Welcome

Your special event is our 25-acres on the secluded shores of Lake Clear where Einstein contemplated. We rise in the window of New York State's only wilderness canoe region - an 18,000 acre natural spa home to the 19th C Philosopher's Camp of Longfellow and Thoreau. It is in this Adirondack spirit fused with Old World flair that we welcome you to one of the last, and first, of its kind - an Adirondack Great Camp style Resort & Retreat.

Roam Our Shores & in Our Woods...

We offer a holistic "Great Woods" experience that includes directly interacting with our 25-acre estate as you would have in the Adirondack Great Camps of the past.

• Explore our new Lake-view Retreat Center that holds special events as well as our interactive, fun and educational Philosopher's Pub and the Adirondack Cooking School.
• Roam unique spaces such as the Fireplace Rathskeller with our hand-crafted Wine & Bier Cellar with over 250 specialty beers and over 350 boutique wines to our 1886 hand-hewn dining room to an utterly spectacular mountain-lake sunset gathering

Our Holistic Great Woods Experience

The uniqueness of the Lodge is that we can offer you a cosmopolitan experience: from the serenity of our estate to being on the door step of the Olympic region. Humanists, artisans, writers, poets, and historically recognized environmentalists have made the Adirondacks their home and have been influenced by its beauty. Our 1886 Lodge is a holistic part of this Adirondack alpine history as one of the last original lodges still open to the public fused with 21 C amenities of eco-chalets and hydrotherapy steam showers.

Immerse Yourself in what is New and what is Timeless.

Built by Cathy (Fisher-Otis) Hohmeyer's family in the 19th C an Adirondack pioneering spirit fills the Lodge that is fused with Ernest Hohmeyer's European family who spiced an Old World charm to this destination property nearly 50 years ago. The life and love of 4 generations has created a unique artisan style that is luxurious without pretension, imaginative within natural subtlety and personalized character that carries on our sense of place.
