Seclusion, Privacy and a Million Dollar View!
Juniper Hill Lodge is perched on a steep incline with a magnificent view of Whiteface Mountain (4,867'), the fifth highest in New York. You won't see houses, or power lines, or roads, just the stunning High Peaks of the Adirondack Mountains laid out before you..
At night it's a star gazer's paradise! The high altitude, low population and huge deck make this one of the best places to take in the heavens. Magnificent!
Savor a good long soak in the large, heated Jacuzzi whirlpool tub which easily accommodates two! mmmmmm!...
Enjoy the Outdoor Wood-Fired Sauna--Constructed entirely of cedar, seats six, easy to use. Just the thing!
Outdoor Fire Pit and the hammock. Hike the miles of trails right out the back door.
With a total of nine rooms, Juniper Hill Lodge provides spacious accommodations for 6 people with its 2 full bedrooms, loft sleeping area, 1 1/2 baths, gourmet kitchen, dining and living areas and cozy wood stove entry.
The kitchen is very well equipped for cooking any of your favorite dishes. The knives are sharp, the pans are heavy restaurant-quality. There's a Kitchen Aid mixer, Ice Cream maker, Espresso machine, all sorts of baking pans, pie tins and muffin trays. There's even a Waffle Maker, coffee grinder and espresso machine for your lazy mornings! And, you'll be cooking on a gas range of course.
The kitchen sink is a big and extra deep-- large enough to brine a turkey in. And the kitchen island is a huge flat working surface made of Adirondack (Lake Placid) Granite. We love it!
Clean up is no problem using the large capacity super quiet dishwasher.
Whiteface Mountain--Greatest Vertical Drop in the East! Juniper Hill Loj is 1 mile away from the entrance! The mountain is so close (see the pictures!) that we use our walkie-talkies to communicate with the kids when they are skiing! You'll never fight traffic through the notch to make it in time for the first powder of the morning! And, Lake Placid is only 10 miles away--so, after a day of skiing, a fine evening out is very close by!
We love IronMan! The house is in a great spot for it being a mile from the bike course. We usually watch the race at the out-and-back in Wilmington which is just a mile away. Remember, at the out-and-back you can stay in one place and see your Ironman 4 times on the bike loop! Parking there is really easy and you don't have to travel on the bike loop to see the race. Since the house is not directly on the bike route there are easy options for traveling either direction towards Keene or Lake Placid--at any time of day. Wilmington is a great, central location to spend your Ironman week--just a bit beyond the chaos of Lake Placid, Very easy to get around on race-day for your cheering squad. Book it now!

Wonderful experience

We were looking for a house/cabin close to Whiteface mountain. The location was perfect (only a 5-10 minute drive). The view from the kitchen / living room was breathtaking. We were able to enjoy the sauna & outdoor fire pit. The way that the house is decorated and situated made the stay comfortable. One critique is that there are a lot of stairs and only one shower. We had 6 people and getting ready for dinner was time consuming as we had to wait to use the shower. Lake Placid was a very cute town (we went ice skating and walked around) & was only a 15-20 minute drive from the house. Overall, great experience and would book again.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

New Year's family ski holiday

We enjoyed our stay - the loj is ideally located close to Whiteface with the spectacular view advertised. The amenities are generally very nice - there is a well-resourced kitchen area, a charming living room area (with the spectatular view), dishwasher, big eating area. A cross between a true rustic cottage experience (complete with the obligatory mice) and a more upscale loj. The loj is not as big as we expected based on the photos, as half the building is closed off. There is no master bedroom in the rental area, and the two small bedrooms in the basement suffer from poor air quality, being close to the oil tank, with strong fuel oil smell, as well as smoke from the wood stove, which has a strong tendency to smoke. Still, all in all a comfortable place to hang out after skiing - and we had a lovely time.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway.
Thank you again

What a GREAT surprise! I was wisked away here for a surprise proposal! And of course I said YES! This place makes such a nice memory. I will never forget Whiteface at sunset. I love, I mean LOVE the kitchen. It was so nice to get engaged here during leaf peak. It will be something I never forget! The details in this house make it so special from the pinecone curtain rods in the bath room to the amazing paintings all through the house. What a great place!

Attention Star Command..... This is the Herman squadron debriefing you on our current R&R stats. From S'Mores off the stove to majestic views, cheerful mornings to endless laughter, this loj has passed all tests in regards to quality, security, unquenchable fun-itity. We are relaying the message that all systems are go and that we simply had the time of our lives! Hiking was mesmorizing and we truly enjoyed Lake Placid and Whiteface. Each detail throughout the loj was humorious right down to the knights :) !! Thank you so very much, we had a blast!! This is the Hermans, Over and Out! PS we loved your game selection! Uber Classy!!

Thank you for allowing our family to enjoy your wonderful slice of heaven in the mountains. We had a great time, after a day of skiing, enjoying the fantastic view of Whiteface from the deck and couldn't have asked for better weather. We did use the sauna one evening and that was really a blast. Very relaxing.

What a great place to stay in such a prime location near the mountain. All the beds were comfortable and we had such a great time. A magnificant house. With it being so close to Whiteface Mountain we could wake up and be skiing in just 20 minutes total!

We usually go camping when we come to the Adirondacks each year for a vacation but this year decided to really treat ourselves to a special time. And we chose the perfect spot. Fabulous color, amazing view and a welcoming home. Thanks so much for making this trip just perfect!
