Adirondack glamping at its best.
Eastwind offers guests the option of staying in one of its cabins designed by Lushna, a global company of bioclimatic architects, adventurers, outdoor enthusiasts, wood builders, and hospitality experts who believe true glamour is nature.
Immerse yourself in nature in one of Eastwind’s luxe glamping cabins.
The Lushna cabins offer guests a chance to immerse themselves in nature without giving up the creature comforts many of us cherish. The cabins are available year-round.
These exquisite nature-inspired jewel box cottages have en-suite bathrooms with showers, AC, heating, WiFi, mini fridge, electric kettles with coffee and tea kits, and a patio and BBQ area. They are also dog-friendly and, like the rest of the property, non-smoking.
The Lushna Petite cabins are 170 square feet, while the Lushna Suites, Eastwind’s signature luxury cabins, are around 400 square feet and provide stunning Chubb River views. They offer a loft bed, writer's nook, sofa, and a private deck.
Immerse yourself in forever wild nature.
One of the greatest appeals of Eastwind Hotel is its proximity to the great outdoors. Lake Placid and the six million acres of the Adirondack region offer many recreational opportunities year-round, and the hotel serves as the perfect base camp for exploration.
During warmer months, guests can take the Eastwind’s private-access stairs down to the beautiful grass-laden landing and explore the banks of the Chubb River. They can also embark on nearby hiking trails that wind through lush forests, climb one of the famous Adirondack High Peaks, kayak or paddleboard on nearby Mirror Lake, or simply bask in the tranquility of nature.
Come winter, the area transforms into a snow-covered wonderland, inviting visitors to ski, snowboard, and go ice skating on the frozen lake or at the Olympic Oval in Lake Placid Village.
Indulge in the area's finest restaurants.
While the property doesn’t have a full-service restaurant, guests can enjoy a cocktail in the delightful bar and lounge, reserved exclusively for hotel patrons. They offer seasonally-inspired hand-crafted beverages and cocktails using fresh ingredients.
The beer list features some of the area’s finest microbrews. Eastwind’s sommelier offers a constantly rotating selection of the finest wines and bubbles.
Savor gourmet Adirondack cuisine at nearby Salt of the Earth Bistro.
Eastwind is close to Lake Placid’s best restaurants. Lisa G’s and Salt of the Earth Bistro, two of our favorite spots, are only a 5-minute walk from the hotel.
Some of the region's finest dining options are within a short drive or an Uber or taxi ride. ADK Taste recommends Big Slide Brewery, The Hungry Trout and Forty Six, all within five to 20 minutes of the property.
Celebrating a special occasion? For those craving a more intimate culinary experience, Eastwind also offers a private dining option in a former blacksmith shop on the property where guests can enjoy an intimate dining experience for up to 10 people.
