Your Lake & Mountain Basecamp, Deep in New York’s Adirondack Mountains

At Great Pines by Weekender, there’s something for everyone. From weddings to offsite retreats to personal vacations, our lakeside resort provides a convenient, yet private location for exploring, adventuring, relaxing, and simply celebrating life in the beautiful Adirondacks mountains of Upstate NY.

Directly on 600 feet of waterfront on the region's premier lake Fourth Lake, with a backdrop of mountains behind State Route 28, and also next to the world-class snowmobile Trail 5, Great Pines has an inspiring setting unlike any other, yet is easily accessible year-round by car and boat.

The property offers 29 modern rustic, recently-remodeled rooms—all with lake and mountain views, and many pet-friendly options—seasonal on-site dining in the award-winning lakeside Lean-To restaurant and bar, and year-round curated adventures, both on and off-property, making this the basecamp you’ve been looking for!
