About this house rental

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!

Our family enjoyed a 5 day stay at Shore Crest in late August. The main room and bedrooms easily accommodated 12 of us and we loved the covered porch overlooking Mirror Lake.

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

We had a wonderful stay! The house was perfect for our group and the location was great. The hosts Madeliene and David were wonderful to deal with. If we ever visit Lake Placid in the future I know exactly where we will stay!

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.

A beautiful, well appointed and exceptionally suited house for large gatherings. We came to see the eclipse and were blown away by every detail in this house. The pictures don't do it justice! Every bedroom was gorgeous and comfortable.

Shore Crest was a great place for our team and spouses to stay during the tournament. House is wonderful and accommodated all of our needs. Great location and walking distance to the pond for our tournament. The central location to dining and bars is perfect.

Awesome location for a long weekend in Lake Placid! We skied at Whiteface and staying in the village of Lake Placid was a great decision. The house was as advertised!
