For outsiders who have never been here, "waterfront" may be the last thing folks think of when they think of Upstate New York. But for those who know the area and those of us who live here, we know the stunning truth: our beautiful lakes are home to some of the finest waterfront destinations on the planet.

Whether the backdrop is a green mountainside or a rainbow of fall foliage, it does not get much better than sitting lakeside in the Empire State. Apparently, USA Today readers agree with that sentiment!

USA Today readers have voted the Mirror Lake Inn on Lake Placid as the 5th best waterfront hotel in America. Which is a pretty high honor considering this comes from a nationwide publication. Here is what USA Today has to say about one of our favorite inns:
