The space
Vanderkamp is a Wilderness Retreat set on 850 remote acres in Upstate New York. We are dedicated to cultivating unique, immersive, and supremely hospitable experiences that inspire people to discover the joy of connecting to the natural world.

Frank Soule Lodge is a newly restored Adirondack style house renovated to capture a vintage style unique to every room.

We know gathering with a large group can be an exciting chance to reconnect, so we’ve designed the first floor to be your place to unwind and hang out. Sit down with one of your favorite books in the reading chairs near the main entrance, lounge with your friends around the stone fireplace and put on your favorite movie, or spend an evening playing board games in our surprisingly spacious shuffleboard room.

No matter where you turn, you’ll find something new to discover. Cook a large meal in the generously sized kitchen with double oven or mix a drink at the bar with separate under counter drink fridges. Gather for a feast in the dining area or soak in the sun from the lakeview sitting room, your options are endless. And when you’re ready for some alone time we recommend making your way to your private bedroom to enjoy the views just outside your window. Every room provides its own unique perspective of the wilderness and wildlife around you.

If you’re looking to really enjoy the outdoors then be sure to make use of your own private dock, newly installed fire pit, or the outdoor patio with grill. These are the places where the real magic happens.

Whether you choose to spend your quality time exploring the deep blue shores of 50 acre Lake Vanderkamp, walking with the sounds of the birds throughout our nine miles of hiking trails, or taking in the hint of pine that emanates from the lodge's recently renovated exposed pine beams, we want you to enjoy every moment of your stay with us.

Let us show you how to get slow and we know you’ll never want to leave.
