Mirror Lake Inn

When dreaming of New York, one usually thinks of skyscrapers, Times Square, and honking yellow taxis. But the best of New York is actually far, far away from the city. At the Northeast corner of the state, the quiet and rustic Adirondack Mountains offer a deep retreat. Tucked in the mountains is Mirror Lake. Here, play like a local and take a dog sled ride or ice skate on the frozen lake in winter. In  the summer, you can go canoeing, kayaking, or swimming. The luxurious Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa sits on the lake’s shores, and offers plenty of R&R, including a luxury spa, swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi and yoga classes to unwind.
