GLAMP BERNICE ON BEAUTIFUL ADIRONDACK HOBBY FARM

At the edge of a wildflower meadow with mountain views, this beautifully furnished glamping tent has two queen beds, lamps, Oriental rug and private deck.

Enjoy wood-fired pizza and our new all natural wood hot tub. Get fresh eggs from our henhouse. 40 acres of meadows, woods, pond, streams and trails. Nightly bonfires, star gazing, a nearby lake and rafting in the Hudson River below. Golf cart service to your tent.

We have four glamping tents, Glamp Richard, Glamp Suzanne, Glamp Bernice and Glamp Thomas which are spaciously set apart for privacy yet an easy walk to the Bath House and the Lodge where each glamping tent has its own kitchenette.

The tents have a “fly” over them so they stay remarkably cool during the day and completely waterproof. At night, zip up the canvas windows and doors, and stay cozy under handmade feather quilts.

The Bath House has a women’s side with two toilets, a shower and double vanity with glass vessel sinks; ditto for the men’s side. In the nearby Lodge, there is also a lovely new bathroom with an old-fashion claw foot tub where you can enjoy a deep bath with lavender salts. We provide nice towels and soap.

In the Lodge, there are individual kitchenettes for each of our four glamping tents. It has a sink, one burner cooktop, coffee maker, compact refrigerator, dishes, cutting board, glasses, utensils, napkins and basics of salt, pepper, sugar. Bring your own coffee and cream. There are open shelves for you to store your groceries. Outside is a gas grill for your use.

Enjoy our amazing all natural cedar hot tub. Located on one of the most beautiful spots of our land, our new Japanese wood hot tub is a delightful treat for our guests. Built within a small post and beam temple-like structure with gorgeous views of the mountains beyond and wildflowers below, our spa tub is a wonderful way to relax during your stay. $25 for an hour’s retreat of happiness.

Most nights in the summer, we offer wood fired pizza. Here’s how it works. We fire up the wood-fired pizza in the late afternoon and when the wood fire has died down and the oven is about 800 degrees, guests come to the pizza pavilion with their toppings and we help them cook their pizzas (we also have toppings). Because the oven is so hot, the pizzas cook in about three minutes. Lots of fun! $8 if you bring toppings (we provide dough, sauce and basil) or $15 if we provide toppings.


At dusk, we get the bonfire going so guests can relax in hand-built Adirondack chairs to watch the fire and the stars. There is no “light pollution” so it is an amazing experience to see thousands of stars, night clouds, moonscapes.

Enjoy getting your breakfast eggs from the henhouse. Our flock of chickens and ducks are fun to watch as they free range all over the property. The ducklings enjoy it when there is fresh water run into their little swimming pool --- they are so joyous when they’re in water. The ducks are sweet but shy away from people (oh no! humans!). Unlike the chickens that wander all day and come back together to the coop only to sleep, the ducks are co-dependent and stick together all the time; if one duck is separated, they all quack until they get back together. So yes, country life can be noisy with the chickens cackling and the ducks quacking!

And of course there is lab dog Bella who loves guests.

Our cabins are set up for visiting dogs, but unfortunately we cannot host dogs in the tents.

BAKERY / BREAKFAST: We have a new Cottage Bakery!! We have fresh eggs from our own chickens for omelets. We also offer Belgium waffles with Adirondack syrup and fresh fruit, some days we have quiche. There is coffee, tea, juice and milk, and an assortment of muffins, granola, cookies and mini apple pies. Everything is made from scratch in our “cottage home kitchen” --- located at the Shop at the main compound. The Bakery is the first building on your left as you come down the driveway. Breakfast is $15 per person. Please message us if you’re planning to enjoy breakfast so we can plan ahead. We usually have cookies, pies and other desserts on hand at the Bakery as well.

SAUNA: Gorgeous cedar sauna just built this year! Available for private booking experience for $30 for one lovely hour. Ice cold shower outside to cool off.

FLOWERS: Buy a beautiful bouquet of flowers to enjoy during your stay, or to take home with you! Flowers are available at the Bakery for purchase. This year we have snapdragons, zinnias, black eyed Susan and bee balm, all from our lovely gardens. $10 for small, $25 for large bouquet. Optional cards and carry boxes available.

HERBS: Enjoy a cutting of herbs for cooking or just to enjoy the scent. Basil, rosemary, dill, cilantro, parsley, lavender, sage, chives and lemon balm. Available at the Bakery or upon request.

GOLF CARTS: We have golf carts to rent! Our property stretches over 40 acres. While many guests enjoy exploring our property on foot, others prefer to tour in one of our pretty golf carts. Children as young as 14 may drive them with an adult — a wonderful first time driving experience. Limited availability. Message us if you would like to reserve a golf cart. $20 for 2 hours, $65 half day, $100 full day.



The lake is three miles down the winding road …13th Lake it is called and it is just beautiful. Totally natural and quiet with no sign of civilization on its shores. The Hudson River is at the bottom of our mountain; clear beautiful water; you go tubing or rafting with the various rafting companies located right nearby.

The town of North Creek is five miles away off the main Route 28 road but it’s easy to miss so look for the 3 or 4 signs that mark the entrance to “town”. North Creek is a scenic little town with some great restaurants, a grocery store, liquor store, some shopping places and a scenic train called the Saratoga/North Creek Railroad which takes folks in antique train cars along the Hudson River.

Another great experience is nearby Garnet Hill Lodge, an historic lodge offering lunches and dinners … beautiful property, amazing views, great food. It’s located right up the road in North River. They rent mountain bikes and have all kinds of walking trails.

Lots and lots more to do … check our online Guide Book for more suggestions!

So .... Enjoy amazing mountain day views and glorious stargazing by night ... this might be the most special vacation you’ve ever had! Quiet and tranquil … safely and privately located at the edge of our Hobby Farm where you can enjoy a beautiful tent, ducks and chickens, and sweet lab dog.

If you're looking for additional space, we have other cottages on the property as well ... Authentic Adirondack Bird Camp, Farmstand Guest House, Camp HudsonView, Camp Twosome, Camp Lillian, Camp Bossie and Camp Finale, all listed on this site.

We had a great time, arrived on a friday, quick activity down the road on a rail bike, then leslie's ( owner) notable woodfired homemade pizza. Smores around a perfect communal campfire and a good night in a tent cabin. The ammenities fit our every need, the kitchen and bath houses made this true " glamping".

Host Leslie was concerned about having us stay in Glamp Bernice during the 30-degree night, so she offered a heated cabin instead, which was pure delight. It is beautifully built and decorated, fully equipped with kitchen and bathroom supplies (except we couldn't find pot holders or dish towels), and provided spectacular views through the many large windows. And it was WARM!

Weekend pizza and spa glamping

We were greeted by 2 dogs before the host met us at the office door when we arrived and we stayed 3 comfortable nights. It was chilly weather but we had a thick comforter on our bed so we could enjoy the fresh air and still be warm. We had pizza with our host the first night and there were coffee shops for breakfast and coffee in the towns nearby we visited over the next few day. We kayaked on 13th lake nearby as well which was peaceful. The bathrooms were very nice at this site and clean as well.

Leslie and Emeline make the ADK Hobby Farm like visiting family friends. The landscape and gardens are so inviting and the lodging is comfortable! It NEVER felt like I was in a tent, even though it was a cold rainy night. Leslie's Friday night pizza is a MUST! Plus, when we left, she loaded my car with lovely peppers and flowers on the house. She was just such an amazing host! Thank you! Thank you for such a great time!

What an amazing experience! This glamping site is not like other campsites; it is a breath of fresh air! The ladies that run this place work hard to make sure that you have an amazing experience! Yet there is no internet (not a bad thing) and no playground, my 8year old loved the Lodge and all the board games. But think the best part for her was feeding the chickens and collecting eggs. From the fresh out of the oven pizza on Friday, to the made from scratch country breakfast - this place will not disappoint. Maddie asked to come back in October and to our surprise they are offering cooking classes - pasta! Give this unique family ran glamping a try you will not disappoint

Step away and unplug from everyday life by glamping at this location. The glamping tents are large and have wooden floors. There is a screened-in porch with Adirondack chairs and an open back deck area. The bed and pillows are very comfortable. There is also a bug screen inside the tent to reduce the number of insects. There is electricity along with an electric fan and heater. There are many things to see and do within a short drive. Take advantage of the wood-fired pizzas made by the owners. Very yummy!! Each tent is assigned a fully stocked kitchenette with utensils, small refrigerator and a hot plate. Gas and charcoal grills are also available. My husband and I throughly enjoyed our time and will return.

Highly recommend! Enjoyed our time here

Each fathers day my I take my son, now 11 on a vacation. This "Glamping" experience was a great way to get outdoors, experience the Adirondack region and have a camping experience without the hassle of planning and packing all the gear and supplies needed for camping. The host were great to work with, kind and lovely people. The site is like a "homesteading" farm complete with chickens and a huge garden. It was very peaceful, convenient, clean ans beyond our expectations for convenience. We loved pizza night! Highly recommend! We went white water rafting and Rail biking which were both less than 20 minute drive. Lots of hiking opportunities in the area! 30 min drive to Adirondack experience and an hour drive is the Wild Center. Tip:There is on site Wifi at the kitchenette barn and it was great/ worked very well, but your tent will likely not have cell service.

Wonderful weekend getaway

We stayed here for a wedding at a venue a few miles away. This was an incredible place to stay. Comfortable little cabins/tents. Clean kitchenette and bathroom. The host has a few dogs that ran around and joined us on our little porch in the mornings. Unfortunately, we were not able to spend much time on the property as we had a full schedule, so we missed pizza nights and sitting next to the camp fires. We are very much looking forward to going up to visit again when we have more time. Even just sitting outside our tent was so relaxing. My girlfriend and I love the wildflowers, vegetable gardens, and star gazing. This was absolutely our ideal weekend getaway. Can’t wait to go back.

Through lucky circumstances and financial help from my family, I own a precious 40 acres atop a mountain in the Adirondacks with a small cluster of buildings including my great-grandparents’ century-old Bird Camp, four glamping tents and several cabins I have built in the last few years.

From early spring until the leaves change color in the fall, I have the honor to host vacationing guests who come to the Adirondack Mountains from all over the world, and who leave with generous notes of thanks and lovely reviews for having had the opportunity to live as I do with my children now, and as my grandparents and great-parents once did here. We treasure our farm-like setting reminiscent of an 1800’s farm with pleasant meadows, beautiful mountain views and brilliant star-filled nights, and I am grateful to my family for helping us preserve this special place.
A few years ago, I bought 40 acres of beautiful land abutting the original property. Gorgeous mountain views and open meadows were reclaimed by clearing trees, and the historic Shields Road which accesses this portion of the land has been rebuilt. Originally I intended to build single family homes for sale, but the evolved to retaining all the land the building, as finances permit, sweet rental cabins (Camp HudsonView and Camp TwoSome), walking trails and this year, a fabulous Japanese temple with a cedar hot tub.

I am grateful that I’ve had fascinating professional and personal experience, and that I may live in an insanely beautiful wild place. I have a small business offers interesting challenges and rewards. I spend the winter building rustic furniture for my rentals, plowing snow with my four wheeler and working as weather permits on the properties.
And through the warm months, I have the opportunity to meet lovely people from all over the world who treasure what we have here. Our guests bring life, laughter, children and love to our quiet mountain retreat.

Forward!

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

My family’s connection with the Adirondacks goes back to 1905 when my great-aunt Edie Bird --- then a teenager living in Port Washington, Long Island --- became sick with TB. At that time, the Adirondack wilderness had acquired a reputation for its health giving properties, and people were convinced that the fresh air, isolation, and plenty of rest and wholesome food would help people infected with TB. So my great-grandparents sent their daughter Edie here to North River where she “took the cure” by boarding at the nearby Cedarwood Farm where she sat outside all winter with the other boarders, bundled under quilts on the porch, and in summer walking the roads and wildflower meadows. Happily, my great-aunt Edie Bird recovered from the dreaded TB (the owners of the farm were not so lucky -- they contracted and died of TB themselves).

In 1910, my great-grandparents, Tim and Ida Bird, bought eight acres of beautiful property on “Christian Hill” (as it was once known) in North River. (I have since then bought an additional abutting 40 acres). They then built a small “shingle style” camp in the rustic Adirondack style which we call Bird Cabin --- siting the small rustic dwelling to capitalize on dramatic southward views across the Gore Mountain range and the Hudson River two miles below. They brought up by train beautiful leaded glass windows and other building materials from a demolished Guggenheim estate on Long Island. Building materials were locally acquired --- cedar shingles, stone, milled lumber nearby North Creek where intensive amounts of logging was being done. Traditionally, the women and children stayed all summer while the men traveled back and forth. Life was leisurely. Visiting, and having visitors, was an important part of life. Cooking was done with a hand pump and wood cook stove. It was a four day long trip from Port Washington, Long Island.

Today we are delighted to share this special property today with visiting guests from all over the world.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

The Adirondack Mountains are a spectacular range in upstate New York that showcases the breathtaking beauty of nature. There is a beautiful lake three miles down the winding road called 13th Lake which is completely natural and quiet with no sign of civilization on its shores.

Our guests enjoy spectacular views and acres of land that consists of pristine woods, meadows, vistas, and a spring-fed pond. The Hudson River is just down the hill, and the town of North Creek is five miles away. There is a historic cemetery next door, and Gore Mountain Ski Center and Garnet Hill are only a few miles away. Albany is only an hour-and-a-half away, and guests can reach Montreal within two hours. They can even take a short four-hour road trip to New York City. The town of North Creek is five miles away off the main Route 28 road. North Creek is a scenic little town with some great restaurants, a grocery store, a liquor store, some shopping places, and a scenic train called the Saratoga/North Creek Railroad, which takes folks in antique train cars along the Hudson River. Gore Mountain Ski Center is off Route 28 in North Creek.
