A Classic Adirondack Escape, Reinvented for Today’s Families. 

HotelsEscape.com is thrilled to spotlight a destination that blends rustic charm with five-star family fun: Whiteface Lodge in Lake Placid. Nestled in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains—the birthplace of the term “vacation”—this luxurious all-suite resort offers an unforgettable summer experience that feels both timeless and refreshingly new.

This summer, Whiteface Lodge, winner of the 2025 Good Housekeeping Family Travel Award, takes classic camp-style vacations to the next level with lakeside feasts, live performances, wildlife encounters, and a slate of all-ages activities.

What’s New for Summer 2025

Buffets, Boils & Bakes
On Saturdays, the Canoe Club comes alive with seafood boils and clam bakes, accompanied by live music and sweeping lake views. It’s the perfect way to end an adventure-filled day and connect over a shared meal. For those staying through Sunday, a new BBQ buffet adds another delicious reason to linger.

Camp Canoe is Back
Parents rejoice: the resort’s beloved Camp Canoe returns this summer, running Monday through Friday. Kids enjoy supervised activities like arts, crafts, games, and outdoor exploration—freeing parents up for spa appointments, shopping, or local brewery visits.

Live Entertainers Add Surprise Magic
Expect the unexpected as magicians and comedians pop in throughout the season, bringing laughter and wide-eyed wonder to young guests and their parents alike.

Family Favorites That Keep Guests Coming Back

Lakeside Adventures Galore
Whether your family loves a thrill or a paddle at sunset, Whiteface Lodge delivers. Choose from cruising, wakeboarding, waterskiing, tubing, and more across three boats—or go low-key with complimentary kayaks, canoes, pedal boats, and paddle boards.

Meet the Birds of Prey
Nature comes to life during educational sessions led by a master falconer, who introduces guests to owls, hawks, and falcons while sharing insights into their behavior and conservation.

Sports for Everyone
Swing by the yurt to gear up for tennis, pickleball, mini golf, and basketball. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned player, there’s room to play at your pace.

Sweet Retreats at the Ice Cream Parlor
Cool off with a shake, float, or sundae from the on-site ice cream parlor, located just steps from the cozy movie theater.

Complimentary Entertainment Every Day
From tarot readings and face painting to nightly fireside s’mores, there’s something magical happening every night. The surround-sound movie theater, game room, and two-lane bowling alley keep the fun rolling even after dark.
