About Doug Calvey
My wife and I are both from large families who gather several times per year. We designed High Peaks House with group entertainment and flexible sleeping to create a fun and comfortable reunion. We enjoy skiing, hiking, kayaking and love the High Peak scenery.
Doug Calvey purchased this House in 2013
Why Doug Calvey chose Hillcrest
Hillcrest is a quaint old-fashioned neighborhood in downtown Lake Placid. You can walk to the Olympic Arena, the public beach on Mirror Lake. Kids as well as adults can walk downtown to shop, walk around Mirror Lake or go to the Palace movie theater. There are lovely views of the mountains and glimpses of Mirror Lake.
What makes this House unique
Large groups and family can celebrate anniversaries, birthdays and special occasions dining together with seating for over 24. The kitchen is set up to feed a crowd with two ovens, two dishwashers and servingware for 24. Family and friends can play volley ball, pool, poker, ping pong or just relax around fireplace.

Great place
Beautiful, spacious house. Well appointed, very clean, everything is as advertised. Owners and caretakers made sure we were well-taken care of and provided prompt, friendly communication. I rent about a dozen houses per year of this type for my job and this experience was as good as it gets!
Family Get Away
Beautiful house!! We had 4 families with a total of 18 people so much room. The pool table was a favorite.
McGhee Family Reunion at High Peaks House
This was quite possibly the best family time together ever. Every single detail was attended to...I could not recommend a more wonderful place for a gathering such as ours. Space for everyone of all ages....close access to walking, biking, hiking, golfing, restaurants, shops...it was truly a wonderful experience! Thanks so much Donna and Doug, we will be back!
Great house

ADK Family vacation
This house gave us room to spread out. The mud room kept all the clutter in one place, the kitchen has everything you might need and is very organized, easy 2 block walk to into town. The beds are comfortable and the rooms have black out blinds. We would all stay again!
Thanks for being such a great coordinator for your large family reunion!
