Timeless Tranquility: 100 Years of Mirror Lake Inn Resort & Spa

Nestled in the heart of the majestic Adirondack Mountains, the Mirror Lake Inn Resort & Spa is long known for providing its guests with a memorable and authentic Adirondack experience.

“Yes, we have a beautiful location overlooking the lake and mountains, but this house doesn’t become a home until we put our love into it,” said owner Ed Weibrecht, the patriarch of the family that has owned the Inn for nearly 50 years. “We strive to make every guest feel as if they’re the most important and special person in the world because, to us, they are.”

That has been the hallmark of this iconic property in Upstate New York, now celebrating its 100th Anniversary. The resort has held the coveted AAA Four Diamond award for “Excellence” since 1984, the second longest in all of New York State. Weibrecht, who has owned the Inn since 1977, will also proudly add “cleanliness and friendliness” in highlighting the experience that he and his staff pride themselves on providing to their guests.

The physical setting is stunning —all 124 lodging units overlook Mirror Lake and the surrounding Adirondack High Peaks, and it’s just a two-minute walk to Main Street of the historic Olympic Village of Lake Placid.

From “Classic” guest rooms to multi-room family suites to the uber-luxurious Presidential Suite, the Inn offers a wide array of rooms comfortably and elegantly designed to accommodate individual travelers, couples, and families alike. Constantly reinvesting in the property, the Inn has invested over $8 million in upgrades and redesigns over the last few years alone.

Guests of the Mirror Lake Inn enjoy a variety of complimentary amenities, including a brandnew, state-of-the-art exercise facility, heated indoor and outdoor pools, a jacuzzi, a dry sauna, a salt therapy room, a tennis court, and a private beach featuring an array of personal watercraft.

The Inn’s highly acclaimed European Spa, recently voted “Best in the Mountains,” is recommended to enhance your stay. Certified aestheticians bring guests to another level of relaxation and comfort.

When planning a visit, one cannot look past the Inn’s two incredible on-site dining options. The View Restaurant, located in the hotel’s main house, has been AAA Four Diamond rated for the past 16 consecutive years and features a menu rich in the character and terroir of the Adirondacks, with influences from Europe’s finest resorts, mountains, and alpine villages.

If you enjoy wine accompaniments and pairings, The View has been the recipient of the Wine Spectator “Best of Award of Excellence” for over two decades, offering selections from virtually all corners of the globe.

For those looking for a more casual dining experience, the Inn also offers one of Lake Placid’s most popular pubs, “The Cottage.” Great for lunch or dinner and your favorite cocktails, The Cottage literally sits on the water’s edge and offers both indoor and outdoor seating options year-round.

Finally, we would be remiss not to mention the world of activities and experiences that lie just outside our doors. Guests can enjoy hiking, biking, swimming, fishing, boating, golf, tennis and, of course, visits to the various 1980 Olympic venues that are still in operation today. Other visitors seek the tranquility of our library and living room, where they can curl up with a good book or a glass of wine.
