LAKE PLACID, N.Y. (AP) — When Lise Luckie and her husband Len need to flee the hustle and bustle of their advertising business in Montreal, they make a beeline for the Mirror Lake Inn.

“It’s so welcoming,” said Luckie. “The people here are so nice. Every time we walk in, it’s like they haven’t seen us in five years.” That’s saying a lot, because the Luckies have stayed at the inn more than 90 times since the early 1980s.
