The Whiteface Lodge in Lake Placid, New York was already luxurious enough to make our list of the top ten U.S. resorts last year. It is even more of a draw now that it has opened the Spa at Whiteface Lodge. The intimate spa matches the rest of the resort with rustic wood timbers, antler chandeliers and stone water features. The spa includes a salon with hair, make-up and waxing services. There are six treatment rooms including a double suite for couples that includes a tub for two. There is also a wet treatment room with a Swiss shower. The spa uses the B Kamins' signature line and the Red Flower's signature line and offers treatments that reflect the setting such as Adirondack Forest Facials, the Whiteface Peak Facial, and Dreamcatchers' Massage Rites featuring a Maple Butter Massage which costs $135 for 50 minutes or $205 minutes for 80 minutes.

The Dogirondack Chair is a large pet bed that has the classic good looks of an Adirondack. The beds are built so that they are low to the ground, making it easy for dogs to hop up, and are made of wood with a painted red finish. Each of the armrests has a removable bowl set into it for treats and water. The chair comes in two sizes, small (20"H x 30" W x 25" D), for pets up to 25lbs, and large (23"H x 44" W x 33" D), for big dogs or for pairs who don't mind snuggling up. It includes the plush seat cushion. Price: $200 (large).

Folding Adirondacks: The Better Beach Chairs

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels

Cheap plastic beach chairs don't look that good, are rarely comfortable and don't last. A much better summer chair option is the classic looking Adirondack. It conveys a quiet sense of luxury because it's the kind of chair that people expect to see on a porch in the Hamptons. The Wall Street Journal's Catalogue Critic rated foldable Adirondacks this week. Their intention was to find a chair that could be stored for the winter, but why not store it in your trunk and take it down to the shore instead? Their winner in both comfort and ease of assembly was the Orvis Folding Adirondack. The delightful chair is made of hardwood, finished with weather-resistant acrylic in one of 3 colors. The chairs are $189 each.

Adirondack Estate, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

This charming Adirondack style home is a newer home but with rough-hewn touches that give it a rustic feel. The post and beam home in Bridgewater, Vermont sits on 247 acres with a pond, gardens, stone walls, meadows and mountain views. The 12,000-square-foot residence has wide pine and stone floors, five fieldstone fireplaces and open living spaces with French doors. The home combines country charm with modern amenities. A good example is the tiled kitchen with the antiqued details and the easily accessible television monitor. The home is listed at $7.9 million and includes a wine cellar and two hot tubs. After the jump, country modern goes too far with a glass shower enclosure in a fieldstone bathroom.
