A Glorious Winter Escape at Whiteface Lodge in the Adirondacks

We arrived at Whiteface Lodge in the first week of December, just as Lake Placid was easing into its winter rhythm. Snow rested lightly on the rooftops, Main Street glowed with early seasonal lights, and the mountains stood quiet and blue in the distance. The lodge is only minutes from the centre of Lake Placid, close enough to wander into town yet wrapped in its own peaceful Adirondack atmosphere.

When I stepped into the lobby, the lodge was in the middle of raising its enormous Christmas trees—one in the lobby, another in the dining room. These weren’t ordinary trees; they were towering evergreens that required a coordinated team to guide them into place. Watching them being lifted and secured, with the scent of fresh pine drifting through the air and the fireplaces crackling nearby, felt like walking straight into a winter storybook. It was festive in the most natural way, warm and comforting without a hint of excess.

My suite continued that feeling of mountain‑side comfort. It felt more like a private residence than a hotel room, with a stone fireplace, a full kitchen, a deep soaking tub, and a ground-floor patio nestled next to the snow‑covered trees. The handcrafted woodwork and warm lighting made it easy to settle in. I found myself thinking that every detail seemed designed to make you slow down and relax.
