Price improvement just in time for ski season. Set in iconic Lake Placid—two-time host of the Winter Olympics—this turn-key log cabin is the quintessential Adirondack ski retreat.
Whether you're seeking a classic ski cabin, a four-season Adirondack getaway, or an investment in one of the most iconic mountain towns in America, this Lake Placid retreat delivers timeless charm, comfort, and location.
Close to Main Street, it offers the rare combination of peaceful seclusion and easy access to Lake Placid's renowned shops, restaurants, cafés, and local favorites.
Designed for year-round enjoyment, this mountain escape shines brightest in winter, with Whiteface Mountain downhill skiing nearby, extensive cross-country ski networks, and miles of local trails including the Adirondack Rail Trail, John Brown Farm Trails, Henry's Woods, and more. In every season, Lake Placid delivers championship-level recreation, rich history, and small-town charm.
Offered fully furnished, the cabin radiates authentic Adirondack character throughout. A covered porch, expansive deck, and inviting fire-pit area create ideal spaces for après-ski gatherings or summer evenings under the stars.
Inside, the open-concept living, kitchen, and dining area features cathedral ceilings and sun-filled windows, creating a warm and welcoming cabin ambiance. The eat-in kitchen is fully equipped for effortless entertaining.
The main level includes two spacious bedrooms and a full bath. Upstairs, an open loft overlooks the living area and leads to two additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom—perfect for hosting family and friends. An unfinished walk-out basement with high ceilings offers excellent storage or future potential for expanded living space.
