"Our Sisters Weekend at Snowshoe Cottage was absolutely perfect, and your beautiful home played such a big part in that. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and comfortable. Every detail, from the cozy decor to the peaceful setting, created the ideal atmosphere for laughter, stories, and cherished memories. It's clear how much love and care you've poured into this Cottage. We appreciated how spotless and thoughtfully stocked everything was. It truly felt like home. The warmth and charm of Snowshoe Cottage will stay with us long after we've left Lake Placid. Thank you for sharing this special place with us. We're leaving with full hearts, grateful for your hospitality and this wonderful experience. ♥️."

"One of the best AirBnB s we have ever stayed in. The house was in a great location right on Mirror Lake and walkable to town. Kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed using canoes and paddle boards on the lake. Communication was great."

"Smallish older house with modern upgrades (baths, kitchen, etc.) Quiet location easy walking distance to town. Very close to but not quite on the lake, with great view lines to the lake. Boathouse, which contains canoes and kayaks, etc., is right on the lake and has a finished and furnished upstairs with wi-fi that we used as an office. House is well maintained and furnished with a lot of thought and care. Comes with every toy - from kayaks, canoes and bicycles to puzzles, books and games. Owner was very communicative and obviously takes a lot of pride in the place. Highly recommend for one or two couples or a small family."

"Snowshoe Cottage provides every amenity you need to have a relaxing and fun experience vacation. The setting is beautiful and the included boathouse was one of the best features. We canoed, kayaked and paddle boarded on lovely mirror lake. A short walk to town, restaurants and shops have lots to explore."

"The snowshoe cottage is excellent. Had walked by many times while in Lake Placid. The cottage itself was a nice blend of classic Adirondack and modern convenience. The location and boathouse are fantastic in their own right- I would have stayed in the boathouse myself if not for having young children to keep an ear out for. Highly recommend."

"Really tailored for an absolutely exceptional stay. Michelle remembered to include everything we could possibly need. The boathouse was our favorite. So charming and a perfect entry to Mirror Lake.
The neighbors were doing a lot of work on their house which was very noisy over two days but this is not something anyone would expect control over - just wish the timing was different."

"The cottage was as beautiful in person as it was in the pictures! My family and I loved our stay and will surely come back in the future. Michelle was a great host, quick to respond and very accommodating. We enjoyed the canoes, kayaks and SUPs provided in the boat house. Great new memories made!"

"The Snowshoe Cottage is delightful. The house is comfortable and cozy and having the boathouse—the kayaks, canoes, floats, and paddles—was incredible.  Our young kids loved every minute of it. Thanks!"

"Snowshoe cottage is a little gem on mirror lake. It a charming updated hunting cabin from the 1900s, with historic charm maintained while modern updates were added. The rustic Adirondack decor completes the ambience. The little boathouse is right in the lake, and just a few steps along a grassy right of way. Walkable to downtown but still quiet … wake up to loons on the lake."

"Snowshoe Cottage is a Lake Placid vacation gem and Michelle and Mark are the most gracious and accommodating hosts. The location is superb, just a short walk to town, but far enough away that you can truly appreciate the calm and beauty of Mirror Lake: wake early, make a cup of coffee and head down to the boat house for a paddle on a canoe or kayak; sit on the dock in the evening and relax with a glass of wine while taking in the backdrop of mountains and night skies. No detail is spared here, the pillows are plush, the blankets are soft, there are activities for sunny days and plenty to do if it rains (books and games galore!). Our young children adore the bunk room and the magic it holds, and of course, the fun afforded by close access to the lake. Fishing, swimming, and paddling each and every day! You will be hard-pressed to find a spot that checks as many boxes as Snowshoe Cottage. We hope to come back again and again!"

"Snowshoe Cottage couldn't be more perfect. The location is amazing, views are to die for and there is absolutely nothing that you need when you arrive at the house. Michelle and Mark have thought about EVERYTHING and more. We can't wait to go back next year!"

"Michelle and Mark's property was TOP NOTCH! The Cottage was wonderfully decorated and very well appointed with everything you could ever need or want. The location is just a short walk to incredible shopping and restaurants. We spent the majority of the time at the Boathouse and the dock. The SUP, kayaks, and canoe were used almost everyday and the stunning Mirror Lake was the perfect playground for the kids (age 8 & 11). They SUP and swam for hours while we enjoyed the mountain view from the dock or paddled along with them. We enjoyed making Smore's at the fire pit and star gazing from the Boathouse. We also received about 2-3 compliments on the property from passerby-ers daily. You will not find another place with the such a great location and amenities. We WILL be back! Thank you for sharing your Cottage with our family."

"This was our 2nd stay at the Snowshoe Cottage and we hope to back again in 2022! Perfectly situated for getting out on the water, hiking and climbing in the High Peaks, having a good time on Main St. or simply relaxing by the fireplace on a rainy day."
