Once a classic 1960s motor lodge, the Lakeview Motor Inn has been completely reinvented. After a multi-million dollar renovation, the property is now the 44-room Lake House, situated on the shores of Mirror Lake. The inn blends Adirondack style with a warm ski-chalet atmosphere, offering oversized rooms with designer furnishings, complimentary WiFi, and private balconies or patios that frame views of the lake and surrounding mountains.
The Lake House features a cozy public bar where guests can relax with craft beers and regional spirits while enjoying scenic vistas. Water activities are available on Mirror Lake, and guests may also use the pool and leisure facilities at High Peaks Resort, which sits directly across the street.
Fall is a particularly appealing time to visit—guests can book the Lake House’s Fall Foliage Your Way package, with rates starting at $145 per room, per night, including breakfast. Travelers might time their stay to coincide with Lake Placid’s seasonal events, such as Oktoberfest (early October), featuring German beer, music and dancing, or the Flaming Leaves Festival (mid-October), with live blues performances and barbecue offerings.
The Lake House’s combination of updated accommodations, lakeside setting and nearby resort amenities makes it a comfortable base for outdoor recreation and seasonal festivals in the Adirondacks.
