LAKE PLACID
1. RENT A LAKE PLACID CONDO OR CABIN INSTEAD OF A
HOTEL ROOM. Lake Placid cabin and condo prices run
slightly higher than hotel rooms, but over a week’s stay you’
ll save big on meal expenses. A family of four can easily
save $25 or more by eating breakfast at the condo and even
more at lunch.
2. BRING ALONG ANOTHER FAMILY TO SPLIT THE COST.
Three and four bedroom town homes in Lake Placid can be
rented for approximately the same cost as a nice one-
bedroom condo. Bring along friends or another family to
split the accommodation cost.
3. VISIT LAKE PLACID BEFORE MEMORIAL WEEKEND OR
AFTER THE FIRST WEEK IN AUGUST. May and October are
the best times to visit Lake Placid.
4. CONSIDER RENTING BY OWNER. Many Lake Placid
vacation home owners rent "by owner", meaning you’ll save
an average of 25%. This is the normal percentage charged
by rental management companies to “rent” individual
condos. Plus, many management companies are now
tacking on additional cleaning fees, extra deposits, etc. The
downside to renting by owner is that most do not accept
credit cards and may not be able to respond quickly to
maintenance issues. There are several reputable websites
listing Lake Placid vacation homes for rent by owner
5. DINE OUT BETWEEN 5 P.M. AND 6 P.M.- Several of Lake
Placid restaurants offer two-for-one specials between this

HOTEL ROOM- Booking hotels through Priceline can
sometimes result in unbelievable bargains but be careful
when bidding or you might end up in an undesirable area.

Placid restaurants offer lunch specials at half the price of

at night during the busy season can be quite long.
