Winter Stay, Speakeasy, & Sleigh Ride
You’ll need a password to get in and we may be raided by a Prohibition Copper! Lantern-lit sleigh rides, warming fires in family built lodgings, and soul-warming foods.
The Adirondack Great Lodge Experience
As one of the last of its kind, we honor the lore of the Adirondack Great Camps which were all about immersive experiences. Our family provides not just Adirondack lodging, but a themed seasonal experience for you to discover our nature and reconnect with yours.
Shh...You'll Need A Password To Get In
We were open during the 1920s and some interesting things happened here in these Sylvan woods, a mere 2 hours away from those Canadian rum runners and those of us who had “spirit(s)”! Some which we will tell you, others we’ll leave you clues to discover. And speaking of history, as now the oldest operating lodge in the 6 million acre Adirondack Park, beginning in 1886 with Cathy (Fisher-Otis, now Hohmeyer) family who conceived it as a stagecoach inn, we keep this National Geographic Traveler award winning “sense of place,” with lantern-lit sleigh rides! The result is a magical, mysterious and fun place to re-live an iconic Adirondack winter experience (and we may the only ones left where you can do this in one place, so book now!)
A Crackling Fire & A Place to Snuggle
Your own secluded chalets hand-crafted by 3 generations of family. Contemplate and rejuvenate from the crackling embers of your own fireplace or book a lake-view suite with bubbling Jacuzzi.

A Winter Speakeasy Experience
You will need a password to get in, but you’ll have to find the hidden door first. Once in the 1920’s Speakeasy with immense fireplace beware- we may be raided!
