Asked if any booking for the day, they said we were the first, and they gave us the option to pick the time and the boat. Our renting should have been started at 12:45 pm. We arrived at 12:30, and they told us that the boat was no anymore available because another group came before us and they were boarding our selected boat. I asked for the other one then... and they told us they didn't have the keys, and we should have wait until 1:30 pm... probably more. Or take a fish boat which I didn't want. In the end, I walked away, and my wife and I got to change plans, and of course, the day was already ruined. I hope they will refund me the money. Please, stay away if you don't want to have your day ruined, or if you still want a boat, then get them to sign a piece of paper that they will not give away your booking for someone less polite than you. (I saw the group who took or boat negotiating with them from the window of my bedroom at the lake house minutes before we got downstairs, BTW.) I hope this review helps as much as possible. Planning a weekend these days is not simple, and having people that ruin it with such superficiality, it's a shame.

The rental process was easy online, as was the check-in, and the staff were all helpful and knowledgeable. The price was half that of comparable places at Lake Placid so this was a great value!

Terrible. Do not rent a boat from this place. The boats are junk and the owners are very shady…read more I reserved a pontoon boat for two days and I was specifically assured that I would not be expected to take the boat out or pay in the event of rain. Day 1 was okay weather-wise, however the boat itself was dirty, all of the seats were ripped and the carpet became soaked through from the underside. I brought it back in because there was something clearly wrong with the way the motor was sputtering but I was told it sounded normal. Day 2 it rained all day and when I called to discuss this with someone, I was told then owners would need to call me back. I called back 3 more times throughout the day and never heard back from the owners, and of course they charged me full price for the rainy day. I eventually got my money back after going through a dispute process with my cc company. It was clear that the employee that helped me was frustrated and knew he worked for shady owners. I know there are not a lot of options on Lake Placid, but do yourself a favor and find a boat somewhere else. If it were possible to give zero stars, I would.

We stayed at the High Peaks resort right next door, and their boats weren't out for the season yet - Mirror Lake Boat Rental to the rescue! NOTE: if you are planning to go soon (this review is being written on 4/27/21) this boat rental shop will be VERY DIFFICULT to find. You need to look for the sign I have in my photos that tells you to text the number provided, then follow the dirt path behind the construction to the little desk that will give you instructions. This shop technically does have open hours, but we had to text the owner Greg upon arrival and then waited for him to come down and rent us a boat. In the future, I would recommend just texting before heading down there and meeting him when he's already there. Check out their website for full details of cost and times and such. $30/hour for most of your standard boats, including the fun bikes! We opted for a paddle boat so we could save money and be out on the water together. The hour flew by even though it was a little chilly when the wind blew. Cash only, which is inconvenient but understandable considering this biz is fully outside, and there's an ATM at the resort across the street if you need it. This is a great way to see Mirror Lake from a new vantage point and is TONS of fun. Happy boating!

Hidden gem in the heart of lake placid! We decided to take a break from hiking the high peaks with…read moreour 9 and 12yo kids and rented a boat. FYI, they only accept cash or checks. I was a bit apprehensive since we are boating novices, having only used a motorized boat once before. Turns out we had nothing to worry about. We were given a pristine, spacious pontoon (called the Bentley, if that tells you anything :), and the operator gave us crystal clear directions on how to use it. The person helping us also gave us a map of lake placid and pointed out good areas to stop for swimming and fishing. My kids had the time of their lives on the water. The operator was kind enough to suggest bringing one of their floating tubes and a fish net, all for no extra charge. I thought we would only be on the water for 2hrs at most, but we ended up being out for more than 3. The kids said they could have stayed out on the lake all day. We did not catch any fish but we all enjoyed the beautiful view in our clean, spacious pontoon. Given our inexperience, this excursion could have easily gone south, however Captain Marneys clearly cares about its patrons and goes the extra mile to make sure everything goes well. We will be back!

Also, avoid, at all costs a manicure and pedicure. Mine were awful and expensive. The massage was horrible (could not wait for it to end) and the paint job and filing were horrendous. Also, it was the antithesis of relaxing. The provider kept talking and talking and talking. The staff seemed very nonchalant about service when I arrived and when I made the complaint, apologize but really did not seem to care about how I felt. This would be fine if I wasn't paying top price and 18% gratuity to boot. Avoid at all costs!!!!!
