Walk to Town, Fire Pit, Hot Tub, Grand Open Family Room, Gourmet Kitchen, Grill

If you are looking for a private escape to enjoy all the outdoor recreation that the beautiful Adirondack Mountains and Lakes have to offer, but want the convenience of being in the heart of the historic Lake Placid village, you have found your match!

Highland Loj is a unique home tucked away on a high hill overlooking the village of Lake Placid with filtered views of Whiteface Mountain and Mirror Lake and views of Cascade and Big Slide from the dining room side windows. It has the feel of living in a tree house! Although very private, it is only a few minutes walk to Main St., which boasts many outstanding restaurants, shops, and a multi-theater movie house. You will also enjoy Olympic History at your doorstep. For hockey fans and ice skaters, you are only two blocks from the 'Miracle on Ice' arena and four blocks from the ice rink where Eric Heiden won his gold!

In the winter, enjoy riding the bobsled, skiing the cross-country trails at the Olympic center on Mt. Van Hoevenberg, or skiing the Olympic downhill and Super G trails at Whiteface Mountain. In the summer, the Mirror Lake beach is only a short walk away; world-class hiking, rock climbing, fishing and other lake activities like paddle boarding on Mirror Lake, as are world class guides and gear.

In addition to privacy, the mountain/lake view and having the best location for Lake Placid entertainment, Highland Loj is a lovely “home away from home” for your family and friends. As previous reviewers have said, it has great charm and a “WOW Factor”. The layout of the home provides the ability to be together in the large open cathedral ceiling great room, but also gives your family and friends their own space in the three floor layout of the bedrooms and bathrooms.

Adjoined to this large family area, the gourmet kitchen has a Wolf Range, Asko dishwasher, granite countertops and is fully equipped with cookware and dish-ware. On the main level, there are also two comfy window seats available to take in the views and a large deck to enjoy the outdoors. There is plenty of seating with a wood burning fireplace, flat screen TV, premier cable, blu-ray player, and high speed internet. A bedroom and en-suite bath completes this level with a king-sized bed and private deck.

You enter the home on the lower level, which has an attractive entryway for all your boots and jackets. There is a bedroom with a queen bed and a bunk bed which has a full-sized bottom bunk adjoining another family room with another flat screen TV, premier cable, blu-ray player and a classic mini Nintendo system. In addition, there is a full bath with natural slate floor and shower, a game room with a foosball table, a laundry room, a deck with a 6 person hot tub to enjoy. In the backyard, there is also a lean-to and fire-pit.

The upper level provides two more bedrooms. The master bedroom boasts a king-size bed, en-suite tumbled marble and limestone bath, a private deck with mountain and lake views, and a sleeping loft. The second bedroom has an en-suite tumbled marble bath with a queen-size bed. You will find our mattresses and furnishing all more than comfortable. There are a/c units on the main level and upper bedrooms for the summer months. You can be sure that all bedding is sanitized on a regular basis and we are taking proper COVID-19 safety cleaning measures.

The Adirondacks are, without a doubt, the premier mountain experience in the Northeast! Highland Loj provides the full package for this experience. You will not be disappointed!

Beautiful Lake Placid Home
We can't say enough good things about this home. The location was perfect...you can walk everywhere. The house was clean, well stocked and beds were very comfortable. It is definitely on the top of the list of any places we have stayed since making our annual trip to Lake Placid in the past 24 years.

Third time renters
This is the third time we’ve rented this property and it was perfect as always. We love the Adirondack vibe and love that there is enough space to gather but also enough space to be separate. The kitchen is probably the best stocked kitchen I’ve ever seen.

Wedding
First time to the area for our sons wedding. Was the perfect house for family to gather and we had room for the bride and groom and parties to get ready without seeing each other! It was a fantastic time and the house is in a great location to take advantage of a lot of touristy things as well

Girls Weekend in ADK
Stayed at the Highland Loj for a family girls weekend filled with hiking and spending time together at the house. Wonderful amenities like the hot tub and extremely spacious- with 8 people we felt there was still room to spread out. 5 minute walk to town down Marcy Rd. Would definitely recommend this property to those looking for a relaxing get away in Lake Placid, and would stay here again.

This property was perfect for our annual girls trip! Open living/dining area and so many beds. We walked to town both nights for dinner and drinks. Space was clean and the hot tub was a nice bonus. Don’t even think about renting first week in March each year because we will be back!

Wonderful stay. Fun ski weekend
We had a wonderful stay and were visiting for a ski weekend. I would definitely stay again. The location is very convenient. The home is large, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The inside of the home was very clean and well enough maintained. The hot tub was a little smelly and needed to be cleaned, unfortunately. We cooked two dinners in the house. The kitchen is a good size and is well equipped. Oddly, the oven includes a thermometer that simply measures “warm” or “hot”, but without any actual numbers. Next time, I’ll bring a leave-in thermometer.

Dream Home
What a gorgeous, warm and welcoming place to stay! We rented the house for the IRONMAN 70.3 weekend and it's minutes away from the main town (and race start if you are doing an event). The four bedrooms, with four bathrooms, gave everyone their own space and privacy. The kitchen is high end. The living room, with window seats and a real fireplace (wood included), is the most peaceful place to relax. The outside deck and BBQ are great for social time - as is the outdoor fire pit (although I wished it was real. It is electric). And don't get me started on the hot tub. What a treat! It was like we had a spa weekend even as we worked out. I highly recommend this home for your stay in Lake Placid. Food wise - check out SMOKE SIGNALS, and get a reservation at JIMMY'S 21 (as for a window seat overlooking the lake!) The food and beer at BIG SLIDE BREWERY were also worth the trip. Enjoy!

Wonderful Place
Great location, beautiful property, wonderful host. Walk to everything in town. The kitchen and dining and living areas are all open and we spent most of our time at the house in these areas - great for dinner parties and conversation. Same goes for the fire pit - very cozy in the early Fall evenings. The house was very clean and well-kept. We highly recommend Highland Loj.

Good times in Lake Placid
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Lake Placid. The house was lovely and just what you would want in the Adirondacks. It is well kept up and has a nice kitchen, dining room and family room. It is walking distance to many stores and restaurants which is very convenient.

We Loved this home!
We truly enjoyed our stay in this home! It is was clean, secure, welcoming, the kitchen was outstanding, the grill was perfect, the deck, fire pit, and hot tub, rounded out the perfect vacation rental. The housekeeper was professional and was there when we arrived. She helped us with fixing connections with the lower level TV! I forgot to leave her a tip that I regret!! The only complaint that we had was the temperature in the main level bedroom but that was only for one night and it was very hot that weekend.. We would definitely rent this home again! Very close to downtown. Thank you for allowing our family to stay in your home!
