Historic AKD Lakefront House and Boat House on Upper Lake Chateaugay
Historic Adirondack camp built in 1902. Property on 6 acres with direct lakefront access. Boat house and dock. Guests have use of a canoe, rowboat (Adirondack Guide Boat) and inflatable kayak. Large living room with wood burning fireplace and full kitchen downstairs. 5 bedrooms and bath upstairs. Large screened in front porch and smaller side screened porch. Games, puzzles and movies available to enjoy in the evening, but the stargazing is amazing. Lake Placid, Saranac, Ausable Chasm, Malone Golf Course as well as several colleges and universities all within an hours' drive. This camp is a family camp which we rent for a few weeks a year when we are not able to be up there to allow others to enjoy it as much as we do. No parties allowed
Lovely week at Bishopâs Camp. Liz was great and her caretaker, Calvin, was very helpful. Rustic but absolutely perfect for our family and dog. Would come again!
The property is very nice and the pictures don't do it justice. Very relaxing environment, both inside the camp and down at the boathouse. Wonderful wrap around porch in which to enjoy morning coffee, or even better down on the dock. Full size washer/dryer was wonderful. Overall, a very relaxing environment in which to spend time with family.
Our family of 6 adults and 2 children really enjoyed our stay. The house is spacious and well appointed. Being older, itâs somewhat dark inside, but it has a wonderful wrap-around porch which was great for reading, playing games, sharing meals, etc. Access to the lake is across a little-traveled road. Fabulous large boathouse with everything you could want â including a refrigerator!
We loved this property. It was not only an authentic Adirondack camp, but is also a piece of history making it even more special. I would describe the home as rustic with a lot of character and clearly enjoyed by present and past owners for more than 100 years. We spent a lot of our time at the boathouse enjoying the beautiful view of the lake and mountains with our morning coffee and evening beer. The canoe and small motor boat were a nice touch, and we brought our own paddle boards as well. It was a great week and a successful birthday trip for my neice.
Wonderful all the way around. The perfect vacation for us! Boathouse and dock were awesome! All the modern conveniences with a legit old fashioned Adirondack camp.
We had an absolutely idyllic time at this beautiful place. Perfect spot right on beautiful lake Chateaugay, lots of fun in the boat house! Very comfortable beds and lots of of nice generous personal touches. We especially appreciate how welcome our dog was and we will definitely be back!
This house has been in our family for 5 generations. We have been blessed to have made wonderful memories here. My family and I live outside of NYC - we try to spend as much time up at the house as possible, but with kids getting older and busier, we have some time we feel we can share our camp with others.
One of the best places on the lake. The property sits atop a hill and looks down onto the lake. The side of the lake gets more breeze (=less bugs) and wonderful sun sets. The boat house makes for a fun place to be with a long dock right on the lake. Great for an afternoon nap, playing darts or reading a good book in a rain storm. Rustic and elegant living. Great fishing, sunsets and stargazing from the dock. Peaceful and relaxing.
