IRONMAN LAKE PLACID

The McKinley House is an ideal home base for IRONMAN Lake Placid, located just a short walk from the Olympic Oval, Main Street, Mirror Lake, and race festivities.

Please note that due to the exceptionally high demand for IRONMAN weekend, reservations for these dates are non-refundable. Most athletes and their families reserve accommodations many months, and often more than a year, in advance. As a result, cancellations closer to the event can be very difficult to rebook.

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to help protect your trip investment in the event of an unexpected illness, injury, or other covered circumstances.

⸻

IMPORTANT NOTE

A separate third-floor studio apartment is occupied and has its own completely private entrance.

Guests have exclusive use of the first and second floors, deck, screened porch, yard, fire pit, and all outdoor living areas. No indoor or outdoor spaces are shared.
