DESCRIPTION
This historic Crater Club camp was built by the renowned conservationist; John Burnham in the 1920’s and still has much of the character and charm today, but with many modern upgrades.  The camp is aptly named “ Vista ” for the incredible view of Lake Champlain and Split Rock off the screened front porch.  It is situated only 1.5 miles from the Village of Essex, NY and is only 40 minutes to the Adirondack High Peaks and Lake Placid .  Lake George is only an hour away.  The Essex/Charlotte ferry makes many points of interest in Vermont very accessible.

This camp has three bedrooms and three bathrooms (very unusual in the older camps).  The master bedroom has a queen bed with its own bathroom and the two additional bedrooms each have two twin beds.  The living/dining room area has a working wood burning fireplace for chilly evenings.  The screened porch is where you will want to live during your stay, with a place to eat meals or just lounge away an afternoon with a good book.  The owner is a decorative blacksmith, so there are many tasteful and original works of art to enjoy throughout the camp.

Crater Club is an exclusive 600 acre preserve with most camps being passed down through the generations, and one of only a handful of grand 19th century private social clubs that still carry on in the Adirondacks .

The Club maintains four clay tennis courts (with a weekly round robin during peak summer weeks), a swim dock, boat moorings, nature trails, kid’s playground and an incredible historic clubhouse. Traditional potluck dinners, BYOB parties, cookouts, and other socials are open to members and guests during the summer.  A supervised morning day camp for youth (ages 5 - 12) is available on a fee basis during the peak summer weeks, allowing for adults to pursue their own activities. Even a lifeguard is on duty at the swim dock during the afternoons.

This is a place that you will long to come back to for its slower pace and quality of life!
