Lake
Placid, NY – August 2019 / Newsmaker Alert / Thanks
to the many fans, friends and followers of the Mirror
Lake Inn Resort and Spa, once again the iconic Lake Placid property
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 Mirror Lake Inn scored
a gold medal as the #1 lakefront resort and a bronze medal as the #3 overall
waterfront resort. The month-long voting process ended on July 29. This
is not the first time the Inn has enjoyed recognition by USA TODAY,
having earned 10Best silver and bronze medals in previous polls.
“It’s
really fantastic to be held in such high regard, first by the industry
panel, and then by our guests and fans,” said Ed Weibrecht, owner of the
Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa. “To do this three times in recent years
makes all of us here very happy and proud.”
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. 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.
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 35 consecutive years in the lodging category – second longest in New
York State – and 12 years in a row for The
View Restaurant.

“The
Mirror Lake Inn certainly enjoys 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.
