Placid Chalet -Unique, Private, & Walking Distance to Town
You have lots of space to enjoy! Placid Chalet has two floors of comfort and roominess for your Lake Placid get away. The kitchen is open to the dining and living room. The home has beams throughout the home and the balconies make it a one of a kind home. When coming to Lake Placid you want the feel of a true ADK get away and Placid Chalet has this inside and out.
The two balconies are great hideaways for a morning cup of coffee or a get away reading nook.
Placid Chalet also has a large attached deck connected to the main living room with a magnificent forest view and cozy furniture. It expands the living space greatly.
There is a large TV with cable access and apps.
We are less than a quarter mile to the nearest restaurant and .4 miles to the movie theater. Walking to town is so close, fast, and enjoyable. The Jack Rabbit Trail is behind the house for exploring- you will just need to go to the outlet of the trail that is close by. VRBO shows that the property is 1 mile to city center. I am .4 miles- a quick walk up the street, across a park, and down to the center of Main Street, the heart of the village. This village area is the most desired in Lake Placid.
This house has unparalleled privacy on a one acre lot- something seldom found in other village properties. This makes Placid Chalet so unique. There is much parking on a horseshoe driveway with additional parking spaces. No need to shuffle cars. If you have a boat or trailer, this gives you such ease in parking. But take note, Lake Placid only allows 3 guest cars.
The entire house has ADK flair inside and out with unique handmade Adirondack art and furnishings.
Bring your kayaks! Two free Lake Placid boat launches are so close with ample free parking. Mirror Lake also has easy launching at the public beach. The public beach is walking distance and has lifeguards on duty in the summer.
Towels, sheets, soaps and shampoos are provided. The kitchen is well stocked for your staples for your cooking needs. There are also BBQ utensils and a large clam pot.
There is an assortment of figure skates/hockey skates in the basement for guest use. Also, in winter, there are an assortment of snow shoes to explore- especially the JackRabbit Trail!

We had a fabulous stay in the beautiful Placid Chalet. Everything we needed was there. Cathy went above and beyond to make our stay warm and welcoming, and communicated with us throughout our stay. The chalet was spacious, immaculately clean, and very comfortable. The location is great with a 5 minute drive to town and 15 minute drive to White Face. We would happily stay again for our next trip to Lake Placid.
Cathy was so friendly and helpful. House was cozy and clean. The beds and pillows were comfortable and the house has everything you could want and more!
Easy/frequent communication, clean place, great location (walkable to town), worked out perfect for a couple of us for staying during Lake Placid lacrosse tournament.
The property was very nice, relatively close to town and other attractions. It was very spacious and could have handled another family in addition to ours. The owner was very good at communicating and the check in/out was seemless. Would definitely stay here again.

Second time staying here. Everything was perfect just like the last time. We love the location being close to Main Street but still having a private yard. The house is very clean, comfortable, and inviting. Love it here!

I am so happy you had a superb time! I love 4th of July in Placid! Thank you also for going above and beyond as being great guests!
This house is lovely and well equipped. We appreciated the clealiness and comfort of the home. The owners were accessible and very helpful with answering questions both before and during the vacation. Best of all was the quiet woodsy settiing, still walking distance to town but feeling quite remote as you sit on the porch and look into the woods or toast marshmallows in the fire pit. 10 out of 10!
We had 3 adult couples staying here. The home is super cute with great attention to detail! Incredibly clean, very spacious…we come to LP often and will definitely keep this place in mind for future trips. The host was also incredibly kind and accommodating! A nice walk to Main St puts you right in the action but with plenty of peaceful privacy at the house!

Thank you Tania and friends for being such super guests! I do hope you come back!
This property has everything, including 5 pairs of snowshoes, which were put to good use on the Jack Rabbit Trail! The house was nicely decorated for Christmas, immaculate, well organized, cozy, convenient, and had a well stocked kitchen. The beds were also very comfortable. It was a perfect size for our group of ten. Looking forward to a return trip here for a Lake Placid summer experience in the future!

AMAZING! Lake Placid Guru!
Warm blankets galure, Adirondack theme, and left a beautiful gift basket! The owner gave tips on how to explore the town, and truly made my 30th birthday weekend. I feel so blessed!

Erin,
Thank you and your guests for being such great guests. It was a really wintery weekend and you guys got the full winter effect! Thank you for leaving the house so tidy and clean. Happy belated birthday!

They say love is in the details and that is exactly what awaits you at the Placid Chalet. From nice sheets & exceptionally clean showers and bathrooms to a well appointed kitchen & patios and decks with everything you need to relax outdoors- no detail was overlooked. The Placid Chalet has fun decor from the Adirondack area and Olympic highlights. We had 8 in our party and had plenty of room for everyone to enjoy their stay. We can’t wait to come back!!

Judy and guests were fantastic! When I walked in, it was the way I left it! They took great care of the home and also were super communicators. I am so pleased that they liked the home and noticed all that I do to try to make it a great stay! I truly just want people to love it the way I do! I hope to host them again!
We are frequent visitors to Lake Placid and our time at the Chalet could not have been any better! The outside was perfect with multiple levels to hang out, including a fire pit. The decks provide great views, the colors are great this time of year. The inside worked very well for playing games with plenty of space for us 4 adults, 5 kids). The house was also well stocked with anything we needed for cooking. Cathy is great to communicate with, she made everything so easy. Highly recommend!

Hi guys- thank you so much for this positive review- I am truly happy you liked your stay. I hope you come back. Thank you for being great guests!
This was an amazing house! Everything about it was easy from check in to cleanliness to distance to the mountain. It is definitely a nice walk into town in the Spring summer and fall. The house was decorated beautifully and gave us that Adirondack feel. Loved the lights outside and all the décor inside. Got a great welcome basket and very helpful binder with hints as well as a great review of all the restaurants in the area. Thank you for such a great stay. We definitely want to come back. We have never been there any time beside the Winter but would love to come when the weather is warmer to enjoy the lakes and beautiful setting. 5 stars!!!
Some friends from college and I stayed here for a weekend getaway and to celebrate my birthday. I have to say the weekend was amazing. The house was even bigger than what I expected from the pictures. There was plenty of common hang out spaces, while also giving everyone their own personal space as well. The location was also great. Easy to find and very close to the hustle and bustle of main street, but felt secluded enough that we had our own private space and weren't on top of neighbors. The house came with everything we needed for the weekend. The only downside was that our schedules didn't allow us to stay longer. Will definitely be back to Placid and hope to stay here again upon my return.
Everything was as advertised. Like most of LP, the walk to Main St is very hilly.
3 bathrooms worked out great, open floor plan has tons of room on main and lower levels.
The place was clean, comfortable and great for our needs. Unfortunately the high humidity was unforeseen for the area as we suffered a few nights of restless sleep in high room temperatures. We left the place as we found it and followed the closing instructions to a T. Home owner presented us with a nice welcoming basket of goods with a handwritten card wishing us a nice stay.
The house was great. Large open kitchen, living room and dinning room area. Makes it easy to talk and mingle with people. The lower level is a great place to hang out outside and play games. Our stay was excellent. Definitely would come back. The location to town was nice a close. Quick trips every where.
The property was clean, spacious and provided enough room for larger groups while allowing for privacy when needed. The house was welcoming and we were able to find whatever we needed especially with regard to the kitchen. The location was perfect to walk to Main Street, and I would definitely stay again if I had the occasion to be in Lake Placid!
We had a wonderful time at the Placid Chalet! The house was beautiful and immaculate. We spent a lot of time on on the deck and it was delightful. The location was great. I would definitely recommend this property to others looking for a place to stay in Lake Placid.
We thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent at Placid Chalet. The house was spacious and welcoming from the time you walked through the door. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need and the welcome gift basket was so appreciated.. Both kids and adults enjoyed the trail behind the house. Would definitely rent this home again!

About the host
Hosted by Cathleen
I have always loved Lake Placid. It was always the place I would take vacations and short weekend trips with the family since 1980’s. Here I fell in love with Lake Placid’s European-like charm and small town friendliness. Not to mention, endless year round activities here in Lake Placid make this a four season playground!
I recently purchased this home and can not live permanently there yet, so until I do I would like to share my home and love of Lake Placid with others!
Why they chose this property
This home has much character and Adirondack charm from the beamed ceilings and gorgeous bedroom balconies. It has great open space inside for friendly gathering. But also, additional space to have privacy. The yard provides much space to play and explore. Best yet, it is a quick walk to the busy Main Street. If you are looking for a Lake Placid- Adirondack experience- you should check out Placid Chalet!
What makes this property unique
It is located on an acre of land which gives the home great privacy in the village. The neighbors are well secluded from us unlike most village homes.
