Your Adirondack Winter Vacation Awaits

As home to both the 1932 and 1980 winter games, Lake Placid is incredibly proud of its rich Olympic heritage. We are particularly excited this year for Andrew Weibrecht, son of the Inn's owners Ed and Lisa, who recently won a bronze medal in Vancouver for the 2010 Games in alpine skiing. Congratulations, Andrew! In celebration of the 2010 Olympics, we have created the Lake Placid Winter Games Package.This package includes deluxe accommodations, two 3-day ski passes to Whiteface Mountain and access to all Olympic venues. Take an elevator to the top of the ski jumps, check out where the 'Miracle on Ice' happened, skate on the Olympic speed skating oval, tour the Olympic Museum and, for the truly adventurous, zip down the bobsled course at over 60 mph!

The Mirror Lake Inn maintains a private ice-skating rink directly in front of the hotel on Mirror Lake where guests can skate with their kids or enjoy watching from the inn's lakefront pub, The Cottage. With large picture windows overlooking the lake, sip your wine or hot toddy while the kids skate and play hockey to their hearts' content! There is also x-c skiing on the inn's sister property The Whiteface Club, dog sled rides on Mirror Lake, complimentary snow shoes for exploring nearby nature trails and more. Choose our Adirondack Outing Package and our chef will pack you a delicious lunch in an insulated backpack to take with you on a winter excursion of your choosing.

After a fun day in the outdoors, enjoy a drink by one of our many crackling fires, a romantic dinner at one of our restaurants, The View or Taste Bistro, or a Signature Water Massage in our award-winning Lake Placid spa.

We invite you to experience the magic of our lovely Lake Placid hotel and all-American resort town for your next winter getaway. If we can be of any assistance in your planning, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Our Location in the Adirondack Mountains

Mirror Lake Inn is situated on eight beautifully landscaped acres with 1/8 mile of pristine lakefront on Mirror Lake, just one block from the village's Main Street. Lake Placid is one of the Adirondacks most beautiful and lively towns and offers tremendous four-season fun for the outdoor enthusiast as well as a wonderful variety of gourmet restaurants and specialty shops, all in a quaint village setting. Site of two past winter Olympic games, Lake Placid still enjoys playing host to several international, annual sporting events including the Lake Placid Horse Show and the USA Ironman Triathlon.

Our Lodging

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.

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.
