About this property
Yinzer House - Whiteface Mountain High Peaks Lake Placid Getaway
Welcome to Yinzer House! Our modern one-bedroom home is a perfect basecamp for up to two guests who are exploring the Adirondacks. Surrounded by mountains, you're just a short drive from Lake Placid, the high peaks, and Whiteface Mountain.
The space
Modern Adirondack home (with two front doors) and a huge backyard with views of the Jay Mountain Range. Full kitchen to cook meals, back yard with a fire table, Nespresso/french press/Keurig, full bath, and a washer and dryer as well. Have some arcade fun while hanging out indoors. AC available in the summer. Great location to cross a 46 peak off your list, ski Whiteface, or just explore the Adirondacks.

About the host
Hosted by Rikki
I vacationed in the Adirondacks for years before purchasing my first house in 2015 in Jay, NY. I work from home as a systems administrator and love to hike, snowshoe, ski, kayak, do home renovations, and most of all spend time with my family.
Why they chose this property
We purchased Yinzer House for the following reasons: We wanted a space for our family/friends to stay while visiting the Adirondacks, a place to work from home at (since my husband and I both work remotely), and a place to host guests at as well. When we purchased the house, we learned that the house was a motel years ago. It is pretty awesome that we are able to host guests like the previous owners did years ago as well.
What makes this property unique
Your hosts Rikki and Jay live next to the home so we are available for emergencies when needed.
