New York City is known for having some of the most extravagant Christmas decorations in the country, but not even in the Big Apple can you experience a magical weekend like the one Lake Clear Lodge gives its visitors. If you’ve always wanted to find out what it feels like to ride in a horse-drawn carriage through the Adirondack wilderness, now is your chance.

Lake Clear Lodge is one of the dreamiest New York destinations when it comes to holiday vacations, and its trademark activity might be the most festive activity you could find this time of year: a stagecoach and sleigh ride.

The stagecoach rides get even cozier when winter comes around; the lodge offers lantern-lit sleigh rides from Lake Placid and Saranac Lake in partnership with a local farm. You can even book a sleigh ride followed by a three-course speakeasy dinner.
