For the past several years, we have a group that gets together annually for a fishing excursion in the Lake Placid area. This year, 7 of us were able to make it. We are from all areas in New York State - from Long Island to the Buffalo area, and even New Jersey. Some are retired and some are still... More

Just returned from another stay at my favorite Adirondack place, Paradox/Cedar Lodge in Lake Placid. The accommodations are very nice, the service is always friendly, and the food is the best in Lake Placid. Even if you're not staying at the Lodge,(which you should), then go there for dinner; it's the best in Lake Placid. Nan and Red make all... More

I have traveled to Lake Placid for over 30 years and in my travels, I have stayed at the most lavish hotel and the most family oriented hub. I love the town as it awakens everything beautiful within and brings to life being one with nature. The people, pubs, restaurants and boutiques all offer the same warmth and good nature... More

We have stayed here twice now in the fall to enjoy the hiking in the area. Rooms are clean, cute, cozy, and comfortable! Staff is helpful and friendly. Breakfast is so delicious, best pancakes I ever had. It is a quick walk into town to explore or enjoy the many restaurants. We will stay here again!

The Paradox Lodge is a place we return to every trip we take to Lake Placid for many reasons. The adirondack decor makes this lodge feel very homey. The owners, Nan & Red have made us feel at home every stay. Their hospitality would be hard to match. The rooms are really quaint and kept very clean. The location is... More

My wife and I were treated to a weekend at the Paradox Lodge n the village of Lake Placid,NY, site of the 1932 & 1980 winter Olympics, in NYS's beautiful Adirondack Mountains. Owners Moses ("Red") LaFountaine and his wife Nan totally renovated this 30 yr. abandoned property in the late 1990's into a charming, inviting setting that reflects the lore,... More

We stayed in the Treetop Suite for 2 nights and enjoyed it a lot. It is not super high end, but there is a lot of attention to detail that creates a very homey feel. The bed was actually wonderful--have not slept in a hotel bed that well in a long time. It is a bit off the main drag... More

The establishment pretended that I had never rescheduled my fully prepaid booking, refusing to acknowledge their mistake and pocketing the money. The same person I spoke to became aggressive and rude over the phone, pretending that we have never spoken before. That only left us stranded in the middle of high season, looking for the very few and very overpriced... More

Every new year we try to find a new and fun place on the East Coast to go to for New Years. Originally we planned on the Golden Arrow in Lake Placid, but after reading some of the reviews, both bad and good, we switched to the Paradox and were glad we did. The Paradox is about a 7min walk... More
