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.

5.0 / 5.0
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.
4.0 / 5.0
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.

I'd give this 10/10 if I could. Perfect house, perfect location. Clean, updated and well maintained.

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.
5.0 / 5.0
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.

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

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.
5.0 / 5.0
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!

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 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!

Great stay!
Property is amazing! Pictures don't do it justice! I've stayed at many vacation rentals and this was by far the cleanest property I've seen. Only issue we ran into was with the parking and we chalked that up to the amount of snow. You won't be disappointed!

A Little Piece of Heaven
The entire process of booking was easy, and the house is AMAZING! We had absolutely no problems at all. They gave excellent instructions about what to do when checking out, etc. House is also fully stocked with kitchen items, a grill, hot tub, and fire pit. We had plenty enough room for everyone! We will most certainly look into this rental again, but for longer! Thank you for an amazing stay!

Ladies weekend and hiking trip.
This property was amazing!! We had 10 ladies and had plenty of space for hanging out and comfortable bedrooms with well appointed bathrooms. The house was very clean and supplied plenty of towels and linens. The hot tub was perfect after hiking and we enjoyed the fire pit too. Would definitely stay here again if it is available!!

Perfect getaway
The pictures on this listing don’t do it justice- what a beautiful house!! Went for a weekend away with some friends and we had an absolute blast! Has everything you could ask for- perfect location, hot tub, spacious, and views. Even though there are other houses around it still feels so secluded. We liked the house so much we barely left- just ordered take out and cooked. Had the best time and hope to be back, whether in the summer or for another winter trip next year!

AMAZING!!!
My husband and I are first responders and just wanted some time away with our kids to reconnect during the chaos of our lives right now. We had such a wonderful time at this beautiful house. The pictures don't do it justice. The house is clean, mattresses are so comfortable, there are large areas that everyone can hang out together in, and the view is like being in a tree house. The hot tub and fire pit are also very nice to have. We are so grateful that you shared your little slice of heaven with us. I was so sad when we had to leave. My kids are already asking when we can go back. We also loved the town of Lake Placid. Everyone was so nice and I felt very safe in terms of Covid. We truly had a magical time all made amazing by your amazing house. Sara was such a great person to deal with and I wish you guys well. Hopefully we will be back someday!!!!

End of Summer Get Away 2020
This property is beautiful with a spacious household. It did not feel like we were on top of one another but cozy enough that we were all close with one another. We were all able to walk 3 minutes down the hill right into town, (even in the rain), which was so awesome! Because we did not need to try and find parking especially on Saturday when the town had more people in it. We also liked feeling safe in the comforts of our own place while COVID-19 is still around. We even felt safe while walking up and down main street in close proximity to people with masks on.

Highland Loj is a great house in the perfect location.l to enjoy all that Lake Placid has to offer.
We spent a 4-day weekend in Lake Placid and needed a home base for hiking, golfing, exploring. This was a great spot and the owners are very communicative. Would definitely rent again.

Great place, excellent location, great amenities
We really enjoyed our stay at the Hillcrest location. We were one of two families staying at the location. There was ample room with plenty of indoor and outdoor space to spend time. Beds were all great sizes, extremely comfortable with high quality mattresses and plush toppers.Walking to town was as easy as it gets and we were centrally located which was a perk as well. Everything was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked, and the air conditioning was a huge bonus. Plenty of space in the great room to relax, board games to play, and plenty of linens and cleaning supplies on hand. Easy access to the place with a keypad lock, a very nice grill to use, and plenty of deck furniture to accommodate our group. Unfortunately, a full 5 star rating was not given. This has nothing to do with the location or what was offered by the listing. During our stay the "property manager" showed up without notice, walked into the house without being let in, and did not even identify himself or his company. I would normally disregard ignorant property managers, but this person stated he did not have the renters information to discuss stopping by to address an "ongoing issue" with the stove. The owner was contacted and unaware of this issue. The owner was very upset and responded accordingly, but this is an unacceptable event that created an uncomfortable environment for my family and friends family. We also, had people, unannounced, prior to this wandering around in the back/side yard to evaluate the drainage of the septic system, per the people in the back yard. The two events created concerns that I felt needed to be addressed. Again, these events were absolutely no fault of the owners who were very responsive to the situation once notified and extremely kind and apologetic, even calling us again to follow up on the issues.
We would absolutely stay at their lovely home again in the future and highly recommend the house. We visit Lake Placid annually and this is by far the best home we have stayed in to date.

Lake Placid Winter Stay
The property was great for our winter skiing holiday for our family of 8 (with one grandchild). The location was walkable to town.
We enjoyed the fabulous accommodations; great communal area for us all. We really enjoyed the hot tub after skiing.
(PS: You have to do the bob sled run at the Olympic Park!)
Whenever there was an issue with the facilities, the caretaker/owner response was super quick and resolved.

Perfect Lake Placid Getaway
Highland Loj was the perfect place for our friends trip! We each had our own bedrooms and bathrooms, which is not always the case. The living room was so cozy.

We loved you place Thank you! ! Highly recommend!!
