Lovely House for a Family Reunion
This is a beautiful home near the heart of Elizabethtown. It is fully equipped and has something for everyone…game room, hot tub and well-equipped kitchen. The place is spotless and comfortable. My family enjoyed our stay!

Relaxing
This lodge was made for getting lost in the woods and relaxing. We took advantage of day trips to nearby cities but enjoyed our evenings at the lodge by the fire or playing games. The hosts were lovely and thought of everything!

Why they chose this property

About the Adirondack Park.... At 6 million acres, the Adirondack Park is the largest publicly protected area in the contiguous United States. About half of the park is privately owned and The Branch sits on one of those private parcels.

Some of the outdoor recreation opportunities at the doorstep of The Branch Adirondack Lodge: hike/climb the 46 high peaks; explore hundreds of acres of mountain biking trails, go boating on world-class Lake Champlain, ski Whiteface Mountain (greatest vertical in the East; 20 miles away); explore Mt Van Hoevenberg and Lake Placid, and cross-country ski at the Cascade Welcome Center.

What makes this property unique

In short: privacy and thoughtful amenities. The Branch Adirondack Lodge is spacious, comfortably accommodating two to eight guests. It's perfect for a family. My wife and I enjoy being there just the two of us as much as entertaining larger groups. The Branch is well-suited for anyone wanting to have plenty of space (inside and out) to unwind and enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings.
