On an unassuming narrow road lined with antique shops, a general store, and a local Church, Eastwind Hotel Lake Placid modestly blends in with its surroundings. The three owners were originally drawn to Lake Placid for its four-season location, offering access to nature and a quaint downtown designed to stroll through curving around Mirror Lake.
