DESCRIPTION:

The Whiteface Lodge is an exquisitely handcrafted property, created from the majestic timbers of the region by the last of a breed of artisans whose talents are manifest in natural materials, such as wood, fiber and stone. The elegantly rustic Lodge offers guests an opportunity to experience – with all of their senses – the familial comforts and amenities of the classic “Great Camps” of the Adirondacks. In times past, the region was dotted with privately owned enclaves geared to relaxing reunions with family and friends. The Whiteface Lodge updates this tradition for a new generation. Open since 2005, the Lodge is the most significant development to launch in Lake Placid since the village hosted the 1980 Winter Olympics. The Adirondack Regional Tourism Council honored The Whiteface Lodge with the Annual Private Sector Tourism Partnership Award for the largest Adirondack tourism infrastructure investment in the last century.

The Lodge offers 94 beautifully appointed accommodations, a three-story Great Room and beautifully manicured grounds, as well as year-round, indoor/outdoor guest amenities. Geared to couples, families and groups of friends, The Whiteface Lodge provides an environment where people can disconnect from the pace of everyday life and reconnect on a genuine and personal level.
