Whiteface Lodge is a luxurious all-suite resort located in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains in Lake Placid, New York. The resort is situated on over 700 acres of land and offers stunning views of Whiteface Mountain and Lake Placid. The lodge is a popular destination for families, couples, and groups alike, offering a variety of activities and amenities to suit all interests.
Our family spent three relaxing days at the resort and were truly pleased with what amenities Whiteface had to offer including a movie theater, bowling alley and even a dedicated area for me to sneak off to and enjoy a cigar. The resort received a verified luxury designation from Forbes as the service and suite were second to none. It definitely gave off Yellowstone vibes which happens to be my wife’s favorite show.

All rooming options are beautifully sequined with rustic décor and feature amenities such as full kitchens, fireplaces, and private balconies.

Candidly, it’s the biggest room we’ve ever stayed in. The well-stocked kitchenette made cooking an option in addition to the incredible room service.
