Here they all come together in a contemporary version of the Great Camps of the Adirondacks, the upstate wilderness retreats...
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Lake Placid village and its historic Olympic venues sit minutes away, surrounded by High Peaks hiking trails.
The rooms
Suites feel like private cabins, with handcrafted wood paneling, stone fireplaces, and jetted tubs beside radiant heated floors.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated indoor pool connects directly to the outdoors, where stone hot tubs steam against the woods year-round.
The spa
Botanical therapies and body rituals fill six treatment rooms, alongside eucalyptus steam rooms and dry saunas.
Restaurant
KANU
Dinner and morning buffets are served in a three-story timber great room warmed by two towering stone fireplaces.
How it began
Olympic luger Joe Barile developed the lodge in 2005, milling regional timber on-site to recreate historic Great Camp architecture.
