Accessed by boat deep in the Adirondacks, Camp Woodridge stretches along the westerly shore of Lake Placid, tucked beneath Loch Bonnie Mountain. Framed by mature trees, the property opens onto private lake frontage with sweeping views of the Adirondack High Peaks. A wood-clad main cabin and a newly built guest cabin anchor the grounds, together offering three bedrooms and three bathrooms that balance shared gathering space with private corners for retreat. The lake and mountains form a quiet, ever-present backdrop, and the setting feels both intimate and expansive, offering a sense of retreat without ever losing sight of the surrounding natural beauty.

The main cabin opens onto a partially screened front porch, where the lake stretches out beyond the treeline. Inside, oversized windows fill the living room with light, while a grand stone fireplace anchors the space beneath a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. Wood-clad interiors and live birch bark details carry throughout the home, adding warmth and texture to every room. From the living room, sliding doors open onto a raised deck, extending the space outdoors and offering uninterrupted lake views for lounging or entertaining.

The kitchen, fitted with stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, and country-style storage, connects naturally to the living areas. Two cozy bedrooms feature slanted ceilings and live-wood accents, while the main cabin’s bathrooms, nearby and easily accessible, are fitted with tiled showers and rainfall showerheads. Below, a ground-level bar and entertainment room opens directly onto the grounds, connecting indoor and outdoor living.

Guest Cabin, Boathouse + Grounds | Newly constructed one bedroom, one bathroom guest cabin with covered porch | Classic boathouse | Swimming dock | Bluestone patio with fire pit

Set just behind the main cabin and reached by slab stone stairs, the guest cabin offers a quiet, private retreat. A covered front porch frames the entry, leading into a cozy living space through a set of French doors. Vaulted ceilings amplify the sense of space, while a lofted bedroom provides a tucked-away sleeping area. The updated bathroom, with a walk-in stall shower and dual-sink vanity, reflects the same refined cabin character found throughout the property.

The grounds are centered on the lakefront, where a classic boathouse and swimming dock meet private water access. Bluestone pathways weave through the surrounding trees, guiding the eye toward the lake and the High Peaks beyond. A stone-patio firepit sits just off the water, offering a quiet spot for evening gatherings or sunsets over the mountains.

From nearly every vantage, the High Peaks rise beyond the water, reinforcing the property’s sense of seclusion, natural beauty, and connection to the Adirondacks.

Camp Woodridge sits near the heart of the Adirondack High Peaks, surrounded by some of New York State’s most scenic hiking. Trails begin just a short drive from the property, climbing through dense forest and rugged terrain. The Mount Jo Loop and Mt. Van Hoevenberg offer moderate climbs with rewarding ridgeline views, while the nine-mile Phelps Mountain Trail challenges experienced hikers and leads to sweeping panoramas across the High Peaks.

In the village of Lake Placid, Origin Coffee offers locally roasted blends and fresh pastries. Big Slide Brewery & Public House draws a crowd with house-brewed beers – including sours from their “Funk Room” – and locally sourced dishes. In the evening, Salt of the Earth Bistro serves globally inspired fare in a cozy, chalet-style setting, while Marcy Restaurant pairs refined dinners with craft cocktails, which can also be enjoyed with lake views from the Cloudsplitter Rooftop Bar.

Camp Woodridge sits directly on Lake Placid, where the water meets the western shore and Whiteface Mountain and the Adirondack High Peaks rise beyond. From the main cabin’s raised deck to the boathouse and swimming dock, every vantage point frames wide lake views and the surrounding mountains. Morning light glimmers across the water, while the shifting colors of the peaks mark the passage of the day, keeping the lake at the center of life on the property.

Evenings extend outdoors, with the firepit and bluestone pathways offering quiet spots to take in the scenery. The combination of water, mountains, and forested surroundings gives the grounds a layered, immersive quality, where the presence of the Adirondacks feels immediate and tangible.
