Perched on a hilltop above a serene lake in the heart of the Adirondacks, Mirror Lake Inn Resort & Spa affords stunning views of the surrounding area. Visit Oct. 19 - March 31 and save more than 50% on this AAA 4-Diamond property that Conde Nast Traveler readers recently deemed the No. 1 Resort in the Northeast.

For $159 per night Sundays-Thursdays, settle into what Frommer's calls "the most elegant rooms in town," or stay the weekend for an additional $50 per night. This offer also includes a $40 credit for the on-site spa, two cocktail tokens and complimentary Wi-Fi.

Catch the end of the fall foliage season in the Adirondacks or visit in winter, when Lake Placid is transformed into a snowy wonderland. Set on seven wooded acres, the resort offers complimentary snowshoe rentals and dishes out advice to first-timers about nearby trails.

After a day in the brisk outdoors, unwind with a Hot Toddy at one of two on-site bars, savor a sumptuous meal at the hotel's 4-Diamond restaurant or twirl on the ice skating rink on Mirror Lake by the light of an evening bonfire.
