Casual Summer Elegance in the Adirondacks
Our landmark Lake Placid hotel on the shores of Mirror Lake is the perfect place for your Adirondack summer vacation. The fresh mountain air and spectacular natural beauty of the area is sure to revitalize and rejuvenate your spirit. Take a leisurely canoe ride on a pristine lake, go hiking, biking, golfing, fishing, swimming, or just enjoy the view from one of our Adirondack chairs...you'll find it all here in one of "America's Prettiest Towns"*
After a day spent on the lake, in the woods, exploring the area or shopping on picturesque Main Street, return to the Inn for a deep tissue massage in our world-class spa followed by a gourmet meal in one of our three onsite restaurants, all offering seasonal bounty from our local farms. Later, perhaps after some stargazing and smores alongside a crackling fire, tuck in for a peaceful nights sleep in your beautifully appointed room. We think that the combination of outdoor adventure with the luxury of a world-class hotel is what keeps our guests returning year after year.

We are a wonderful place for family vacations or romantic getaways. We have five lodging buildings. Two are on the lakeside of the street, with our private beach and boathouse in between, and three are on the Main House side of the street. See our grounds map. What is especially nice about our location is you can easily leave the Mirror Lake Inn and one way will take you around Mirror Lake (a nice walk of 2.7 miles passing by the Lake Placid Marina) and the other way will take you past all the quaint shops on Main Street Lake Placid, all within walking distance.

Our reservationists will be happy to assist couples with tailoring their reservation to their specific preferences or needs including quieter summer times.
Mirror Lake
The village of Lake Placid overlooks beautiful Mirror Lake which often resembles its namesake: a mirror. There are no motorized boats allowed on Mirror Lake so it is incredibly clean and very quiet. Often you'll find Loons on the lake and it is great for swimming, kayaking, paddle-boating, canoeing and fishing. We offer complimentary boats at our private beach. In the winter months we have a private ice skating rink, so bring your skates. Nearby, Dog Sled Rides are offered on frozen Mirror Lake.
Walk of 2.7 miles
Enjoy a walk of 2.7 miles around Mirror Lake any time of year. Along the way you will have an opportunity to view some of the beautiful homes located along the lake. Take a moment to glance down at the cobble stone sidewalk as you go and you will find the names and elevations of The 46 High Peaks of the Adirondacks carved into beautiful granite. You'll also pass the Toboggan Chute, a popular winter sport open to the public. Ride a 3' toboggan sled down the chute onto the ice of Mirror Lake. The public beach that you will pass is also the start location of the USA Ironman Triathlon Swim that takes place in July of 2000 athletes. Pass by unique, quaint shops on the village Main Street and The Cottage, which is a great stop for lunch, supper or cocktails on the lake.
