Wonderful stayâŠproperty is lovely; comfortable, welcoming, impeccably clean and well appointed. Lots of spaces to enjoy and relax and great sleeping options. Fantastic location and walkable to town. Beautiful setting and views. Six adults and fit the bill and exceeded expectations for all!
This is an excellent rental property. The pictures make it look dark and drab inside, but it is actually beautiful inside. We were 3 families, totaling 6 adults and 5 kids, and there was plenty of space for everyone. Loved having 5 full bathrooms. The house is directly on Mirror Lake which is so beautiful and peaceful, as no motor boats are allowed. The house has more boats than listed- 2 kayaks, 1 canoe, 1 paddle board, and 1 paddle boat- plus plenty of life vests in various sizes. That was a pleasant surprise. The map in the listing shows the house on the south side of Mirror Lake, which is where the town of Lake Placid is. But it is actually on the northern tip, about a mile from town- but still walkable, we did it every day. The kitchen was fully stocked, there were plenty of towels, etc., and the beds were comfortable. I would 100% stay here again if I ever make it back to lake Placid. You canât beat it!!
Home was perfect! Beautifully decorated, inviting and relaxing. Location is great, easy walk to restaurants and shopping. There were 11 of us and the home never felt crowded. The lake view is spectacular. We would not hesitate to stay here again.
This is our 2nd year in a row staying at Barbâs place and it was just as great of a stay as last year. The access to the lake and proximity to town and attractions canât be beat. Weâve already booked the trip again for next year.
We lucked out and had beautiful weather while staying at a beautiful and comfortable residence! The hot tub was a lot of fun and the kids loved the two visiting ducks. We loved our stay there. It was great to be with family all in one place.
This house is absolutely gorgeous. It sits on the north end of the lake where it seemed like every day a breeze softly blew in from the water. It has large windows that let in so much beautiful sunlight. It was wonderful to just sit in the chair and read a book with the windows open enjoying that lake breeze.There's so much room here for your family to just spread out. Everyone has their own space. The fishing was great off the dock as we caught several smallmouth bass. The paddle boards, kayak and canoe were also used during the week. The lake is a non-motorized lake, and that makes it a safer, quieter, and even better stay.The Olympic theme through out the house was also very cool! If you are a lacrosse family and you have tournaments in Placid this is most definitely the place to stay. You were just two minutes to the Northwood school and 10 minutes or less to the North Elba athletic fields. There are multiple restaurants for every taste within walking distance in Downtown Placid .Hannaford grocery is less than five minutes away. Lake Placid Marina is less than a quarter of a mile away for all your charter needs. I recommend Cpt. Zack Horrock!We are already making plans to return early next summer. if this property is available for your dates, you need to book it. It truly is a special place that will create memories ! Communication with Barb was simple and easy. She always gave quick responses and answered all of my questions. She is good people.
Our family of 5 adults and 3 children had a wonderful week exploring the area. We enjoyed the lake, outdoor fireplace, hiking and the Olympic Center. The house had everything we needed, and plenty of room for all. Highly recommend staying here!
Location is outstanding!! Comfortable place to stay!! Loved having kayak, paddleboat and canoe. Plenty of space for everyone!!
Minor issue with grill.
This place helped make our first family vacation with our adult children and grandchildren all together very special! We hope to return here !!!
A fun and relaxing stay as always - this clean, well-equipped and perfectly located property is perfect for our family. We can do as little or as much as we want. Canât wait to get back there!
Birches lodge was the perfect place to stay in Lake Placid. We loved being right on Mirror Lake in an amazing house with plenty of room for the 9 of us to relax. The kitchen was well stocked, the interior/exterior of the house was beautiful and clean, and there were plenty of things to keep us entertained, including kayaks, hot tub, outdoor fireplace, games, and common areas for the family to gather. Downtown was an enjoyable walking distance. Wonderful experience!
This beautiful Adirondack home had it all to accommodate our 5 grown children plus significant others. The house is custom built and tastefully decorated along with being ideally situated to walk to all that Lake Placid has to offer. Barb the owner was great to work with. We can't wait to come back!

This vacation property is second to none. Home is absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean, and has every amenity you could imagine. The plentiful Olympic memorabilia throughout the house was fascinating . We enjoyed the enormous deck and hot tub overlooking the lake during the day and fired up the outdoor fireplace as the evenings got cooler. All in all, we came home with some wonderful family memories.
Lake Placid is my favorite vacation destination and Birches Lodge was the perfect spot to share this area with friends. Well stocked kitchen, great layout, close to town, can't really think of anything that could be improved. Barb was very responsive to questions we had throughout our stay.
Would 100% stay here again!
We had a wonderful time at Barbara's home. The location was perfect with a short walk to town. The house was very roomy and fit our family of 9 plus two babies with room to spare. We would love to return again next year for our pre holiday family gathering.
The house was extremely clean, well decorated and was more than enough space for our family of seven. The yard was very well kept and we enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor fireplace. We will definitely be back. Barbara is a wonderful host.
This was our second time staying at Barbaraâs wonderful home. The location is an easy sidewalk walk into town. The house is very comfortable for our large family with 4 small grandchildren. The view of town is magical. We would love to come back!
Another fantastic vacation at Birches Lodge! You canât beat the location right on the lake. The house has so much to offer for our family. This property is so clean too. It is easy to tell that you take pride in keeping the property in top shape. We love coming up to Lake Placid and are so happy with our stay here!
The best spot we could have picked for all of our activities! Everyone was able to sleep comfortably and had everything we could have needed on the house. Walking distance from the places he had booked as well as dining options. Excellent stay!
