Only 5 minutes to town, it is perfect for young children or seniors and all on one level (no stairs).
In summer, enjoy our 18 hole golf course with $45 vouchers available which includes a cart and is a 2 minute walk plus the 6 clay court Tennis Center is just off our parking lot. The lake is a 3 minute walk which takes you to the beach, marina and Moosehead Boathouse restaurant which all overlook Whiteface Mountain, just gorgeous! Also nearby is the High Falls Gorge, Adirondack Museum, mountain biking, great fishing, boating, hiking, factory outlets (Izod, Bass, Jeffery Beane, The Gap, Van Huessen and more), eclectic shops / restuarants and much, much more.
In winter, cross country ski right from our condo plus the famous Jack Rabbit Trail runs through the golf course.

Also enjoy Lake Placid's outside skating rink (where Eric Heiden won 7 gold medals), dog sled rides across Mirror Lake and tobaggon rides. The Olympic Center (home of Miracle-on-Ice), Verizon Sports Complex and Intervale ski jumps are also close by. As they say, location, location, loctaion!

4 out of 5 A Great Place to Stay The young owners of this condo thought of most everything (right down to the soaps and spices, games and videos) to make anyone's stay comfortable and enjoyable. The only negative for some might be that the two bathrooms are located off the main hallway and not en suite. The good qualities and world-class view from the living/dining/kitchen work area quickly make this an unimportant concern! The owners thoughtfully called upon our arrival to ensure that we enjoy their space, and quickly refunded the deposit after our stay.

5 out of 5 One of the best escapes to peace and relaxation! I was at this condo with my friends in March, a bit off-season but it was worth it after a bunch of stressful weeks or hardwork! The pics really show the condo like it is. It's absolutely a home away from home. We never felt like we forgot to carry anything coz even if we did, it was provided. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a great time with family or close friends, to relax, have a calm and enjoyable vacation away from the noise and chaos of regular tourist spots and crowded cities. There's no reason why i wouldn't rent this condo again soon!!! -Madhu Recommended for: Age 55+, Adventure Seekers, Girls Getaway, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway

5 out of 5 Home Away From Home Indeed !!! We took the memorial day weekend for a well deserved break, and boy did we choose the right place for that. It was truly a great home away from home. Infact we almost decided on not going back to our own home. The time just flew and then we had to leave, not that Rudy was in any hurry to get us out either :) I would recommend this to all, anybody who would love to relax in one of the two rocking chairs while overlooking the lake, tree line and smell the clean air, this is the place to be... This is just a short distance from downtown and that is a nice place to spend for an afternoon stroll, window shopping. Rudy has thought of everything and not skimped on quality to do it. Everything was as mentioned and then some. Recommended for: Adventure Seekers, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway

5 out of 5 Great location, views, comforts, and entertainment Rudy and Kathy's condo is tucked away from the beaten path but is only a 5 min drive to town, thus offering a unique sense of wilderness in close proximity to civilization. It is so well appointed in the Adirondak rustic style that as soon as you let yourself in, you're in the "Aaah... finally up North" state of mind. The kids loved the spacious open concept, the abundant board games and family videos, the adventure of the bunk beds, and having their own bathroom. The practical side of Mom loved the meticulously stocked kitchen cupboards, pantry, and bathroom closets; her romantic side - the "zen" feeling of the deck with the rocking chairs and bright flower pots overlooking the majestic peaks, lake, and lilac sunsets. Dad, of course, took notice of the robust, oversized dining set but mostly parked himself on the cozy couch in front of the fireplace and TV. It was hard to go out before noon every day as everybody just wanted to linger. Once you venture out, though, there's so much to do - just consult Rudy's handy "places to go" binder or the condo's Guest Book. Our favourite restaurant was the creperie on Main Street (which also offers great panini sandwiches) - much better than its French-Canadian peer at Mt.Tremblant. A must-see is Mt. Big White Face, with the stone castle and secret tunnel to the top - just remember to bring an extra layer of clothes! And what a better place to satisfy your sweet-tooth cravings than the Candiman store in Wilmington - we loved all of their nutty chocolate varieties (went back three times on the first day). All in all, it was one of the best summer family vacations we've ever had! Actually, Lake Placid/Whiteface is now our favourite North-East ski destination as well, as it offers much better value and none of the crazy crowds, esp. in March. We'll be coming back every year, hopefully twice a year.

Rating5 out of 5 The Perfect Adirondack Retreat Review Submitted: October 29, 2010 Date of Stay: October 2010 Rudy and Kathy's condo was a great home base for us during our recent autumn vacation in Lake Placid. We were there for four days in early October and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The photos you see posted are the real deal, not PhotoShop sleigh of hand -- the condo is indeed that well maintained and tastefully decorated in true Adirondack style; the views from it that magnificent; and the grounds of the resort that attractive. It is obvious that the Youngers put a lot of love and care into this condo, and that it is a true second home for them, not some mere business venture. Rudy provided us well in advance all the information we needed about the condo and how the rental arrangements worked. He made sure we had multiple ways of contacting him in case we needed to, and he also very promptly returned our check written as the security deposit. We had passed through Lake Placid twice before on quick visits, but this was the first time we actually stayed there. The town and surrounding region offer something for eveyone, whether the array of outdoor sports, the shopping, a couple of museums, some very good restaurants, and, of course, the sheer beauty of the Adirondack scenery. We highly recommend the easy drive up nearby Whiteface Mountain for the amazing panoramas from the summit. As for dining options, we give top marks to the take-home meals available at Villa Vespa less than five minutes away from the condo as a happy medium between eating at a restaurant or doing your own cooking. Should a future vacation take us back to Lake Placid, we won't have to think twice where we'll be staying!

The moment we walked in the door, we knew we were home. The big picture window with gorgeous mountain and lake views - Wow! What an incredible job you have done with decorating your condo, hand painted borders, beautiful Adirondack style furniture and all the extras. We're already talking about our next trip back here.
