Also down the road is the Adirondack Interpretive Center which is a public education facility and we also have the Adirondack Ecological Center (AEC) located within the 15,000 acre Huntington Wildlife Forest. Both are run by the State University of New York's College of Environmental Forestry. The Santanoni Preserve is a beloved 12,500 acre preserve in Newcomb. It is on this magnificent expanse of Adirondack land that the Santanoni Lodge sits, built in 1892 by businessman Robert C. Pruyn. During its hay day, Santanoni was visited by Theodore Roosevelt and James Fenimore Cooper. This Adirondack Great Camp, called by some 'one of the grandest of all Great Camps', is owned by New York State and is open to the public. During the summer, the 4.9 mile trail to the camp can be enjoyed on foot, by bicycle or horse carriage. The trail makes a great 10-mile loop for cross country skiers in the winter. The trail does not allow motorized vehicles, but there are reservations available for purchasing seasonal tours of the preserve via horse and wagon.

Meet the Owner(s)

About Us: Owners originally from Newcomb. Know the area, love the area. Will help you take advantage of all the wonderful opportunities afforded you while enjoying our beautiful home. Numerous hiking trails, Goodnow / Vanderwalker Mountains with fire tower offering incredible views of the high peaks, hike/bike/horse carriage ride to Newcomb Lake and visit the historic Camp Santanoni (10 miles round trip, one of our very favorite activities). Historic Tahawus only a few miles away, access to high peaks.

Why we think you will enjoy staying in Newcomb: Newcomb is known as the "heart of the Adirondacks" with access to numerous lakes, source of the Hudson River, incredible hiking, access to the high peaks for the 46'rs, mountain biking, fishing, hunting, skiing, snowmobiling, etc... The Adirondacks are one of the most beautiful areas in the entire country and we're confident you will want to come back for another visit. Google Newcomb and visit the official Town of Newcomb website for more info.

Why our property is special: We took our time building our log home and consider this our dream home. We hired the best contractors to do the construction and we put in countless hours of work ourselves. It's directly on Lake Harris with beautiful views of the lake and the high peaks region. Lake Harris is surrounded by state land with only 32 homes/camps on the entire lake. There is no other available property like it on the entire lake. We're confident you will love your stay.
