The Haus has a remarkable combination of being right in the center of town while still feeling like it's miles away from everything. We stayed in suite 8, which is on the top floor on the lake side (mirror lake - the village of Lake Placid is located on Mirror Lake, not Lake Placid, which is surrounded mostly by private homes), and it was perfect. The architecture is beautiful, the entire suite was bright and clean and furnished in a tastefully modern style. The bedroom was large with a nicely sized en suite bathroom, and the bed was very comfortable (a big plus, since we were there for the Lake Placid Marathon). The kitchen is fantastic, with a full sized refrigerator, oven/stove, coffee maker, dishes, silverware, pots, pans, and other kitchen tools. There is a nice bar in the kitchen that looks into the living room. The living room is a very comfortable place to relax, and has a door that leads to the large deck, which has a spectacular view of Mirror Lake. It was great sitting out there in the morning and night to take in the beautiful scenery. We met Anthony, the owner, when we checked in. He helped us with our (very heavy) suitcase, and was very friendly and gracious.

We've been to Lake Placid a number of times and have never been disappointed with our accommodations, but this is probably our favorite place. The combination of a beautiful suite, convenient location in town, and lovely location on the lake is unbeatable (not to mention the very reasonable rate!). We will definitely be staying at The Haus the next time we're in town.
