Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort

This Resort is an excellent facility with a gorgeous view and more important has personality and a staff that excels at customer service. Anybody can construct a building but it takes extra effort to genuinely provide caring customer service. A special thanks to Vinny My Cousin for all his assistance. You Made A Difference! Thank you also to Jess, Kim, Tammy and Christina for making our stay special. And finally thank you to Alex for all your efforts to make our anniversary stay special. If you want to select a Resort that is more than just a building, consider staying at the Golden Arrow. Another special shout out to the Bartender who made the best "Old Fashions" that we have tasted in a while.

This is our third time and always great. Clean, bathrooms newly updated. Facilities always fully functioning. Beach is easily accessible. Always chairs and towels available. Kid friendly and safe beach. They even added a snack hut to the beach. Nightly fires for s’mores, which front desk gives snore kits for each kid. I can’t say enough good things.

My wife and I stayed at the Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort while celebrating our 30th anniversary, and it was exactly the kind of Adirondack escape we were hoping for. The location is hard to beat. Being right on Mirror Lake gives you those classic Lake Placid views, with the water, the mountains, and the peaceful feel of the Adirondacks all around you. They provide kayaks, canoes, water bicycles for free. Lots of places to sunbath. It was the kind of place where you could slow down, enjoy a coffee, sit by the water, and really take it all in. The staff were warm and welcoming, and we really appreciated the way they treated us during such a special trip. It made our anniversary feel even more memorable. Thank you for the gifts. The resort is also in a great spot for walking around Lake Placid ( you are literally on the main street). Shops, restaurants, coffee stops, and the lake itself are all close by, so it was easy to enjoy the town without feeling like we had to drive everywhere. Origin coffee is 5 mins walk. Or you can drive to caprice coffee which is around 5 mins drive. Be sure to check out the Olympic Museum, John Browns Farm, and go up the Olympic Ski Jumping Complex to see views. We may do Whiteface next year. I even brought along a crime thriller inspired by Lake Placid and the High Peaks, and reading it by Mirror Lake made the setting feel even more perfect. We left grateful, relaxed, and already missing the Adirondacks. If you’re considering Golden Arrow for a Lake Placid stay, especially for a special occasion, I’d happily recommend it. We will be back next year!
