The Golden Arrow is set in the heart of Lake Placid on Mirror Lake. It is run by the Holderied family of Lake Placid, and the General Manager is Jennifer Holderied — a living, breathing example of one person who makes a green difference in many small ways.
We were greeted with a smile and a helping hand when we arrived and were quickly made to feel at home.
The resort was conceived by her parents, who purchased the small Golden Arrow Motor Inn in 1974, and developed it quickly over the next five years. The resort grew along with the town which expanded greatly before and after the Olympic Games. We arrived during the middle of the Celebrate Earth Day Locally Festival, where local farmers and community members had gathered to showcase a wide range of homegrown and homemade wares -- from soap, to meat, fruits and vegetables, spirits, and, of course, maple syrup.
