508 Mirror Lake Drive

Lake Placid, NY 12946

Croslyn Cottage is one of Mirror Lake's most distinctive waterfront properties, offering a rare blend of Adirondack history, timeless character, and modern comfort. Originally built in 1909 and believed to be among the oldest remaining homes associated with the original Lake Placid Club, the cottage takes its name from the village boundary that once crossed its southern piazza. Nestled among mature pines in the sought-after Northwood area, the property offers 100 feet of shoreline on Mirror Lake, a sandy beach, private dock, and stunning westerly views that deliver unforgettable sunsets. Thoughtfully restored over the years, the home preserves the details that define its Adirondack heritage. Refinished original hickory floors, restored log beam interiors, and a welcoming gas fireplace create the feeling of a classic camp while offering the comfort and functionality expected today. The spacious layout includes seven bedrooms, a large living room with decrative log beam ceilings, and multiple gathering spaces designed for hosting family and friends. While it lives comfortably as a three-bedroom residence for everyday use, the flexible floor plan provides exceptional capacity for overnight guests. Additional sleeping areas make it ideal for multi-generational gatherings, extended stays, or those seeking income potential. Located just outside the village limits in a short-term rental-friendly area, Croslyn Cottage offers a unique combination of privacy, convenience, and rental opportunity. Despite its peaceful setting, the property benefits from public infrastructure and a paved driveway while remaining just minutes from Main Street, restaurants, shops, and year-round recreation. Whether spending summer afternoons on the sandy beach, gathering around the lakeside fire-pit, or watching the sun set over Mirror Lake, Croslyn Cottage offers a lifestyle that has defined Lake Placid for generations.
