The Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa
Classic Adirondack elegance — Arts & Crafts furnishings, stone fireplaces, birch bark accents, four-poster beds. Warm and unpretentious despite the accolades. Families, couples, and solo spa-goers all fit. The lobby has complimentary cookies and coffee running 24/7, which sets the tone.
Book the spa well in advance — it fills up every day and they frequently turn away guests. Call (518) 302-3010.
Why It Matters
The longest-running AAA Four Diamond resort in the Lake Placid region, family-owned for over 85 years. It earned a Michelin One Key in 2024 and hosts the area's only AAA Four Diamond restaurant. The Cottage is also consistently named one of North America's top après-ski bars by Ski Magazine readers. The current owners, Andrew and Denja Weibrecht, are hands-on — Andrew is a two-time Olympic skiing medalist and you can literally book a ski day with him.
Mirror Lake Inn is a family-owned lakefront resort in Lake Placid that has been running since the 1930s. Spread across eight acres and five lodges, every room looks out at Mirror Lake and the Adirondack High Peaks through floor-to-ceiling glass — it's the kind of view that genuinely stops you mid-sentence. The resort holds the AAA Four Diamond award for 40 consecutive years, a Michelin One Key, and membership in Small Luxury Hotels of the World, which tells you something about the consistency here.
