I figured that the gondola would be worth it and if we chickened out when it came time to do the zipline, that would be fine. We really enjoyed the gondola ride up and the staff at the bottom and the top were so nice and helpful. We enjoyed taking the elevator to the top of the tall ski hill. Some great history of the Olympic games and how they ended up in Lake Placid a second time. The views were spectacular (even in the rain) and you really can't get a better vantage point. I would say if you have vertigo, getting close to the (safely protected) edges of the viewing platforms can make you a little dizzy because those hills are steep! In any event, we did the tour then went to the zipline. The guys working it were super friendly and helpful and they reassured about the daily testing and safety of the ride so we all decided to give it a go and it was definitely a highlight of our visit to Lake Placid. My mother-in-law enjoyed it so much! I was so glad we did it and appreciative of the workers for making us so comfortable. We decided to ride the gondola again back up and down the mountain to enjoy the view on the way down since we had our eyes closed on the zipline. Definitely a great place to visit while in Lake Placid.

By visiting here, you can take a gondola to the halfway point up, and then an elevator to the top of the highest jump. Gondola ride itself is very cool, and the elevator can be overwhelming however you can stay in the indoor cabin at the top versus going outside to climb the final staircase. It's crazy that from the very top, you cannot see the landing zone at the bottom. Expect a wealth of factoids and sweeping views of the area. The staff can answer just about any Olympics question you can think of. Came blame them, as this is a very cool place to work. Not sure how repeatable this is unless you upgrade to a tour with an athlete demonstrating the jump, or the zip line which launches from the hallway point, however at worst it's well worth the 1 visit.

You only need to bring your clothes, food, & family. So clean & comfortable. It was like walking into a home away from home. All the woodwork was amazing! I truly did not want to leave. Every day, a portion was set aside where I just sat on the deck or in the jacuzzi & stared at Whiteface Mountain. The view could not be beat in my opinion....until we actually went up to the peak of Whiteface Mountain! Wow!!!! A humbling experience & even though it terrified me, my family loved it & we were blown away by it's majesty. Hiking trails are nearby & the quaint village of Wilmington is only a 3 minute drive. As is Adirondack Chocolates! We came to commemorate the 1 year anniversary of my husband's passing. When ever my husband & I traveled, one thing we did was find a chocolatier & he would spoil me! So to discover this tiny town has one where the truffles are made on site was so special for me. They so have so many unique gifts & the BEST hoodies in their gift shop Our hosts, Judi & Aseem, were simply wonderful. They called to greet us the day we arrived. I mentioned the tiny liquor store was closed, so we were unable to purchase a bottle of wine to toast my husband. They came by the next day with two bottles from their private stock & we had a lovely conversation. Simply delightful, & gracious hosts. Truly touched my heart. Highly recommend ANY of their properties. You will NOT be disappointed & won't want to leave! We will be back for sure!! Thank you for such a memorable, worry-free vacation

This is an amazing campground! The North Pole Resort is a…read moretop tiered campground that knows exactly how a campground should be operated, from customer service to site arrangement and up keep! We had the privilege of staying in the 100 Acres section of the campground for a few nights in July and loved everything about our stay. The campground consists of two sections; the Resort section and the 100 Acre woods section (just 50 yards down the road). The resort section is located near the office and is a nice, more open, but spacious RV camping area. The 100-acre section is a wooded campground beautifully arranged and maintained. We stayed in the 100 Acres area and were very impressed with the layout of the sites, which were staggered/angled to put the most space between each site. We felt very secluded even though there were other sites around us. Our site was level, spotlessly clean and manicured, and had good water pressure and hookups. The combination restrooms/bathrooms were clean and conveyed a sense of regular maintenance being provided to them. Customer service is top notch and the staff prides themselves on welcoming guests as family. We overheard a current employee talking to a new employee stating that even if the campsite wasn't used prior to a new guest arriving, they always do a thorough check of the site to ensure everything is perfect! This impressed us and aligned with the overall sense of pride shown at NP campground. The camp store is probably one of the best stocked stores we have visited. Additionally, they had growler fills from 3 craft beers of tap right in the camp store!! We loved our stay at North Pole Resorts, which raised the bar pretty high for other campgrounds to live up to!

I recommend doing this so you have the dock and little beach all to yourself. It's a very affordable place with extremely nice owners. Lake Flower is stunning and it's a short ride into town by boat or car. We launch our boat at the town docks load up our belongings and drive the boat to the house and pick up the car later but there is access from the road to the house and if you have a smaller boat you could launch there except it's on a steep hill so you might still want to use public docks. The beds are not very comfortable but the beauty of the great outdoors makes me forget my achy back quickly after waking up. Come here for the beautiful view, private dock and spacious and affordable accommodations.

Our family loved the history, the cabin, the incredible scenic views, the Great Room and all the amenities WPC offers. We stayed in the larger Mrs. Coolidge's cabin, the same cabin Grace Coolidge stayed in the summer of 1926 when the camp served as the Summer White House for Calvin Coolidge. We took advantage of the huge living room fireplace and had a beautiful fire everyday for our week stay. The wood is well seasoned and burns nicely. It is charmingly rustic, clean and well appointed. The sofas are comfortable and the cabin had everything we needed. What it didn't have we asked in the office and Voila! they had it on hand. We needed a blender, a different bathtub plug and tape to fix a sled and every time they accommodated our needs. Worth noting: You can sometimes hear the next door neighbors in President's Cabin but it's only from the bedroom and it was nothing that the white noise machine that the camp provided wouldn't take care of. We didn't feel the need to use the machine since it was minimal. The beds were really comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. Complimentary toiletries greeted us in the bathroom and the cabin was always warm and toasty. Our bedroom also had a fireplace and it was quite special to fall asleep with the glow of the flames filling the room each night. The upstairs bedroom has two twin beds underneath ceiling windows that give view to the stars and tall trees above (which my twins LOVED). There is also a queen bed behind a folding screen for which my mother in law said was incredibly comfortable and a double bed behind a set of curtains which my son also slept soundly on. Both the upstairs bathroom and downstairs are full baths and have large, deep claw foot tubs with no lack of hot water for a good, long soak. The views from our cabin and from the grounds are absolutely breathtaking. This is a special spot and you can hear a pin drop almost anyplace you hike, walk or sit. We also spent time at nearby Paul Smiths College making use of the gym (passes provided by WPC allowed free access to the gym, pool, library and grounds) and also at the VIC at Paul Smiths for snowshoeing and hiking (again, free with passes) My kids enjoyed bowling in the antique bowling alley and playing pool while Mom, Dad & Grandma sat by the fire in yet another huge fireplace. They sledding everyday on the grounds behind the Great Room and had a blast. Afterwards, they went inside the Great Room and made themselves a hot cocca on the Kerig machine (overseen by Grandma), provided for guests (we bought the pods by mistake thinking they were pouches from Aldi in Saranac Lake but WPC provides coffee and tea for the Kerig for guests). We sat by yet another huge fireplace in the Great Room while reading and playing chess. Yes, there is internet but often sketchy at times since we were deep in the woods, which for us, was desirable. When my husband needed to catch up on work and needed a dependable internet connection, he just popped down the road to the Paul Smiths Library which he viewed as an adjunct office. The same as President Coolidge did in 1926 as I learned from reading a book by Howard Kirschenbaum from the cute, little gift shop just off the Great Room. This place is just pure magic. I've never been to a place more quiet and Tim, the innkeeper and the entire staff go above and beyond to maintain this sense of peace and quiet throughout the camp. Cars are parked nearby but not in the main camp and you barely can hear anyone else in camp during your stay. There was 2 foot of snow on the ground for our Thanksgiving stay week and it was delightful to be there in a winter like setting. It was cold but not windy at all and totally fine with layers. The air is clean and crisp and a perfect spots for viewing the stars. We have already booked a return stay for April 2019 for the school holiday week in the same cabin and cannot wait to return. Everything was simply perfect here.

The motel's office was really the owner's living quarters- basically it was a living room and bedroom with a 15-foot service counter. Between cigarette coughs, the owner checked us in and introduced us to her dog Bailey- named in honor of Bailey's Irish Cream. Yeah, that kind of set the tone. One of the prominent landmarks at the Hilltop Motel is it's 20-foot tall satellite dish that was apparently last maintained during the Carter administration. It sets new standards in the international world of paint-peeling competition. Despite the gargantuan satellite dish, the TV in the room only pulled in 5 stations, and two of them were duplicates. And as for the ambience in our room, well, let's suffice to say that it was an old-school motel room. Old showers, old windows, old everything. At least it was cheap
