Luxury Lodge - Walk to Mirror Lake & Village - Mountain Views - Dog Friendly

Step into the extraordinary at Camp Karibu, one of the few remaining historic cottages of the former Lake Placid Club, reinvented as a 6,000 sq ft luxury retreat with panoramic mountain views. Nestled on the 45-hole golf course, this four-level Adirondack lodge is just a 2-minute walk to Mirror Lake and 5-minutes on foot from the vibrant shops and restaurants of Lake Placid village.
Inside you’ll discover a chef’s dream kitchen — with a six-burner gas range, espresso & coffee station within the butler’s pantry and fully stocked with spices, cookware, all the essentials and beyond. Or grill on our deck while taking in full mountain views. Enjoy meals in the formal dining room, or better yet, on our screened, rustic dining porch.
Camp Karibu offers two elegant living areas, an oversized game room (ping-pong, foosball, board games, cornhole, badminton) and a seasonal enclosed sleeping porch that feels like being in a tree house. Newly installed A/C on the main level & in primary bedroom suite, and a large gas fireplace in the living room.
Five bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths span four floors. Bedroom on the lower level offers driveway access, easier access for guests with mobility challenges. Lodge includes two king suites, one king bedroom & queen bedroom that share a connecting full bath and one bedroom with two twin beds (see layout in pictures). All bedrooms include high-end linens, additional blankets and a variety of pillows to choose from. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash and other necessities are provided, with extras in the linen closet.
Designed for year-round adventure, Camp Karibu comes with sleds and lake floats, a fire-pit overlooking the golf course, radiant floor heat throughout, smart TVs & high-speed WiFi. Camp Karibu is proudly family-friendly, and bring your dog, they’re welcome too.
Whether you’re planning a multi-family summer escape, an epic ski-weekend with friends or a corporate off-site with style, this is your basecamp for making memories. At Camp Karibu, you don’t just stay in our luxury Adirondack lodge, you belong.
Week-long stays recommended in peak seasons; ask about mid-week or shoulder-season special rates.
Blocked dates may be flexible owner stays; please inquire if your target dates are booked.

Perfect in every way! Well-appointed, extremely clean, 5-minute walk to the lake and 10-min walk to town. The porch, the deck, the firepit, and two large family rooms provide all the gathering space necessary to accommodate guests of all ages. The kitchen is a chef's dream. My family loved every minute of our time there.

Long Weekend Getaway

We had an excellent stay at this Adirondack home! The owner was incredibly communicative and prompt, making the entire experience seamless from start to finish. The home was just as pictured – spacious with plenty of comfortable areas to relax, play games, and enjoy meals together. The open views across the golf course towards the mountains were absolutely breathtaking. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind and take in the beauty of the area. Highly recommend!

Wonderful stay at camp Karibu! Beautiful home and great rental for big groups! We had 3 families and everyone felt they had their own space and we were not in top of one another! The home is very well equipped, everything you needed was there (linens, towels, laundry, beach toys, dishes, spices, etc.). In addition, everything is very nice, nothing cheap or flimsy. The enclosed porches and bonus spaces were so great for relaxing and playing with the kids. Short 5-8 min walk to the public beach, playground, and town. Views from the house are gorgeous - Sun rises, sun sets and shooting stars. We had a fantastic time! Would 100% rent again next time. Lastly, host was super responsive and accommodating. She made everything easy and seamless! Thanks Megan!

Our family(7 of us) could not asked for a more spectacular and exceedingly comfortable vacation staying in this luxurious home. The home offered all the necessary amenities and then some. The mountainous views and the spacious living quarters provided a most enjoyable and memorable family vacation. Megan, the hostess, could not have been more helpful and communicative.
