Get away from it all this Fall at a rustic Victorian era camp on Lake George on the Eastern shore, in the quiet relatively unspoiled Huletts Landing area. Situated in a family-friendly environment, the four-bedroom rustic retreat sleeps eight (two queens, one full and bunk beds) and has two baths and three porches. Lovely lake views, fireplace and wood stove, coupled with romantic gazebos, deep water dock and canoe plus nearby camping islands. Includes a weekend stay.

Far from the madding crowd, this authentic Adirondack camp experience is for those who love the outdoors, the water, the mountains, hiking, floors that creak and shelves full of old books. Bring your own ski boat if you wish, or rent one nearby -- paddle craft provided. Nearby County Park has children's beach, swings, tennis courts (a bit threadbare!). Historic Fort Ticonderoga is just 30 minutes away. Courtesy of John Chambers and family.
