Lake House at High Peaks Resort

The lake house building and rooms are very old. It was clean but the bathroom was small, tub wouldn’t drain properly, just overall cramped. Lake house could definitely use a major Reno.

You must go to High Peaks Hotel's lobby across the street to check into this Lake House.

The room was very clean and neat. Able to walk right into town. Easy.

Wasn’t sure of lake house floor plan. Booked a room with patio. My husband has a hard time with stairs. When we got there had to do stairs to get to our room. They looked to accommodate us but not hard enough. It wasn’t busy mid week. So unfortunately he had to do stairs in pain for the two days we were there.

Great amenities and amazing location. Close to great hiking trails. Walking distance to town with tons of restaurants and shops. The kayaks and being right on mirror lake were the best parts. Would definitely come back.

This was the first time staying at the Lake House having stayed at many other properties in lake placid. Location is great and the grounds are well kept, the rooms are a bit to be desired. We stayed in room 620 which was on ground floor and was the furthest away from the high peaks resorts where all the amenities actually are. When we asked to move to a closer room and hopefully on the second floor, we were told they were basically fully booked and couldn’t accommodate. This was clearly not the case as the hotel was basically empty all week given the max 5 cars we saw parked. The room from afar looked ok but once we settled in there was hair in the shower, obvious vomit marks in washroom walls, shower head was rusted, chairs outside were also rusted and paint all chipped off. The pool advertised in the lake house was not the pool in the building but across the street. The pool at the lake house should be closed to the public until they update and fix degrading floor and grates. We did not swim there for obvious reasons. The other pool was really nice and worth the walk over. Kayaks and paddle boats were a nice touch though which was part of the waterfront hotel location which well maintained. We got the impression that because we booked with Expedia we were put in a discount room. Just my thoughts, I have pictures of everything I just can’t post on this review platform

Nice Location,

Best place to be in Lake Placid. Great Location and View from the balcony! Close to everything. I was a little bit disappointed bc hotel looked like it has not been vacuumed for a while and the cleaning spray used to clean the surfaces and tables at the restaurant was making them stickies. Great food at Dancing Bear restaurant and very good service!

We have stayed at this property for forty years. The owners have not kept up with routine maintenance and upkeep to the rooms. The location is the best on Mirror Lake, but the owners are skimping on the small things. Not a good look.

We had a lovely stay. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We were there following a backpacking trip. The beds were comfy and nice view. There was tons to do with pools, games, boats, fire pits and more. We didn’t get to take advantage of it all but definitely would like to return to stay longer.
