Front desk person is really not motivated at her job and won't be able to answer any questions. This place is right on the lake and convenient across oval rink skating. Family enjoyed all amenities and convenient location. Its close to all

Absolutely the best lodge I have ever stayed at. The cabin was perfect. The fireplace fully stocked was very nice. The lodge food was very good. I highly recommend this as the place to stay in Lake Placid.

We stayed at a lakeside cabin for 3 days. The view was absolutely stunning, and the resort fee included several fun activities like snowshoeing, sledding, and s'mores, which we really enjoyed. ​We booked a promotion that included breakfast, but there was a bit of a misunderstanding. It turned out "per adult" meant children were not included. However, after explaining the situation, the manager kindly waived the $40 fee per child. ​If you love quiet scenery, I highly recommend this place. That said, considering the price point, the service and food quality were a bit underwhelming—I’d struggle to give it more than 4 stars. Still, it’s a place I’d consider visiting once a year.

We had a wonderful stay at Lake Placid Lodge! We booked as part of a group road trip and everyone was thrilled with the service, location, and room accommodations. The Woodstock Staff on site was so kind and lovely to work with. We enjoyed exploring Lake Placid and dining at the Lodge. A perfect retreat that we look forward to returning again!

Absolutely magical property. It's the perfect place when you want the "vibe" of off the grid without really being off the grid. Cabins are so incredibly cozy and are cleaned and fire place replenished everyday. Just have to light and add wood! Rooms are so comfortable and warm with amazing views of the lake. Great wooden boardwalk that you use to get to and from the restaurants. The restaurants are so great. The food is fantastic. Service is wonderful. They also have cross country skis and snow shoes to use. We also recovered access to a local gym with great amenities. This property is absolutely stunning and it feels secluded enough but not cut off. We were so lucky we had a snowy night that coated the property in fresh white powder that glistened with the Christmas tree lights.

The service was outstanding. The staff took care of our every need. Every request was followed up with friendliness, professionalism and promptness. The food was well prepared. The accommodation was out of the ordinary and the view of the lake and mountains were breathtaking. Just an awesome experience.

We had an exceptional experience at Lake Placid Lodge from start to finish. They were incredibly accommodating, even allowing us to check in early during inclement weather. Our lakeside cabin was beautiful, with a stunning view of the lake—made even more magical as the snow began to fall. The fireplace was already set up for us; all we had to do was light a match and add wood as needed, which made the space feel especially cozy. Breakfast was fantastic, with delicious homemade hash and perfectly cooked eggs. We also had a great dinner at Maggie’s—splitting a wonderful salad and a flavorful pasta dish. The staff throughout our stay were friendly, attentive, and eager to make our visit special. They even moved us to a comfortable coach in front of the fireplace so we could finish our wine, and treated us to a personal tour of the wine cellar. From check-in to check-out, everything was truly lovely. We can’t wait for the opportunity to return again!
