Spend down time in this luxury downtown five bedroom historic old Shore Crest Retreat, a newly renovated turn of the 19th century off Main Street residence, once the home to Olympic participants. A stone's throw away from Main Street and Mirror Lake, this spacious and very private rental offers all the amenities that an ideally situated downtown location can offer without the hustle and bustle of Main Street.

From its large sitting room with original stone fireplace and wood paneling, walk out on its grand porch to lake and mountain views, July’s fireworks celebration and show almost in your lap, access to restaurants, shopping, and free shuttle service to must-see destinations. The Olympic Arena, Convention Center, ice skating rink, local movie theater, and public beach are within immediate walking distance of this, your rental. Ironman competition and participation couldn’t be any more convenient. Just one hundred feet from your front door to Main Street, catch the free Mountain Valley Shuttle Service for skiers and riders to Whiteface Mountain and ski resort.
Free weekly concerts all summer (see photo of Rusted Root performing) at the band shell in Mid's Park are right there for your pleasure from the comfortable vantage point of our veranda.

Renovations to and remodeling of this vintage home were completed in June of 2011. Each bedroom suite is fitted with its own full sized tiled bathroom and multiple sleeping accommodations. The master bedroom suite also has an additional small room with trundle sofa bed and a screened in sleeping porch overlooking Mirror Lake, Mount Marcy and the distant mountain range. This stately grand home is tastefully decorated with antique and Mission style lighting, hardwood floors, ample closet and storage space, an open living and connecting dining room, a fully equipped eat in kitchen with cherry cabinets, maple butcher block counter tops, high tech appliances, all tiled showers, and a laundry room with a washer and dryer. Simply and tastefully furnished with oriental rugs and antique furniture, this comfortably fitted home with all its amenities also offers convenient and ample off street parking. This mainstream Main Street home affords you the ability to park your vehicle for the duration of your stay unless you were to drive the fifteen minutes to Whiteface Mountain or other nearby attractions. Its attached one bedroom apartment (VRBO #652809) can also be rented separately or with the Main house to sleep an additional 4 guests.

Come visit in this unique situation and quaint setting in the heart of downtown Lake Placid, a great getaway for up to 14 people and newly built for your comfort, convenience and enjoyment. Location, Location, Location!

    We stayed at this property from Dec 28th through Jan 2nd. The house was just beautiful and the proximity to Main Street cannot be beat. We would not hesitate to rent this home again. The owner was extremely accomodating and communication was great.

    Great location & amazing property. 6 adults and 4 small children fit very comfortably. We cooked all of our meals in the home. Kitchen and amenities were great. We enjoyed the balcony at night looking out onto the lake. Very accessible to in town activities I.e. kayaking on the lake, public beach, restaurants and shops. Absolutely recommend!

    Our family stayed during the Ironman competition and it was the perfect location. We were able to walk to every event. The house is perfect in that every bedroom has its own bathroom. Being a family of 10 there was more than enough room for all. The kitchen stove can be a bit challenging and the bath tub needs a stopping. Otherwise, the house is perfect. We loved having morning coffee and enjoying evenings on the deck.

    We had a group of 10 staying at the house. There was truly so much space, linens were very clean, and the house was even larger than it seemed in the photos. Our experience communicating with the host was great - she was easy to reach and even helped us out by making sure the neighbors car wasn’t in our way. The stay was amazing - you truly cannot get a better location if visiting Lake Placid. The house is right in the middle of the main strip on Mirror Lake. I would love to make this trip again with family.

    We had an absolutely wonderful time during our stay in Lake Placid! The location couldn’t have been better – nestled right in the heart of this charming mountain town, we were just a short walk from the lake, local shops, and great dining options. Waking up to the peaceful surroundings and stunning views of the Adirondacks made our trip feel like a true retreat from the hustle and bustle.The cozy accommodations added so much to our experience. The space was warm, inviting, and well-equipped with everything we needed to feel at home. After days spent exploring the scenic trails and enjoying outdoor activities, it was a pleasure to return to such a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.We highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a blend of adventure and tranquility. The combination of a prime location and cozy charm made our Lake Placid stay unforgettable. We’ll definitely be back!

    We had a great time staying at Madeleine's property. The house was spotless when we arrived and we didn't encounter any problems during our stay. The location is great as well since we could walk everywhere.

    Each year my family of seven adults and our young granddaughter go to Lake Placid the day after Thanksgiving and stay the weekend. We chose Shore Crest this year and I’m so glad we did! The home is just beautiful and the views are breathtaking! It was clean and large enough for all of us. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and thermostat. The location cannot be beat either! It is only steps away from all the restaurants, shopping, and beauty of downtown. We already plan to return next year! The owners and house manager were great and very attentive, though we had no issues. Thanks so much for a wonderful weekend! We look forward to next year!

    We absolutely loved our stay! The house was even better in person with views that were absolutely stunning from the front porch. With a group of friends, each of us has a comfy bedroom with attached bathroom which was incredibly convenient. We were also right down town which made it so easy to walk around mirror lake and stop for a coffee or bite to eat. We can’t say enough good things about this property and will absolutely book again!

    I’ve been making yearly trips up to lake placid for over ten years. This home is beyond the best overall experience I’ve had. Location, house size, bedrooms everything was perfect. I could not leave a review without mentioning the oversized porch with chairs and tables. Enjoying your meals with views of the lake is priceless …ten stars

    Our group of nine adults had one of the best weekends we can recall at Shore Crest. The house itself is sprawling (the pictures don't capture just how spacious it is) yet warm and inviting. The living room and dining area welcome games, hang outs, music and big dinners with ease. Comfy couches and club chairs and plenty of classics movies on VHS make for a fun movie night, and ample outdoor seating makes the porch the perfect overflow area. Each room is well appointed and the beds feel homey. Bathrooms are clean and bright with prompt hot water and great pressure. The kitchen has ample matching dishware and a large fridge. Plenty of luxury items can be found tucked away in the drawers too; citrus juicers and meat thermometers to name a few. The addition of a propane grill made dinner prep a breeze, even for large meals with several courses. The house is ideally located, with all the local attractions within a short walk yet removed enough to keep any main street din at bay. We also used the house as a base camp for some High Peaks hikes, and found that some of the best adventures were just a short drive away. Throw in blazing fast WiFi and an incredibly friendly and accommodating host, and you have a rare find in the heart of the Adirondacks. 100% will return.
