                            Highly recommend this home just off Main Street , perfect access to town, the lake, whiteface and all stores and restaurants. Had 7 teenagers and 2 dogs that loved the place.

                            Our large family spent Christmas week at the Homestead. We all had a wonderful time. Location is perfect - you can walk a few steps and be right on the main street of town. Kids walked to park around the corner to sled. We were lucky to get several days of snow, so the skiing, boarding and xctry skiing were great. Hot tub a plus after long day of skiing. Extra bonus was that we could bring our elderly labrador along - he loved the snow too!

                            My Short film got into the Lake Placid Film Fest. The house was in the perfect location right behind the film forum office a 1 min walk down a little hill put us right on main street and right next to the movie theater. The hot tub is amazing and my friends cooked out with the propane grill until they could no longer eat steaks and burgers. The owner was great checked in with us enough to make sure we didn't need anything and his binder that he left on the kitchen table was filled with great insider info on the town and restaurants. All and all a perfect stay If you are going to lake placid I highly recommend renting this wonderful house

                            We had a group of 10 stay comfortably over a winter's week. The fireplace and its proximity to Main St were probably our two favorite things about the house. There were plenty of linens and nicely equipped kitchen. With its location, there was something for everyone in our group. Catching the ski shuttle was easy. The toboggan chute was a pleasant walk across Mirror Lake. For the runners among us, a nice extensible loop around Mirror Lake, along with ice skating and wine tasting. We really enjoyed ourselves. Thanks for a great stay!

                            The Homestead was absolutely fantastic. Spent a week there over the Christmas holiday and we had a great time. Close to everything, can easily park the car for the entire stay. We had several kids with us and there was plenty of room for everyone. Hot tub is a treat after skiing all day. Highly recommend it and we will definetely be back!!!

                            3 generation family vacation (with pets!) was packed with wonderful memories at this property! The house accommodated all our needs and we loved the rooftop deck for our family barbecues. Fourth of July fireworks were an amazing site from the deck!

                            We've stayed at the house twice, each time was superb! The location is very convenient, just 1/2 block from Main St. and all the bars and restaurants in Lake Placid. The deck and the hot tub are a wonderful way to spend some time. Kim and Tom are great, very responsive! We very much look forward to our next stay!!

                            We had a great stay there, comfortably slept all of our party (14). A very short walk to the center of town, great place to stay overall. No issues with anything at all. Would certainly recommend for any larger parties looking for comfort and a great location.

                          Year Purchased: 2007

                          About the owner: We are the Rath family, we LOVE Lake Placid and know you will too! The Adirondacks are an endless outdoor playground, if you get bored up here you're doing something wrong. The Homestead is an amazing property, just a few steps from Main Street, perfect for large groups of family and/or friends...

                          Why the Owner Chose Lake Placid:
                          Lake Placid has it all. Four seasons of the year there is ALWAYS something to do outdoors. We spend much of our winters downhill skiing at Whiteface mountain, cross country skiing just about ANYWHERE, and snowmobiling the hundreds of miles of trails the Adirondacks has to offer. The rest of the year we enjoy boating or paddling the lakes, golfing or hiking the many high peaks in the area.

                          The Unique Benefits at this House:
                          The Homestead is PERFECT for larger groups, big families or families vacationing together. TONS of room to spread out. Without question, the 'fan favorites' are the huge decks, and oh yes, the 8 person hot tub! The newly remodeled kitchen is a great place to hang, if you love board games like we do, you'll be spending plenty of time in the 'game nook'...
