About this property

Secluded Adirondack Lakefront Retreat- Running Deer Lodge

Your vacation home is Running Deer Lodge, a lovely cedar log cabin chalet on the edge of one of the most private and secluded lakes in this wilderness park. See more deer, beaver, osprey and loons, than you will people. Authentic furnishings in a Great Camp tradition throughout. Three bedrooms (and an overflow sofa bed in the lower den), enough for two families and children. A wall of glass opens the cathedral ceiling living/dining area to the lake, mountain views, and sunsets. Fully equipped modern kitchen, a den, 3 rowboats, 2 canoes and dock.
We have been told that this is one of the most attractive camps in the Adirondacks available for rent. Furnished and decorated in the best style (J. S. Crew asked to shoot their summer catalog here). Many of our guests come back year after year. The kids especially love it.


Guest comments: Wow did we have a wonderful stay at Running Deer! The nice thing is having family members drop by for a day or so and sharing in their amazement at how beautiful the place is. Enjoy the rest of your summer, Thanks, S. D. 2007

A wonderful week! Everything was just great, the weather, lodge, all the wildlife (beaver, bald eagles, loons, heron), and especially the fishing! Lots of bass (a few 5 lb+) and two huge pike 36'-38.' Looking forward to next year. Thanks again, J. M. 2007

These two letters are characteristic of those we receive each year.

Had a great weekend fishing. Caught a couple big Northern Pike and some decent bass. Never talked to Tom but only because we didn't need to. Cabin was perfect for four guys to get away for the weekend. Hoping to go back next year.

Location was unique, as expected. We live in the Adirondacks so we are familiar with mice, but were surprised by the amount of mouse droppings (even in utensil drawer by stove) throughout the house as well as numerous mice running around at night. House could use a thorough cleaning. Boat oars are in very bad shape, oarlocks are worn out. 3 boats, 1 set of oars? Fishing was good.

Couldn't have had a better weekend! I grew up staying at Running Deer Lodge and it was awesome coming back with friends and my wife as an adult. Spent tons of time swimming, canoeing, doing puzzles in the living room, and stargazing at night. Thank you for another perfect weekend!

Great private stay. First night we had close neighbors they didnt stay the night then it was just us. Beds were cozy, the camp had everything we needed but personal essentials. The experience on the dock and the ambiance was pristine. The campfire and wood supplied was perfect. The long driveway was great for walks. This is a perfect place to get away. We tried to leave it cleaner for the next person.

Quiet cabin on the lake

We had a wonderful long weekend celebrating a birthday with family. The cabin is accurately described and we were thrilled to stay there. The lake is so beautiful and peaceful. Having access to boats (rowboat, canoe) was wonderful, we spent an afternoon paddling around the lake. The kitchen had adequate supplies to prepare meals and was very clean. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and the towels and linens in good shape. I would love to come back and spend more time here.

Spring Bliss in the Adirondacks

We knew we were in for a treat as we ventured further into the woods along the winding road that leads to Running Deer Lodge... it did not disappoint. The cabin itself was clean, very well-appointed, and absolutely beautiful with impressive craftmanship throughout. The location on Thurman Pond is perfection. We loved fishing and swimming in the crystal clear water and listening to the chorus of spring peepers as we watched the sunset from the dock in the evening. The host is wonderful, responsive, and very helpful in providing any information or tips you may need. This is an Adirondack gem and we look forward to coming back!

Peaceful Getaway

We enjoyed our relaxing stay at Schroon Lake, despite the weather. Plenty of peace and solitude to catch up on reading. We were able to kayak around Thurman Pond, but had no luck with catching fish or spotting wildlife… maybe not the right time of year. We would love to return sometime in the summer next visit. Thanks again! Ken & Susie

Running Deer Lodge

My husband and I loved our stay at Running Deer, although better instructions for finding the Lodge once you turn off on the unpaved Beaver Dam Road would have been helpful. The Lodge was in a beautiful area and Ron enjoyed fishing on Thurman Pond every day. We scoured upstate New York, from Lake George, Schroon Lake and Lake Placid to name a few, ate at many diners, dives and restaurants and absolutely loved the Adirondacks showing off their fall foliage, so beautiful. The Lodge and Thurman Pond were a great place to relax. However being required to strips the beds we used of the sheets and start a load of laundry before we left was a bit much. All in all it was a wonderful experience.

Short but .sweet Golden retriever approved!

The lake was much lower than previous visit. The rowboat had a leak that we told the owners about. The outdoor grill was unusable. The indoor fireplace was amazing. The fishing was fair compared to August. we stayed in May The peace and quiet and the home itself…magical. We will be back! It was the beginning of the season. The hosts will fix the issues mentioned. Heaven on earth!!!

Our second year

Wonderful cabin and an ideal setting. Literally piles of mouse poop in the kitchen cabinets. A large pile of nuts and crackers on the bookshelf and appeared to be a rodent stash. Nearly impossible to open sliding door to deck. Thick layers of dust on lamps and wall decor. Bathrooms very clean. It took 2 people 2 days to clean to where we were comfortable. Stayed last year and it was in better shape.
