We had a wonderful stay at Skate n Ski during Christmas! We loved the beautiful decor in the house - especially all the Christmas touches! - the views of the lake, and the proximity to town and skiiing. Mary was an exceptional host and left the most sweet and thoughtful gifts for our two girls for Christmas. We will surely return for another visit. It is truly a magical place in a winter wonderland setting.

Excellent experience
My family of 6 stayed at Mary's property for Thanksgiving. I based my booking on the reviews...and so should you! First off, the house is SPOTLESS and has everything needed to enjoy your stay. The rooms were all nicely sized, each with their own bathrooms. There were plenty of towels and extra blankets left. The kitchen was well stocked with not only dishes/pots...but garbage bags/cleaning supplies. We didn't need to bring anything but the food. The house itself just feels welcoming. The layout was perfect for my elderly parents...they had everything they needed on the main floor. We all felt at home. The kitchen was perfectly appointed to cook a Thanksgiving dinner. The house felt extremely cozy, yet there was plenty of space to not be on top of everyone. Mary was, without a doubt, the most thoughtful host...ever! She had a large gift basket on the kitchen island filled with snacks and a lovely Thanksgiving card. The house was decorated for Fall and really made us feel that we were welcome. After arrival, Mary text me a list of recommendations for restaurants and attractions since this was our first visit to Lake Placid. She always let me know that she was available if i had any questions or issues. I cannot recommend this property enough...and i hope Mary truly realizes how much her personal touches make her guests feel welcomed when away from home.

Beautiful home + helpful host!
A place to stay that’s a short walk into the main strip of Lake Placid. House was decorated thoughtfully, beds were comfy, view of Whiteface was beautiful, and Mary was super communicative to make sure we had a great time!

Wonderful Home
My family of ten had a wonderful stay at Mary’s home. The house was clean and accommodated the children and adults. We enjoyed the yard and dock with easy access to paddle boarding and kayaking on the lake. The walk to town was short and the youngest, at 5 years old had no problem walking to Main Street. We would absolutely stay here again!

Spacious Home by the Lake
We really enjoyed our stay in this thoughtfully appointed home. Plenty of room for our family to gather for a mini-reunion. We walked to downtown and were close to supermarkets and restaurants.
Thanks for our gracious host for making the place feel like home for our visit.
