Lake Placid Garden Cottage at the Whiteface Club and Resort on Lake Placid Lake...A cottage for all seasons! Historic, restful, cozy and memorable.. A true 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.

Wonderful Lake Placid Cottage!

My partner and I stayed at the Garden Cottage for 3 nights and it was absolutely spectacular! The cottage is very charming, wonderfully located with easy access to the marina where there's a restaurant, kayak/boat rentals, a small beach, and a moments drive to the main strip in Lake Placid. The place was immaculate and fully stocked with everything we could possibly need. It's quiet, private, and we exactly what I had been looking for when planning our trip. Amy had been extremely responsive via email prior to our arrival answering all the questions I had about the property. It's an absolutely lovely property, if I find myself back in Lake Placid I would definitely stay here again!
Owner response:Paul and Barry, Thank you for sharing your reflections on your stay at Garden Cottage. It is unique and special as many who experience it, find out.. I hope you return in the near future..thank you, Amy

Perfect Mini Honeymoon

My husband and I drove up to Lake Placid the day after we got married for our fabulous two night stay. This was our second visit to Lake Placid but our first experience staying at the Garden Cottage. Amy, you have really thought of everything, the cottage is perfect. We arrived a little after dark and it was quiet around the lake but the minute we opened the door we were relaxed and at home in the coziness of the lit cottage all decorated for the holiday season. The bed and views are amazing and we had the fire roaring the entire time we were there. Lake Placid has many cute restaurants but we never wanted to leave the cottage and ordered dinner in both nights so we could relax and eat by the fire! Our hound mix Fred loved every minute of his stay too. I only hope we can return in the near future, we are already looking at our February schedules to try and work out a longer stay. The only problem with our trip...we didn't want to leave. Thank you Amy for making our mini honeymoon relaxing and perfect. The Browns (Paul, Heather and Fred).

Hi Amy, How wonderful my time was while staying at Garden Cottage. What a delightful little home away from home. Aspen must be amazing, because I can't for the life of me imagine leaving 2 Chipmunk Lane to stay anywhere else, summer or winter. Thank you so very much for your care and every creature comfort at the cotttage. No detail was overlooked in your provision and concern for my time at Garden Cottage. The weather was damp and even snowy, but the time away was just what the doctor ordered. Everyone I met at Lake Placid speaks so highly of you. Can't wait until next time to stay again. K.M.

Idyllic Adirondack Cottage

Review Submitted: 01/18/11
Garden cottage is utterly charming. We arrived on an exceptionally cold night in January (0!) And the cottage was well-lit, warm and inviting. We still couldn't resist stoking up a real wood fire. No detail has been spared with décor and it's incredibly homely. The bathroom and kitchen are new, and the kitchen is very well equipped. The cottage is in a great position just a few steps from the lake and a few minutes drive from the Relais and Chateaux Lake Placid Lodge where we had a delicious meal. It's also close to Whiteface ski resort, 5 minutes from a cross-country ski trail, and a few minutes from several beautiful hikes. My only regret is due to the snow we couldn't see the garden. We will be back!
Owner response:Thank you! I look forward to having you return to see and enjoy the summer gardens. Amy

My husband and I took our first trip to Lake Placid in early December and we cannot say enough about our stay at the Garden Cottage. It was exactly what we had hoped for when planning a little get-away. The cottage is so warm, quaint and cozy, beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The location is just perfect, off the beaten path for a quiet, peaceful stay, but just minutes away from all that Lake Placid has to offer. We had fresh snow fall the entire time and enjoyed relaxing each night by the fireplace. Thank you, Amy, for a memorable and perfect mini-vacation. We will definitely be back!
Owner response:Thank you! You had the magical experience that I hope for all my guests.

October in the Adirondacks

Review Submitted: 12/08/10
My husband and I have been going to Lake Placid in October for the last 5 years. This year we wanted to bring our yellow lab with us, so we needed to find a pet friendly place that would feel like home. The Garden Cottage was wonderful! We found ourselves sightseeing less and spending more time at the cottage so we could enjoy the fireplace. The cottage is so cozy, warm and inviting. We loved the views of the mountains and Lake Placid. It was a wonderful, relaxing get-a-way for us. Thanks for sharing your cottage.......next time we hope we can stay longer!
Owner response:Staying in the Garden Cottage, as you describe, is exactly the experience that I hope for. There is a magical spell that embraces you the moment you open the door...thank you for letting me know that the magic continues! Amy DeLuca Owner since 2003

A Garden For All Seasons

My wife, myself,and our Standard Poodle spent 4 calming nights here and have never had such a relaxing, rejuvenating respite in this beautifully decorated Adirondaack inspired cozy cabin. I am from the North Country and have visited Lake Placid many many times. We have stayed in some very pleasant cabins and homes. The Garden Cottage tops them all. Location, landscaping, ambiance, comfort, amenities, are all superlative. Amy DeLuca has a gem here and our only regret is we had to leave. Really, you will not find a nicer place.

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.

If you are looking for an intimate, romantic, charming, and very comfortable get away in a beautiful and majestic setting, I invite you to consider the Garden Cottage in Lake Placid. We happened to visit in November when there was just enough snow to add ambiance, and it was just cold enough to take advantage of the grand stone fireplace. Though compact, the cottage is well-designed and well-organized, and very, very tidy - perfect for two! The king sized bed is luxurious, and we wondered where such wonderful pillows could be found! The lack of foliage in late fall provided an unencumbered view of the lake, and truly there is purple mountain majesty to be found in the Adirondacks! The cottage is close to shopping, fine dining, and the winter Olympic sites, and offers a haven for rest and relaxation in addition to, or instead of the local attractions. The Garden Cottage exceeded my expectations, and was perfect for the romantic long weekend I had planned.
Owner response:Thank you for taking the time to review your last visit to the Garden Cottage. I stay there when I can slip in for a weekend just to experience the serenity that it provides. I sleep better there than I do anywhere else! As owner and an interior designer, I wish to offer an ambiance both inside and outside, that affords my guests all the pleasures and expectations that a Cottage in the Adirondack woods can be. I strive to offer the amenities that my guests have come to expect--fully appointed kitchen, ample firewood, Weber Gas grill, a European styled bathroom, washer and dryer, feather bed, hypoallergenic feather pillows, high count sheets, maid service on request, summer gardens worthy of a postcard, winter plowing and shoveling, HBO, DVD, CD player and high speed internet connection. Staying in the Garden Cottage is like being a guest in a luxury suite found anywhere in the world! It is truly a Cottage for All Seasons! Come and see for yourself...

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!
