LAKE PLACID, NY (July xx, 2011) – The Whiteface Lodge, Lake Placid recently launched a new summer "Family Fun, Four-Night" package to showcase its artfully appointed, spacious three-bedroom suites. The Lodge is the only all-suite resort in the Adirondacks.

The new program, aimed at families, groups of friends, reunions and other small gatherings, allows guests to enjoy the Lodge's elegant, Adirondack-themed, three-bedroom, three-bathroom suites, ranging in size from 1,563-square-feet to 1,883-square-feet. Designed to provide all the comforts of home, all three-bedroom suites feature a fully equipped kitchen, a separate living room, three spacious bedrooms, a "sleeper sofa" in the living room and a cast iron gas fireplace.

"The 'Family Fun, Four-Night' package offers a budget-friendly opportunity for families and groups of friends to enjoy the Lodge's vast array of inclusive and onsite recreational activities. Additionally, they may choose to visit the nearby Olympic attractions and explore the charming village of Lake Placid," said Phil Anderson, General Manager, the Whiteface Lodge.
