MORE ABOUT US:
Originally, the home was built during the Gilded Age (early 1900’s) as a private Great Camp home to the Spaulding family. Eighty-five years later, our family purchased the property and did a complete renovation. It’s a unique blend of old and new; keeping the character of being an Adirondack Gilded Age Great Camp while not sacrificing any of the modern conveniences of today.
WHAT IS AN ADIRONDACK GREAT CAMP?
Early 19th century architects created function from form, taking design cues from nature to establish one of the most recognizable architectural styles of the era – Adirondack Rustic. Expansive lodging estates, referred to as Great Camps, were designed to blend into their natural surroundings, offering rustic yet luxurious retreats for the Gilded Age elite. Adirondack Great Camps were as synonymous with the Gilded Age as the names Vanderbilt and Rockefeller. Designed to blend into their natural surroundings, these sprawling compounds spanned the most coveted shorelines of the Adirondacks – as well as some of the most remote. The Great Camp on Eagle Lake is one of the homes in the Adirondacks to have this shared history.
SOME OF OUR HOME'S HISTORY
The Spaulding Family purchased the property at the beginning of the Gilded Age and built it section-by-section. At one time, the room we refer to as the "Great Room" was the entire structure. As our family did the renovations, we could see and date when each new section was built from the stud work and around window frames where period newspapers were used as insulation.
Due to the condition of the house and grounds in 1982 when it was purchased, some of the original features of the home were not salvageable. For example, the outside of the home was once all half pine logs which we had to replace because of water rot. However, on the enclosed porch, the interior walls still have the original pine log siding that once encompassed the whole home.
The boat house you see today is actually the second boat house built by the Spaulding's. The first one was destroyed during an early spring landslide off the mountain behind the home that pushed it onto the partially-still-frozen lake. Rather than remove the damaged one, the Spaulding family allowed it to sink to the bottom of the cove and built a new one in its place. When you snorkel in front of the current boat house, you can see some of the original boat house's remains including beams and stonework. One of the advantages of having the original boat house underwater is that it created an ideal habitat for many species of local fish, making the beach area a great fishing location.
Wherever possible, original features of the Spaulding's Great Adirondack Camp was kept during the renovations including the fireplaces, hard wood floors, French doors, built-in bookshelves, Gazebo, Boat House, and so much more. For 8 years following the purchase of the home in 1982, the whole family worked together to complete all the renovations. It was a labor of love then and continues to be some 38 years later as we have continued to improve and maintain the beauty of this Adirondack Great Camp.
If you are looking for a unique location for your Adirondack vacation, this location is ideal for making memories that will last a lifetime.
