Description

Yay! You found us. 

Welcome to the newly revamped ADK Athlete Retreat! We are thrilled to open our hearts and home to you. Whether you're coming to Lake Placid as an Olympian, triathlete (or the training widow/er of an Ironman), looking to tear up some trails or bag some 46ers, hoping for fresh powder, or just want to chill out and rejuvenate, we hope you'll stay in our modernized, historic home, steps from Mirror Lake and all the best bars, restaurants and shops on Main Street.

You'll find us at the tippy top of the hill just behind the theater and Episcopal Church in the center of town. You can practically smell Edite's homemade turnovers and scones at Bluesberry Bakery from our front porch. The Olympic Center, Olympic Ski Jumping Complex and Lake Placid Horse Show are a very short run or ride from us.

Whiteface Ski Resort is a 15-minute drive. Whiteface Peak is visible from our front porch and all the bedrooms in the front of the house. Once you see how magical that view is with the ever-changing clouds, light, and mist, you might never leave. (Which is totally OK with us, as long as you renew your rental contract.).

We have space for everyone and everything — 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, game room with darts and foosball, a children's playroom, basement bike/gear room with separate entry for protected storage for your $$$$ stuff, a private enclosed back patio, and 5 off-street parking spaces. (Just writing all that gets us so excited!) We have flatscreens in all of the bedroom rooms and hi-speed WiFi throughout the house. We recently added a Firestick to the living room TV for all of your streaming needs. But we hope you'll spend most of your time connecting with nature. Each floor has its own full bath with shower, vanity, tons of plush towels, hairdryer, and luxury bath products. Life's too short for drama, regrets, and cheap shampoo. Please note: we encourage you to steal your kid's french fries, or steal a glance of an Olympic bobsledder at Mt. Van Hovenberg, but please don't steal the bath goods or other stuff in the house. It has happened, and it royally bums us out. If you *really really* need them or absolutely can't live without them, just ask!

The main floor features a spacious dining room, gourmet kitchen, living room with stone fireplace, TV and enough seating for your whole group, sunroom, full bath, laundry room with a serious washer/dryer and drying rack to handle ALL your needs, newly constructed bedroom (FIRESIDE: 2 Double Beds) and access to the bike/gear room in the basement.

The enclosed back patio is the perfect entertainment oasis. It features a brand new salt water hot tub, propane grill, and in warmer months, a large dining table and additional outdoor seating are available. Completely fenced-in for privacy, it's just you, your peeps, the breeze in the treetops and beaming moonlight. Our big covered porch is the perfect spot for sipping drinks while watching the sunset reflect on Whiteface, or for watching a summer storm roll over the peaks.

If you have kids, you've hit the rental property jackpot — there's a huge, well-groomed park and playground directly across from our house. It's easy to keep an eye on your kids playing over there while enjoying those aforementioned drinks from the front steps — one of the many reasons we knew we had to own this home. The second floor features 4 bedrooms and 1 full bath. Each bedroom has a flatscreen TV and WiFi:

WHITEFACE: King Bed + room for a pack-and-play TIPS UP: 2 Double Beds + room for a pack-and-play
SNOWSHOE: 1 Queen, 1 Double CASCADE: King Bed + room for a pack-and-play The third floor features another full bath and a children's playroom, equipped with Thomas the Train and his many, many friends, books to read, books to color, and games galore.

To add to the family-friendliness of our home, we offer a pack-and-play travel crib, infant tub, baby monitor, high chair, and dishes for kids. The ground floor entry to the basement offers secure, dry, temperature-controlled storage for all your bikes, skiis, boots, wetsuits and assorted gear. Foam roller, yoga mat, resistance bands, and jump rope are located in the front hall closet. World-class sports and orthopedic physical therapist (a.k.a. one of the homeowners) not included with the rental, but can be made available upon request!

Private, off-street parking for 5 cars is available in front of the house. BOOM. Additional parking is available on the street except when it snows. You can probably figure out why. We love pets and we bet yours is adorbs, but we'll have to settle for seeing them on Instagram and not in our home. Similarly, we have an aversion to smoking and large groups looking to party. Sorry, brah.

This is a family home, not a frat house. Nature has the power to change you and whomever you come here with — we hope you'll let it! Stay with us, and fully experience everything the Adirondacks have to offer. We can't wait to have you, and can't wait to hear about all of your adventures!
