About this property

Shore Crest, Lake Placid Historic Home, Steps from Main Street with Lake View

Spend down time in this luxury downtown five bedroom historic old Shore Crest Retreat, a newly renovated turn of the 19th century off Main Street residence, once the home to Olympic participants. A stone's throw away from Main Street and Mirror Lake, this spacious and very private rental offers all the amenities that an ideally situated downtown location can offer without the hustle and bustle of Main Street.

From its large sitting room with original stone fireplace and wood paneling, walk out on its grand porch to lake and mountain views, July’s fireworks celebration and show almost in your lap, access to restaurants, shopping, and free shuttle service to must-see destinations. The Olympic Arena, Convention Center, ice skating rink, local movie theater, and public beach are within immediate walking distance of this, your rental. Ironman competition and participation couldn’t be any more convenient. Just one hundred feet from your front door to Main Street, catch the free Mountain Valley Shuttle Service for skiers and riders to Whiteface Mountain and ski resort.
Free weekly concerts all summer (see photo of Rusted Root performing) at the band shell in Mid's Park are right there for your pleasure from the comfortable vantage point of our veranda.

Renovations to and remodeling of this vintage home were completed in June of 2011. Each bedroom suite is fitted with its own full sized tiled bathroom and multiple sleeping accommodations. The master bedroom suite also has an additional small room with trundle sofa bed and a screened in sleeping porch overlooking Mirror Lake, Mount Marcy and the distant mountain range. This stately grand home is tastefully decorated with antique and Mission style lighting, hardwood floors, ample closet and storage space, an open living and connecting dining room, a fully equipped eat in kitchen with cherry cabinets, maple butcher block counter tops, high tech appliances, all tiled showers, and a laundry room with a washer and dryer. Simply and tastefully furnished with oriental rugs and antique furniture, this comfortably fitted home with all its amenities also offers convenient and ample off street parking. This mainstream Main Street home affords you the ability to park your vehicle for the duration of your stay unless you were to drive the fifteen minutes to Whiteface Mountain or other nearby attractions. Its attached one bedroom apartment (VRBO #652809) can also be rented separately or with the Main house to sleep an additional 4 guests.

Come visit in this unique situation and quaint setting in the heart of downtown Lake Placid, a great getaway for up to 14 people and newly built for your comfort, convenience and enjoyment. Location, Location, Location!

A fabulous place to stay in downtown Lake Placid
A beautiful, well appointed and exceptionally suited house for large gatherings. We came to see the eclipse and were blown away by every detail in this house. The pictures don't do it justice! Every bedroom was gorgeous and comfortable.

Can/Am Lake Placid Pond Hockey
Shore Crest was a great place for our team and spouses to stay during the tournament. House is wonderful and accommodated all of our needs. Great location and walking distance to the pond for our tournament. The central location to dining and bars is perfect.

Ski Trip!
Awesome location for a long weekend in Lake Placid! We skied at Whiteface and staying in the village of Lake Placid was a great decision. The house was as advertised!

Lake Placid Family Fun
After enjoying family vacations in Lake Placid for years, we wanted to share the beauty of the town with our extended family. Shorecrest was the perfect location for all of us to enjoy family time together. Close to both the village and lake we couldn’t have asked for a better spot. Every family having their own room and bathroom gave everyone private space as well as open areas to enjoy together. Plus the view of sunset over the mountains was nothing short of heavenly. We feel so blessed to have found Shorecrest and to have had such a special spot to make memories in! Our only wish is that we could’ve stayed longer!

About the host

Hosted by Madeleine Killeen

Host profile image
As antiques dealers for over 30 years, we have applied our many years of experience in the decorative arts into restoring and decorating what was once and is again an elegant Mission style home. We have retained what we could of the home's honesty but have modernized it for today's market and livability. As a result, once referred to as the 'Bumstead House' and serving as an Inn for many of the 1930's Olympic participants, Shore Crest has retained its original wood paneling, hardwood floors, and stone fireplace, and has been lovingly restored to its old glory.

Why they chose this property

We had been vacationing in Lake Placid for years and thought that the best of all worlds could be had in the purchase of a home that was as convenient to all amenities as this one was and is.

What makes this property unique

LOCATION. Location just off Main Street with an incredible view can't be beat particularly without the slight hustle and bustle of the main thoroughfare through town.
