This unique Lake Placid, Adirondack style home was built in 1915 as a year round home for a well-to-do family and shows it in the detail and quality of construction. Over the years it has been thoughtfully maintained and upgraded, while retaining virtually all of the original charm of a house of that era. As with many homes built in the early 1900's, it has many little nooks and cranies where you can grab some quiet time with a good book. It was purpose built to be a large comfortable Adirondack home for a large family and still is.

Details such as beautiful wood railings, built in book cases, a beamed ceiling in dining and living rooms and even skeleton key locks that work on many doors are all part of the experience. At the same time, upgrades, such as a new large master bath, enclosed wrap around rear porch with bay window, and granite kitchen counters have expanded the living area and comfort of this home. Your favorite quiet breakfast spot will be in a corner of that porch surrounded by windows. The deck with Adirondack style railing and the large (accommodates 6) spa you step into right off the deck is another favorite spot of our guests.

The location (one short block from the center of town - short walk to everything) is ideal for large groups and families in particular. At least a dozen restaurants, many shops, movie theater, Olympic skating arena, Mirror Lake and more are literally within a five minute walk. The kids can have as much freedom as you wish. The beautiful Lake Placid Resort golf course (45 holes with an outstanding links layout) is a three minute drive and great tee times are always available. Likewise, Whiteface ski area, Olympic ski jumping, bobsledding, and cross country venues are all within 10-15 minutes.

A fully equipped kitchen, woodstove in living room (wood supplied by us), five televisions, two VCR's, DVD, and wireless internet access make this a house ready to enjoy. Parking for 5 - 6 cars in our driveway and garage.

We have a caretaker in town who maintains the house and hot tub. He is also available to resolve any problems that may arise with the house.

A security camera located on our garage monitors the driveway.

    Perfect family home for our family ski weekend. Welcoming and cozy. Large enough to gather together and yet there were some spots to sit back and relax. The Owner and Caretaker were helpful and quick to respond to any of our questions.

    Great and as advertised! This house is very spacious and rustic, and very walkable to downtown. We loved the hot tub and the large driveway for all of us to park.

    Actually I had to call for some ice melt. The driveway was an awful mess and hard to drive up. We had to do considerable shoveling. There were no paper towels(not really a problem) but the drip coffee maker was NG. The Mr. Coffee needs to be replaced. The house was amazing, beautiful big rooms and plenty of space. The walk to Main Street was perfect. Despite the problem with the driveway the weekend was wonderful.

    Bob was lightening fast communicator. His house was loacated perfectly for our friends ski trip. It comfortably fit 6 adults and 6 kids. The hot tub out back was a great foninsh for a day on the slopes. Walking distance to down town lake placid dining and shops. Loved our stay.

    We loved the house and location! It was so beautiful inside with so many original details and charm. It was a perfect size for our large group and we never had any issues with room to hang out or use of a bathroom! The location was absolutely perfect. Right downtown. My only issue would be with the dampness of the home. My father in law has asthma and had some trouble until we opened all of the windows to air out the house. Would just suggest maybe airing out the house before guests arrive? A better dehumidifier system would go a long way to solve this issue! But really that is a small complaint for an otherwise fabulous house. Would stay again!

    House is great but would recommend a couple things. Need new bedding and towels. House is old but really cozy and handled our crowd well. Also would recommend a little more in kitchen bath supplies or state they are not covered. Overall great lication and great experience for us

    This is our second Thanksgiving staying in this wonderful house. It is in a perfect location to access shopping, restaurants, and any outdoor activities you might be interested in. There is also plenty of space, we are a family of 10 and never feel crowded. I highly recommend.

    Hillcrest was a great space to host our multi-generational family. The house is a bit rustic and can use some repairs but the space and location were great.

    This was a great place for us! Super convenient, comfortable, lots of space for gathering but also easy to get away if you need peace and quiet. Bob was very responsive, although we really didn't need anything -- everything was ready for us. Would definitely stay there again.
