About this property

Welcome to White Lake Lodges

White Lake Lodges stands as a pristine gem in the heart of the Adirondacks, offering guests an authentic retreat framed by towering pines and serene lake views. This idyllic destination, located at 12973 NY-28, White Lake, NY, consistently earns a remarkable 4.6-star rating, a testament to its exceptional standards and warm hospitality.

The lodges themselves capture the rustic charm of Adirondack design, yet they are impeccably maintained, blending tradition with comfort. Guests repeatedly praise the spotless cabins, which come fully equipped to meet every need—from cozy living spaces to modern conveniences. Visitors often highlight the owner’s welcoming presence, with many noting the personalized attention and care that makes each stay feel intimate and special.

Beyond the comfort of the cabins, White Lake Lodges offers direct access to a rich array of outdoor activities that engage and delight all ages. Whether it’s paddling canoes and kayaks on the crystal-clear lake, snowmobiling along nearby trails, or simply gathering around the shared fire pit under starlit skies, the location fosters both adventure and togetherness. Families cherish the safe environment where grandchildren can explore freely while adults unwind in nature’s embrace.

White Lake Lodges transcends the typical vacation rental; it cultivates memories. From multi-generational family reunions to milestone celebrations like weddings, the property’s scenic beauty and thoughtfully designed amenities provide the perfect setting. The Adirondack-style décor entwines with the natural landscape to craft a timeless atmosphere that guests describe as picture-perfect and heartwarming.

Though the layout fosters a community spirit, with cabins nestled close enough to connect but spaced to afford comfort, some guests note the shared spaces may limit privacy. Yet, many find this to be an unexpected blessing, as it sparks new friendships and creates a sense of belonging among visitors. The nearby eateries and Old Forge’s charm enrich the experience, ensuring guests have both tranquility and convenience within reach.

It is important to acknowledge recent changes in ownership, as the property transitioned to private use in 2021, temporarily suspending rentals. For those who have experienced White Lake Lodges, this pause is bittersweet—a sign of the deep affection it inspires. Past guests hold onto their memories of joyful celebrations, peaceful mornings by the lake, and the genuine connection to place and people.

Ultimately, White Lake Lodges is more than a destination—it is a heartfelt embrace of nature, tradition, and community. It invites guests to step into a living story of Adirondack hospitality, where every moment is crafted with care and every visit leaves a lasting imprint on the soul.

The White Lake Lodges experience was perfect for the family gathering we had hoped for. We had everything needed for a great vacation. The unit was well equipped and very clean, The owners were on site and extremely friendly and helpful. The lake was beautiful and they have all the kayaks and water sports equipment needed for the kids and adults. My two small grand children were thrilled with the swimming area and the opportunity to practice casting in the guise of fishing. We would definitely recommend White Lake Lodges and plan on returning soon.

The cabins are absolutely beautiful and immaculate. They come equipped with all you could need. The view is wonderful and I loved taking the canoe and kayaks on the lake. The only down side is that there isn't a ton of privacy. All of the cabins are close together and share a fire pit. On the bright side. .. we ended up meeting people from the same neighborhood that went to high school with family members. Overall, a very nice experience.

We just had a great weekend at White Lake Lodge. The owners were very accommodating and helpful. The Fern cabin was really nice, good for two people. It had everything we needed. We would definitely return.

We have stayed at White Lake Lodge several times. Greg and Danielle treat u like family. Cabins and houses are clean and well kept. They are nestled off the roadway under the pines not far from local eateries and Old Forge. WLL also has easy , direct access to the snowmobile trail system. White lake is beautiful in the summer also and has boat dock off the shore line beach. Great times had with friends and family year round.

Robert - White Lake Lodges was sold off in 2021 to a party who now uses it as a private family resort and does not offer rentals at this time - It is sad because we loved the place and former owners, but I do not know why google shows it still open for business when it is now a private property. Was a Special Place and I hope the new owners enjoy it as much as all the past clients have!

Went to White Lake Lodges with my family for Presidents Day weekend and loved it. The cabin was beautifully decorated and clean. We went snowmobiling out on the lake and in the local trails. The owners could not have been more accommodating and nice. Can't wait to go back in the summer.

From the first time we saw the Lodges we knew this was where we were having our wedding! Everything is rustic and Adirondack style but in mint, perfectly maintained, picture perfect condition. The whole team from the Lodges couldn’t be more helpful throughout the process. On top of it their wedding package offers you incredible value. The setting itself is as Adirondack as it gets. Couldn’t picture a better spot to spend time with friends and family. So naturally their beach by the lake is the perfect spot for a wedding! See our pictures! The reception area is VERY well set up as well with great power supply for your entertainment company and a nice lawn area for cocktail hour. The Lodges and rooms themselves are VERY well maintained, spotless and very well set up for a super relaxing, comfortable stay! Also SUPER convenient that they have an ice machine with ice and firewood right at the Lodges! The drive from the NYC area makes it almost feel like a destination wedding yet close enough for a drive for the weekend stay. We could probably write a book about the fantastic things the Lodges offer!

We planned our son's wedding in 4 weeks with the help of White Lake Lodges! This property turned out to be the best wedding location anyone could have dreamed of. Every detail was perfectly in place, turn-key ready. Gorgeous views, exquisitely decorated accommodations in the lodges, beautiful, large space for wedding, multiple gorgeously designed decorations/centerpieces free as part of the wedding package, list of first class vendors for food, drinks, tent rentals, makeup artists, cake, florist, etc. They even had a snuggle station with blankets by the huge bonfire pit that easily fit all the wedding guests along with a S'More fun station with marshmallows, chocolate & graham crackers. They had an authentic canoe that was propped up to waist level that was stocked w/ice (ice machine on property) that we chilled our wine, water & beer in. Limit was 50 guests but we easily each had luxurious sleeping accommodations, fully equipped kitchens to cook any kind of meal - we did a Game of Thrones rehearsal dinner, large breakfasts & lunches for all guest and each cabin had everything we needed. Everything was first class - the pottery barn linens, high end kitchen appliances and cookware, every wall had a unique different decorations hanging on them, and everything was spotless when we arrived. The White lakes team of the owner, Danielle, Brenda and Laurie could not have been more kind, helpful & gracious in answering our numerous questions. The vendors they referred were top notch - Michaels Catering- large selection, everything was scrumptious, Gypsy Girl stone pizza truck had gourmet pizzas for a special lunch, the Tent Gallery offered pristine white tent w/padded chairs, bistro lights, clear panels for view of lake & an early set up, Caruso' pastry shop designed a cake over the phone and it was exactly like the bride dreamed of. Our guests raved about every detail, there was not 1 mistake, concern or problem the whole long Columbus day weekend. I just cannot more highly recommend Danielle, her team and this venue. Bravo ladies - you made our families dreams come true!
