A Fire Sale--Literally--On Lake Placid
Six weeks ago, a fire destroyed part of a great resort, the Lake Placid Lodge, in upstate New York. However, many of the luxury cabins were not damaged, and management is offering 60% off original rates for all of 2006. Which means a cabin with a view of the lake that normally costs $700 is now $325 a night. There are 12 guest cabins, including a two-bedroom suite that was formerly $1,100 a night and is now $550.
If you've always wanted to visit the gorgeous Adirondacks and the Lake Placid region, this is the place to stay. The special deal includes a full American breakfast and free use of sporting equipment for winter (cross-country skis, snow shoes, and sleigh rides) and summer (bikes, kayaks, canoes, and guide boats for nightly cruises on the lake). And all details are five-star, from the lavish breakfasts to the apple cider pound cake during turndown in the winter.
One cabin has been converted to a dining area serving breakfast and light lunches. Dinner will be served there beginning in the summer. Another cabin is a mini-theater with nightly movies complete with a popcorn machine and open bar. Both the theater cabin and the dining cabin offer an open bar. A third cabin is a game room and library.
In addition to the loss of the main lodge building (with its dining rooms and 17 guest rooms), the lodge lost a wine collection it estimates to have been worth $250,000. Management is in the process of rebuilding its cellar.
For details and reservations, call 518-523-2700.
