Whiteface Farm Bed and Breakfast.

Whiteface Farm Bed and Breakfast is a Wilmington B&B set up for active Adirondack travelers — bike-friendly (with lockable bike storage), ski-friendly (with ski storage), and a short drive from Whiteface Mountain itself.

The accommodation mix is unusually flexible: three deluxe rooms with king or queen feather beds, bathrobes, hair dryers, in-room refrigerators, and coffee makers; the Esther and Marble rooms have spacious private baths, while the Lookout room adds a king bed, private bath, and an in-room fireplace with sitting area. The property also offers a three-room suite, a one-bedroom apartment with full kitchen and jacuzzi bath, and two rooms that share a bath.

Common-area amenities include a sauna, an outdoor hot tub, satellite TV, free Wi-Fi, and a library with a fireplace. A full home-cooked breakfast is included — fresh eggs from a local farm, homemade baked goods, homemade granola, and as many local ingredients as the season supports.

Best for: cyclists, skiers, multi-day Whiteface visitors, and couples wanting a quieter B&B base outside the Lake Placid bustle.
