DESCRIPTION
This
relaxing retreat was built to view the sun, the moon
and the trees. Nestled in a mature pine forest, the
wind whispers through, caressing your ears in the
summer, and the snow hangs elegantly on the trees in
the winter. Part
of a 50 acre tree farm and maple sugar bush, this well
cared for property boasts abundant wildlife and a
network of walking and skiing trails which take you
past wetlands, cliffs and a variety of forest types.
Private
and secluded, yet centrally located, Camp Hatteras is
located seven miles north of Paul Smiths
College on Rt. 30. You’ll be in one of the most varied
wilderness areas of the park. We’re located in the
middle of some of the Adirondack’s most dependable snow for cross-country skiing,
with abundant groomed and backcountry trails nearby.
The only professional sled dog races in the
park occur here every February.
The Adirondack Visitors Interpretive
Center
is five miles away and is open year round with
wonderful trails and educational programs for the
whole family. You’ll be 20 minutes to Titus
Mountain Ski Center,
Saranac Lake or Malone; 35 minutes to
Lake Placid
and its Olympic venues; 50 minutes to Whiteface
Mountain. The Natural
History Museum of the Adirondacks
is 40 minutes away in Tupper Lake.
Camp
Hatteras has three bedrooms and sleeps up to 8 people. Two of
the bedrooms have two twin beds each and a third
bedroom has a queen. An
open loft has a futon, which can be folded open for
another person or two. Two
bathrooms with showers make sure that no one is
waiting. There is a complete laundry room for those
making longer stays. There are toys for younger
children to discover, and a high chair and “potty”
for toddlers.
A
wrap-around deck has a propane grill and picnic table
in a screened porch. Bring
some water jugs with you, as this 500’ deep well
delivers the freshest, tastiest mountain water that
you could ever want.
You’ll want to take some home.
There is a nice campfire spot for summertime
marshmallow roasts or quiet fire gazing. The glass
front woodstove sheds a warming glow across the
great-room’s hardwood floors in the winter.

Open and spacious

Comfortable conversations

The kitchen is fully equipped with a
microwave, electric oven and range, a dishwasher, and
all of the things that make cooking healthy, hearty
meals possible.
Firewood is supplied for our winter
guest’s heating comfort, and a reasonable amount of
campfire wood is available in the summer as well.
The driveway travels about 200 yards in from
the main road and is well plowed with plenty of parking. If
you’d rather not heat with a woodstove, the electric
baseboard heat is always there to keep you warm.
In the warmer months, there are nearby
trails which are excellent for mountain biking with
both backcountry roads and single-track.
Designated horseback riding trailheads are less
than a mile away. A
“Wild and Scenic
Study
River,” the Osgood, flows nearby with put-in and
take-outs within a couple of miles of your driveway.
Drop-off and pick-up arrangements can be made.
This is a “must paddle” for those
interested in wildlife and scenery.
Many have spotted the Bald Eagle who has a nest
at the river’s edge. We
are surrounded by many great fishing spots.
Your hosts, Bob and Sheila, are a
former professional wilderness guide, and a life-long
resident of the Paul Smith’s area.
Between the two of them, good
advice—connecting you to great experiences and
unique destinations—is as close to a “sure
thing” as you can get.
The temporary use of their brains is
complimentary!
