About this cottage rental

Rest, relax & rejuvenate. Welcome to the Garden Cottage!
Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, choose a cozy winter stay, a summer vacation, or a romantic honeymoon, the Garden Cottage is the perfect choice! It is just like staying in your own private and elegant luxury suite! The Cottage has a stone fireplace stocked with ample firewood and cozy amenities to make a memorable visit.

Enjoy the ambiance of the historic Whiteface Club and Resort, including a private beach, lakeside dining, marina, 18-hole championship golf course, and clay tennis courts. The area also offers trekking and cross-country ski trails...all within walking distance.

Garden Cottage was originally an open-air 'smoking gazebo' created for the original Whiteface Inn. It is said that gentlemen would retire here to enjoy a brandy and a cigar after their meal at the Inn. Over time, additions were added to create a bedroom, bathroom, dining room and kitchen. The original stone hearth, stone floors, and living room with its cathedral beam ceiling remain.
Returning guests often mention how rustic and authentic it is, yet fully equipped with modern amenities.

The bedroom was designed to feel like sleeping out in the woods with an amazing real birch tree headboard, however, no sleeping bag needed here, as our fluffy feather bed compares to boutique hotel comfort.

Our attention was driven on finding rare pieces of furniture and antiques from the surrounding region, like our latest addition, which is a custom made dining table from master craftsman Steve Bowers. As you sit on the Westport chairs in the privacy of the large perennial garden, enjoy the smell of the surrounding woods and calming sound of the loons in the distance.

Enjoy the reawakening of the Adirondacks in the spring when the garden’ flowers and berries are in bloom and the last of the ice is melting on the lake.
During the summer, steps away from the front door, take a dip in the purest water of Lake Placid after a wonderful hike or boat ride.
In the fall, you can enjoy the splendor of a nature walk in the beauty of the foliage.
The winter season offers virgin snow for your first tracks on cross-country skis and snowshoes. You can also sit by the fire and enjoy a nice glass of wine.

The Cottage is only a few minutes’ drive to the lovely town of Lake Placid. It is a historic Olympic village that offers lots of shopping, dining options, gourmet shops and antique galleries on Main Street.

Please take advantage of all you find here. We hope the cottage becomes your home during your stay in Lake Placid and that you find it a pleasant retreat to return to, season after season.

The Lake Placid cottage/cabin exceeded our expectations. It was neat and clean, privately set, delightfully furnished, had a well stocked lardier with lots of treats and necessities. The heater was excellent, the washer dryer seemed brand new, every detail was thought out down to the heated toilet seat! We needed to contact the manager once and she responded immediately. Lastly, the location couldn’t have been better. I would highly recommend this Lake Placid VRBO.

My husband and I visit Lake Placid annually, and what a treat to have discovered this quintessential Adirondack style cabin! The photos do not lie—this beautifully decorated cabin is in excellent condition; the amenities are generous; and this stay was comparable to previous stays at lodges. While this was a short stay over a long weekend, we look forward to returning in the future. Thank you for sharing your home, Ben and Mary!

This is a beautiful cottage very well appointed and filled with amenities. I had the impression it was on Lake Placid which it is not. The view of the lake is also obscured There is a walking path down to lake but no beach and you have the feeling you are intruding upon other private property.

We started with the road down to the cottage being completely washed out with massive holes. The road was rock and sand. Upon finding our cottage we had about a 200 yard trek through a trail dragging our luggage and everything we had brought. My husband and I are over 70 years old. This is a 100 year old cement building that had the siding falling off, outside furniture in disrepair and we got to enjoy a view of the cottage next door with their outdated refrigerator being stored on their porch. A lot of disrepair with front door, entry way, and door handle was about to fall off. Upon entering there was a clear odor smell from the fireplace that had been there for a long time. The shower door was installed backwards with pieces of the shower floor missing. It said the cottage was air-conditioned, we had a small window air-conditioner in our bedroom, we never found the tv at all until the day we left. I took pictures and wish I could send them to you. When you pay almost $4,000 for a week at a cottage that is advertised to be part of the Whiteface Club, you do not expect this type of product. We arrived on Saturday and conditions were so bad that we left on Tuesday. We have since learned that the owners live in France so perhaps they are not aware of what it actually looks like. I normally have good luck with VRBO; however, this time around, not so good. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to share our experience.

A beautiful little cottage located very conveniently near Lake Placid and other Adirondack towns - very easy to get into Lake Placid and Saranac Lake. Very quickly felt at home in the cottage, it was very comfortable with plenty of blankets and pillows and pillows and pillows (there were a lot of them). Kitchen was very well- stocked and maintained, though there were a few pots and pans that could have been cleaned better. Appreciated the amenities, including the fireplace, towel warmer, and the toilet seat warmer (that one took me a bit by surprise!). Bathroom was a little tight; knocked my elbow on the toilet roll and in the shower a couple times so broader-shouldered guests may have a little more trouble. I had a great time bird watching; the feeders right outside the windows made it easy to watch. The property has great views and is nicely insulated from the other cabins around the property. The short walk down to the lake was nice, and I wish we'd had more time to explore to find the walking trails. I'd highly recommend this cottage. It was a wonderful spot, well maintained, and very relaxing for the two of us. Beverly was great and very responsive when we had questions; I really appreciated knowing how to get in touch. If you're looking for a getaway, a place to read or watch the birds, or have a relaxing home-base for ADK mountain adventures, check this place out!

My husband and I, and our dog, just visited for a week of hiking and skiing at nearby Whiteface. We fell in love with this cottage, it felt like staying in something out of a storybook. Convenient location and comfortable amenities, we cooked most of our meals in the cottage (kitchen is well equipped and there’s a grocery store five minutes away), and took advantage of the lovely fireplace. Hoping to visit again this summer!
