Special Event Amenities
Welcome to Our Nature
Our 1886 main lodge awaits you with our hand-hewn dining room, Fireside Rathskeller and the Adirondack's only hand-crafted Wine & Beer Cellar. All provide opportunities for special celebrations, interactive educational programs, private meetings and romantic exploration. A meandering cover walk-way takes you to our new Lake-view Retreat Center built in Adirondack artisan style by the family from milled wood from the property. Three styles of hand-crafted lodgings welcome you from B&B rooms in the main lodge to secluded private cabins and lake-side suites. The comfort of natural and holistic amenities canvass our 25-acre landscape of hydrotherapy steam showers, fireplaces, great camp rooms, a mile of nature trails and 3-acres of panoramic lake-front on picturesque Lake Clear.
Hand-crafted Accommodations
We offer three (3) styles of accommodations:
B&B rooms each with differing motifs and all with individual baths in our 1886 Lodge Individual hand crafted chalets spread throughout our 25
acres largely built from milled wood from our property. Each chalet has a
fireplace with miniature Adirondack Great Camp feel.
Lakeside suites with fireplaces, sitting decks and incredible lake views. Built

calls of the loons and may see our resident bald eagle.
