Birches

Built in 1912 and completely renovated in 2005, Birches was part of the historic Lake Placid Club grounds used to house European royalty prior to World War I. Walk to everything: Birches is one block from Mirror Lake, 2 blocks from golf and tennis and 4 blocks from the center of the Olympic Village. Perched on a gentle hillside, Birches offers million dollar views of the Adirondack High Peaks, Olympic Ski Jumps, Olympic Bobsled Track and Lake Placid Golf Courses.

Birches has 5 bedrooms, 4 of which have spacious sleeping lofts (that include Tempur-Pedic mattresses), and sleeps up to 20 people. Each bedroom has its own private bathroom and reading porch.

The master bedroom has a king bed, private balcony with views of Olympic ski jumps, bobsled track and Cascade Mountain range. Relax in a leather love seat by the warm wood burning fireplace in the suite! The master bathroom has two sink vanity plus double shower heads.

In addition to the master bedroom, there are three bedrooms with king beds, one bedroom with a queen bed and one bedroom with two twin beds (temperpedic mattresses) that can be pushed together to make a king. All beds come equipped with linens and comforter. Two towels are provided for each bedroom (10 in total.) I recommend bringing extra towels for hot tub and lake. There is a washer and dryer on the top level.

The four bedrooms on the top floor have private balconies. Each balcony is unique and has a different feel. I recommend spending time on each balcony whether reading, playing cards, people watching, or relaxing with your favorite drink. Great in all seasons! The four upstairs bedrooms also come with large, spacious sleeping lofts accessed by a ladder. The lofts come with Tempurpedic Mattresses ranging in size from twins (6 in total) to doubles (2 in total.) They mattresses come with a fitted sheet and throw comforter! Kids love to play in the lofts!

Birches sits on an acre of wooded property. The open floor plan is designed to enhance entertainment with a large, fully equipped kitchen including cable tv and breakfast bar, a large dining room with window seats, and a spacious family room with a stone fireplace, game table, and floor-to-ceiling windows to capture the awesome views.

A five-person hot tub outside the ground-level game room provides relaxation after skiing, hiking, or exercise with views of the golf courses, ski jumps, bobsled and mountains. An outdoor grill is available. The ground-level game room has regulation size ping pong table. There is also a sleeping alcove off to the side that some guests use as an extra bedroom. It is a double size temperpedic mattress that comes with a fitted sheet and throw comforter.
