From the moment we walked in, the Brookside Cabin was warm, welcoming, and cozy. We instantly relaxed and settled in. Cheryl and her team made sure the cabin was clean, stocked, and that we had everything we needed. We highly recommend the Brookside if you want to get away from the stress of it all! We're already booked for next year!
There are not enough words to explain how wonderful this experience was- but my 11 year old summed it up by day 2 on our stay and said "mom, it feels like home". This is our 3rd stay at Brookside and it won't be our last! Spotless always, lighting in each room is adjustable and lots of them - heat in all rooms adjustable, kitchen has everything you need. Fireplace burns wood and there is plenty of it! Soaking tub in master bath with a view of the brook. TV in both bedrooms. Library with chairs and blankets perfect for reading or napping! Washer dryer too-so we packed a bit lighter this time :) Good memories were made!
This is the most charming, cozy, well equipped home. This was our 3rd time staying at Brookside. We keep coming back because of this. The host is so welcoming and will get right on any detail that may seem off. It's proximity to all the venues one might want to do in Lake Placid is perfect.
We had a great stay at the Brookside Cabin this past weekend. The cabin was beautiful and made for a perfectly wintry getaway, especially with the fireplace keeping that cozy winter vibe. Everything was very clean, and the entire complex was quiet, well maintained, and relaxing. The location was ideal, close to Main Street in Lake Placid. Check in was super smooth and easy. If youâre considering a trip to Lake Placid, I would definitely recommend staying at Brookside Cabin.
We absolutely loved everything about this cottage! Perfectly located, it was just far enough from the village to feel tucked away and private, but close enough to drive 10 minutes to town for dining and shopping. The cottage itself was very clean and tidy, and thoughtfully decorated with luxuriously rustic touches. It was also surrounded by beautiful scenery to admire beyond every windowpane, making our stay extremely comfortable and relaxing. With just three of us staying, we had plenty of room to spread out, but the cottage would be able to accommodate up to 6 people easily, if you don't mind bunking together. We also absolutely loved the wood burning fireplace, stocked with plenty of seasoned firewood for our cozy evenings in. The cottage is also very well managed. Because we came during a very cold and icy streak, there was quite a bit of ice leading up to the front door. We contacted the management company as soon as we arrived and they sent someone out straight away to take care of de-icing the stairs and porch leading up to the front door. We would definitely love to stay again and/or recommend to our family and friends!
Our Thanksgiving stay at Cherylâs beautiful Brookside Cabin was absolutely wonderful. The cozy vibe and peaceful setting was exactly what we were hoping for. Although her place looks lovely in the pictures, they do not do it justice. Itâs even more lovely in person! Itâs very clean, well appointed and well stocked. We hope to visit again!
This cabin was a very short walk to a beautiful lake and just a few minutes drive from all that downtown Lake Placid has to offer.
We loved the spacious rooms and aesthetics; everything was beautiful and well appointed. Nothing better than a cozy fire in the evening followed by a bubble bath in the large tub. Plenty of space for four, and we enjoyed how quickly we could get to all the hiking spots in and around Lake Placid.
Would definitely stay here again, and give this place two big thumbs up.
What a great trip we had in Lake Placid. The house was great and the location was beautiful. Very close to the lake with a nice front deck and covered porch at the front as well. It was also just a few minutes from town and stores. Very short walk to a marina for boat tours and kayaking and small swimming area at the lake. HIGHLY recommend!
Beautiful house! Just as pictured, spacious and bright, we really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is perfect, large enough and well stocked for cooking meals or perfect just for quick coffee and breakfast. Very close to several grocery/specialty food stores. Great location in Lake Placid region for all the outdoor activities, and close to the town of Lake Placid for restaurants and shopping. We had dinner one night at the Moose Lodge Boat House, super convenient 2-minute walk, spectacular view of the lake and mountains.
Brookside is Our favorite property to rent in Lake Placid. Itâs absolutely beautiful, cozy and well appointed. Kitchen is spacious & very user friendly for cooking meals, had everything we needed. This was our second time staying here and we are looking forward to returning. Thank you Cheryl for sharing your beautiful home.
Very cozy and cute cabin, well maintained and excellent communication with Cheryl the host.
Nicely equipped with kitchen equipment and bathroom supplies/towels/blankets and new washer/dryer.
Screen porch could use a little more attention for sitting there to enjoy the brookâ it just has a picnic table and 2 seats. Highly recommend --we are set to return 2025!
Highly recommend!!
This was our 2nd stay at the Brookside Cabin, and we enjoyed it just as much if not more than the first time. First, this is a cabin nestled next to a lovely, small creek partially in the woods, but it's a cabin with very upscale amenities. The bedrooms and beds were all quite comfortable, but the updated bathroom and kitchens offered great luxury. In fact, we brought along our own Nespresso machine only to find one was available. New from our last stay were excellent window unit air conditioners we needed only during the day. Additionally, the porch chairs have been updated and were far more comfortable than those before. Coffee on the deck with views out across the lake was a treat. Best of all, the grounds of the Whiteface Club and Resort are exceptional. The waterfront garden still amazes my gardener wife, and enjoying dinner at the Moose Lodge right on the lake with spectacular views of Whiteface mountain simply can't be beat. This is a very hard spot to dislike, so we look forward to our next opportunity to share this great home.
Property nice but needs work mice dirt on counters , terrible ants on walkway climbing on you trying to unpack had to go and get stuff to put down thank to my husband he took care of them , buts mice coming in somewhere and we were very clean used ziplock bags and containers Would have left but family in hotels in town , hope I can be compensated!
I am a resident and native of Staten Island, NY. I am 3rd generation in a family business that was started by my grandfather in 1929 after he immigrated to the US. Back in those days he created every block by hand. We currently specialize in mason and building materials. I have been renting Brookside for 25 years and have done many improvements over the years. My tenants are extremely pleased and I have many returning renters. I take pride in giving each tenant complete attention and strive to help them have the best vacation possible.
Iâd like to tell you about my first experience as a potential buyer of Brookside. I arrived during the night and settled into the cozy cabin with no knowledge of the spectacular impressions I would receive the next morning. I awoke to the beautiful sounds of the babbling brook, which I hadnât heard when I first arrived. I then went outside to the gorgeous wrap around deck I looked at the beautiful Whiteface Mountain and the picturesque Lake Placid while drinking my morning coffee. As I relaxed next to a warm fire I immediately fell in love. Following my lovely morning I explored the area and saw nature at its best. Just 5 minutes away I enjoyed the cozy village of Lake Placid where I antiqued, shopped at boutiques, dined on the lake and enjoyed a fifty cent popcorn at the historic cinema. I decided then and there this was the place and the property for me.
