980 Winter Olympics.
During the summer, the property is located a short drive from several great day hikes including Mt Van Hovenberg and most of the other 46 High Peaks of the Adirondack region. Also the legendary trout waters of the Ausable River are only located within a 10 minute drive on either direction. If lake fishing is more of your thing, both Mirror Lake and Lake Placid are just on the other side of downtown, with boat rentals available on Lake Placid or canoe rentals through several shops in town.
The property is centrally located for most of the summer's big events. It's located only a few miles from the show grounds for the Lake Placid Horse Show (late June) and the I Love NY Horse Show (early July). It's also just off the course of the Lake Placid Ironman Triathlon in late July. Just a short walk from the house to the intersection with Cascade Road and you can watch the athletes on both the bicycle and run legs of the race pass by.
Finally, when you want to get away from all of the activity and just relax, the house is located in a quiet neighborhood with minimal traffic. It's the best of both worlds: more than close enough to any activity in the region but far enough away from the main roads that you almost feel secluded.
