My family and I have been repeat visitors of Lake Placid Lodge over the years. Apparently this lovely property is under new ownership and management. Having arrived for a three night Labor Day stay we immediately realized that young children are now welcome here. We awoke the first morning in our $1000/night lakeside suite to the din of children yelling and running in the suite directly above us, at 8am.

The more pressing issue was that we learned that a wedding was to be held the Saturday afternoon/evening of our stay. We were not informed of this when we booked the trip, and were told, once there, that it is “not the policy” of the hotel to inform other guests of weddings taking place at the Lodge. The day manager assured me that the wedding would be held on the first floor, “and would not impact” other hotel guests; moreover he clearly stated that it would be over by 9pm. At 5:30pm, the blaring music began, to be heard in both restaurants, and all common areas. At 8:30pm our family was sitting by the fire, subjected to the tunes from the movie “Saturday Night Fever”, when we wanted only to enjoy the serenity of the lake and mountains. This continued until 10pm.

After complaining vociferously to the general manager, C.J., he reluctantly deducted one night’s stay from our bill. He implied that I had a problem because I was the person who spoke up about the infringement of four - five hours of extremely loud music on the premises of Lake Placid.

Management needs instruction on polite interaction with guests. Those booking at Lake Placid Lodge should be aware that it is incumbent upon them to inquire about potential loud events which might mar the experience of a stay at Lake Placid Lodge.

My bf and I stayed at one of the cabins right on the lake in 2016. The resort is beautifully located right on the lake and service is wonderful. It is pet friendly, but only if you book a cabin away from the main lodge. Everything is well thought out from the champagne and fruits with a nice welcome note to a private boat tour of the island and s’mores by the fire pit at night.

This is a beautiful lodge with gorgeous views of Lake Placid and its islands. We stayed in the lakeside suites with bed room and sitting room, both with fireplaces and views of the lake as well as private outside sitting areas. They have two restaurants and free inboard motor boat guided tours of the lake as well as small electric boats for exploring on your own. It was almost like having our own private lodge.

Lake Placid Lodge was on my bucket list as a result of being a Relais & Chateux property. It lived up to its promise! The views were absolutely magnificent! We stayed in one of the cabins which came equipped with 2 fireplaces! The fireplaces were prepared each day for us by the staff which meant that the logs were placed on top of crumpled newspapers to make lighting the fire as easy as striking a match. The staff was excellent! Everyone was very helpful even in finding places to see and hike. The food was also great. As for the accommodations they were outstanding as well! There is great attention to detail in all the woodwork. I highly recommend it and look forward to going back some day.

Stayed for long wknd in a beautiful cabin ON the lake shore. The view was mesmerizing and we stayed in the room quite a bit of our visit as the weather wasn’t the best. Fireplace was used as well. Bed very comfortable as was the bathroom.
The lodge is visually appealing but the staff is just not a five star quality. They are friendly but not polished. I also agree with another review that said the chef is more concerned with creativity than taste.
You can’t get a better view and the wait staff was fine, but the food was lacking taste. Enjoyed our stay but management needs to work a bit harder.
