About this property

Short walk to village...with private wooded setting. EV Charger in parking area.

As Lake Placid Club grew from its inception in 1895, it experienced many expansive changes. At it's height, the private club included 6,000 acres in an extensive development of accommodations, recreation facilities, service buildings, farmland and forest. In the early part of the 1900s certain members of the club were no longer satisfied with the hotel-like accommodations in the large club house. Over time some 40 cottages were built near, but separate from, the main building. Today, fewer than a dozen of these historic buildings remain. Our house, Juniper Cottage, built in 1923, is one of them. The total renovation of the property, completed in July 2005, has been as respectful as possible to the original Juniper and is designed to maximize its secluded forest setting and the variety of mature trees which surround the house.

Juniper has 4 bedrooms each with their own screened in porch and bathroom. The master bedroom has a gas fireplace (gas), queen bed, sitting area with two chairs, and a closet. A second bedroom on the main floor has a queen bed and closet. The third main floor bedroom has two twin beds and a bathroom with whirlpool tub. The fourth bedroom is located down a spiral staircase from the main floor to a walkout lower level. This bedroom has two twin beds and a private bathroom. The laundry room is also downstairs with both a washing machine and dryer.

The living room has a 14 foot cathedral ceiling, great views of the forest and a large stone fireplace. The room is perfect for sitting around the fireplace reading, chatting, watching TV, or listening to music on the Sonos system. Juniper is equipped with an iMac and high speed internet. Want to unplug? Then feel free to read one of the many books at Juniper, play one of the board games or do an old-fashioned jigsaw puzzle.

The galley kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator, gas range and oven, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, microwave and a large selection of dish ware, glassware, pots, pans, utensils, etc. If you prefer to grill, there is a gas grill right outside the front door.

If you come in the winter to ski, we have plenty of room for your equipment. There are racks to hold eight sets of skis. Also, inside the front door is a small, heated mud room with benches and coat racks so you can easily remove your winter clothes and boots without bringing them into the cottage.

There is a small shed near the parking area of Juniper to put garbage and recyclables. And in the back yard there is a hammock for enjoying the good weather and a lean-to in case you want to spend a night outdoors or just enjoy the fire pit in front of it.

Juniper is close (10 minute walk) to town but situated in a private-wooded setting. This allows for privacy when grilling and/or dining outside. Or just when sitting with your family and friends around the outdoor fire pit roasting marshmallows.

From Juniper Cottage you can easily access many activities. It is a short walk or bike ride into town and all that that has to offer including a park, public beach and tennis courts. On the Lake Placid Club grounds there are three golf courses designed by Scots for the Lake Placid Club.

There is access to many hiking (and biking) trails right outside the front door. In the winter, these trails are great for cross country skiing. With a car, skiing at the Whiteface is 15 minutes away. In all seasons, near-by activities and attractions are truly limitless.

For property security, outdoor security cameras are located at the front and rear doors and cover portions of the front and rear yards. Ringing the doorbell on the front door will ring the indoor chime and will send a ring alert to us.

Great place to stay!

The location was secluded enough we didn’t see anyone around the house, but getting to and from town was easy. Would gladly stay again!

It's tucked away and quiet with big windows overlooking a wooded area. We were able to bike or walk into town. Inside, each bedroom has it's own bathroom. That was a deal-breaker.

July in the ADK

Always love being in LP in any season and especially the week of the 4th of July. Anything goes weather wise and we saw it all. The house was awesome. Loved being in the particular part of LP that it is located in as we’ve actually never planted ourselves there. The peace and quiet was delightful and close enough to everything if you want to take a dip, hit the links, jump on a bike, hike or walk to town. Best of everything!

Another great stay at Juniper!

This was our fourth time staying at Juniper and it was another great experience. The location is perfect for us, nestled in the woods, but walking distance to town and Mirror Lake. Our four yr old son loves staying at “The Bear House” (his name for it because of the bear in dining area). We look forward to returning next year!

We loved this house.

We loved every minute of staying at Jupiter. Everything was in great condition and we loved the close proximity to town. We especially liked having all the bedrooms and bathrooms and porches. It was fun sitting in each of the porches while enjoying a cup of coffee. We would highly recommend this home to anyone staying in Lake Placid.

Great time, quiet wonderful location

This cottage was truely a delightful find. We went up Columbus Day weekend to hike Big Slide and all seven of us were thrilled with the accomodations. The great room was wonderful place to hang out and make the final plans for our hike. The beds were so very comfy everyone woke up well rested and ready to go at 5:30 am. Upon our return that evening we loved the four bathrooms to clean up in which left plenty of time to toast our accomplishment. We had hoped to build a camp fire and snuggle in the cozy blankets Eric and Leanne had provided for just that purpose but found the wine and the beds too compelling. Next time! Yes, we will be back!

Great spot - with lots of room

Though other reviews indicated the cottage was plenty large, we were still a little apprehensive based on the main picture. Just thought it would be helpful to say that our apprehension was completely misplaced! Our party included 4 adults and 4 teenagers and, despite some unfortunate weather that left us indoors more than we had hoped, we never felt tight for space. Having all the screened in porches was fantastic. The fire pit and Adirondack chairs were great and despite being so close to center of town, it felt like we were in the wilderness. The sound system was amazing for a cottage!

Nice house but false advertising

Great little house, cozy, great location. THEY DO NOT HAVE A HOT TUB. The jacuzzi bathtub which they advertise as a hot tub cannot be used because there is not enough hot water to fill it. We always look for properties with a hot tub, and this house lists one as an amenity, but does not have one, and has no evidence of ever having one. Other than that it was a great stay

Everything about this place is perfect. We came to town for a weekend ADK golf trip and this location was in perfect proximity to both courses we played. The owners thought of everything to make staying here pleasant and easy. The property was clean upon arrival, easy to get to and there was even ample firewood for our use at the outdoor firepit. The dining room table was a nice touch as it had enough chairs for all 8 of us. The beds were comfortable and the water pressure in the showers was amazing! Would highly recommend this location!!!

Beautiful home, but falsly advertised.

When we booked this stay we filtered our possible choices based on which places had hot tubs. Our options were this home and 2 others. We chose this one because the listing pointed out that it was a short walk to the village. Unfortunately both things were false. There was no hot tub and walking to where the food and shops are would take 25 minutes. In the winter this is not a nice walk. It’s cold, uneven and at night the roads are not lit. It is too dangerous to walk. When we got to the house and realized there was no hot tub we checked the listing and it appears they have removed the hot tub from the listing. There is other reviews stating that the house was advertised as having one, the host responded saying that there never was and VRBO was designating their jet tub as a hot tub. I just wish we were notified after booking that there was no hot tub and allowed to cancel our booking because we would have. The house itself was beautiful. Very cozy and had all the essentials. If you aren’t looking for a place with a hot tub or counting on an easy walk to the village this place isperfect. Only complaint about the inside is the beds are creaky.

About the host

Hosted by Eric and Leanne Burrell

Host profile image
We have been vacationing in Lake Placid for the last thirty years. It is our favorite family vacation spot regardless of the season because there is always something to do.
In addition, we love the international feel of Lake Placid and enjoy meeting people from all over the world.

Why they chose this property

The private setting that is only minutes from downtown Lake Placid is what drew us to this property. Also, we love that it is in the historic Lake Placid Club with access to golf, tennis, and a private beach. We know many of you are concerned about Covid-19 and the effect on Lake Placid. As of May 2020 the village is beginning to open...and plans are underway to close half of Main Street in town to allow businesses to expand into the street and sidewalks. It is beautiful in Lake Placid as I write this and hiking, biking and water sports are still here and waiting for you.

What makes this property unique

Adorable cottage in great setting! Juniper is cozy but big enough for large families and/or groups of couples or friends. Each bedroom has its own bath and private screened in porch. If your feeling adventurous and want to sleep outside bring your sleeping bag and spend your night in the ADK lean-to in the back yard. We fell in love with this cottage the moment we saw it. We're pretty sure you will like it too. Its secluded setting, close proximity to town and just about anything else you plan to do make it the perfect Lake Placid get away.
