From the moment we walked in, the Brookside Cabin was warm, welcoming, and cozy. We instantly relaxed and settled in. Cheryl and her team made sure the cabin was clean, stocked, and that we had everything we needed. We highly recommend the Brookside if you want to get away from the stress of it all! We're already booked for next year!

We had a great stay at the Brookside Cabin this past weekend. The cabin was beautiful and made for a perfectly wintry getaway, especially with the fireplace keeping that cozy winter vibe. Everything was very clean, and the entire complex was quiet, well maintained, and relaxing. The location was ideal, close to Main Street in Lake Placid. Check in was super smooth and easy. If you’re considering a trip to Lake Placid, I would definitely recommend staying at Brookside Cabin.

Our Thanksgiving stay at Cheryl’s beautiful Brookside Cabin was absolutely wonderful. The cozy vibe and peaceful setting was exactly what we were hoping for. Although her place looks lovely in the pictures, they do not do it justice. It’s even more lovely in person! It’s very clean, well appointed and well stocked. We hope to visit again!

There are not enough words to explain how wonderful this experience was- but my 11 year old summed it up by day 2 on our stay and said "mom, it feels like home". This is our 3rd stay at Brookside and it won't be our last! Spotless always, lighting in each room is adjustable and lots of them - heat in all rooms adjustable, kitchen has everything you need. Fireplace burns wood and there is plenty of it! Soaking tub in master bath with a view of the brook. TV in both bedrooms. Library with chairs and blankets perfect for reading or napping! Washer dryer too-so we packed a bit lighter this time :) Good memories were made!

This cabin was a very short walk to a beautiful lake and just a few minutes drive from all that downtown Lake Placid has to offer. We loved the spacious rooms and aesthetics; everything was beautiful and well appointed. Nothing better than a cozy fire in the evening followed by a bubble bath in the large tub. Plenty of space for four, and we enjoyed how quickly we could get to all the hiking spots in and around Lake Placid. Would definitely stay here again, and give this place two big thumbs up.

What a great trip we had in Lake Placid. The house was great and the location was beautiful. Very close to the lake with a nice front deck and covered porch at the front as well. It was also just a few minutes from town and stores. Very short walk to a marina for boat tours and kayaking and small swimming area at the lake. HIGHLY recommend!

Beautiful house! Just as pictured, spacious and bright, we really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is perfect, large enough and well stocked for cooking meals or perfect just for quick coffee and breakfast. Very close to several grocery/specialty food stores. Great location in Lake Placid region for all the outdoor activities, and close to the town of Lake Placid for restaurants and shopping. We had dinner one night at the Moose Lodge Boat House, super convenient 2-minute walk, spectacular view of the lake and mountains.

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl Drevitch

Host profile image
I am a resident and native of Staten Island, NY. I am 3rd generation in a family business that was started by my grandfather in 1929 after he immigrated to the US. Back in those days he created every block by hand. We currently specialize in mason and building materials. I have been renting Brookside for 25 years and have done many improvements over the years. My tenants are extremely pleased and I have many returning renters. I take pride in giving each tenant complete attention and strive to help them have the best vacation possible.

Why they chose this property

I’d like to tell you about my first experience as a potential buyer of Brookside. I arrived during the night and settled into the cozy cabin with no knowledge of the spectacular impressions I would receive the next morning. I awoke to the beautiful sounds of the babbling brook, which I hadn’t heard when I first arrived. I then went outside to the gorgeous wrap around deck I looked at the beautiful Whiteface Mountain and the picturesque Lake Placid while drinking my morning coffee. As I relaxed next to a warm fire I immediately fell in love. Following my lovely morning I explored the area and saw nature at its best. Just 5 minutes away I enjoyed the cozy village of Lake Placid where I antiqued, shopped at boutiques, dined on the lake and enjoyed a fifty cent popcorn at the historic cinema. I decided then and there this was the place and the property for me.

What makes this property unique

On a Brook with Best views of Mountains and Lakes!
