About this property

Walk to Town, Fire Pit, Hot Tub, Grand Open Family Room, Gourmet Kitchen, Grill

If you are looking for a private escape to enjoy all the outdoor recreation that the beautiful Adirondack Mountains and Lakes have to offer, but want the convenience of being in the heart of the historic Lake Placid village, you have found your match!

Highland Loj is a unique home tucked away on a high hill overlooking the village of Lake Placid with filtered views of Whiteface Mountain and Mirror Lake and views of Cascade and Big Slide from the dining room side windows. It has the feel of living in a tree house! Although very private, it is only a few minutes walk to Main St., which boasts many outstanding restaurants, shops, and a multi-theater movie house. You will also enjoy Olympic History at your doorstep. For hockey fans and ice skaters, you are only two blocks from the 'Miracle on Ice' arena and four blocks from the ice rink where Eric Heiden won his gold!

In the winter, enjoy riding the bobsled, skiing the cross-country trails at the Olympic center on Mt. Van Hoevenberg, or skiing the Olympic downhill and Super G trails at Whiteface Mountain. In the summer, the Mirror Lake beach is only a short walk away; world-class hiking, rock climbing, fishing and other lake activities like paddle boarding on Mirror Lake, as are world class guides and gear.

In addition to privacy, the mountain/lake view and having the best location for Lake Placid entertainment, Highland Loj is a lovely “home away from home” for your family and friends. As previous reviewers have said, it has great charm and a “WOW Factor”. The layout of the home provides the ability to be together in the large open cathedral ceiling great room, but also gives your family and friends their own space in the three floor layout of the bedrooms and bathrooms.

Adjoined to this large family area, the gourmet kitchen has a Wolf Range, Asko dishwasher, granite countertops and is fully equipped with cookware and dish-ware. On the main level, there are also two comfy window seats available to take in the views and a large deck to enjoy the outdoors. There is plenty of seating with a wood burning fireplace, flat screen TV, premier cable, blu-ray player, and high speed internet. A bedroom and en-suite bath completes this level with a king-sized bed and private deck.

You enter the home on the lower level, which has an attractive entryway for all your boots and jackets. There is a bedroom with a queen bed and a bunk bed which has a full-sized bottom bunk adjoining another family room with another flat screen TV, premier cable, blu-ray player and a classic mini Nintendo system. In addition, there is a full bath with natural slate floor and shower, a game room with a foosball table, a laundry room, a deck with a 6 person hot tub to enjoy. In the backyard, there is also a lean-to and fire-pit.

The upper level provides two more bedrooms. The master bedroom boasts a king-size bed, en-suite tumbled marble and limestone bath, a private deck with mountain and lake views, and a sleeping loft. The second bedroom has an en-suite tumbled marble bath with a queen-size bed. You will find our mattresses and furnishing all more than comfortable. There are a/c units on the main level and upper bedrooms for the summer months. You can be sure that all bedding is sanitized on a regular basis and we are taking proper COVID-19 safety cleaning measures.

The Adirondacks are, without a doubt, the premier mountain experience in the Northeast! Highland Loj provides the full package for this experience. You will not be disappointed!

Why they chose this property

We love Lake Placid and the Adirondacks. There are many different activities and much beauty to enjoy during every season. Bob is an ADK 46er, skier, and grew up hiking these beautiful mountains. Deb loves fishing, being on the lake, beach, and walking the path around Mirror Lake. Our family loves to hike, ski/snowboard, walk the village, fish, snowshoe, ice skate, and cross country ski. This home is a special place for our whole family to enjoy this outdoor playground.

What makes this property unique

The open floor plan of the great room with its beautiful kitchen and long dining room table make it a perfect place to gather together as family and friends. Plus the three level layout of the 4 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms provides the ability to have your own space as well. Lastly, the private treehouse feel of the home with the convenience of the village makes it a special vacation getaway.
