We stayed in The Apartment which has its own separate entrance at the back of the Main House. Our carpark allocation was just a few strides to our apartment entrance. There are a few steps to the entry. Tbe Apartment was as advertised and filled our expectations. It is not modern, but old as part of the original home, but that was character to us, and was very clean and everything working just fine. The Apartment gave us the space and privacy we wanted. Great water pressure and enjoyed good hot showers. Breakfast was plenty satisfactory with homemade bagels, bread, butter, cream cheese, jams, fresh fruit, juice, hot drinks etc. You could sit around a communal breakfast table with other guests, but we chose the comfort and solitude of eating in the communal lounge. In warmer weather the option would be to eat outside on the porch.
The owner Carol was friendly and chatted with us about her life there in Lake Placid and its history. Also gave us couple of good recommendations of what to visit in the area.
The House is old so expect some creaks from other guests' movements and bring earplugs as we did if that bothers you.
The location was excellent - about 15 min walk to main centre, and just 5 minutes walk opposite direction was a good corner store where we bought ready-made meals.
I would recommend The Apartment for clean good value accommodation in Lake Placid.
