About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Spacious Modern Luxury, Mtn Views, Short Walk to Lake & Downtown - Dog Friendly!

Camp Karibu is your ultimate vacation base camp with high peaks views that just can't be captured in the pictures! Perfect location with the privacy of a luxury lodge within easy walking distance to the lake (2 min), village, restaurants and shops (5-10 min). Classic four-story lodge boasts 6,000+ sq. ft. for your perfect getaway. Newly installed A/C on the main level & in primary bedroom suite, cozy radiant floor heating throughout and large gas fireplace in the living room.
Spacious gourmet kitchen with 6-burner gas stove is perfect for family culinary adventures. Fully stocked with kitchenware, oils, spices and everything needed to inspire your inner chef. Butler's pantry serves as a coffee/espresso station. Treat yourself to a cappuccino with our Nespresso & frother, have a quick Keurig on the go or brew a whole pot for the early risers. Grill with your family on our deck and enjoy meals in the formal dining room - or better yet, on our screened, rustic dining porch.
We offer five luxurious bedrooms: 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 located in the linen closet.
Two large family rooms & a game room with ping pong and foosball for fun, relaxation and a little healthy competition. Loads of puzzles and board games as well as badminton and corn hole for outdoor contests! Solo fire pit for low-smoke campfires and s'mores. Bookshelves full of kids' books, cookbooks and novels for every reader in your group. Use our floats to lounge on the lake, or in the winter, take a sled down the hills of the golf course outside your back door. New 65" Sony Smart TV in the main living room, 55" Smart TV in the lower level living room and Smart TV in the primary suite.
Access the most amazing mountain biking trails in the Adirondacks just across the golf course (Lussi & Logger trails). Ponds and other natural features along the course make walking the Lake Placid Club property a natural adventure (golfing or not!). Spot beavers, geese, ducks, deer and more.
Blocked dates may be flexible owner stays - please inquire your target are booked.

Wonderful house in a fabulous location
My family of 5 loved this house! Everything was perfect. My teens loved the game room, the ping pong table was a huge hit. The kitchen was stocked with spices and cleaning supplies. The location of the house might have been the best part. We were a short walk to Main Street and Mirror Lake Drive. We had an amazing trip and hope to book this house again.

Camp GMB meets Camp Karibu
The description of this house does not do it justice. It was everything and more. Absolutely beautiful property and home. The owners thought of everything. The views were beautiful, the outside beautifully lit with Christmas lights. Three floors with enough bathrooms for 13 women 35-40 years old. I can’t begin to tell you how refreshing the steam shower was…. We were sad to leave and are hoping to return back to this house again. Thank you for hosting us!

The BEST of Lake Placid!!
WOW!!! Camp Karibu is one of the best homes in Lake Placid! We travel each fall with our family of ten and have tried a number of rentals in the area. The family has gone the extra mile to ensure their guests are comfortable. While the weekend was rainy, we spent a lot of time drinking coffee and sitting in the cozy reading nook. When the sun finally appeared, we were taken with the stunning views! The family loved being able to walk out the door to golf or walk around the lake. We were impressed with the well-appointed kitchen and amenities. The owner took time to talk through our questions in advance and checked in during our stay. We loved the home so much that we booked it again for our winter trip. Thank you Megan and family for your hospitality. We look forward to our next visit!

It doesn't get more perfect!
This house was amazing. We had family and a few teens with us and the kids enjoyed walking to town and having their own space to get away in the basement. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need. The view is amazing and the owners were responsive to every question. We've rented many houses in the past, and this, was by far, the best house we've rented. There is so much to do in this area, we were all sad to leave.
