Year-round sports paradise, the best of the Adirondacks.
Zero stress level.
Ideal for family vacation
If you are looking for a 5 star hotel with polished brass railings and the smell of chlorine everywhere, then go somewhere else!! This is a spacious vacation home in the Adirondack Wilderness.
Get away from the stress of the city. No adjacent condos here nor houses stuffed 20 feet from each other. Located on 10 wooded, secluded acres, the nearest neighbors are barely visible!
If relaxation is what you are looking for, you will enjoy the peace and privacy found at the Mountain View Chalet. After a day of adventure, unwind in an inviting hot tub and sit in comfort by the fireplace with authentic adirondack artisan furnishings. The living area also features original oil paintings and award winning photography.
If you still have energy to burn off then our onsite gym is just the ticket - universal, BowFlex weights, stair climber, bikerider, etc - or maybe some serious air hockey, table tennis, or pool suits your desires. The location and convenience of this home are an ideal setting for a family vacation. You will never want to go home!

This wonderful house provided the perfect setting for my adult children, grandchildren and I to play together for a week in, on and around beautiful Lake Placid. The kitchen was well-eqipped and large enough for several cooks to work in. There were enough comfortable beds and bathrooms to accomodate all of us. The hot tub was used every day and was especially fun at night. And the gameroom was in constant use. In general, the chalet is beautiful, clean, well-maintained and just plain fun to stay in. We had a great time!

8 of us gals decided to run the Lake Placid Marathon and had the idea to rent a house to recover in while there for the weekend. We found the Mountain View Chalet and it turned out to be the perfect fit! If you want a house you can relax in, cook in, jacuzzi in and generally just de-stress in, this place is perfect. And it's only a short drive to Main Street, Lake Placid. It was an absolute pleasure hanging out in this house for 3 nights. I would recommend it for any group getaway.
Owner response:Thanks!!!

The Hubers have hit just the right balance between the homey atmosphere of the mountain cabin and the elegant luxury of the urban condo! There is something for everyone here. We were there for a long weekend with our 3 sons and 2 grandsons (3 & 7). EVERYONE was happy 24/7. No one complained about being bored. Skiing, snow shoeing, hot-tubbing, and photography kept us busy during the day while ping pong, pool, and fusball entertained the "boys" Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was fun for a whole family of cooks. There were no surprises; all was as described. We had a great time and will go back again. We still haven't scratched the surface of what Lake Place and the surrounding area have to offer!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was very spacious and well maintained. There was plenty of room for our party of 10. Kitchen is especially wonderful, and our kids really loved the game room. One of the bedrooms sleeps 5 kids (two bunk beds + trundle bed), which was great for us. The wrap-around deck and hot tub were fantastic. We would definitely stay here again when back in the area. The drive into town was about 10 minutes. The location was nice, but for some that like to be more in the middle of things, this may feel too remote. The owner was very easy to deal with and accomodating.

We spent our first Christmas away from home, and we could not have chosen a better place to spend Christmas than the Mountain View Chalet. Steve and Laura did us the favor of decorating the chalet with a Christmas tree, and other decorations. The kids had a lot of fun playing outside and down in the basement. The adults did a lot of relaxing, and also enjoyed challenging the kids to pool and ping-pong. The chalet is well equipped to accommodate kids and adults alike. It is conveniently located just 4 miles outside of town, and only 20 min. to Whiteface mountain. However, the 10 acre property gives you all of the privacy you need. We were a group of nine.......5 adults, and 4 children, ages 14, 13, 11, and 7, and we are all looking forward to returning. We highly recommend this place!!

The house is even better than the pictures...the kitchen is unbelievable. We opted to stay in and eat instead of going out because it was so much fun to cook in this kitchen. The property is beautiful...The hottub is the perfect touch...the house was spotless and decorated beautifully. The gameroom downstairs is a real bonus. We're praying for another hockey camp to come up this winter so we can enjoy Lake Placid again..and hopefully get to enjoy the Chalet once more. Our hats are off to he Hubers for sharing this wonderful property with us. Thanks.

Steve and Laura, We had such a lovely time staying in the Chalet! When we arrived the place was immaculate and very welcoming. It was nice to be as secluded as we were, yet close enough to town and other activities. The kitchen was a joy, as was the master bathroom and hot tub on the deck. It was the relaxing environment that we were looking for. We hope to return. Regards, Sarah & Erik
