My husband pointed out the various wood furniture that is "quarter-sawn oak" which means it is Depression-era or older! The house also includes a Grandfather Clock as well as NUMEROUS clocks on the fireplace mantle. It's enjoyable to hear the Cuckoo Clock go off at the top of the hour. Aggie is a very friendly and gracious hostess. She also makes a "mean breakfast." This morning, we had Raspberry Pancakes with maple syrup. They were fluffy as well --- excellent! Aggie was very helpful in helping us find the local attractions in the area. When we asked about swimming, Aggie even gave us beach towels. I was writing postcards and asked about stamps. She even gave us that as well. This has been a very relaxing stay. You can not go wrong with booking a room at Winterberry Bed and Breakfast. Caveat: There are only three rooms to the b & b, so, don't delay! Enjoy your stay.

This is a restaurant review, cannot comment on inn. Also would be 4.5 if possible…read more If you're looking for private, personal, and comfortable dining experience this is a great place to go. It seems the way this place is setup is there are only a handful of tables and each reservation is off-set by about 30 minutes. As other review state it is a husband (the chef) and wife (head waitress) duo who head this restaurant inn. I booked the reservation over a month in advance and I'm pretty sure it is necessary if you plan to go. The food- Fantastic and Different. Wild Boar Sausage - this was delicious, possibly the best sausage dish I ever had. This dish was literally bursting with flavor served with red wine sauce and mushrooms. Elk Loin - Delicious and before you ask, no it wasn't gamey! The service - Great personal service from the staff, however sometimes the head waitress let her opinions be known. She made it clear that she wasn't exactly happy with all the out of town business she was getting from their rave reviews. She also made odd comments on what she thought was proper male-female etiquette when the two of us were clearly joking about who was paying the bill. She also made a sarcastic comment saying she couldn't believe that we actually had manners enough for me to let my significant take the seat being held out for her, stating that most couples leave her speechless when the male takes the seat being held out. The service itself was great but some of her comments could have been left out even if she didn't mean anything by it. The price - VERY REASONABLE. Two appetizers, two entrees and a bottle of wine, about $100. The atmosphere - Business Casual? Lodgey clothes here. The place itself literally is set in the living room of the inn, but they take a lot of pride in the restaurant and I would dress the part. Again there are only a few tables, and reservations are off-set so it is very intimate. Overall - Delicious Exotic Game cooked the way you have never had it! Very intimate, romantic atmosphere! Good yet opinionated service. A can't miss if you're visiting lake placid!

For our 8th annual Sisters' Gathering, we chose Paradox Lodge and it perfectly met our needs and…read moreinterests. Located a few blocks from "downtown" and, therefore, in a bit of a quieter area, this B&B has a Adirondack-meets-Lake Placid Olympics-meets-comfy-retro feel to it. Rustic touches abound everywhere, the grounds, which abut the end of Lake Placid, have thoughtful and colorful plantings, hanging flower baskets, old milk cans, wooden skis, Radio Flyer Wagons, and bird houses. We took advantage of the 3 kayaks, and there is also a canoe. We lazed away afternoons on rocking Adirondack chairs, wooden chaises, and enjoyed our home-made meals (there is a refrigerator that guest can store food in, which is a really generous touch) under the twinkling, nighttime lights of the umbrella-d picnic table, The rooms are decorated with much attention to detail, the beds were super comfy, although the Lodge is on the main drag, even with the windows wide open we did not hear a sound from the McDonald's across the street, the sink mounted on an antique Singer Sewing Machine table is cool, the clawfoot mini-tubs are fun, although a little difficult to maneuver in and out from because the shower curtain is attached all the way around. A really good breakfast, prepared mostly by Moses/Red, co-owner with his wife, Nan, is served with panache (and a tableside visit and stand-up comedy from Red), vintage plates, and, wait for it...the New York Times! Both Red and Nan share their thoughts, hiking and swimming hole suggestions and local and national/political gossip. From the location, to the decor, to the hospitality, to the great sleep, the lakeside view and kayaks, the hiking, walking, drinking, eating, and blabbing that we did, we could not have asked for more.

The innkeeper was super nice and kind. She not only provided us with a delicious hot breakfast every morning, but also offered us hors d'oeuvre before dinner. She was extremely accommodating in every aspect. The inn was well kept and there was plenty of extra towels and amenities. The "living room" was a great place to gather and meet people from around the world! The beds were very comfortable and warm. We could see Whiteface from our pillow! The only complaint I have is that in golf room #3 the water does not drain well in the tub. Probably an easy fix though! Overall, we had a wonderful time at the Inn and would recommend it to anyone!

It was breathtaking, a fantastic experience. Of course you have high expectations when going…read moresomewhere like this, but I did not expect the level of high quality details at every turn. For example, we didn't know there would be a birds of prey talk on Monday evening- we got to see owls and a hawk! My partner even got to hold an owl!! And I didn't expect the snowshoe trails to be as gorgeous and well maintained as they were, and we had a nice little map provided to us. I didn't expect the delicious Nespresso coffee maker in the room, or the bath salts for the tub. I didn't expect the prompt service at ever turn and to feel totally taken care of in our little cabin home. We simply have to plan a trip back. We want to visit in every different season, because I'm sure it has lots to offer in each! I'd definitely recommend. My only gripe is wishing the food were better, but its good enough. And the surroundings and accommodations make it well worth it overall. Bravo!

Would go back…read more PROS - The Devlin appears like an old-school Alpine style motel, but honestly it was so much nicer. Everything was super clean, the room was spacious, very clean and had new carpeting and recently updated bathroom. The grounds were incredibly well maintained - lovely pool area and firepit with free smore's fixings at the front desk. Front desk personnel were very nice. Founded by an Olympian Ski Jumper Arthur Devlin years ago - all of his medals and trophys are in the small lobby/sitting area in an interesting display. Free filtered water machine to refill your water bottle. Sits right at the start of Main Street so town, the Olympic Center and Mirror Lake are nearby. We did drive to get to far end of Main (lazy night) but you can walk if you don't mind a bit of uphill to start and a bit of a walk. Room had a leather recliner in it which made us laugh, bc you never see that in a hotel, but honestly my husband was thrilled. No idea if those are in every room. We had 2 queens suite with mountain view. Ground floor. Would have liked to see what view was from upper level room, but even with ground floor our deck faced the mountain and wasn't obscured. Room to improve - No vending machines or even water to buy. While they do offer a free filtered fountain for bottle refills, sometimes you just want a new bottle. Minor issue. Went to gas station across the street.

Literally one of the best vacations I've ever had. From the second we checked in until we…read moretearfully had to check out, it was just a magical experience. We brought my mother-in-law here to celebrate her birthday and we hoped she'd like the laid back pace of a quaint lake town and she loved it. We had rooms in the lake cottage and our room (5L) has to be the best room on the property because you have a corner view with a wraparound porch and the vistas day and night are stunning. She had 7L and she loved it as well. Our room was cleaned thoroughly every day and everything worked perfectly. The shower was awesome. A lot of times in an older property things are a bit creaky but our room was perfect (once we figured out how to turn off the temperature light on the AC at night). The only tweak I'd make to our room would be to add a ceiling fan, but that's just a personal preference. We had massages at the spa and that was nice. I had a great masseur and enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub in the spa afterwards. There is an indoor pool area with a jacuzzi and an outdoor hot tub. Apparently there used to be an outdoor pool but that was removed a couple of years back. That would have been nice. We ate at the View, the Cottage and the bar and I've reviewed the restaurants separately. The bar was a great place for some shared snacks and desserts along with excellent cocktails and wonderful service. I loved just sitting on a rocking chair in a small screened in porch off the main lobby reading a book. It was so peaceful. The study area has tables and a fireplace and that was a wonderful setting to write cards to friends. As you can tell, we loved it here. There are some caveats: It's not cheap (though it's worth it, in my opinion) and parts of the main building are a bit worn and/or dated. However, the service is great from everyone, the place is spotless and comfortable and the vibe is exceptional. I've never wanted to stay any place longer as much as I wanted to stay at Mirror Lake Inn. I really want to come back in winter to see what it's like. This was simply a lovely experience from beginning to end.

We were charmed. PROS - Location location location. The cabins are located right in the center of things, never more than 30-45 min from all mayor hikes. - Cozy and comfortable. Each cabins comes equipped with most basic amenities (coffeemaker, toaster, pots and pans, dishes, silverware and glassware) - Parking is very close to each cabin, so you never have to walk more than a few steps. CONS - Wifi, even though it was offered we had mixed feelings on this. My boyfriends phone picked it up right away, mine never did. This was from our cabin, so perhaps if you were closer to main house it would have been better? I think they need a better wifi connection. - No microwave. I wish I had ask more specific questions. - Not that many hooks in the cabin. We did long winter hikes and needed a way to hang our clothes only to realize that there weren't that many hooks. We improvised by hanging in curtain rods and on the doors. This could be quite helpful. Overall, it was a good value for the money. Wayne is a great host. We never made it to the main cabin so perhaps some of the above would have been different.
