Reconnect with nature in the heart of the Adirondacks.

Our read

You sleep close to the weather, and it stays small enough to feel like a house rather than a hotel.

Come here for

  • Small groups and solo travellers who dislike crowds
  • Sleeping outdoors without giving up a real bed
  • Swimming, paddling or simply staring at water

Skip it if

  • You want resort scale, with several restaurants and a crowd to disappear into
  • You want to arrive on a whim — reaching it takes planning
  • You want restaurants and an evening scene within walking distance

We’d rather send you somewhere else than send you somewhere that doesn’t suit you.
