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.

Best Memorial Day Weekend!
We had a wonderful experience at this property. The beach and dock were everything our little family could have asked for- and all of the water toys were perfection. We had kayaks, paddleboards, paddle boats and canoes at our disposal. Our host took us out on his boat in the afternoon and was a wealth of information. He was available at all times and improved our stay immensely. I suggest bringing water shoes as the beach is all rocks and definitely hurts the feet. Fires in the evening were wonderful- we can’t wait to return!

Beautiful Lake House
We had a wonderful time at this lovely and well-equipped home. The screened in porch is heaven with comfortable rocking chairs and a table that could be opened up to allow dining on the porch. Views cannot be beat. Kitchen was very nice and had everything you need. Living room and bedrooms were very comfortable . Dock was a perfect place to relax and enjoy the scenery. Jonathan was a very friendly and pleasant host, especially nice of him to provide perfect weather too.

Charm and hospitality on Lake Champlain!
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!

Fun at the Camp
Jonathan was a GREAT host! Very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the Ausable Chasm, Walker Nature Trail and especially the boat ride to the marina for dinner with Jonathan giving us an informative talk on the lake and the other cabins. The cabin had everything needed including a 549 piece kayak puzzle we finished in two nights.

LA true lake camp experience
Jonathan's camp is a treasure. The cabin has beautiful views and lots of different places and ways to enjoy them. He provides excellent service. The camp provides the best of charm from another era and modern comforts. From the roaring fire in the fireplace to the lake front screened in porch camp can be enjoyed no matter what the weather brings.

Most Relaxing Trip Ever!
Our family traveled to upstate NY to attend a wedding and we decided to make it a week get-a-way! We were looking for a relaxing location with activities for the teens! Johnathan's camp was everything we were hoping for! We had long mornings of relaxation sipping coffee on the screen porch. The kids swam and paddled most of the day! Johnathan advised us on everything from shopping and restaurants, to day trips and to our ferry to Vermont for the wedding. He graciously took the kids on a boat ride and tubing! We loved hearing the history of his family and the camp! Kitchen was well stocked with a nice new grill and we cooked almost everynight! Thank you Johnathan for everything! Hoping to make another trip next year!

Great camp and great location
We enjoyed our stay. The camp had a variety of water crafts which we used every day. At night there were many games to choose from. The screen porch was perfect for meals and relaxing. The camp could have been a bit cleaner (fridge and main room) but overall we had a nice stay. Jonathan was a great host

Beautiful view but some issues
The camp has old school charm and a beautiful view, but there were some issues. The camp could have been cleaned better. It was very dusty with spider webs and the floors had not been mopped in awhile. This was very apparent because we had our two small children walking around and crawling. Their feet and hands were black the first day so we had to buy them slippers and make sure they didn’t crawl around. There was an issue with the sink which caused the contents of the sink to come back up when the dishwasher was being used. The washer and dryer is in the property manager’s unit which is under the rental unit. We didn’t realize that living on the property meant underneath our unit. The oven was dirty and smoked up when we went to use it. I had to clean it. It is an older camp and we don’t mind the cabin charm but it should be clean for the amount of money it was. Also one of the doors could not be locked without a skeleton key or something. This was a security concern.

Perfect for our family
We really enjoyed our stay at Jonathan’s family property. The history of the house was something we appreciated hearing about too. There are so many water toys for everyone in the family to enjoy and Jonathan has life vests for all sizes too. The lake is stunning to look at from every angle. We mostly found ourselves sitting in the super comfy rocking chairs on the screened in porch while the kids swam down below. Having two bathrooms and air conditioning were luxuries we really appreciated. The kitchen and BBQ were fully stocked and plenty of towels were provided - both for bathing and the lake. Lots of board games and puzzles are available for making family memories. We enjoyed every minute.

Perfect Family Retreat
Mr. King keeps a very clean, gracious home with wonderful historical photographs, maps, and appointments, and he is discreet, but available and eminently able to inform of the history of the place and area. Great grounds, beautifully kept, on an ideal perch on Lake Champlain adjacent to Schuyler's Island and 15 minutes from the Ferry to Burlington if it rains. In good weather, swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, canoeing, or boat riding are AWESOME!

Beautiful Stay on Lake Champlain!
Just as advertised, we found the property to be beautiful and very well up kept. Jonathan was very accommodating. The only problem we had was with the TV, but Jonathan took care of that promptly. I do feel there should be more specific instructions, for the men that can’t miss football games. The porch with rockers was my favorite place on the property. I would definitely stay there again. It is evident that Jonathan takes great pride in his property.
