Set on the tranquil shores of Lower Saranac Lake, the Mark Twain Camp offers a rare opportunity to stay in a place where literary history and natural beauty meet. In 1901, Mark Twain spent the summer here, drawing inspiration from the peaceful surroundings while working on his writing. Today, guests can experience that same quiet setting, with sweeping lake views and a sense of timeless Adirondack charm.
The spacious lakeside home accommodates up to eight guests and features comfortable bedrooms, a full kitchen, and inviting living spaces. Outside, a private dock provides easy access for swimming, boating, or simply relaxing by the water. Canoes and kayaks are available for exploring the lake’s scenic coves, while evenings can be spent enjoying the fresh air or gathering around the fire.
Though secluded, the camp is just a short drive, 2 miles, from Saranac Lake, offering convenient access to shops, dining, and local attractions. Combining historic significance with modern comfort, this unique retreat invites visitors to unwind, explore, and connect with the Adirondacks in a truly memorable way.
