All-inclusive wilderness lodge

12,000 Acres of Private Eco-Preserve Immersed in the High Peaks Region of the Adirondack Mountains.

Welcome to a world that is unchanged for hundreds of years - a timeless place that offers a unique wilderness experience, a place to enjoy the silence, the clean air, and the unspoiled natural beauty that are increasingly rare in modern life.

While you are here, you’ll have access to miles of wilderness trails - from steep and challenging hikes to laid-back walks down by the lake. But there’s no pressure to go anywhere. Feel free to pull up an Adirondack chair on the dock with a good book and make yourself at home. No matter how you choose to spend your Adirondack wilderness vacation, you’ll enjoy the solitude and silence of being surrounded by pristine wilderness.
