With enhanced safety protocols in place, this AAA Four Diamond Lake Placid property finishes first among waterfront properties in Northeast and third in the nation
Lake Placid, N.Y., August 7, 2020 - Thanks to its many
fans, friends and followers, the Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa in Lake Placid landed on the podium in USA Today’s 10Best
Readers’ Choice polling for best waterfront properties.
In a lineup featuring the 20 best waterfront properties in
the country as submitted by a panel of travel industry experts, the iconic
resort property in the Adirondack Mountains of Upstate New York, scored a gold
medal as the #1 lakefront resort in the Northeast and a bronze medal as the #3
overall waterfront resort in the nation.
The month-long voting process ended on July 27. This is not
the first time the Inn has enjoyed recognition by USA Today, having earned
10Best silver medal and two bronze medals in previous polls.
“It’s really fantastic to be held in such high regard, first
by the industry panel that nominated us, and then by our guests and fans,” said
Ed Weibrecht, owner of the Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa. “To do this repeatedly
makes all of us here very happy and proud. In particular, I am ecstatic with
the efforts of our staff in this new pandemic environment to take a spotless,
meticulously cleaned resort and enhance it, helped by the investments we made
in ultraviolet cleaning technology and the installation of new health protocols
to keep staff and guests as safe as possible.”
Earlier this summer, the Mirror Lake Inn was notified of its
lofty status by travel editors from USA Today. From the initial editor’s list,
a Readers’ Choice poll determined the USA Today 10Best in that category.
Thanks to strong support from its guests and followers, the
only AAA Four Diamond lodging and dining combination in the Adirondacks
collected this honor among the national paper’s 10Best waterfront resorts in
the USA.
“We are very fortunate to have the physical location that we
enjoy on Mirror Lake. Being nestled right on the lakeshore with the Adirondack
High Peaks in the background certainly gets people’s attention,” continued
Weibrecht. “But it would mean very little without the level of service provided
by our staff."
“To be voted so close to the top spot among all these
amazing properties is a true achievement and made possible by our outside
employees whose meticulous care of the property is so impressive. And it’s the
same attention to guest service by our inside staff that continues to always
put us among the very best.”
The top vote-getter was Acqualina Resort and Spa near Miami
Beach, while the Ocean House in Rhode Island was runner-up. Both are oceanfront
resorts along the Atlantic.
The honor for the Mirror Lake Inn is added to the list of
recent notable achievements the Inn has accumulated, starting in June with the
AAA Four Diamond Award for 36 consecutive years in the lodging category –
second longest in New York State - and 13 years in a row for The View
Restaurant.

“The Mirror Lake Inn certainly appreciates these kinds of
plaudits. But in doing so, it also brings attention to Lake Placid as a world
class destination. We are blessed and thankful for the wonderful support we
receive from our fans and followers, who support not only the Inn, but also
support Lake Placid,” concluded Weibrecht.
