As far as we know, this land has been occupied since shortly after the civil war. It is actually two farms, combined into one around 1900. The main farmhouse was built out of the logs they cleared in 1879, and there are old foundations of the other original farm houses/barns as well. All over the property (now woods) there are piles of stones that the original inhabitants pulled from the fields. The second farm house was built in 1901. Most of the total 240 acres were cleared pasture land at that time. During the twenties and thirties the property was owned by an industrious couple from the City that lovingly turned it into more of a "rustic retreat"; damming a pond, planting ornamentals and upgrading the buildings. There have been many owners over the years, but we are proud to say it has been with us the longest. Our family bought it in 1961 and we have been trying to be good stewards ever since. Come and visit our little patch of wilderness!

Adirondack Tiny Camp

This IS the Adirondacks!

We had a wonderful stay at the Tiny Camp, which is actually quite a large space. The cabin was adorable, clean and functional, with a great wood stove. (It is the Adirondacks so that Fall chill was in the air for a couple of nights). The pond was amazing as were the local trails. The outdoor kitchen was excellent - well supplied. It is so wonderful to see a tract of land that is preserving the Adirondacks in reality & spirit. We highly recommend & look forward to visiting again.

Hemlock Camp

Peace, quiet, and solitude

My goal was to have a relaxing long weekend getaway. And this spot was perfect. I took lots of long walks on the trails through the property. I had the trails to myself. I enjoyed sitting by the pond and my dogs went for a swim. I did lots of reading The hammock was perfect for that. I also sat outside and practiced my guitar. The site had everything I needed. Of course I was lucky and had absolutely perfect weather for the 4 days/3 nights. I was there. Margarete and Sven were perfect hosts. The creek in front of the tent was a haven for small frogs. I also saw many toads, as well as an assortment of interesting plants, fungi, and insects. I heard coyotes howling in the distance one morning. I spied a young hawk on n the ground eating something during one of my walks. It was an extremely quiet and peaceful stay and I highly recommend hemlock camp.

Adirondack Tiny Camp

Great stay!!! My kids and I had a blast. We will definitely be coming back. Amenities were outstanding. Birdwatching was topnotch. Having the kayaks, canoe and paddleboard on hand was great. Suggest bringing sleeping bags, lanterns, eating utensils and a small stove. Getting supplies at Chestertown was convenient. Chestertown shops were an added bonus.

Adirondack Tiny Camp

Home away from home.

The Tiny Cabin is situated perfectly for complete privacy. Margarete and Sven were wonderful hosts and started the wood burning stove prior to our (me + dog) so the cabin would be toasty after our long drive. While very rustic, the hosts have filled the cabin with cozy charm - little firefly lights, lanterns, a cot on the main floor and two comfy sleeping pads in the loft. It's the perfect place for a getaway and to simply relax in nature. While there are tons of hikes nearby, the land provided boasts its own trail system. It's really heaven on earth. oh and the outhouse...the cutest I've ever seen!
