Need a weekend of mountains instead of high-rises? Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa offers a variety of luxury rooms and suites for a relaxing weekend away. Located on the edge of Mirror Lake in the city of Lake Placid, the resort’s white clapboard cottage exterior gives way to polished rustic quarters with fireplaces and homey decorations. With a heated outdoor pool, sauna, and private beach, this award-winning resort provides guests with a safe haven against the bitter winter cold.

But it’s not only a place to relax. Winter-sports-lovers can spend the day traversing the same terrains that have been used by Olympic athletes. For skiers and skaters, Lake Placid boasts Whiteface Mountain and the Olympic Speed Skating Oval. Or you can head over to see something a bit more difficult to find on the east coast: a bobsled, luge, and skeleton track. Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa makes skiing easy by offering two ski and room accommodation packages.
After an exhausting long day of winter fun, guests can peel off their coats and sit down to a meal at one of the resort’s three fine-dining restaurants. The View, the resort’s fifteen-time winner of the Wine Spectator’s Dining Guide award, offers mouth-watering items such as venison and wild mushroom ragout, seared sea scallops, and on the weekends, their Hearty Adirondack Breakfast Buffet.
Mirror Lake Resort and Spa’s combination of exhilarating activities, cozy atmosphere, and delicious food provides a weekend getaway with something for everyone. The resort also has activities for any weather and is open year-round. Reservations can be made by calling (518)-523-2544 or by going online at www.mirrorlakeinnandresort.com .
