    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!).

    Another great experience! We got the last room tonight and the manager Ryan is super sweet! My kids and I are so excited to stay here again. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant The Dancing Bears, and the kids are playing chess in the lobby. This hotel is very kid friendly and walking distance to everything on Main Street in Lake Placid. I highly recommend the High Peaks Resort! We absolutely love this hotel!

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

Courses arrived at an appropriate pace, and the team was accommodating and professional from start to finish. Overall, we were very pleased with the experience. My only criticism was dessert: the portion felt surprisingly small for an $18 menu price. The complimentary macarons helped soften the blow. We also had breakfast at The View. The menu and staff seem to steer guests toward the buffet, as ordering à la carte doesn't make much financial sense. Unfortunately, the buffet was underwhelming. The scrambled eggs were disappointing, the pastries tasted as though they had been sourced elsewhere rather than made in-house, and the much-touted granola was served alongside packaged Chobani yogurt, which felt somewhat at odds with the restaurant's upscale positioning. Service remained attentive, but even the staff seemed less than enthusiastic about the buffet offering. There is definitely room for improvement.

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.
