Green Bay Camp consists of two cottages (the Lake Cottage and the Bay Cottage) and a boat house and dock on Green Bay (now called Whistler's Cove on some maps) set on our 17- acre peninsula that extends between the lake and the bay. The cottages, built at the close of the 19th century, are constructed out of pine boards and split logs. Each cottage has a long screened-in porch along the front that overlooks the lake through the woods. The cottages are charming and woodsy. We have insulated and paneled the downstairs but the upstairs bedrooms are separated by single pine board walls and light filters through the cracks at night.

The “Lake Cottage”

The Lake Cottage has six bedrooms (sleeps 12-13). The second floor has four bedrooms with twin beds, and a bathroom with a large bathtub. The first floor has a large screened in porch running the length of the front of the house, a large living room-dining room, two bedrooms a bath with a shower, and the kitchen. The porch faces the lake through the woods, and setting suns glistening on the water at dusk. This cottage has a grassy, sunny area for parking where you can sit outside, throw a ball, or play horseshoes. A rocky crest and about 150 feet of woods separate the cottages. You do not see one cottage from the other.

The “Bay Cottage”

The Bay Cottage has five bedrooms (sleeps 10-11). The second floor has two bedrooms with twin beds, and a master bedroom with a double bed. A hall bath has a large tub with shower.
The first floor has a large screened in porch running the length of the front of the house, a large living room-dining room, two bedrooms and a bath with a shower, and the kitchen. The porch faces the lake and offers a view between two islands to the distant shore. The Bay Cottage is closer to the boathouse and dock.

Each kitchen has an electric range and a refrigerator and is fully equipped for cooking. The cottages are old and we have kept modernization to a minimum to preserve the Adirondack camp tradition. Laundry can be done at a laundromat in town. Nestled in the forest, with a canopy of pine and hemlock, the cottages are somewhat dark inside even in the daytime. Many lamps make them bright and cozy. Each house has an adjacent woodshed with an ample supply of seasoned firewood.

Blankets and pillows are provided for all beds. Renters bring sheets and towels.

Because of the variable mountain weather, we recommend you bring the same sort of clothing you would take camping. Clothing which can be layered is best to accommodate the changes. Long pants are more practical than shorts for children, but shorts are needed. Lots of T-shirts, long sleeved jerseys, a warm sweater or two, a rain slicker, hiking boots/shoes, sneakers, socks and bathing suits round out camp wardrobe.
