Adventure Has No Age Limits

hf-placid_sum3Nestled in the High Peaks region of the Adirondack Mountains, Whiteface Lodge is nuzzled by picturesque woodlands and just minutes from a storybook village that boasts an Olympic-sized reputation.

Hello family fun
With vibrant all-season activities for the young and the restless, as well as plenty to do for more mature members of the party, Whiteface Lodge is family friendly and then some. Thoughtful service and rustic trappings provide a welcome greeting, while nature lovers will celebrate the one-of-a-kind timber design and hand-crafted furnishings that ooze an uber-comfy camp vibe.

The great outdoors
Depending on the time of year, game rooms with billiards, shuffle boards and a bowling alley jostle for time on the “reconnecting” agenda with ice skating, catch-and-release fishing and water sports at the Lake Placid Canoe Club. More interested in relaxing? The
maple butter body wrap and the unique “outdoorsman facial” will have you flocking to The Spa at Whiteface, where the therapists promise to pick you up or slow you down…hf-placid_sum2

Adirondack-inspired cuisine
Meals are open-kitchen casual and “American local” is king. Come the even-ing, three- or four-course wine-pairing experiences and live entertainment take Kanu, the lodge’s premier restaurant, to a new level. After dinner, head to an elegant, hand-crafted lean-to—an inviting spot for cigars, cocktails and warm blanket snuggles around twilight bonfires.

Just far enough away to feel like a real holiday destination, Whiteface Lodge is truly a modern-day nod to the legendary Adirondack Great Camps of days gone by.
