Highland Loj is a beautiful spacious home. The home is very clean and has all the amenities you could need. It feels like you are staying in a tree house! The location is close to town and walkable.
The house was perfect for our two family getaway. Bedrooms on three levels made for great separate time and the den and kitchen was perfect for gathering. Location was perfect and it had a great cozy feel inside. Highly recommend.
My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Highland Loj. The home is bigger than the pictures suggest, was well equipped with everything you may want or need for a family stay, and is super conveniently located with a short 5 minute walk to town.
Awesome place. Beautiful down to the smallest details. Great location. Lake Placid is wonderful in the winter. EPIC boot/jacket/gloves/helmet room. Great ski time. All bedrooms were nice. We have 7 adults and three kids 12 and under. Everyone had their own place. Highly Recomended.
Perfect home for our group of 10! The family room, kitchen, and dining area, plus the deck provided us with space to be all together. The lower level, hot tub, firepit and lovely bedrooms allowed for a little separation. The home was extremely clean, and the kitchen was very well stocked for us to cook big dinners 4 nights, and plenty of fun breakfasts together. Our 2 grandchildren loved all the toys, and we all enjoyed the closet full of games! The highchair and kids' dinnerware were very much appreciated. The location was perfect. We felt like we were in the woods, but a quick walk down the hill and we were in the wonderful town and lake area. We enjoyed the beach, the shops, restaurants, coffee and ice cream all within 5-10 minutes. The walk back up the hill was great exercise! The host was so kind and quick to respond to any questions before and during our visit. We couldn't have picked a better place to have our bi-annual family trip. We loved exploring the Adirondak's and Lake Placid area with the hiking and other nature excursions. We did the gondola ride up Little Whiteface, High Falls Gorge, Olympic Center, and highly recommend the Wild Center. Family hikes around Mirror Lake and Brewsters Peninsula were great and some of our group hiked much more challenging trails close by. One of the fun memories from this trip will be the flying squirrels, something we had never heard of, and experienced a couple of times while sitting on the deck at dusk!
What an amazing house! We had 5 adults and 4 young kids and this house was a dream. We went in thinking we would eat around town but the second we say the beautiful kitchen we wanted to make all our meals! The walk to town was easy and the beach is so close. I can’t thank them for an amazing week and recommend this house to anyone and everyone!
We can't say enough good things about this home. The location was perfect...you can walk everywhere. The house was clean, well stocked and beds were very comfortable. It is definitely on the top of the list of any places we have stayed since making our annual trip to Lake Placid in the past 24 years.
If looking for a getaway in Lake Placid, look no further! House is perfect! Includes a hot tub and fire pit. Place was nice and cozy for our Labor Day weekend vacation! We will be back!
The house was exactly as advertised. It was beautiful, clean, and well appointed. It met all of our needs and then some. Every one of our family members throughly enjoyed the house and all it had to offer.
I would stay here again and recommend this house.
Stayed at the Highland Loj for a family girls weekend filled with hiking and spending time together at the house. Wonderful amenities like the hot tub and extremely spacious- with 8 people we felt there was still room to spread out. 5 minute walk to town down Marcy Rd. Would definitely recommend this property to those looking for a relaxing get away in Lake Placid, and would stay here again.
First time to the area for our sons wedding. Was the perfect house for family to gather and we had room for the bride and groom and parties to get ready without seeing each other! It was a fantastic time and the house is in a great location to take advantage of a lot
of touristy things as well
This is the third time we’ve rented this property and it was perfect as always. We love the Adirondack vibe and love that there is enough space to gather but also enough space to be separate. The kitchen is probably the best stocked kitchen I’ve ever seen.
This property was perfect for our annual girls trip! Open living/dining area and so many beds. We walked to town both nights for dinner and drinks. Space was clean and the hot tub was a nice bonus. Don’t even think about renting first week in March each year because we will be back!
Great location, beautiful property, wonderful host. Walk to everything in town. The kitchen and dining and living areas are all open and we spent most of our time at the house in these areas - great for dinner parties and conversation. Same goes for the fire pit - very cozy in the early Fall evenings. The house was very clean and well-kept. We highly recommend Highland Loj.
We had 4 dads and 4 daughters on this trip for a hockey tournament. The house was more than big enough for all of us. It was in great shape and the location was perfect. It was a very short walk down the hill to Main St. and only a couple blocks away from the hockey arenas. The girls had a great time hanging out mostly on the first floor together and really enjoyed the hot tub. The owners/agents were very easy to work with and the house was ready to go when we got there. It was a very easy check-in/check-out process. We couldn't ask for more and if we're lucky maybe we can rent again next time we're up here for hockey.
We had a wonderful stay and were visiting for a ski weekend. I would definitely stay again. The location is very convenient. The home is large, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The inside of the home was very clean and well enough maintained. The hot tub was a little smelly and needed to be cleaned, unfortunately.
We cooked two dinners in the house. The kitchen is a good size and is well equipped. Oddly, the oven includes a thermometer that simply measures “warm” or “hot”, but without any actual numbers. Next time, I’ll bring a leave-in thermometer.

Dream Home
What a gorgeous, warm and welcoming place to stay! We rented the house for the IRONMAN 70.3 weekend and it's minutes away from the main town (and race start if you are doing an event). The four bedrooms, with four bathrooms, gave everyone their own space and privacy. The kitchen is high end. The living room, with window seats and a real fireplace (wood included), is the most peaceful place to relax. The outside deck and BBQ are great for social time - as is the outdoor fire pit (although I wished it was real. It is electric). And don't get me started on the hot tub. What a treat!
It was like we had a spa weekend even as we worked out. I highly recommend this home for your stay in Lake Placid.
Food wise - check out SMOKE SIGNALS, and get a reservation at JIMMY'S 21 (as for a window seat overlooking the lake!) The food and beer at BIG SLIDE BREWERY were also worth the trip. Enjoy!

Thank you so much for your kind review! It was a difficult choice between propane and an open wood fire pit. We decided due to safety reasons in our highly wooded area in town to go with propane. Again, thank you for your thoughtful points in your review. It really means a lot to us!
We stayed here for the Ironman race and loved being close to town so we did not have to worry about driving, especially race day. While there is a quite the hill to walk up, it was nothing compared to 140.6 miles! The house is well equipped and beds were comfortable. This is a great spot for your Lake Placid plans!
