What guests say
9.4 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 195 guest reviews
The Whiteface Lodge earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment, driven by genuinely exceptional, friendly staff and an impressive range of self-contained amenities — pools, spa, activities, and dining — that make it easy for guests to never leave the property. The main gripes centre on value for money: some dining options (buffet, room service) are seen as overpriced or inconsistent for the rates charged, and a handful of reviewers note that parts of the property are beginning to show their age. Overall, the experience is viewed as premium and worth the splurge, particularly for families.
