THE WHITEFACE LODGE

Completed in June 2005 White face Lodge is the vision of a former Olympian and developer who used decades of building experience to create one of the grandest properties in the entire Adirondack Park. Much of the timber for this Lake Placid resort was hand-milled on-site and accents such as handcrafted Adirondack furnishings adorn the interior spaces creating a wonderfully authentic ambiance. Considered by many one of the best hotels of its kind in the country Whiteface Lodge is nestled in Adirondack Park. This six-million-acre recreation area in upstate New York has drawn nature lovers for decades visitors have included Ralph Waldo Emerson the Vanderbilts and Marjorie Merriweather Post.

Amenities and services are decidedly 21st-century as is the focus on family travel and mountain escapes. The resort offers every imaginable activity for families and adult travelers including a movie theater bowling canoeing and ice skating in the winter.
