Lake House at High Peaks Resort is one of three hotels that make up the High Peaks Resort situated on Mirror Lake in the town of Lake Placid.
All three resorts share amenities like indoor and outdoor pools, on-site restaurants, a full-service day spa, and a waterfront beach featuring all the watersports.
Lake House is a completely overhauled 1960s motor inn. Architectural Digest featured the hotel as one of the most beautiful in the ADK. According to AD, the designers were careful to keep the cool mid-century vibe, “fusing vintage spirit with modern vigor in downtown Lake Placid. Interiors, warmed with light woods and a playful palette of bright red window frames and fixtures, pop with patterned throws and roaring fireplaces.” So, it’s got that going for it.
Each of the hotel’s 44 rooms is named after one of the high peaks and comes with:
Patio or balcony to enjoy the spectacular views
Flat-screen TVs with cable and LodgeNet for video game and movie rentals
Sumptuous bedding
Full bath and shower
Complimentary Wi-Fi
