The Bear Den: An Adirondack Treasure

 

Welcome to the Bear Den, a true Adirondack gem-a cozy cabin tucked among the whispering pines of Lake Placid, NY, less than a mile from Main Street. Originally built in 1930 for the first Winter Olympic Games, this charming retreat has been lovingly renovated to combine rustic character with the modern comforts and amenities of today. Whether you’re planning an authentic Adirondack getaway in the warmth of summer or the magic of winter, The Bear Den offers an ideal escape in every season. This woodland hideaway sleeps up to five guests, featuring two inviting bedrooms and a spacious Great Room designed for gathering and relaxation.

 

In the Great Room, countless memories await—swap stories after a day on the trails, play board games with loved ones, curl up by the crackling fire on the leather couches, or enjoy a peaceful moment gazing out the grand 8-foot picture window overlooking the forest. The fireplace is stocked with ample firewood, ensuring that every stay feels warm and welcoming.

 

Whether you’re visiting for a family vacation, a romantic winter retreat, a special anniversary, or an athletic adventure—to ski, hike, climb, bike, or paddle—The Bear Den is the perfect home base for up to five guests.

 

Just a short stroll or three-minute drive away lies the two-time Olympic Village of Lake Placid, where you’ll find unique boutiques, cozy cafés, fine dining, and vibrant nightlife.
