The Otter House is a beautiful home that is the perfect blend of that cozy adirondack experience, with modern touches. It is decorated with a rustic modern style. The home's town location is convenient and walking distance to shopping and the olympic center. But, its uniqueness lies in the quiet secluded location right on the water, with beautiful water and mountain views. The town proximity with a quiet, waterfront location is a rare combination in Lake Placid! You can have it all at our house!

    The property is lovely and very well maintained. It is in a great location with easy access to town — though mostly driving to/from during the winter months. The kitchen is well stocked with supplies. We had a lovely time as an extended family staying in Kara’s home and would most definitely return!

    This home is absolutely GORGEOUS!! I've been using VRBO for years, and this was our best experience ever. The home is immaculate, and the beds are so comfy. It had all we needed for a wonderful stay. It was so close to all the places we visited and downtown Lake Placid was lovely. Thank you so much for this incredible vacation!!

    Very comfortable home in a great location, quiet neighborhood. We’ve stayed in multiple homes in Lake Placid and Wilmington over the last 8 years, and this was by far the best. The location can’t be beat. Morning coffee on the deck overlooking the peaceful river was sublime. Walking distance to town (10-15 min walk) and very close to Olympic Center. House was tastefully decorated with comfortable furniture. Go ahead and book it - you won’t regret it!

    Great house, great river access, boys loved being able to just wake up and fish and paddle board and kayak.

    The property was in a good location, close to restaurants and attractions. A second trip to Lake Placid is a must in order to do everything on our family’s list. We were able to hike, kayak, and walk the rail trail within minutes of this property. Our last evening was the 4th of July and we had a front row seat to see the fireworks right from the front porch. The only challenge was the rowdy neighbors our first weekend there. We were awakened at 2 in the morning by the group of guys having a bachelor weekend. After they left, things quieted down. There were a couple of maintenance issues, but nothing that impacted our vacation.

    We had an amazing winter vacation in Lake Placid - skiing, ice fishing and exploring the town. The house was even better than we expected with so much space for our family of 6! It was clean and comfortable, with everything we need to cook meals and relax as a family. We will definitely stay here again if we are back in the area!!

    We had a family of six (4 kids 7 and under) stay on the property and it was amazing. The house literally had everything you could want to do from a nice cooking kitchen to kayaks. We will 100% be trying to stay there again next year. Thank you to the host for having such a great property.

    We just returned from an amazing week in Lake Placid. The house was perfect— comfy, well-equipped and terrific location. It has an easy walk to town and its location on the river can’t be beat. We highly recommend!

    We had a great time at this little getaway! Close enough to walk to Lake Placid, but feels like a waterfront mountain retreat. Lots of extras: bikes, kayaks, ice machine, extra towels. The house was very clean, and the owner was very responsive when we had questions or concerns.

    The home was as described and as pictured in the VRBO listing. We enjoyed looking at the river behind the home, using the fire pit, and the home itself was roomy and clean and beautiful. It is walkable to Main Street lake placid for us / for others the high grade hill may be an issue for some. The only other issue was how hot and humid the first and second floors became during the mid morning until bedtime. It was not a particularly hot week in lake placid but we had to leave the windows open due to collection of heat inside, and the indoor air would begin to feel somewhat sticky and heavy. The basement living space did stay nice and cool the entire time as promised by the owner. Despite this, and because we were outdoors most of those hours anyways, we would still choose to stay here again.
