Mirror Lake Inn

Upon driving up to the blissful Mirror Lake Inn, you may forget where you even came from, and elect to live forever in the warm lakeside fantasy of this hotel. The seven-acre, 131-unit property provides un unbeatable seasonable experience of Lake Placid and the Adirondacks: In the winter, you can enjoy skiing, skating and snowshoeing on the lake and at Whiteface Mountain; and summer adventurers can enjoy watersports and hiking. But outdoor activities require you to leave the hotel, which is near impossible: beyond the picturesque suites and cozy communal sitting room with a fireplace and daily afternoon tea, the hotel boasts two massive pools (outdoor and indoor), a gym, spa, sauna and jacuzzi. The Cottage, Taste Bistro and the AAA-four diamond rated the View restaurants feature fresh indulges for all seasons and stunning views of the lake. Trust us: You'll never want to leave.
