About the host
Hosted by Sonja
I’m a Lake Placid local who loves the mountains, the seasons, and helping others enjoy everything this amazing area has to offer. I’ve been hosting long-term rentals for over 20 years and short-term stays for the past 2 — and I truly enjoy creating spaces where people feel comfortable and cared for.
When I’m not managing properties, I love spending time outdoors, exploring the Adirondacks, or just relaxing with family. I’m always nearby and happy to help if you need anything during your stay!

Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it captures everything I love about Lake Placid — peaceful charm, beautiful views, and unbeatable access to the village. McKinley House sits in a quiet, friendly neighborhood just a short walk to Mirror Lake, the Olympic Center, restaurants, shops, and the Ironman finish line.
What I enjoy most is the relaxed, welcoming vibe of the area. You can sip coffee on the screened-in porch with views of the Olympic ski jumps, stroll downtown in minutes, or come back and unwind by the fire pit after a day of adventure. McKinley House reflects that same balance — cozy, comfortable, and full of character — just like the neighborhood it’s part of.

What makes this property unique
McKinley House is a one-of-a-kind blend of historic charm and modern comfort, with a location that’s hard to beat. Built in the 1850s, the home has beautiful character — from its creaky wood floors to its wraparound screened-in porch with views of the Olympic ski jumps.
What makes it truly special is the combination of space, privacy, and walkability. Guests have the entire two-story home to themselves, along with a deck, fire pit, and plenty of room to relax — all just minutes from downtown Lake Placid, Mirror Lake beach, and the Olympic venues. Whether you’re here to explore or just kick back, McKinley House offers a cozy, inviting stay in the heart of it all.
