Overview
Nestled in the hills of the Lake Placid area, the Whiteface Lodge provides guests with an immersive woodland experience. The comforts of home are there as well—if guests want them to be, making the stay unique—even in the rural northeast.
The series of log cabin-style suites instantly gives guests a taste of a time when life was simpler. The natural woods boast their origins, showing the knots and grains that make them so unique. The furniture blends in with the overall style of the room, complimented by the trees outside.
The spa also borrows from the aura of the Adirondacks. There are several packages for a variety of personal pampering tastes. Guests can choose from the Ultimate Luxury, Spa Escape, or Rustic Romance packages. The spa itself is encased in windows that allow the surrounding natural light to come in and enhance the experience of the guest’s treatment. The pool in the spa affords views of the outside in addition to the naturally-inspired stones and woods inside.
Guests have several dining options, headlined by the Kanu Restaurant. Kanu features casual dining with a sprinkle of upscale touches to make the experience a memorable one. The Peak 47 Casual Dining experience likewise combines good, regionally-based food with a relaxed atmosphere. Guests can even slip over to the Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor to grab some creamy treats.
The Whiteface Lodge throws guests back to a time when things were simple and respectfully balanced with nature. Everything is designed to create the comfort we should feel when surrounded by the great outdoors.
