Paul Smiths, New York
Located in the Lodge Buildinge it has its own entrances - so even though Guides is in what we call the lodge building there are no shared indoor spaces. It is very private but there is one adjoining wall with another unit. Situated about 300 feet from the lake. The main room contains a living area with a cast iron gas fireplace and sleeper sofa, a dining area, and a kitchen. Bedroom with queen bed. Full bathroom with shower, no tub. The east-facing covered deck of Guides has a lake view in the distance through the trees. In addition, the covered porch between the cabins is shared with Mrs. Otis and has a woodland and camp view.
Guides can be rented in combination with Mrs. Otis for a special reduced price. This combination would sleep a total of 4 people between two bedrooms, or up to a total of 8 people if the sleeper sofas are utilized.
The Great Room: The social retreat of an Adirondack Great Camp is the Great Room, a rustically grandiose meeting place for formal and informal activities. White Pine Camp's Great Room is available to guests at all times and provides a comfortable setting with furnishings typical of the era, including stick furniture, leather couches and decorative taxidermy. Firewood in the huge flagstone fireplace is always laid for guests to light at their leisure.
The Overlook: Under a canopy of cathedral pines and overlooking the Japanese Tea House and Osgood Pond is the Overlook. With its expansive vintage red tile patio, pergola, Adirondack furniture and fire pit, the Overlook is a popular spot for a lunch time picnic, late afternoon cocktails or an evening campfire with s'mores.
The Bowling Alley: Part of the Addison Mizner architectural design, the bowling alley was added to the game room in 1911. Yes, the set-your-own-pins bowling alley is still functioning and is much enjoyed by guests young and old. It also boasts a large stone fireplace, pool table and intimate back porch with incredible sunset views of Osgood Pond.
Japanese Tea House: Much coveted by the wealthy ladies of the Great Camps was a Japanese Tea House on an island. Olive White, wife of the original owner, was determined to have one as well. Today the Tea House is one of the most sought-after photo subjects in the Adirondacks. Our guests enjoy unlimited use of the Tea House island as a quiet getaway,

My husband and I spent two days at this wonderful place on Osgood Pond. We had visited in the past, but this was the first time we stayed at historic White Pine Camp. Our brand new unit was cozy in true Adirondack camp style and had everything we needed. We spent a great afternoon skiing at the VIC and enjoyed exploring the grounds of the camp in the snow. Wish we could have stayed longer! I would have liked to have had better wifi access in our unit. The VRBO listing is a bit misleading because it lists wifi as an amenity, but it was only really reliable in the nearby main building. I understand the White Pine Camp philosophy on this matter, however we were negotiating a real estate transaction and it was tricky. We managed, however, and totally enjoyed our visit.
We loved every minute of our stay in this perfectly charming cabin, and can't wait to return.
