About this property

An iconic Adirondack cottage located on Mirror Lake with its own boathouse and only a 2 block walk to the village of Lake Placid NY. This idyllic cottage with a stream stone wood-burning fireplace has amazing views of Mirror Lake and the Southern Adirondack range mountains. The boathouse has an upstairs sitting room with deck, a dock right on the shores of Mirror Lake, and includes a canoe and kayak for your use. Snowshoe Cottage is the epitome of Adirondack atmosphere combining old world charm with modern convenience, original beadboard, and wood fir floors with new Adirondack style furnishings. The cottage can accommodate six people in style. It is perfect for a romantic getaway or your next family vacation.

Please note that the cottage itself is not directly on the water. While there are amazing views of the lake and mountains from the lakeside rooms of the cottage, there is another house situated so that we do not get completely unobstructed views. The boathouse is, of course, directly on the water. Views from there are one of the best views of Mirror Lake and Southern Adirondack range mountains and are totally unobstructed.

Cottage on the lake

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.

Best vacation spot!

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!

Wonderful Family Vacation

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.

Lake Life! (again)

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.

There is no way this could have been better!

The house and boat house are truly amazing in every way, in an unbeatable location. Everything looks great the online pictures … in person you can multiply just how good it really is by about 10! Every detail is considered and attended to with care, and that makes this property a very special place.
