About this property
The Bear's Cottage on Mirror Lake Drive, Lake Placid, New York
A luxury stay is awaiting you at the Bear's Cottage on Mirror Lake Drive in the Village of Lake Placid under the Short-Term Rental Permit STR-200013. You have a tranquil, wooded setting next to a small pond with your own private fire-pit. This is a 5-star cabin and great for a single or a couple wanting to be a part of Lake Placid, with a short 15- minute walk around Mirror Lake brick to the center of the village. So close but also private enough to unwind. You also have your own private drive to access your accommodations as well as plenty of room to park you boat or snowmobile trailer.
With this location you can enjoy the many attractions and activities this Olympic Village & the surrounding Adirondacks has to offer such as Whiteface Mountain, Mirror Lake (directly across Mirror Lake drive), Lake Placid Winter Olympic Museum, Mid's Park, Olympic ski jumping, bobsled, tobogganing, luge, hiking trails, zip-lining, skiing, cross country skiing, snowmobiling and many excellent restaurants. You even have a front row seat to the swim, bike and run of our famous Iron Man races. You can also have a private bonfire to toast marsh mellows just outside your door. Flat-screen TV with cable channels is provided as well as Wi-Fi. In-cabin dining is easy with amenities like refrigerator, stove and upscale silverware and place settings. Concierge services are provided, and cabin dinners can be arranged as an added cost. Premium bedding with freshly ironed sheets invites a comfortable night's sleep, and you'll find nice touches like free toiletries.

About the host
Hosted by Pam Clyde-Davis
Pam and Jim have owned commercial real estate for 25+ years. They have resided in Lake Placid since the late 90's and have owned and resided on the property on Mirror Lake Drive that the Bear's Cottage sits on since 2003. They thoroughly enjoy meeting and hosting the guests acting as their concierge in helping them to have a memorable visit during their stay in Lake Placid and the surrounding Adirondacks.
Why they chose this property
The Bear's Cottage provides luxuries and a 5 Star, first class accommodations that most top flight hotels used to supply pre-COVID. The Cottage is in a secluded, solitary living environment in a park-like setting and a short walk along Mirror Lake drive to the Village center of Lake Placid.
What makes this property unique
On occasional Saturday nights throughout the summer from June into September we host singer/songwriters from around the country to play in our backyard amphitheater like-setting to sing and tell their stories behind the songs that they have written. Many of these songwriters are from Nashville and have written #1 or top of the chart hits and/or have opened for top artists while they are touring. This is an opportunity to be in an intimate setting up close and personal with these artists.
