Family fun at This Beautiful Lakefront Adirondack Camp

Come find out why we love our camp, the lake, and the North Country so much. Whether it's quiet evenings in a rocking chair on the screened in porch watching the moon rise over the lake, or for the fun and adventures the lake and the Adirondack North Country have to offer, this camp has and does it all. The fall colors are spectacular in the North Country and seeing them by boat from the lake is something special.
Built in 1939 by my Grandfather, modernized in the 80's and 2000's, now available for you to enjoy. I live on the property. I have a separate apartment, so you can see as little or as much of me as you like. I'm there to be your tour guide, boat captain, watersport instructor for wakeboarding, waterskiing, stand up paddleboarding, and tubing, leading day hikes and beautiful road bike rides, or just in the background as your invisible caretaker making sure everything goes smoothly. I grew up spending summers at the camp and it's by far one of the most beautiful and fun places in the world. Please limit the number of people at the camp, at any one time, to 8.
Wake up in the master en suite to the sound of waves lapping at the shoreline. Then coffee at the kitchen table overlooking the lake. The second bedroom has twin beds and is private and quiet. The kids room is just that, with bunk beds, and 2 single beds, trust me, they won't be doing anything other than sleeping in there after all there is to do during the day at the camp. Rain or shine there is always something to do. Mornings, get up early and cut up the glassy water before anyone else. Then a bike ride over rolling hills along the lake, or a hike up Pocomoonshine, paddle out to Schuyler island for a secluded picnic, swimming and tubing in the afternoon. For the less adventurous, shopping in Lake Placid, check out the ski jumps, amazing! The drive to Burlington is just over an hour, with a ferry ride. Head up to Montreal, Canada's largest city, 90 minutes. Don't forget your passport! Rainy days are nice too. Explore Ausable Chasm and raft down the Ausable river, Parc Safari and waterpark is just over the border an hour away. At the end of the day cool down on the screened in porch, or warm up in front of the large fireplace in the living room. Roast marshmallows over a bonfire on the beach, then lay back and count shooting stars. Life at the camp is great. Come and find out for yourself.

Beautiful Lake House

My husband, adult kids and I had a fantastic stay at Jonathan’s lake house. A little cool for much time in the lake but that didn’t stop us from other fun - Recommendations during your stay: Burlington bike path that goes out into the lake on a causeway, Church Street Marketplace - and if you are true nerds take a “Trek” to Ticonderoga for the Star Trek Original Series set tour - sounds weird - but if you know anything about the original series it’s a lot of fun and interesting. Jonathan was a great host! Thank you, Jonathan!!

Wonderful place to enjoy Lake Champlaign

Our family of four really enjoyed our stay at Johnathan's home, and appreciated the many fun ways to enjoy the lake - paddleboards, kayak, tube, and a boat ride around the lake followed by all of us getting a chance to try tubing for the first time! The house had plenty of space and everything we needed to enjoy our stay. When we had a cooler day we took the opportunity to cross the lake by ferry to enjoy the city of Burlington and the restaurants and shops it has to offer. Overall we enjoyed our visit!

Great camp and great location

We enjoyed our stay. The camp had a variety of water crafts which we used every day. At night there were many games to choose from. The screen porch was perfect for meals and relaxing. The camp could have been a bit cleaner (fridge and main room) but overall we had a nice stay. Jonathan was a great host

Best Memorial Day Weekend!

We had a wonderful experience at this property. The beach and dock were everything our little family could have asked for- and all of the water toys were perfection. We had kayaks, paddleboards, paddle boats and canoes at our disposal. Our host took us out on his boat in the afternoon and was a wealth of information. He was available at all times and improved our stay immensely. I suggest bringing water shoes as the beach is all rocks and definitely hurts the feet. Fires in the evening were wonderful- we can’t wait to return!

A Beautiful and Comfortable North Country Retreat

Despite a week of cold and rainy weather our family had a wonderful relaxing stay at this charming and comfortable North Country Retreat. The house has a fascinating history and the maritime fixtures, just add to the mystic. The big fireplace in the Living Room made for very comfortable and relaxing evenings with family. No iphones, no TV, just a warm fire and family time. That’s the way to end a day.The views are gorgeous, overlooking Lake Champlain and with Burlington in the distance. It was too cold for us to enjoy the Lake during our stay, but the beach were very enticing and almost got us to take a cold dip. Having breakfast while watching the sunrise, let’s just say it is priceless.Jonathan was a wonderful host. When we got there, there was a fire ready to go in the fireplace. This made for a very nice first night.We definitely will make another visit when the weather is warmer and we can enjoy all that this North Country Retreat can offer.

Relaxation and fun

This is our second time visiting this property. Jonathan is a wonderful host and the camp is a special place. Our kids loved using all of the water toys and we spent most days by the lake. There are lots of games to play and the porch is great for reading. The kitchen and bathrooms are recently updated and are great. There are lots of great things to do nearby if you want to leave the property. It is so nice though we stuck around most of the week and just relaxed!

Perfect location, even with the nearby trains.

Beautiful location on the lake with a great host. The sandy water at the end of the dock was wonderful! Didn't have to worry about seaweed or rocks or zebra mussels like you would elsewhere. Great for swimming around with or without kids. Amazing view from the screened in porch. Great remodeled kitchen and bathrooms. The only complaint I have is the trains running by periodically blowing their whistles day or night. It was not very frequent, but it would wake up my 1 year old from sleeping or napping. my 3 year old slept through it no problem and it didn't bother the adults either. Even with the train whistles I would come back. This is a real hidden gem.

Close to home getaway on Lake Champlain.

Location on Lake Champlain absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed daily walks with the dogs along with relaxing and admiring the view from the large screened in porch.Could not give higher than a 2 for cleaniess due to dust, cob webs, and dirty floors throughout the house. Also, disappointed in the condition of outdoor future. Thankfully there was a garden hose close by for us to use to clean chairs and table. I would recommend bringing a few camp fire chairs should you wish to use the fire pit.With a good deep cleaning, we certainly would have given a higher rating especailly

Unforgettable family autumn visit

The lake house was a great venue to enjoy family time. Loved the big fireplace in the living room with a great cabin vibe. We enjoyed all that the area had to offer, Ausable Chasm, Lake Placid village, hiking Baxter Mt trails for views of the fall colors, visited the Keene farmers market and the nearby brewery. At the lake we paddled the canoe & paddle board to Schuyler Island, enjoyed the fire pit at the beach roasting marshmallows and making S’mores. It was a lovely family vacation!

Perfect Family Fun Spot!

Our family took our first family vacation together here at the camp on beautiful Lake Champlain. Jonathan is my cousin and he has truly created a vacation dream come true. I’m impressed by what he has accomplished here. The house was a perfect layout for our extended family (5 adults, 2 little kids and a young dog). There was room for everyone to gather and space to spread out as well. And the lake is the cherry on top! So much fun on the lake. Jonathan is a wonderful host and we are all already looking forward to our next visit!

Perfect vacation!

My family truly enjoyed our stay at camp King. The property was absolutely breathtaking. The accommodations in the home were second to none. The lake was perfect! The water was crystal clear and warm. The kids could jump off the dock and play with all of the wonderful water toys that were provided. Jonathan even took the children on a tubing excursion. If you are looking for a little piece of heaven then I would highly recommend camp King.

Amazing!

The camp on the lake is a true gem. Coming from the south where every bit of shorefront property is stacked wall-to-wall with large houses and huge boat docks, this Lake Champlain Adirondack retreat is the complete opposite. The lake is never crowded, the cabin holds its 1930s charm with modern amenities, and if it rains, there is so much to do in the immediate vicinity. What a great time and Jonathan is a superb host who makes sure his guests are well accommodated and there are lots of toys to play with on the lake.
