Sunshine Pines – The Gathering Place

Your Secluded Adirondack Escape for Every Season

Tucked deep in the heart of New York’s breathtaking Adirondack Mountains, Sunshine Pines – The Gathering Place offers a rare mix of log cabin charm, modern comfort, and private wilderness access. Whether you’re planning a family reunion, a seasonal getaway, or a multi-family adventure, this three-bedroom, three-bath lodge—with a loft, sprawling common spaces, and over 450 feet of private river frontage—is built to bring people together without compromising on personal space or luxury.

From the moment you arrive, a sense of peace sets in. Towering pines and mountain breezes welcome you as you follow a quiet road into our secluded property. Here, the sounds of rushing water, rustling leaves, and crackling firelight replace the noise of daily life. Every detail—from the chef’s kitchen to the stone fireplace, from the sun deck to the screened porch—has been thoughtfully designed to make your Adirondack stay unforgettable.
