Lake Placid is a year-round playground for families, and the resorts here are built to match that energy. Stay at Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort for direct Mirror Lake access, kayaking, paddle boating, indoor and outdoor pools, and a kids' club. Rooms come with mini-fridges, and the on-site Generations Restaurant serves locally sourced meals. Expect to pay around $200-$350 per night for a family suite, with free parking and Wi-Fi included.
For an upscale option, The Whiteface Lodge sits 2.4 km from the village center and offers suites with full kitchens, a private beach, bowling, billiards, an ice skating rink, and Kamp Kanu-a supervised children's program. The resort also has a spa, indoor/outdoor pools, and multiple dining venues. Both resorts provide non-smoking family rooms and are within 10 minutes' walk of Main Street's shops and restaurants. Book early for summer or winter holidays, as these properties fill up fast.
