5 Historic Adirondack Great Camps You Can Stay In - AFAR
"Occupying 75 acres of Saranac Lake shoreline and run as a plush Relais & Châteaux property, this fiercely private, all‑inclusive retreat is accessed via a five‑mile single‑lane road and a locked gate reserved for guests. The intimate property has only 11 lake‑view rooms with fireplaces, is furnished with antiques and fine art, and offers nightly multi‑course communal dinners in a Great Hall; guests are sometimes fetched from the nearby regional airport. A formal dress code governs most evenings (cocktail attire generally, black tie on select nights). Reopened in 2018 after a multimillion‑dollar renovation, it typically welcomes guests 21 and older (unless booked exclusively), operates late May through December 2024 with limited winter dates, and all‑inclusive rates for two start around $2,650 per night, covering meals, afternoon tea, wines and spirits, and use of sports equipment and facilities." - Suzanne Rowan Kelleher
