We absolutely loved our stay at the Highland Cottage. The check in process could not have been easier, we were greeted to such a clean space with homemade cookies waiting for us. The cottage does so much with the space, it felt so comfortable! It was incredibly well stocked with a full spice rack, pots, pans, butter, extra bedding, games. Everything you could want and more. Cathy and Ted were so welcoming and a pleasure to talk to. We were grateful to have met them and hear about the history of their Cottage and Inn. It was walking distance from anything in the village, we didn’t use the car other than to drive to our hiking trailheads. When looking to plan a return trip to Lake Placid, we will work around dates that will allow us to stay at the cottage again. I can’t imagine staying elsewhere in the future. Thank you, Highland Cottage!

Lake Placid Cottage Stay

Super cute, quaint cottage a close walk to Main Street in Lake Placid. It was much bigger than we anticipated. We enjoyed our stay. Bed is upstairs in a loft, so we had to basically crawl in and out of it but we didn’t mind. Loved the bathroom, kitchen, and living room area. Perfect for a getaway. Highly reccommend staying here.

Slice of heaven

Highland cottage is a beautiful slice of lake placid. This is my second time staying here and I will definitely come again. It is walking to main Street and a short drive to the high peaks. Lots of amenities.

We stayed here with my family for Lake Placid Ironman and this place is perfect for it. It comfortably suit our family of 4 (my wife, myself and our two kids age 5 and 8) plus my TT bike and all my triathlon gear. Cathy, the host, is great and responds quickly to messages. I would stay here again for sure.

Restful stay amid lakes and mountains.

An amazing transformation from a single-story building to a three level, comfortable, spacious cabin, filled with solid wood furnishings in a rustic Adirondack style. Many pieces are of antique quality. Modern appliances, all the dishes, pans etc. you could want complete the picture. The property is on a quiet lane, off a road, surrounded by trees. This makes it very quiet. A three-minute walk down Marcy Street takes you to Lake Placid high street, where there are many shops, bars and restaurants. (It is better to walk back on Hillcrest after dinner, as this is the least steep option!) There is a paved sidewalk around Mirror Lake with many fine views. At just under three miles, it is the perfect stroll to wake up in the morning, or to work up an appetite at night. Hannaford is a large supermarket just outside of town, with a huge range of artisan, organic, free range etc. products. Aldi at Saranac Lake has a smaller range, but also good quality, and is rather less expensive. I had a great time here and feel “recharged.” Thanks Cathy and Ted. Oh, and the cookies were delicious!

Location location location

This place is perfectly located to enjoy all Main Street has to offer without having to find parking. Walked to everything. The “bedroom” was the only thing that we didn’t like. It’s a tiny little loft space more suitable for a kid to sleep so we slept on the couch. Bathroom was great, kitchen worked well. Will be back

Amazing Stay

Highland Cottage is a great local stay in Lake Placid. Yes, the bed is up in the loft and you can’t stand up, but that was no issue for us. We loved the place and will be back.

What a wonderful stay!

The Highland Cottage is adorable and fitted with everything you could possibly need. Catherine was attentive and flexible with requests. The location is perfect for walking to shops, bars and restaurants as long as you’re okay with the hill. For us, it was a great workout and a fabulous vacation!
