We loved our stay!

Bear Cottage was so cosy and comfortable, we had a relaxing stay. There are lots of beautiful trials nearby and Whiteface mountain is a 15min drive. Its a short walk to the town and some very nice restaurants. Highly recommend!

The Coziest Cabin EVER!!!!

If you are looking for a winter getaway, the Bear's Cottage at Mirror Lake is PERFECT! The pictures dont do this cozy cabin any justice as it is SPECTACULAR in person! (I really wanted to move in!) The details of this farmhouse chic Lake Placid vacay look right out of a magazine! Pam & Jim are just the sweetest hosts, giving recommendations for dinner & activities and their personal touches go above & beyond. The conveience of the cabin to downtown Lake Placid made for an enjoyable walk daily around Mirror Lake. There's so much to do here and just outside of town. And if it snows, just take a drive to enjoy the beautiful scenery!!! I can't wait to go back!!!

Another lovely ADK vacation at the Bear's Cottage!

The Bear's Cottage was literally better than ever! The hosts made a few upgrades that were so seamless that we didn't even notice they were new! This was our first time visiting in the fall and, oh my, was it a treat! Even our dogs enjoying running and playing on the property. We are really looking forward to another fun and rejuvenating stay here in 2024!

Absolute Gem

The Bear was incredible! Super clean and every detail was thought of. In fact I dare anyone to think of something that Pam and Jim haven’t thought of. It won’t happen. Great location very close to town either way around the lake. Just a perfect getaway. Thank you Pam and Jim.

Woodland Chic

Fairytale cottage in the woods with complete privacy, an absolute gem. The space is well appointed, clean and as charming and beautiful as the pictures on-line. The location provides easy access to all activities in the Lake Placid area. Easy walk to town along the waterfront.

About the host

Hosted by Pam Clyde-Davis

Pam and Jim have owned commercial real estate for 25+ years. They have resided in Lake Placid since the late 90's and have owned and resided on the property on Mirror Lake Drive that the Bear's Cottage sits on since 2003. They thoroughly enjoy meeting and hosting the guests acting as their concierge in helping them to have a memorable visit during their stay in Lake Placid and the surrounding Adirondacks.

Why they chose this property

The Bear's Cottage provides luxuries and a 5 Star, first class accommodations that most top flight hotels used to supply pre-COVID. The Cottage is in a secluded, solitary living environment in a park-like setting and a short walk along Mirror Lake drive to the Village center of Lake Placid.

What makes this property unique

On occasional Saturday nights throughout the summer from June into September we host singer/songwriters from around the country to play in our backyard amphitheater like-setting to sing and tell their stories behind the songs that they have written. Many of these songwriters are from Nashville and have written #1 or top of the chart hits and/or have opened for top artists while they are touring. This is an opportunity to be in an intimate setting up close and personal with these artists.
