IRONMAN LAKE PLACID

The McKinley House is an ideal home base for IRONMAN Lake Placid, located just a short walk from the Olympic Oval, Main Street, Mirror Lake, and race festivities.

Please note that due to the exceptionally high demand for IRONMAN weekend, reservations for these dates are non-refundable. Most athletes and their families reserve accommodations many months, and often more than a year, in advance. As a result, cancellations closer to the event can be very difficult to rebook.

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to help protect your trip investment in the event of an unexpected illness, injury, or other covered circumstances.



IMPORTANT NOTE

A separate third-floor studio apartment is occupied and has its own completely private entrance.

Guests have exclusive use of the first and second floors, deck, screened porch, yard, fire pit, and all outdoor living areas. No indoor or outdoor spaces are shared.

Snow plow was pulling out as we pulled up. Perfect timing! The house was warm and welcoming, lots of information, beautiful decorations. Every thing you could need was provided, coffee and creamers, hot chocolate, snacks. All pots, pans, utensils, ski rack, high chair. It was like walking into your favorite aunts house. We all loved it and will be back it is perfectly located to Olympic rink and downtown.

We had a wonderful stay at the McKinley House. The location was perfect, walking distance to everything. The house was very clean and better equipped than any other house we have rented. I would definitely stay here again!

Stayed with a friend to do some cross country skiing and hiking. The home was clean and comfortable. Location was very conveniently located to the town center. The host was extremely accommodating and went above and beyond. We asked about the grill (Which was put away for the winter) and the host not only came over to make it available for us, but then took another trip to replace the propane tank when it was missing a gasket.
