Savor Adirondack Alps Cuisine

Savor seasonal Flavors Through Time, from Summer Medieval Knights to Fall Taste of Germany menus.

We fuse an 100-mile farm-to-fork culinary focus with Old World imagination. Chef Cathy Hohmeyer's family originally built the Lake Clear Lodge in 1886, sold it, and eventually Ernest Hohmeyer's European family purchased it nearly 80 years later.
