About this property

HISTORIC ADIRONDACK CAMP WITH 100 FT OF LAKE FRONTAGE & ALL MODERN AMENITIES

All the interiors of our 100 year-old, 5th generation, family-owned Adirondack camp, are done in the original warm, lacquered southern pine. The home is called "Little Naumkeag." Naumkeag means "fishing place" in the Algonquin language.

The historic home has direct lake views, large front yard, six bedrooms, formal living and dining room, family room with large-screen smart tv and high-speed WIFI, cable, DVD player (with many children's DVD's), 2 fireplaces, 2 & 1/2 baths, modern washer & dryer.

And best of all, it has an open floor plan kitchen. In fact, we recently renovated the kitchen, which now has large farm sink, gas range, dishwasher, microwave, ample storage & counter space, American fridge, open plan for numerous cooks, bar stools & high counter for "helpers".

We also recently walled in one of our historic sheds to create a terrific game room for pool and/or ping pong. Perfect if it rains.

We have 100 feet of frontage on 4th lake, which is 1 mile across and 7 miles long, ideal for swimming, boating, fishing and water skiing. Two docks at the lake make water sports fun. Use of our kayaks and canoes is included in weekly rental, and a large family-friendly pontoon boat is available for an additional charge.

The 6 bedrooms are laid out as follows:
* Upstairs King Master with additional single bed and private sink.
* Upstairs Queen
* Upstairs Twin (two twins).
* Upstairs Single
* Downstairs King Master with ensuite bathroom & private fireplace
* Downstair Double with semi-private 1/2 bath.

The house sits directly on 4th lake of the famous Fulton Chain of Lakes in the center of the Adirondack National Park. A wooded path and steps leads down to our private dock with 100 feet of lakefront right on the water. Dock can accommodate a boat up to 18 feet. We also have a smaller dock for canoe/kayak launching.

Included in the rental is use of 2 canoes and 2 kayaks. Additionally, at owners discretion, an 18 foot pontoon boat is available for rent for $1800 weekly with a deposit of $800 required. We also allow dogs, pet fee $200 (extra $125 security deposit requested).

Approximately a half mile from our dock is the inlet to the town of Inlet, with child-friendly sand beach, lifeguards and children's park. You can also get to the historic & quaint town of Inlet on foot - a quick and easy 5-minute walk. Inlet has a good selection of restaurants, gift stores, an historic post office & library, a local well-stocked supermarket and small hardware/clothing/department store.

NOTE: WEEKS RUN SUNDAY TO SUNDAY. CHECK IN 4PM, CHECK OUT 10 AM.

20 minutes west of us is the town of Old Forge, with great restaurants, a good children's sand beach, stores and shopping and the largest water park in New York State, the Adirondack Water Safari & Enchanted Forest, featuring over 50 rides & attractions. https://www.watersafari.com/.

One half hour the other direction is the legendary Adirondack Sagamore Great Camp, built in 1897 and open to the public. A bit further is the Adirondack Experience Museum on Blue Mountain Lake, spread across 121 acres with indoor and outdoor exhibits covering Adirondack lore, early timber mining, ice fishing, Native American & pioneer exhibits and prized collections of antique boats and trains - perfect for children of all ages. https://www.theadkx.org/

As we are in the middle of the 6 million acre Adirondack Park, the largest publicly protected area in the contiguous United States, there is plenty of hiking and climbing right next door, from Bald Mountain and Rocky Mountain across the lake to the famous Adirondack High Peaks, boasting 46 mountains, the highest of which, Marcy, stands at 5,400 feat tall.

So, whether you want to stay local and enjoy water sports, head into town for some shopping or head off for kids' or grownup activities, our home, "Little Naumkeag" is the perfect place for a family or friend reunion or mountain getaway.

5/5
A true rustic camp experience
Location was awesome. Great sunsets on the dock. Stairs are steep but you get used to them. We used the linen and boat packages and they have EVERYTHING we needed. Kitchen is stocked! The house is very spacious and fit our extended family comfortably. WiFi and cable service was very good.

Perfect
This historical cabin has everything you need making it perfect for a family getaway. Its nestled in the woods so it is very private .The house is spacious so that even if with rainy days, you have room to spread out in the house. The private backyard allows another area to gather, which was wonderful for all ages . The large dock has magnificent views of the lake and we loved being able to kayak and canoe right from the property. We also enjoyed the proximity and convenience of being able to walk to the town of Inlet, shops and town park. We would definitely like to return next year!

On the water and close to town
We had a nice time here. The house is old and rustic, but comfortable. It’s in a great location - just a short walk to Inlet and a quick drive to Old Forge. It was very convenient having a few kayaks and canoes already waiting on the dock when we arrived, so we able to spend a lot of time on the water. Overall, it was a pleasant and relaxing week.

Little Naumkeag--Little Piece of Heaven

Perfectly situated just outside of Inlet this property has everything you need to unwind, decompress and relax. Its proximity to town, hiking trails, The Red Dog (one of our favorite local restaurants) and boating activities make it the ideal spot. The property itself has perfect Adirondack charm with updated touches. This is an authentic Adirondack camp with a unique history and connections to an old school Hollywood screen writer. You'll find his books on the shelves near the fireplace! This is our second time and won't be our last.

A true rustic camp experience

Location was awesome. Great sunsets on the dock. Stairs are steep but you get used to them. We used the linen and boat packages and they have EVERYTHING we needed. Kitchen is stocked! The house is very spacious and fit our extended family comfortably. WiFi and cable service was very good. We had a cool damp week and the only complaint was the dampness hung around inside but I think it would have been worse if it was too hot and humid. Because it was so damp we had trouble getting the charcoal grill started, would prefer propane for ease of use. The garage also has everything you need. We negotiated the use of a metal fire pit that we brought for a camp fire. Peter was accommodating and we really appreciate that, it was really nice to help ward off the dampness and sit around the fire chatting with family. The metal pit worked perfectly. If we couldn't have a fire I would have canceled so I am very thankful that Peter accommodated us because we had a great time. Love the vibe...tons of unique decor.

Great location

Loved how it was walking distance to Inlet. The weather wasn’t the best but we made the most of our week. House was spacious but be prepared for the taxidermy and “old “ feel, some loved the charm but others slept with their lights on;) we saw lots of deer out back and it was a great location! Be prepared , the stairs to the water were steep!!! Overall we had a great week and the house was well appointed.

Great week with family

This was very cool old family owned property with a perfect blend of character and modern conveniences. The views from the dock are perfect and the proximity to town is exactly what we wanted. Very nice backyard that allowed us to spread out. *note The steps to the dock are well maintained— but they are step. Be careful with kids or movement- limited friends or family members.

Historical Adirondack camp

Lovely old cottage with nice family space. Owner very accommodating, quick to respond to questions, and lovely to work with. Rustic camp with updated kitchen. Had a wonderful time with 9 family members and close walk to Inlet, NY ( lovely little town) . Yard allowed for Badminton and games of Kumb, Bocce, etc. Walking distance to grocery store and coffee. Lovely dock with fishing right off the dock. On the negative side, difficult cell phone reception but place has WiFi. Work calls and internet still spotty on WiFi but minimal cell reception with Verizion ( Even at Inlet) . Needed to bring garbage and recycling to dump ( 5 minute drive) and garbage dump staff was not very helpful. Furniture outdated and difficult to find comfortable chair, dark interior, especially upstairs but good for kids to sleep in morning, some plumbing issues and poor lighting to read at night. Unable to make Fire at night and no electric grill ( Charcoal available) Lots of steps to water but nice once at waterfront for kids.

About the host

Hosted by Peter Schulberg

Host profile image
Our family has owned 'Little Naumkeag' since it was built for our Grandparents by famed local Adirondack builder, Evert Lewis in 1927. Enjoyed by five generations, and counting, our camp reflects who we are; people who enjoy new things, but also appreciate a bit of history in our surroundings.

Why they chose this property

Little Naumkeag is a family camp with years of character. If modern condo is what you're looking for then our home may not be for you. Our home is oozing with charm and period furnishings.

A place that has always been about kids (and sometimes dogs) the house has plenty of rainy day books, vintage board games, decks of cards-- plus cable, wireless internet and dozens of dvd's. When weather's fine there's badminton, croquet, bikes and more.

What makes this property unique

The house is large enough to host several families, but not too big as to be overly expensive.

Two large bedrooms downstairs offer 2-family privacy, or Grandparent seclusion. One downstairs bedroom has ensuite full bathroom, 2nd bedroom has adjacent 1/2 bath.

Upstairs boasts six more bedrooms, including the Upstairs King Master with its own sink, a Queen Room, a Twin Room and a Single, as well as a full bathroom.
