Lake Placid Cabin | Historic Adirondack Great Camp *Boat Access Only*

7 Bedroom Cabin in Lake Placid

Camp Undercliff, built in 1880 as a private camp, enjoys a rich history in Lake Placid lore. From 1889-1912 it was rented out to the public and consisted of numerous cottages, a dining hall, an infirmary and even its own casino. Eventually it was sold to the New York Central Railroad as a retreat for its members. From 1939-1963, new owners used it as a music camp for children. With its unparalleled views of the lake and mountains, it has provided the pinnacle Adirondack experience to thousands of fortunate patrons for over a century.
Most of the original buildings no longer exist, but one of the main cottages has been beautifully maintained and is available for rental. Camp Undercliff is accessed by boat only, enhancing its private setting. The camp features a large sitting dock with spectacular views, a private swimming area and access to the best fishing on Lake Placid. Use of a ski boat and pontoon boat is included with the rental. There is a boat slip at the marina along with one reserved car parking space for use during your stay. Gas for the boats is available at the marina as well.
The main house sleeps 13 people. A separate guest cabin which accommodates six additional guests is available for an extra nightly fee. Photos labeled ‘Upper Cabin” are of this separate building. If interested in adding this cabin to your vacation please get in touch for details.
Amenities available at the camp include satellite TV and DSL Internet (limited to email and web surfing only due to remote location). Many board games and puzzles are available in the main house. Outdoor games include ping pong, bocce ball, corn hole, horseshoes, volleyball, badminton and croquet.
The front covered veranda is just one of the classic and original details of this camp, as is the second floor covered porch, both of which feature glorious views of the lake and the Adirondack High Peaks. There is a first floor bedroom and full bathroom, with an additional six bedrooms on the second and third levels. Two full bathrooms are on the second floor. The Camp has been updated with a new kitchen and bathrooms but still maintains its rustic Adirondack character.
Off the main house is a 16 X 24 foot screened in rear porch with a second kitchen and dining area, perfect for larger gatherings. There is a gas grill and a charcoal grill off of the back porch. Outdoor sitting areas include a fire pit and gardens with a lighted walkway to the guest cabin (available for an additional nightly fee) and the boathouse docks.
Camp Undercliff would be the perfect backdrop for anyone choosing to unplug and fully appreciate the beauty of the Adirondack High Peaks region.

Summary: Beautiful historic ADK camp with sweeping views of whiteface, lake placid and the surrounding mountains! Expansive deck with comfortable lounge and Adirondack chairs accommodates the whole family. The kitchen is well stocked and the outdoor dining area on the screened in porch was a great bonus! In addition to the 2 boats that are provided there is a canoe, 2 kayaks and even fun little paddle boat. Plenty of toys to enjoy the lake! WiFi is weak at best so plan on leaving work at home. The owners are super friendly and made us feel at home. We had an incredible time.
