6. Birchside Home Good For Large Groups (from 120 USD)
This vacation rental is a great “buy” for big groups, accommodating up to 10 guests with its five bedrooms. The entire Airbnb home was renovated from an old 1900s house so it has a lot of character. The amenities, however, are modern, with WiFi, heating, TV and a full kitchen for home-cooked meals. Groups of up to five will manage fine with the kitchen, but larger groups can choose to dine out as downtown Lake Placid is only 15 minutes away on foot. The price is for a maximum of two guests, beyond that, a 25 USD per guest per night is charged.

8. A Private Room Nestled In The Woods (from USD 125)
Another Airbnb rental that allows guests to enjoy the outdoors while they are visiting Lake Placid. The facilities are basic - a stocked kitchen, TV, and heating. What makes this attractive to guests who like outdoor sports is that the owner allows guests to make use of their gear, such a canoe, a kayak and mountain bikes. While it is only a 5km (3mi) drive to the centre of town, it is also near enough to Saranac Lake for some serious adventure. A minimum two-night stay is required and this rental can accommodate up to three guests.
