Family fun at This Beautiful Lakefront Adirondack Camp

Come find out why we love our camp, the lake, and the North Country so much. Whether it's quiet evenings in a rocking chair on the screened in porch watching the moon rise over the lake, or for the fun and adventures the lake and the Adirondack North Country have to offer, this camp has and does it all. The fall colors are spectacular in the North Country and seeing them by boat from the lake is something special.
Built in 1939 by my Grandfather, modernized in the 80's and 2000's, now available for you to enjoy. I live on the property. I have a separate apartment, so you can see as little or as much of me as you like. I'm there to be your tour guide, boat captain, watersport instructor for wakeboarding, waterskiing, stand up paddleboarding, and tubing, leading day hikes and beautiful road bike rides, or just in the background as your invisible caretaker making sure everything goes smoothly. I grew up spending summers at the camp and it's by far one of the most beautiful and fun places in the world. Please limit the number of people at the camp, at any one time, to 8.
Wake up in the master en suite to the sound of waves lapping at the shoreline. Then coffee at the kitchen table overlooking the lake. The second bedroom has twin beds and is private and quiet. The kids room is just that, with bunk beds, and 2 single beds, trust me, they won't be doing anything other than sleeping in there after all there is to do during the day at the camp. Rain or shine there is always something to do. Mornings, get up early and cut up the glassy water before anyone else. Then a bike ride over rolling hills along the lake, or a hike up Pocomoonshine, paddle out to Schuyler island for a secluded picnic, swimming and tubing in the afternoon. For the less adventurous, shopping in Lake Placid, check out the ski jumps, amazing! The drive to Burlington is just over an hour, with a ferry ride. Head up to Montreal, Canada's largest city, 90 minutes. Don't forget your passport! Rainy days are nice too. Explore Ausable Chasm and raft down the Ausable river, Parc Safari and waterpark is just over the border an hour away. At the end of the day cool down on the screened in porch, or warm up in front of the large fireplace in the living room. Roast marshmallows over a bonfire on the beach, then lay back and count shooting stars. Life at the camp is great. Come and find out for yourself.

This was our 3rd stay at the camp and it was fantastic. The house is beautiful and is very comfortable. The new screens on the porch make sitting out there even more delightful.

We’ve stayed at a variety of places in the Adirondacks, and this was one of our favorites. Spacious, well appointed house, plenty of watercraft to keep our boys busy, a spectacular view from the covered front porch, and dog friendly, which we really appreciate. Jonathan took us out on the boat twice during the week. Considering that renting a boat for just half a day at the closest marina 350 or more, this is an incredible deal and benefit to staying at this location. We grilled and ate outside almost every night. We had a wonderful week and will probably be back!

Beautiful Lake House

My husband, adult kids and I had a fantastic stay at Jonathan’s lake house. A little cool for much time in the lake but that didn’t stop us from other fun - Recommendations during your stay: Burlington bike path that goes out into the lake on a causeway, Church Street Marketplace - and if you are true nerds take a “Trek” to Ticonderoga for the Star Trek Original Series set tour - sounds weird - but if you know anything about the original series it’s a lot of fun and interesting. Jonathan was a great host! Thank you, Jonathan!!

Close to home getaway on Lake Champlain.

Location on Lake Champlain absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed daily walks with the dogs along with relaxing and admiring the view from the large screened in porch.Could not give higher than a 2 for cleaniess due to dust, cob webs, and dirty floors throughout the house. Also, disappointed in the condition of outdoor future. Thankfully there was a garden hose close by for us to use to clean chairs and table. I would recommend bringing a few camp fire chairs should you wish to use the fire pit.With a good deep cleaning, we certainly would have given a higher rating especailly

Wonderful place to enjoy Lake Champlaign

Our family of four really enjoyed our stay at Johnathan's home, and appreciated the many fun ways to enjoy the lake - paddleboards, kayak, tube, and a boat ride around the lake followed by all of us getting a chance to try tubing for the first time! The house had plenty of space and everything we needed to enjoy our stay. When we had a cooler day we took the opportunity to cross the lake by ferry to enjoy the city of Burlington and the restaurants and shops it has to offer. Overall we enjoyed our visit!

Unforgettable family autumn visit

The lake house was a great venue to enjoy family time. Loved the big fireplace in the living room with a great cabin vibe. We enjoyed all that the area had to offer, Ausable Chasm, Lake Placid village, hiking Baxter Mt trails for views of the fall colors, visited the Keene farmers market and the nearby brewery. At the lake we paddled the canoe & paddle board to Schuyler Island, enjoyed the fire pit at the beach roasting marshmallows and making S’mores. It was a lovely family vacation!

Beautiful and fun! My family of four had a great stay at “King Anchorage” and our host Jonathan was the best! We enjoyed being out on the water, spent a lot of time in the awesome screened in porch, and had a cozy fire every night. Took the Ferry over to Burlington for the day too. Hope to visit again some day!
