Located in the heart of Lake Placid, this lakefront resort manages to feel simultaneously central and secluded. Most rooms offer scenic views over Mirror Lake -- don't miss the stunning sunrises -- as well as modern amenities and noteworthy bathrooms (standard rooms have spa-like rainfall showers lined in natural stone) compared to neighboring properties. Despite the central location steps away from all of Main Street's offerings, there's plenty to keep guests occupied on-site, including two indoor and two outdoor pools, a lakefront area with free use of kayaks, an Aveda Concept Salon and Spa, a modern fitness center overlooking the courtyard pool, and a casual restaurant with a seasonal outdoor patio. Guests at the resort's sister property, Lake House, have full access to the amenities here, so public areas like the pools and lakefront can get a bit crowded.
