Olympic Village Escape

We were primarily in town for the Ironman 2024 but decided to make it a mini vacation. Property is easy to find and within reasonable walking and biking distance to downtown Lake Placid (a bit uphill). The property is closely located to the start of the new Adirondack Rail Trail and within easy biking distance to Henry's Woods and Heaven Hill for flowy MTB, hiking, or cross-country skiing. The property part of a subdivision, has two parking spaces allocated for vehicles, and is built on a hill (be ready for wooden stairs to reach the front door, down to enter, up to exit). The structure itself has two sets of stairs, being 3 levels, with a walk-out basement to a small, covered porch and a small balcony from the living room. The kitchen is adequately appointed and includes an outdoor grill and outdoor table/chairs. Indoor dining will comfortably seat six; eight is cozy. The kitchen floor needs repair with cracked/raised wood grain tiles, a portion of which is covered with packing tape as an interim repair. Bedrooms are of comfortable size with foam mattresses. The dining room, living room and bedrooms are equipped with window air conditioning units (we visited in summer). There is a washer and dryer for use. All linens and towels were provided. We did have an issue with the door lock after about a day, but the owner responded quickly to our needs. Overall the property was comfortable and suited our needs for the stay.

My friend and I used this as a base to do some hiking in the High Peaks. The place was clean and very comfortable. The owners were very responsive and easy to communicate with. Downtown Lake Placid is not a far walk and had plenty of restaurants and shops. Highly recommend!

Perfect place

Upon arrival we were not impressed with the constant oder of maple syrup in the kitchen and dining rooms despite washing table and kitchen floors. Small water leakage in the half bath throughout our stay made using it an inconvenience. However, owner sent a plumber to investigate and fix if possible. The workman said it was condensation and not waste. The grill was unusable due to age and decaying parts. The owner had a brand new grill installed the next day which we appreciated as we grill often. There was only one tv. Water drained very slow in the bathtub shower causing a water build up and sloshing in several inches of water. Overall stay was good along with great location.
