Gull Rock Camp traces its origins to 1902 and its architectural vision to 1906, when designer Max Westhoff laid out a purposeful collection of log-and-stone structures along the shoreline of Lake Placid Lake for industrialist Theodore Ely. More than a century later, the 27.8-acre peninsula holds 11 historic structures — living cabin, dedicated dining cabin, guest quarters, boathouses, and more — totaling approximately 16,000 square feet across 14 bedrooms and 16 baths. A meticulous 1994 restoration brought each structure back to its original character without erasing a single hand-hewn beam or fieldstone chimney.
Step inside the main living cabin and the craftsmanship is immediate: a soaring vaulted ceiling laced with dark timber, a floor-to-ceiling river-stone fireplace, wide-plank hardwood floors, and lake-facing windows that pull the water's surface into every sitting area. The dedicated dining cabin seats multiple tables beneath antler chandeliers and an exposed log-purlin ceiling, its stone hearth open and glowing while sunlight cuts across the tongue-and-groove floor from a wall of divided-light windows overlooking the lake. The camp kitchen features a skylit vaulted ceiling, a long butcher-block island with bar seating, open shelving, and an attached gear room — a practical detail that speaks to how thoughtfully the 1994 restoration balanced historic aesthetics with extended-season use.
Guest cabins offer cathedral log ceilings, hardwood floors, fieldstone fireplaces burning to full height, and their own private porches. A boardwalk network winds through towering hemlocks and manicured plantings, connecting each structure to the next and to the waterfront docks below. A separate mainland parcel adds a large boathouse and dedicated parking — a genuine logistical advantage on a lake where boat-access-only properties are the norm.
Lake Placid village is reachable by water, placing Olympic-era venues, restaurants, and year-round recreation within practical reach while the camp itself remains shielded by forest. Regional airports in Albany, Burlington, and Montreal provide direct options for longer-distance travel.
