    Our family of 4 stayed here for a long weekend. We chose the premium view which was great and totally worth the price. The room was clean and updated. The location of the hotel is great because it's right on the main drag so food and shopping is an easy walk. The main resort's outdoor pool is nice, love the 8 foot deep end. They also had some kid related activities which was a bonus and the free afternoon cookies were a big hit. The staff were great, very friendly and professional. The gym needs some love but it definitely gets the job done. We will definitely stay here again.

    Centrally located, it's a beautiful property. It has different wings and each wing has indoor heated pool in it. There rooms are great size and beds are comfortable. Rooms open up to a courtyard with an outdoor pool and easy access to the Main Street. Great views of the mountain and lake. They provide free parking and WiFi for the guests. It's called resort: but there's not much to do inside the resort. But it's located centrally and accessible to everything around.

    This was our first time staying here, it was recommended to us by a relative. We only stayed a night but really enjoyed our stay. The room was clean upon arrival and the kids enjoyed both pools. We love that it's located right on Main Street so we can walk into town. We'll definitely stay here again for our family trips.

    A wonderful, dog-friendly resort in the heart of Lake Placid, directly on Mirror Lake! A more budget friendly option than the Mirror Lake Inn next door, we will likely be staying here for all future trips to LP. There's multiple pools, four different properties to choose from, fun seasonal activities, and walkable access to all of Lake Placid's businesses and offerings. We stayed at the Waterfront Collection for our visit, and would highly recommend this option if you're looking to travel with your furry friend. We had direct access to the grassy courtyard to let our pup out, and we loved being right on the water (the resort proper is also lovely, but across the street). The BATHROOM was the highlight! While the interior of the double queen room we booked itself was a lil lodge-drab, the bathroom was magnificent. Huge jacuzzi tub, gorgeous waterfall shower, and large vanity to store items. We paid a few dollars more a night for a view of the LAKE and not the POOL, and this was worth it as well. Booking directly on their website is slightly confusing if you don't know to use the drop down links. Extreme construction during our visit made things REALLY unpleasant during check in (and throughout our stay). While this isn't the hotel's fault, the only indication I got that Main St construction was happening was in my "you're coming in a week" email. Even then it was in small print at the bottom, with a "map" that didn't help much in terms of the chaos we drove into upon arrival. Additionally, nowhere in my research for the trip did it say "FYI - most of the town shuts down for two weeks in April." Maybe this is just common knowledge but it seem seems like something the tourism sites, hotels, and town should do a better job of making crystal clear. We were disappointed to find the town itself to be more or less a ghost town with the majority of attractions and businesses closed or inaccessible. I would say DEFINITELY keep the construction in mind if you're thinking about staying here and travelling within the next season or so. I look forward to visiting High Peaks again in a couple of years when the construction is (hopefully?) over and the town is more alive! Overall, this is an excellent property.

    One of the best resort I've been to. The main reason being the amenities and the bathroom shower. I love the option of rain shower and hand held shower head at the same time. Most hotels only offer one option. The waterfront kayak was an experience on its own. I was able to get on mirror lake and enjoy nature. I would definitely come back to this hotel because of the pleasant experience. Did I mention that there's free parking for guests that's close to the restaurants on Main Street.

    Great spot for our getaway. We felt safe and relaxed during our stay in lake placid. COVID-19 safety protocols were great at our resort. We enjoyed the bar for lunch and I had an excellent massage at the resort spa. The staff was friendly. Our room was on the 5th floor facing the lake. The room was like new since they just had renovations recently. We will be back! Side note- they offer free kayaks but it's busy and first come first serve, so we rented right next door for a reasonable price and was readily available at 10am.

    Lovely Rooms

    wonderful getaway, We went for my moms 80 th birthday . The main hotel is beautiful and the premier view is well worth it. staff is friendly, knowledgeable and top notch! we were met by Tomãs at the front desk on arrival who was the best ! we adored him. Then we met Tony at the bar the second day we came in 5 minutes before the bar closed for an hour after lunch , you would have never known. Tony welcomed us served us and made us feel like family .The Deck bar / restaurant was so nice beautiful with the view we came back for dinner . Our food was great and our waiter was amazing also !!!!' Stay at the High Peaks Resort , you won't be sorry ! Great place , great location very clean , great decor! Janelle

    Outdoor patio view from the High Peaks Resort

    Booked a weekend at this resort (the resort itself, not the lake house next door) and it was fantastic. Only $345 for Fri-sun and they offered complimentary champagne on arrival, gym had the standard equipment, and the room came with an outdoor patio with a great view of the street and the scenery. Another plus was you can be 18+ to check in, unlike most hotels. And there's plenty of things to do in town especially in summer/winter seasons. 10/10 would recommend

    The closeness to the Main Street as well as lake placid was great. It was clean and although the inside pool was about 100 degrees, the outdoor pool looked gorgeous but wasn't seasonal. We're giving it only three stars for a few reasons- 1. When we got here they gave us our room keys which was actually someone else's room, with their belongings were in. 2. There was a wedding the night we came and they leave the reception doors open in the lobby so there was basically no lobby for hotel guests because it becomes part of the wedding. 3. Do not think ANYTHING is complimentary like a cup or water or coffee or a forgotten toiletry.

    High peaks courtyard
    Amanda B.

    Love love love High Peaks! Located in walking distance of everything in downtown Lake Placid, beautiful rooms (many with views of Mirror Lake and the mountains---request a higher one if a view and balcony is important, or a courtyard level if you want to avoid stairs/elevator and want to have easy access to courtyard pool from your sitting area), gorgeous bathrooms (some with tvs and all with stereo so you can hear the tv while in there---this seems to be a large perk for many of my guy friends), ample parking, great amenities (multiple indoor and outdoor pools, fitness center, lakefront grassy area with complimentary kayaks-rowboat-pedal boats), friendliest and most helpful staff and management, delicious treats around check in time every day (cookies and lemonade/hot chocolate depending on the season), pet friendly rooms (all but one floor), I could go on and on! Granted, we are a little biased about our love of High Peaks as we recently got married there, but it really is a topnotch resort that will allow you to experience the best of Lake Placid. In the summer months, the access to the lake front area and water equipment is enough to spur us to spend the extra money to stay here. To clarify, there are rooms in the main High Peaks building, across the street from the lake (most higher up rooms will have spectacular views). There is also a waterfront building, which has waterfront suites (right on the lake with balconies, large rooms with large whirlpool tubs) and waterfront rooms (overlook the grassy area/lake as well, but about half of them face the pool so the view is greatly obstructed--may want to ask about this if you go for this type of room!).

    Out on the lake with one of the kayaks from the resort. Quite spectacular

Overall, they made us feel very welcome (although the inquisition about whether we were guests of the hotel when we checked in at the hostess stand seemed a little over the top). In any event, the dining room is lovely with spectacular lake and mountain views out of the large windows. Service was very good and moved at a very good pace. My cocktail (old fashioned was good). We started with blackened shrimp and potstickers. The shrimp were very good and the potstickers were just okay. The dumpling dough was a little doughy and chewy in places but the flavors were nice. My husband had a filet for his entree which he liked and my mother-in-law liked her Chilean sea bass. I had curry shrimp which was pretty good. We definitely liked the chocolate mousse we had for dessert. It's a generous portion and very rich. They took a nice digital photo of us and printed it out and my mother-in-law loved that nice touch. Overall, a nice experience since it's a lovely venue and the service is great. Food is pricey (the beef filet was $89) and although it was fine, I wouldn't rate it exceptional I think some people might take issue with that but overall we really enjoyed our meal here.

Hadn't seen that before and personally I think it clashed. I am used to the Burrata coming with olive oil , salad and tomatoes which compliments the cheese much better. The New York strip was good. Tasty, flavorful. The only thing I would say is I asked for medium and it came out medium well. We saw a rainbow and end of the day it was a nice dinner. Kinda pricey, but you're paying for the view.

We brought my mother-in-law here to celebrate her birthday and we hoped she'd like the laid back pace of a quaint lake town and she loved it. We had rooms in the lake cottage and our room (5L) has to be the best room on the property because you have a corner view with a wraparound porch and the vistas day and night are stunning. She had 7L and she loved it as well. Our room was cleaned thoroughly every day and everything worked perfectly. The shower was awesome. A lot of times in an older property things are a bit creaky but our room was perfect (once we figured out how to turn off the temperature light on the AC at night). The only tweak I'd make to our room would be to add a ceiling fan, but that's just a personal preference. We had massages at the spa and that was nice. I had a great masseur and enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub in the spa afterwards. There is an indoor pool area with a jacuzzi and an outdoor hot tub. Apparently there used to be an outdoor pool but that was removed a couple of years back. That would have been nice. We ate at the View, the Cottage and the bar and I've reviewed the restaurants separately. The bar was a great place for some shared snacks and desserts along with excellent cocktails and wonderful service. I loved just sitting on a rocking chair in a small screened in porch off the main lobby reading a book. It was so peaceful. The study area has tables and a fireplace and that was a wonderful setting to write cards to friends. As you can tell, we loved it here. There are some caveats: It's not cheap (though it's worth it, in my opinion) and parts of the main building are a bit worn and/or dated. However, the service is great from everyone, the place is spotless and comfortable and the vibe is exceptional. I've never wanted to stay any place longer as much as I wanted to stay at Mirror Lake Inn. I really want to come back in winter to see what it's like.

Is black tea too expensive and that's why the guests only get green tea?? (even though there was black tea days prior). We are paying $274 a night to be here for a week. That's a lot of money to pay to have to ask for black tea. -Very understaffed in the restaurant at night. I felt bad for the staff, they were trying so hard (except the host, she didn't try at all). -I talked to another guest who had lots of complaints and was on her FOURTH room because she kept having to switch due to issues. -The mini-fridge froze like half the food, (and no I did not put it in the freezer section). -Housekeeping was not prompt (would come around 3pm when we were back in the room to work remotely on a different time zone). -One of the self-service washing machines is SO loud you can literally hear it from 2 floors down. -The free kayaking is closed for the season while the other kayak rental in town is still operating...That was not clear when booking. The first day we were there, it was 85 degrees F and lots of people were out kayaking. It would have been nice to know that that wasn't going to be included.
