Why the Owner Chose WilmingtonWhiteface Mountain is the best winter and summer spot for everything we love to do. This is a beautiful part of earth. There is so much to do and also relaxing is great too. This spot in the world is so breathtaking, relaxing and we love escaping away to our piece of paradise.
The Unique Benefits at this HouseThe home is maintained in immaculate condition with a handyman service that keeps the property in perfect condition at all times! The handyman service is onsite and should problems arise your issues will be taken care of promptly. Todd and Kim take pride in their home and want to make sure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable. Olympic Dreams Chalet was built by local craftsmen w/ locally milled lumber. The home also has synthetic green siding. Durable siding reduces demand for harvesting & extracting raw materials & reduces waste. ODC also has a solar water heater. Why we like having a solar water heater - Besides saving you money, solar water heaters also provide big benefits to the planet by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and demand for fossil fuels. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, replacing an electric water heater with a solar water heater offsets the equivalent of 40% to 100% of a typical passenger car’s CO2 output.

This house in Wilmington really exceeded our expectations. The pictures cannot convey the warmth and charm of this home. It is very bright and open with great space for family entertaining. We celebrated a birthday and college graduation with enough room for the extended family to stay with us. Our golden retreivers really enjoyed the visit as well. I have already recommended this home to a friend and she booked it for the next winter. It is a house that can be enjoyed for all seasons. Will definately be back!

I am so sorry this took so long for me to write! My family stayed at Olympic Dreams in November. We had an amazing time. My kids loved having their own "quarters" to spend time in. The house is beautiful. We especially loved the hot tub out on the deck under the beautiful pine trees. We played music outside and spent time with our teenage girls and it was fun for all. The house is beautifully decorated and spotless. The owner made a special call to us to make sure everything was great and pointed us in the direction of the wild life preserve, which was well worth it. I hope to be back again soon, we loved it!

Review Submitted: 12/23/11
My wife had originally looked at several properties in the area before finding this home. It far exceeded all the others offered in the area and had amenities that many others couldn't even begin to offer. It was also in the middle of nowhere, while being in the middle of everything! This was to be a birthday present/vacation for us both. We both work long days all year and prefer to be able to relax as good as possible when we get the chance. THIS WAS IT!!! The place was spotless when we arrived and the fireplace was so inviting that we spent the first couple days just relaxing in front of it. The iPod dock and surround speakers made it easy to play our favorite music while relaxing :) We used the hot tub and fire pit outside a lot. Even when it was snowing these amenities were well used! Being able to bring the entire family made all the difference as well! We have a Bassett Hound and a yellow Lab. They were instantly at ease in the place, which is almost never the case with a new house. If you like seeing color in the yard, we would suggest waiting for the warmer days of the year. The yard is made up of wild flowers and during the colder portion of the season these are cut down to disperse seeds fro the next year. Even with no flowers we all enjoyed the yard and the trails in back of the house. The location is, in one word, perfect! We are planning on making this an annual event and trying to invite more friends and family with us each year!!

We stayed at the owners other house, identical in layout to Olympic Dreams, newly built nearby. House name is Lookout Mountain Chalet, totally beautiful, the view from the windows is like looking at a postcard. We were able to have a bonfire outside, hot tub time after skiing, and there is a wildlife refuge within walking distance to the house. Great for kids and parents too.

This house is incredible. Everything is in immaculate condition and cared for. When we walked through the front door we felt like we were walking into our own home, although our own home with upgrades. Not only is the house the greatest, so are the owners Todd and Kim.

I could see why the the Olympic dreams is perfect place, it is an exact match of Todd and Kim. Will recommend to anyone who is looking for a perfect getaway.

Todd & Kim, The Chalet is fabulous! We had the greatest time here! The kitchen provided us with gormet dinners and glorious conversations. The ambience was splended and overall it was just what I like and more. Outside fires, smores, movies the 12 foot screen(mine!) what more could one ask for. I was able to provide my family with a remarkable trip that created wonderful memories. Thanks for providing the perfect venue for a weekend of fun and reflection I recommend this house to anyone lookin for relaxation and bonding. Any problems we had and they were few Todd and his crew answered right away. Thanks Todd & Kim for a great trip!

Todd & Kim, I have just spent 4 days in your lovely home as a guest of denise and candice. I began comming to the adirondacks as a writer in the 70's. I was at the "miracle on ice" hockey game in 1980. I have to say that this visit ranks up there with the best times. I have been a builder for 30+ years and I am impressed by the design and construction of your home. I look forward to a possible return here thank you.
