Drive through the stunning Ausable River gorge to Lake Placid, just ten miles away, with its unique combination of great restaurants and shopping, along with skating on the Olympic Oval, roaring down the Olympic Bobsled track, visiting the Olympic Ski Jumps or the site of the 1980 American Olympic Hockey victory over the Soviet Union.  Don't feel like driving or preparing the evening meal yourself? Stroll down the hill to the Wilderness Inn, a great local restaurant.

Whiteface Mountain, located a mere two miles away, offers thrilling downhill skiing in the winter and mountain biking, hiking, and gondola rides in the summer. Drive up the Veterans Memorial Highway to the top of Whiteface Mountain, where you can photograph Lake Champlain, the Green Mountains of Vermont, and all the High Peaks
 of the Adirondacks. Within minutes of the cottage, an extensive network of trails await the outdoor adventurer.  Options include cross country skiing, snow shoeing, rock and ice climbing, and mountain biking to name a few.

Bring your bicycles and follow the Lake Placid Ironman cycle route which passes directly in front of the cottage. Ride two minutes in one direction to where the Ausable River widens forming Lake Everest, where a sandy beach and park are located. This serene spot features a playground, fishing, picnic tables, and a great place to launch kayaks. Travel just a few minutes in the opposite direction from the cottage for a refreshing dip in a quintessential Adirondack swimming hole. 

Fly fishermen from around the world visit the Ausable River to catch rainbow and brown trout and other species in its remarkably pure waters. 

Golfing, surrounded by gorgeous views of the High Peaks is nearby, or if you need a day off, bird watch, grab lunch or compose the great American novel, while relaxing on the front porch. The kids will enjoy an evening around the campfire, while they roast marshmallows, and listen to the wildlife sounds of an Adirondack evening. The High Peaks towns of Wilmington, Jay and Lake Placid offer nightly summer activities for young and old alike, everything from plays, concerts and art exhibits to fireworks and blue-grass/ rock and country bands under the stars. Enjoy summer concerts on the shore of Lake Everest every Thursday Evening in July and August. Whiteface Brookside Cottage will rent in July and August only from Saturday to Saturday, while there is a three night minimum stay the rest of the year. We will consider a two night stay, if the guest is willing to pay a $100 cleaning fee. Brookside Cottage has a local caretaker, who provides plowing service in the winter, and can be contacted for local information.
