The Whiteface Lodge  

Tucked into the Adirondack woodlands in Lake Placid, New York, this timbered mountain resort sits minutes from Mirror Lake and within walking distance of Lake Placid village. It’s about 11.5 miles from Whiteface Mountain and close to Boots and Birdies and Whiteface Golf Club. Family-friendly and ideal for outdoor lovers.

Evoking the Gilded Age splendor of the Adirondack Great Camps, the lodge blends rustic timber design with modern comforts. Guest rooms and suites offer private balconies or patios, kitchenettes or full kitchens, living areas and jetted bathtubs, plus thoughtful in-room touches like coffee/tea makers and flat-screen TVs. Expect wood-forward décor and a cozy, polished lodge vibe.

On-site perks include a full-service spa with massages, body treatments and facials, three hot tubs, indoor and outdoor pools, sauna and steam rooms, and a fitness center. There’s a private beach with a complimentary shuttle, an arcade/game room, bowling, children’s play area, lounge and garden—great for post-hike downtime or family fun.

A conference center and meeting rooms are onsite, with a computer station and complimentary wired and wireless internet. Limo/town car service and valet parking are available, and additional business services can be arranged.

KANU serves full meals on-property, while a coffee shop/café and bar/lounge cover snacks and cocktails. There’s also a beach bar, a breakfast room and 24-hour room service for late returns from the trails.
