"An 1883 lakeside grande dame with Adirondack soul, this resort sits on Mirror Lake a block from Main Street and near the Olympic Center, welcoming you like family. Rooms are rich with mahogany walls, vaulted ceilings, and polished walnut floors, many with private balconies over the water; a massage at the spa is a must, and the lakefront Cottage café turns out comforting pub‑style fare. In fall, I linger over seasonal, locally sourced dishes and s’mores by the lakeside fireplaces as the foliage reflects off the water." - Jessica Chapel
"Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa is also listed among Lake Placid’s hotels that have previously landed on Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards list." - Caitlin Morton
"Built in 1883 as a private home, this Adirondack Mountain resort is on the shores of Mirror Lake, one block from Main Street and close to the Olympic Center. "Mirror Lake wrote the book on customer service. They welcome you back with open arms and treat you like family." Rooms have mahogany walls, vaulted ceilings, polished walnut floors, and private balconies with "beautiful water vistas." "Although there are plenty of things to do on-site throughout the year"—complimentary snowshoes are available—"the inn’s close proximity to the center of town and nearby Whiteface Mountain makes it easy to try many other outdoor activities." "An absolute must is a massage in the spa." The lakefront Cottage café serves pub-style dishes."
