Beautiful Wilderness

At the Inn on Lake Champlain we place great value on sustainability and preserving the health and natural beauty of the Adirondacks, Lake Champlain, and Lake George. Our farm is not a monoculture but a wilderness with edges full of the native plants where rare birds, bees, and butterflies thrive.

Our History

Our historic victorian farmhouse has been an Inn off-and-on since its construction in 1870.

The Inn became the heart of a busy family farm again in 2017. We work tirelessly to rehabilitate our unique historic structures and modernize the farm for a new generation of conscientious family farmers.

We take great pride in continuing the legacy of this farm by rescuing and maintaining its historic structures. Since coming to the farm we've replaced hundreds of slates, replaced bad flashing and valleys with hundreds of pounds of fresh copper or aluminum, rebuilt six huge dormers, replaced exterior siding and trim, doors, windows, and several huge beams, and gotten started on new infrastructure... whenever there's a break in our usual farming routine.

But don't worry, we always do any noisy or disruptive work while guests are out.

Experience the Lake Champlain Region

Our guests spend their day enjoying the Lake Champlain Region’s crisp, fresh air and natural beauty: natural wonders, historic sites, and various outdoor activities, such as Fort Ticonderoga, Fort St. Frederick, Lake George's eastern hiking trails and beaches, kayak rentals, biking, or on-farm horseback riding.

We offer on-farm hiking, guests with an adventurous spirit hike across our vast farmland and wilderness to see one of the most beautiful views in the region. And, why not? We're just a short drive to the eastern beaches of Lake George to cool off afterward!

There are countless art and history museums or galleries to explore in hot or rainy weather.

Share in the Misadventure

We maintain fb journals complete with loads of additional photos and tales of misadventure for those who appreciate small family operations, country life, self-sufficiency, historic barns, and all things agrarian despite any partway started green/sustainable ideas and projects, wet and muddy dogs, mucky paths, major renovation/repair projects interrupted by tractor-woes, wildflowers mixed with “weeds”, farm equipment haphazardly cluttering the timeless Adirondack landscape, and happy farm animals no matter what sort of horrible mess they make!
