Heron Pond Hideaway is a private Adirondack lodge designed for unforgettable gatherings—without sacrificing space, comfort, or privacy. Set on five secluded wooded acres with your own waterfront, spring-fed swimming pond, this Great Camp–style retreat offers a rare blend of natural beauty, thoughtful design, and year-round adventure.
Centrally located in the Adirondacks, the home is just 15 minutes from Gore Mountain Ski Resort, 1.5 miles to Minerva Beach, 45 minutes to Lake George, 90 minutes to Lake Placid, with easy access to hiking, white water rafting, and countless outdoor experiences in every season!
From mornings by the water to evenings around the stone fireplace or under the stars in the hot tub, this is a place where families and friends reconnect in a truly special setting.
