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.

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!

In winter, too, you’ll find access to the major snowmobile Trail 5 to connect to the entire snowmobile trail network quickly, and plenty of both downhill and cross-country ski and snowshoe opportunities nearby. No matter the season, Great Pines always has something exciting to offer.
