Lake Placid Lodge
"A hidden gem tucked in the heart of the Adirondacks," this upstate New York property has its roots in the late 1800s, when it was a Great Camp for leading industrialists and railroad magnates. "You feel like a special houseguest at a private country estate." With its wide porches, high windows, paths leading into the woods, and outdoor fireplaces, "everything here is perfection." Each room is filled with art and antiques, and the beds were carved by local artisans. Maggie’s Pub serves comfort food and handcrafted specialty drinks. "The griddle cakes as part of the complimentary breakfast are a must-try." Staff are "the stars" and will deliver s’mores to rooms. "It’s a true American treasure—oozing with so much personality and love." There are 50 stone fireplaces on the property."
