About this house rental
An iconic Adirondack cottage located on Mirror Lake with its own boathouse and only a 2 block walk to the village of Lake Placid NY. This idyllic cottage with a stream stone wood-burning fireplace has amazing views of Mirror Lake and the Southern Adirondack range mountains. The boathouse has an upstairs sitting room with deck, a dock right on the shores of Mirror Lake, and includes canoes, kayaks, and SUPs for your use.

Snowshoe Cottage is the epitome of Adirondack atmosphere combining old world charm with modern convenience, original beadboard and wood fir floors with new Adirondack style furnishings. This cozy cottage can accommodate six people in style. It is perfect for a romantic getaway or your next family vacation.
You will have full access to the home (except for the garage) as well as the boathouse and dock.
We are always available by phone or email if you have a question or concern. We also have a caretaker nearby who is available in case of problem with the home.
Snowshoe Cottage is the perfect home away from home from which to experience all that Lake Placid and the High Peaks Region has to offer. From hiking to biking, spa time to wine and beer tastings, there is something for everyone.
Snowshoe Cottage is walking distance to the Village of Lake Placid. Also within walking distance are several hiking trails. There is also a trolley system in town.
Please note that the cottage itself is not directly on the water. There are water views from the lakeside rooms of the cottage but there is another house situated so that we do not get completely unobstructed views. The boathouse is, of course, directly on the water with splendid views of Mirror Lake.
This is a cottage dating back to 1906. It has all the modern-day amenities that you would hope for, but it is a cottage which by definition means a small house.

Snowshoe is perfection. The cottage is immaculate, organized, and beautifully curated. We enjoyed a peaceful respite from our busy days at the horse show. Coffee never tasted as good and sleeping in the mountain air is always such a treat. Michelle and Mark thought of everything. We loved the take away blanket and left a bag of our favorite coffee behind. It shares the same name as our beloved and recently passed Golden Retriever, Huck.

Smallish older house with modern upgrades (baths, kitchen, etc.) Quiet location easy walking distance to town. Very close to but not quite on the lake, with great view lines to the lake. Boathouse, which contains canoes and kayaks, etc., is right on the lake and has a finished and furnished upstairs with wi-fi that we used as an office. House is well maintained and furnished with a lot of thought and care. Comes with every toy - from kayaks, canoes and bicycles to puzzles, books and games. Owner was very communicative and obviously takes a lot of pride in the place. Highly recommend for one or two couples or a small family.

Snowshoe Cottage provides every amenity you need to have a relaxing and fun experience vacation. The setting is beautiful and the included boathouse was one of the best features. We canoed, kayaked and paddle boarded on lovely mirror lake. A short walk to town, restaurants and shops have lots to explore.

We very much enjoyed our stay however found the information a bit misleading. The house is right on the street while there is a walk down a side strip of property between two houses leading to the boat house. Put simply : a great location given close proximity to town, it's obvious the owners have done a great job creating a comfortable cottage feel and the boat house is very nice but do not envision a house on the lake : it's not. The boat house has a small dock and a small balcony that allow for lake viewing. Very nice but same price as others we looked at that were right on the water.
