Town House Lodge offers a walk-everywhere location. You’re not “on the outskirts”, you’re in the village. From downtown shops and restaurants to the boat launch or trailheads, you can be ambulating rather than commuting. 

Guests can also expect modern amenities in an Adirondack package. As with other Weekender properties, guests enjoy super-easy contactless check-in, Alexa and the latest tech amenities in rooms, lightning-fast WiFi, deluxe Beekman 1802 soaps and Keurig coffee makers, high-definition smart TVs with streaming services, stylish communal spaces, and a fire pit & BBQ area for social gatherings.

It’s a great destination year-round – whether you’re in Lake Placid for winter skiing or summer lake paddling, the Lodge serves as a “basecamp” for all seasons. You’ll also enjoy a sense of community / local connection. The Weekender philosophy — making every day the weekend — emphasizes connection to nature, to each other and to the local vibe.

Tips to make your Lake Placid stay the best it can be.

  • Walk everywhere: Use your location advantage. Grab a coffee or breakfast on Main St., explore lakeside shops in the evening, stroll Mirror Lake or pop into the Olympic museum. The Lodge is ideally placed for that.

  • Pack layers: The Adirondacks are four seasons. Chillier evenings, even in summer. Weather can change on a dime, so when you pack, think layers, and don’t forget a rain jacket or umbrella.

  • Try a guided outdoor experience: Whether it’s a scenic hike, a paddle on the lake, or in winter, some snow-shoeing/skiing, the Lodge can be your hub. Check out our recommendations for all the best things to do in the Tri-Lakes and High Peaks region.

  • Bring your dog: If you’re a pet-owner, jump on a pet-friendly room early. Lake Placid has trails and places that welcome well-behaved pups.

  • Off-season magic: Consider fall (leaf peeping), spring (less crowded trails), winter (Olympic winter sports). The Lodge is open year-round.

  • Reserve early for key events: If you’re visiting during the Lake Placid Film Festival, a special winter event, or a ski holiday, book ahead. Prime downtown lodging tends to go quickly.
