Welcome to Garden Cottage!
Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, choose a cozy winter stay, a summer vacation, or a romantic honeymoon, the Garden Cottage is the perfect choice! It is just like staying in your own private and elegant luxury suite! The Cottage has a stone fireplace stocked with ample firewood and cozy amenities to make a memorable visit.
Enjoy the ambiance of the historic Whiteface Club and Resort, including a private beach, lakeside dining, marina, 18-hole championship golf course, and clay tennis courts. The area also offers trekking and cross-country ski trails...all within walking distance.
Garden Cottage was originally an open-air 'smoking gazebo' created for the original Whiteface Inn. It is said that gentlemen would retire here to enjoy a brandy and a cigar after their meal at the Inn. Over time, additions were added to create a bedroom, bathroom, dining room and kitchen. The original stone hearth, stone floors, and living room with its cathedral beam ceiling remain.
Returning guests often mention how rustic and authentic it is, yet fully equipped with modern amenities.
The bedroom was designed to feel like sleeping out in the woods with an amazing real birch tree headboard, however, no sleeping bag needed here, as our fluffy feather bed compares to boutique hotel comfort.
​
Our attention was driven on finding rare pieces of furniture and antiques from the surrounding region, like our latest addition, which is a custom made dining table from master craftsman Steve Bowers. As you sit on the Westport chairs in the privacy of the large perennial garden, enjoy the smell of the surrounding woods and calming sound of the loons in the distance.
Always a fantastic visit
Over the years we've come many times to the cottage and want to keep coming back since it's always such a wonderful experience. Our latest trip was no exception, and the stay was perfect in every way. The owners have things perfectly set up for a cozy time in this beautiful land of mountains and lakes. They are super easy to interact with and very hospitable, welcoming and thoughtful. Somehow they even manage to keep improving things around the house, and we enjoyed staying in and cooking between various outings to nearby woodland trails and hikes. As long time users of VRBO and visitors to many rental properties, we give the Garden Cottage our highest possible recommendation!

A quintessential Adirondacks cabin
​
​
My husband and I visit Lake Placid annually, and what a treat to have discovered this quintessential Adirondack style cabin! The photos do not lie—this beautifully decorated cabin is in excellent condition; the amenities are generous; and this stay was comparable to previous stays at lodges. While this was a short stay over a long weekend, we look forward to returning in the future. Thank you for sharing your home

Exceeded expectations!!
​
The Lake Placid cottage/cabin exceeded our expectations. It was neat and clean, privately set, delightfully furnished, had a well stocked lardier with lots of treats and necessities. The heater was excellent, the washer dryer seemed brand new, every detail was thought out down to the heated toilet seat! We needed to contact the manager once and she responded immediately. Lastly, the location couldn’t have been better.
