Garden Cottage...A cottage for all seasons! An Historic Adirondack Cottage with a touch of Provence!

Rest, relax & rejeuvenate. Welcome to Garden Cottage!
Whether you choose a cozy, romantic winter stay, plan a honeymoon or a special anniversary, Garden Cottage is like staying in a luxury suite found anywhere in the world! The stone fire place, stocked with ample fire wood outside your door, and cozy amenities make for a memorable visit.
Enjoy the private beach, (beach towels provided) lake side dining, Marina, 18 hole Championship Golf course, clay tennis courts and ambiance of the historic Whiteface Club and Resort...all within walking distance from the Garden Cottage.

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.

And if you desire privacy...the Cottage is landscaped with a privacy hedge, colorful flower beds and lawn... providing a little world to enjoy in the woods.

As you sit on an Adirondack chair, enjoy the smell of the surrounding woods and the calming sound of a pair of loons in the distance. In autumn, enjoy the splendor of a nature walk drinking in the beauty of fall foliage. In winter, virgin snows await your first tracks on snowshoes or cross-country skis or take a brisk, evening sleigh ride. In spring, enjoy the reawakening of the gardens, the trees, the Lake and the entire Adirondacks.

Please take advantage of all you find here. It is our desire that our cottage becomes your cottage during your stay in Lake Placid and that you'll find it a pleasant retreat to return to, season after season.

  • I recently returned from a PERFECT stay at Garden Cottage. I swear, upon arrival I thought I had died and gone to heaven. It couldn't have been more perfect. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything and anything one might need - for example I brought an espresso maker - next time I don't need to bother. The furnishings are tasteful yet cozy, plus there are 2 TVs, AND high speed internet connection. The setting of the cottage is perfection, near enough to the lake that a short walk is all one needs, but isolated enough to feel relaxed. I slept 15 hours a day on the giant bed and spent the rest of the time reading in the front yard while listening to loons and owls nearby. I can hardly wait to return to Garden Cottage. Thank you, Thank you.

  • The Garden Cottage is BEAUTIFUL! The pictures can not do it justice...it is far more beautiful than the pictures show. We loved every minute in this charming, immaculately clean, very comfortable, well equipped, and beautifully decorated cottage. We were blown away with Amy's attention to detail. We can not say enough wonderful things about this fantastic cottage. Although we are skiers...we opted to take in local sights and snow shoe locally...rather than leave the cottage all day to ski! This cottage exeeded our highest hopes. Thanks, Amy! We'll be back!

  • WOW!!! What a fantastic time we had between Christmas and New Years 2007 in the Garden Cottage. After what, according to the locals, had been a snowless winter, winter showed up just as we arrived. With snow falling every day of our stay, Lake Placid was transformed into a real "Winter Wonderland." We were absolutely blown away by how completely Amy and Mark had equipped this romantic hideaway. You truly need bring nothing but your clothing. They thought of and included everything you could possibly want or need. We spent most of our time just lounging in our cozy hideaway; reading, working on a jigsaw puzzle, or just lounging by the ever present crackling fire in the magnificent stone fireplace. We can't wait to return.

  • This is truly a romantic, enchanted cottage. The only thing bad was I wish we could have stayed longer than 3 days. This is one of the most wonderful times I have ever had. This place is heaven on earth and now it has to end & us return home to daily routines. We will be back each year to "Garden Cottage" and recommend to all our family & friends. Thank you for this wonderful weekend of memories.

  • August 2003 Thank you for the wonderful memories we'll always cherish staying at the garden cottage. Our little 7 month old Marcello was able to sit up on his own and practice semi-crawling on the cozy king size bed. Your well-equipped kitchen and herb garden made us feel very much at home, especially the gas grill. We hope to return for more memories. Aileen, Nick & Marcello

  • Have only felt this way about a vacation spot twice before - once in ancient farmhouse in Cornwall by the Sea & another old farmhouse in Wales. What a charming cottage. We will be back again - hopefully, may times. The Cunninghams - Kim, Kit, Harry, the dog and Abigail, the CAT.
