As you enter this historic property on Upper Saranac Lake you step back in time. You make your way from the upper guest parking, past the guest cabin on a bluestone walkway supported by an Adirondack granite retaining wall. Numerous native boulders are used to terminate a stone wall here or to pinch a step there, creating a bit of rustic whimsy. As you head down the stone steps to the main camp, a large entry patio leads you to a porch door. A large open lawn area was created, sweeping left to a set of steps or right to a lawn path leading down to the boathouse and small rustic sleeping cabin. Once at the cabin and boathouse you step out on to a dock opening up to the most beautiful view of the lake and mountains beyond. After visiting the lake you meander past the log cabin, into the woodland area where you have a couple of options. Do you take the stone steps leading up to the cabin to sit by the fire pit or do you head down the woodland path to a quieter more hidden dock tucked between two huge boulders to doze in the afternoon sun and drop a line in hopes of catching a fish?
