The Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa offers a summer floral presentation that's in full bloom
"...we have a terrific location overlooking Mirror Lake. But what our staff does to enhance that location with a stunning floral presentation and meticulous care of the grounds is really impressive.” - owner Ed Weibrecht
Lake Placid, NY (PRWEB) August 11, 2016
In early July, Lake Placid’s Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa was notified by travel editors from USA Today that it is one of the 20 best waterfront properties in the country. From the initial editor’s list, a reader’s poll would determine the USA Today 10Best in that category.
Thanks to strong support from its guests and followers, the only AAA Four Diamond lodging and dining property in the Adirondacks collected a bronze medal, finishing third among the national paper’s 10Best waterfront resorts in the USA.
“This is the kind of accolade that speaks volumes about our setting, our presentation and the level of service we offer,” said Mirror Lake Inn owner Ed Weibrecht. “To come out of the voting so highly ranked, among all those outstanding properties, is quite an achievement for us.
“What stands out to me is the fact that, yes, we have a terrific location overlooking Mirror Lake. But what our staff does to enhance that location with a stunning floral presentation and meticulous care of the grounds is really impressive.”
The top vote-getter was the Watkins Glen (N.Y.) Harbor Hotel, followed by the Ritz-Carlton in Amelia Island, Fla.
This honor for the Mirror Lake Inn is added to the list of recent notable achievements the Inn has accumulated over the years, starting with the AAA Four Diamond Award for 32 consecutive years in the lodging category and nine years in a row for The View Restaurant.

“This is not only good for the Mirror Lake Inn, but it’s also a win for Lake Placid. This kind of exposure for all of us would just not be possible to buy,” concluded Weibrecht.
