Waterfront, Hot Tub, 5 minutes to Whiteface and pet friendly!

“Everest Dream” is where the Bluebirds play!

This Perfect Ski and Waterfront Rental Home offers truly Five Star Accommodations and is located only three miles from Olympic Whiteface Mountain!

It is a two story, 3 bedroom home. It has been designed and furnished with comfort and aesthetics in mind! Our careful selection includes antiques, contemporary pieces and original artifacts from around the world. The richness of the Earth tones welcomes all with its warmth and is in harmony with the surrounding nature.

The casual elegance and comfort of this house makes for a very special experience of Town and Country. 'Everest Dream' is nestled in a valley, in the village of Wilmington , providing breathtaking views of both Whiteface and Stephenson Ranges. It sits on an Acre of private, that is predominantly fenced in with one natural border (vegetation and shore) that includes over 80 feet of shoreline and a private dock on Everest Lake. Favorite among our guest is the 140 square foot fully screened, overlooking water gazebo! Furnished with luxury and comfort in mind.

We are in the heart of the High Peak Region and at the foot of Whiteface Olympic Mountain. Renowned West Ausable River with its' World Class trout fishing is our shoreline. Here you can swim, fish or launch the canoe or kayaks available for you to use - for a mellow paddle or some serious bird watching! Lake Everest Beach with live summer concerts is just across the river. Some prefer to sit on the dock and chat or watch the water roll by. Perhaps later in the evening you'll stoke a fire in one of the two fire pits. The large yard is great for playing croquet, play with children or your animal friends.

In Wilmington, you can submerge in the unique experience of an authentic Adirondack Village. Walking to the store, village library or for a country breakfast at a nearby restaurant brings back the joys of a time gone by in most places but lingers here in the Adirondacks. Lake Placid Village with all that it has to offer is just ten miles away on the most picturesque road of the Adirondacks. Here you can enjoy shopping, dining, arts and crafts, museums, The Olympic Center, golf and mini golf, horse shows, movies, festivals, nightlife, ... or 'in short' - hustle and bustle of this special, lively Olympic Village.

Ground Floor:

An Adirondack style porch, furnished in a comfortable, eclectic manner welcomes all! Perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee while watching the mist lift off the mountains, or sip the wine to the evening serenade of cicadas.

Our living room opens up to a majestic, ever changing vista of the Mountains. The easy comfort of a couch and armchairs invites to become one with nature. After the sun goes down one can be entertained by choosing from our collection of movies, music or books. The gas fireplace will add a warmth to the ambiance of the room as well as the people in it.

The antique dinner table sits eight, with room for two more at the kitchen island. Perfect place for the whole family to have an evening of card games, monopoly or good old-fashioned conversation. The kitchen is a state of the art affair. You'll find all the tools and gadgets needed for preparing magnificent meals, few cookbooks as well.

For summer cooking you may want to step out to the deck. There is a gas grill, picnic table and Adirondack chairs grace the beautiful lawn.

Our outdoor six person Hot Tub is everybody's favorite spot.

In our study you'll be surrounded and perhaps inspired by an interesting collection of art, books, or the glow of candle light. By night the queen size futon and hand embroidered screen from India transform it into a comfortable bedroom for two.

The ground floor bedroom, furnished with a casual, country elegance, provides a Queen Size Bed and is easily accessible for those who don't care to climb the stairs.

The main floor has a bathroom with a bathtub.

Second Floor:

The Master Bedroom is truly Masterful! A Queen Size Four Post Bed with a red canopy invites romance and the creation of special memories. The room is inviting and elegant with oriental touches, like the 17th century Chinese traveling chest.

For the little and big kids - a sunny room for happy times! Two sets of bunk beds, where the lower full size bunk folds into a couch during the day. The room is bright with color and hand-made art work from Guatemala.

Bathroom with a shower.

Great Family Getaway
The place was exactly as pictured and described. The owner is extremely easy to communicate with. The fact that it has an overlook of the water with comfortable lawn furniture, a beautiful hot tub, large gazebo, a large lawn, a gas grill, games, a few minutes walk from a playground, and a few minutes drive from Whiteface and mountain climbing - made this the perfect family weekend for our family. The house is well stocked with anything guests could want/need. The place was very clean. Thank you Jen for all of your attention to detail.

Everest Dream
First thing I want to say is my husband and I had a wonderful vacation. The view from the dock was amazing. The kitchen was up to date with plenty of room for a family meal. The bedrooms were cozy and comfortable. There was a problem with the master bedroom air conditioner and our host Jen and Rich heard our concerns and replaced it the next evening. The hot tub seats 4 and would have been perfect for the two of us, but only half of the jets were working. Our host Rich came out to check on it the next evening, but was not able to fix it himself. There was also a problem with pieces of shingles coming off the roof, which were scattered around the hot tub area. We enjoyed the huge lawn with a nice fire pit.

Had a great time!
We just stayed at the property this past week, and loved it. Our first time visiting this area with our two teen boys and German Shepard. We were able to walk the town safely, played some basketball in the local park, fished, swam in the water out back and enjoyed the property grounds and hot tub. Everything was very clean, well stocked and you had everything you could need. Lake Placid was close by and we took a trip over there for a few items we wanted to pickup. The small convenience store was great to have right around the corner and the pizza place two doors down had some great food. Thanks again to the hostess. We loved it

Perfect 50th celebration base camp !
We had a lovely long weekend at Jennifer’s property - the amenities are perfect. We were a group of 6 women and had plenty of room. The property has so many little areas - hot tub, outdoor dining, fire pit, seats by the river and a screened in porch by the river too - making. Larger group easy. The host was easy and pleasant to communicate with - I’m sure we will be back!

Great rental for weekend getaway
A small group of friends, myself, and my two dogs stayed here to watch the solar eclipse. The spacious backyard was the perfect place for eclipse viewing and the small town was close enough to Lake Placid for a morning shopping trip but far enough away to avoid the traffic. The house itself has GORGEOUS views, a relaxing hot tub (perfect for after a long hike), and a fully equipped kitchen. Overall it was the perfect home away from home to spend a long weekend.

Had such a blast! The house has such a great theme - so comfortable in every room and the outside is private with a lot of yardage as the backyard opens to the riverbank, so many places to find and chill to make perfect memories as the clouds come cascading over views of Whiteface mountain…can’t wait to go back!

Great place for fishing & hiking.
We enjoyed hiking every day from the nearby trailheads, as well as fishing for trout in the backyard, kayaking and canoeing. The place is an outdoorsy heaven. My only advice is to make a stop early on in Lake placid for groceries (about 20 minutes away). Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Great place to stay in Adirondacks.
Large, well maintained property with easy access to the river. Plenty of places for lawn activities, enjoying a fire or watching the river. Short walk to a small market, bridge over the river and a really nice playground. We visited Whiteface mountain, Lake Placid and the wild center in Tupper Lake. All very managable drives from Wilmington. A very charming home, with enough space, even for our party of eight. Jen was easy to contact and quick to respond. We experienced a broken paddle for the canoe, and she had a replacement delivered, no questions asked. We would definitely stay here again.

Cozy house in the Adirondacks with lots to do in the area
Our family of 4 adults and 2 teenagers had a wonderful stay at "Everest Dream". We loved hanging out on the deck overlooking the river, and the screened in gazebo was the perfect quiet spot to read a book or take a nap where the bugs can't get to you! We enjoyed using the fire pit at night for s'mores, the corn hole game, and the hot tub as well. The house was beautifully decorated and had most things that we needed. We appreciated the large rack of hooks and cubbies by the front door for all our coats, hoodies and shoes. The dining table was a bit of a tight fit for all 6 of us to sit around and still be able to access the fridge and walk around the table, but we made use of the outdoor picnic table on the patio as well. Although we didn't realize that the house is located right downtown in Wilmington, you easily forget that you are near other properties when hanging in the large backyard. Wilmington is a short drive to the town of Lake Placid, which has tons of cute shops and restaurants. Highly recommend Lisa G's! We had a wonderful dinner there for Father's Day that was excellent. We also enjoyed visiting High Falls Gorge and Ausable Chasm. Jennifer was a great host and answered any questions that I had. We would love to return to this area of the Adirondacks again, it was so beautiful!
