RESTORED HISTORIC ADIRONDACK CAMP: VIEWS OF NEARBY GORE MOUTAIN, PRIVACY, HISTOR

Lovingly restored historic Adirondack Bird Camp is surrounded by wildflower meadows with beautiful mountain views. Located on family compound of glamping tents and unique cabins. Wildflower meadows to wander, a private firepit for star gazing and just down the road from beautiful 13th Lake.

Enjoy a hot tub experience in our new Japanese temple-like spa!

Most nights we offer wood-fired pizza. Close to rail biking, whitewater rafting and the town of North Creek.

Lovingly restored by the great-granddaughter of the original owners, this unique historic cabin still retains many original details and decorations. Many visitors say they feel like they’re stepping back in time. There are lovely leaded glass windows, a handsome rustic stone fireplace, richly stained wood walls, beautifully faded oriental rugs and original china. There is a tidy new country kitchen with reclaimed porcelain sink, new gas stove, fridge, microwave, dishes and utensils.

Upstairs are two bedrooms each with a double bed, wide pine floors, and country décor. And at last --- after 100 years of our relatives using an outside “privy” back when this was just a summer “camp”, we have a bathroom -- clawfoot tub with shower hoop and beautiful vessel sink on original ladies wash vanity. Towels and soaps provided. The bathroom window offers the best view of the mountains.

There are treasured family hand-me-downs as well as odds and ends which nobody felt comfortable throwing away. Like all family camps, there are bits and pieces of everyone who came before; wooden floors record the scuffs and scratches of generations. There are many photographs showing life at “camp” since the turn of the century. All this gives this Adirondack cottage its own special personality, a unique sense of space --- a treasury of feelings, sensations and memories of family and friends.
The house sleeps four to six comfortably: there are two bedrooms each with double beds. On the glassed in porch is a single bed and there is a sofa in the living room.

The land is truly spectacular. In summer, wildflower meadows spill down the hill, flanked by beautiful forests.

We welcome your well-behaved dog as long as he or she stays OFF the furniture, isn't left alone in the house and stays on leash to protect our chickens and ducks.

The Hudson River is at the bottom of our little mountain. In the spring, summer and fall, there is white water rafting for reasonable rates. You can also rent a tube and float down river (the nearby rafting company can rent you the tubes, then pick you up and then bring you back). Of course, the river offers fishing, bathing or just a great place to sit by and think.

Enjoy a hot tub experience! Built within a beautiful Japanese temple-like structure on one of the most beautiful spots of our land, our all natural no-chemical hot tub is a delightful way to start your morning, relax after hiking or winding down after dinner. Available for a private experience for $25 for an hour of wonderful relaxation. Let us know if you would like to book.

We have a happy lab dog Sammy who enjoys spending time with our guests. We have free ranging chickens (get some eggs from the henhouse) and sweet waddling ducks.

Most nights in the summer, we offer wood fired pizza. Here’s how it works. We make and provide the dough, and guests bring their own toppings. We fire up the wood-fired pizza in the late afternoon. By six, the wood fire has died down and the oven is about 800 degrees. From six to seven-thirty, guests come to the pizza pavilion with their toppings and we help them cook their pizzas. Because the oven is so hot, the pizzas cook in about three minutes. Lots of fun! Requested of donation of $8 ($5 for children) for firewood, dough and maintenance, please.

So make time to get away! It’s an easy scenic drive from NYC --- just go north right up Route 87, get off just past Lake George and then a beautiful 30 miles through the mountains to our place.

If this cabin is booked, take a look at our cabins and glamping tents.

Paradise
My sister, brother-in-law and I stayed in late June. I wanted to share the Adirondacks with them. I loved Bird Camp and staying in an historic home. We loved sitting on the porch watching the meadow and clouds. The pizza is fantastic! I am already planning how to return next year.

Leslie accommodated my request and made changes ti my reservation twice. I really amazed by how she was quick to act on it. The place is impeccable and very cute. I actually didn’t stay at this house and I stayed in other cabin of her. The environment and cabins are epic! I will definitely come back again!

Peaceful rustic getaway
The cabin was nice and cozy on the cool 40*F nights, we never needed to run the heat at night only in the morning to knock the chill out. The beds were a little firm but we slept well. There are two bedrooms but our daughter opted to sleep in the bed out on the porch, which she throughly enjoyed. We ordered a pizza and had a great time socializing with some other geust as well as the property owners. Our daughter LOVED playing with their new puppy Bella. The wifi worked well and we actually had good cell service every where on top of the hill, but not in the valley. The hot tub was fantastic and has a nice privacy enclosure. Though i was disspointed that while in the water the scenic view is blocked by the enclosure. All in all this place has quite a bit of rustic charm. The Bird Camp cabin probably has a good mountain view in winter when the leaves are off the trees, but the large open field in front of the house was quite nice in itself and made it feel more secluded. I would definitely like to stay here again when coming back to the area.
