About this house rental

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!

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.

The house was exactly as advertised. It was beautiful, clean, and well appointed. It met all of our needs and then some. Every one of our family members throughly enjoyed the house and all it had to offer. I would stay here again and recommend this house.

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.

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.

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.
