Historic Lady Tree Lodge on Upper Saranac Lake

Vacation the way Rockefeller, Whitney and the United States Presidents did during the golden age of Adirondack great camps.  Lady Tree Lodge just became available after completing a meticulous restoration to its original grandeur. This exclusive residence received the 2016 AARCH award for historical restoration excellence. Built in 1896, it was home to famous historical figures while hosting events that included President Grover Cleveland and many other dignitaries of that era. See localwiki.org/hsl/Lady_Tree_Lodge.

There are 2 large porches facing the lake, a dock with large seating area and over 400 feet of private sandy beachfront with a very gentle decline in depth and clear shallow sandy bottom is ideal for families with young children.

The boathouse holds 3 kayaks, 1 canoe, stand-up board and fishing poles for guest use and there is a nearby boat launch. 
 
The secluded and tranquil lakefront setting provides everything you would want.  Many people come and simply never leave the compound till it is time to go home. Right outside the door you can enjoy swimming, casting your fishing line, sunbathing, boating, hiking and admiring nature that includes a loon nesting area.  Or just relax at the end of the long dock in an Adirondack chair reading a book or sunbathing surrounded by serenity. 
 
Around the corner is the best golf course in the Adirondacks.  Close by you will find shopping, dining, entertainment, a wide variety of adult and child activities including museums, music, live theater, hand carved carousel and untouched wilderness to hike, wander in or canoe through while still getting home in time for dinner. Also, just down the road you can buy farm fresh eggs, organic grass grazed/fed meat and daily fresh raw milk with cream if you are interested.
