Saranac Lake, New York
This is one of the most unique family estates in the Tri-Lakes region. An original William Coulter camp this 13-acre estate with boathouse and private beach just minutes from the village of Saranac Lake, in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains. The property is nothing short of magnificent, offering guests a luxurious nature retreat, only steps from the breathtaking Lower Saranac. With a main house, guest house, and boathouse all within steps of each other this is truly a one of a kind Adirondack retreat. We mainly rent to vacationing family's over adult party groups being that this is our family camp and we want our clients to treat it as if it was their own. Please let us know a little about your group when you inquire so we can be sure we are a good fit. Thanks and we look forward to hosting you at our history filled estate.
We had a wonderful family reunion at Camp Massapequa! The property easily accommodated all 20 of us, with ample room for group activities, but plenty of nooks and crannies for quiet time as well. We loved all the activities available, and spent hours at the boat house and on the lake. The houses were well appointed with plenty of kitchen supplies and high quality linens. The place is rustic and unpolished, but still felt luxurious. All in all a wonderful stay!
We returned for another summer to celebrate my mother’s 92nd birthday. My family LOVES staying here: the beautiful rooms with views, incredible fully equipped kitchen with walk-in refrigerator, the lakefront with boathouse/sauna and private beach, and the wooded location is a dream. The houses are spotless and well organized. Our favorite experiences are sitting on the deck with breakfast or appetizers and enjoying the lake view! We can’t wait to return!
This was the second time we stayed here and we'll definitely be back. Sam is a great host.
Our 3rd stay at this wonderful location. We enjoy it more each time
Had a wonderful time at the property. Sam was a fantastic host. The home and surrounding land is beautiful, and we hope to stay there again. Gorgeous views and an all-around great time!
Spacious, beautiful inside and out, large kitchen and refrigeration spaces make it easy and fun to prepare group meals - it's a wonderful and welcoming place to gather. It feels both magically special and warmly homey at the same time.
The photos posted online don't do this property justice. As soon as we drove up we were impressed by how stunning the views are. We had a small elopement ceremony with some friends and family in the boathouse, which was a perfect backdrop. All the boats, the pool table, and other amenities, as well as hiking and going to great breweries and restaurants in the area kept everyone with all their different interests happy. And Sam is a great host, very responsive and helpful. We definitely will be coming back!
Camp Massapequa is a fabulous property offering everything we were looking for in an Adirondack Retreat. The quiet serenity and amazing views on Lower Saranac Lake were exactly what our family was looking for. The Boat House and beach area offered something for everyone. The great room and kitchen in the main house easily accommodated our large family group of 16. Sam was wonderful to work with. Gave us a tour of the place when we first arrived and provided some great background on this history packed property. Really quite amazing!
This was our second time staying here and we love it. The place has so much character it is simply amazing. There is also a ton of amenities, from an amazing kitchen area and walk in fridge, to lake towels, kayaks, firewood and so much more to mention. We just love this place. Grab a beer, sit on the poolhouse deck and watch the sunset.
No words can really describe the surprise of the main house's living room, the lovely bedrooms, and the decor. It's like stepping into a different world. But even better are the beautiful lake, the pine trees and rocks, the wildlife and the fresh air. Definitely coming back!
We were a multigenerational group ranging in age from 5 months to 86 years & coming from Ohio, Texas, & Alaska. Camp Massapequa's rustic old elegance with its interesting history was the perfect setting for our group! The many family mementos & collected items had us constantly wondering about the stories behind them. We had everything we needed to prepare meals for our large group & seat 18 around the large table in the common area for dinners together. The kids enjoyed playing & roasting marshmallows at the beach & all kayaks, canoes, etc. were in frequent use. While we had planned some activities in the area, we ended up venturing off the property very little since no one really wanted to leave. Sam was prompt in responding to questions both as we prepared for our trip & during our stay. We are hoping for a return visit in the future!
Such a unique and special place. We had an amazing time on our mini-family reunion / birthday / anniversary celebration. The property and location were perfect for kids and adults alike. Wish we could spend the whole summer here!
So interesting to stay in such a historical property! We LOVED Saranac Lake. We did not want for anything at the house and the Guest House was a wonderful addition! Sam quickly responded to any questions we had prior to our stay and was equally responsive during out stay. Wonderful hosts. All of the water equipment was great. We rented a pantoon boat from the marina around the shore from the property and this added even more fun to our stay. Thank you to Sam & Family
Glorious location with amazing boathouse and views. Lots of nice kayaks, canoe, paddle boat, etc. for use on the lake. (The lake and estate site can be quite windy). The sandy campfire area was delightful for evening bonfires. House must have been spectacular in its prime but is a little worn and weary. A bit of TLC and updating could restore some of its grandeur. It still has a great deal of old Adirondack camp estate ambiance and charm. Sam could not have been a more responsive or caring host. We were the first guests of the season—and a very heavy pollen season it was—so gazebo and guest room porch had lots of dust and could not be comfortably used. For someone with allergies or asthma, dust could be an issue. Rugs and carpets were also dusty. Kitchen had a few wrinkles that required Sam’s attention but was otherwise very usable and well equipped. (For example, there was no microwave.) As many reviews mention, the walk in cooler was wonderful. The great room/dining room were excellent gathering and dining places. The three bedrooms on the first floor of the main house were quite small compared to the other bedrooms. Overall, the space was most conducive to large family gatherings and we had a wonderful time!
