About this property

Peace on Mill Pond. Easy walk to Town.

Waterfront 3BR house with beautiful wood interior. 100 year old house completely renovated inside & out, has comfortable adirondack decor and lots of windows. 3BR sleeps 6 adults + futon sofa sleeps 2 more. Full kitchen opens onto dining room and huge living room. Fantastic views of the pond from your sofa or the backyard. Two sets of sofas so the kids can play on their computers while the adults relax. Bathroom downstairs has a large gorgeous shower with a glass block wall and a sauna.

Pond (shallow entry on our side) is perfect for kayaks, canoe or stand up paddle boards (provided).

Three bedrooms upstairs means everyone has privacy: one queen bed, one double bed, one bedroom with one full and one twin size bed. Washer / dryer in upstairs bathroom.
Very large mudroom for storing life jackets, snow shoes, skis etc. Plenty of parking off the street for 3 cars.
Enjoy a cup of coffee on the dock or take the kayaks or the canoe out for a ride in the summer.
Easy walk to downtown Lake Placid to enjoy shopping or nightlife. Easy 10-15 minute walk to the Olympic center or Lake Placid beach. The walk is up hill on the way into town and down hill on the way home!

Great location. Everyone loved the view of the pond. We enjoyed the kayaking and campfires. Property is well maintained inside and out. We had 4 adults and 2 young children. There is a playground within walking distance. The walk to town was not too far but a bit more uphill than expected.

First 4th of July in Lake Placid

The house was wonderful. Looked exactly like the pictures. We didnt get out on the pond because we had to climb mountains instead. I wish we had better firewood, the stuff we bought would not burn. Love the giant beanbag chairs. I fell asleep in one. The whole group loved the house. Cant wait for our next visit. We would definitely stay here again. Easy to get to and close to everything!!
Saying goodbye was tough.
Skip-Bo night. Guys against girls. We won of course.

About the host

Hosted by Terry Vellone & Bridget DeGroot

Host profile image
We have kids and love outdoor activities! Placid is the perfect place for us. We started running a few years ago and ran our first half marathon in Lake Placid last year. It was incredible!! The views were beautiful and the climb up the last hill to the Olympic oval for the final lap was well worth it.

Why they chose this property

Lake Placid is a great place to vacation any time of year. Excellent winter sports with an amazing Olympic spirit, fun summer activities and great hiking all year round. Downtown Lake Placid has shops, restaurants, a movie theatre, night time ice skating, and a beach on Mirror Lake for swimming in the summer, plus fun bars and dancing. There are plenty of activities for kids and adults, you never run out of things to do!

What makes this property unique

Our house is on Mill Pond. You can walk into town for dinner or shopping. The kids can walk to the movie theatre in town, or a bowling alley close to the house. The pond is beautiful and peaceful. Lots of waterfowl, watch the ducks from the dock, do a little fishing with the kids or go out for a ride in the canoe or kayaks. The town has a beach on Mirror Lake and this is walking distance as well. In the winter go snowshoeing, skiing or sledding all nearby.
