Brushton Vacations from $1,018

Great location plenty of space very clean and comfortable!

We stayed at Whiteface Lodge for our last family trip of the year. We hadn't been back in 13 years and by chance ended up in the suite right above our old one. The One Bedroom Superior Suite was spotless and had a true Adirondack feel. Housekeeping actually mops the suite floors during turnarounds instead of just vacuuming. The walk-out porch had a great mountain view with the leaves just starting to turn. The 2nd floor coffee bar is open from 5 AM to 5 PM, which was ideal for grabbing a cup early, sitting on the chilly porch before breakfast, or walking the grounds while waiting for everyone to wake up. The underground tunnel connects the buildings so you don't have to step out in the cold. The movie theater has a cozy basement feel with a Bose Tube setup!, fresh popcorn, family movies at 10 AM, and older PG-13 films at 9 PM. The bowling alley, arcade, and pool tables are all right together. The indoor/outdoor pool and hot tubs are heated, though stepping outside takes a second to adjust if cold. We ate at Peak 47 lounge the first night to skip the Lake Placid parking hassle; the pizza was great, and having a full kitchen made leftovers easy for lunch. KANU offers an upscale prime rib buffet, but we passed because of picky eaters (kids). Parking note: valet uses a heated garage, while the free self-parking lot fills up quickly during weddings. In town, event parking gets tight, but there is free street parking along Mirror Lake Drive if you don't mind a short walk.

Everything was excellent except the TV. The channel guide bore no relationship to what was on which channel.

Friendly and attentive staff from front desk to housekeeping. Very clean room with beautiful view. Full use of all amenities offered by High Peaks. Walking distance to downtown shops & restaurants. Great stay!
