Welcoming guests for over one hundred years, The Hedges on Blue Mountain Lake is the former lakeside Adirondack Great Camp of Civil War brigadier general Hiram Duryea.
Located on a peninsula on Blue Mountain Lake, The Hedges sits on 12 scenic acres with over 1600’ of waterfront. The views are simply spectacular.
Choose your accommodations from over 30 charming wood-and-stone lodging options, including a variety of multi-bedroom cabins perfect for families or rooms and suites in the main lodge (reserved for adult guests). All accommodations come with private baths.
Lodging is in the traditional and cozy Adirondack style with no TVs to allow guests to unplug truly. However, guests are never bored. Activities include all the usual watersports, tennis, BINGO, campfires, live music by the campfire, yoga, watercolor painting, adult social hour, ice cream sundae party, fly tying, forest ranger visit, birds of prey visit, history talk, and astronomy lectures. There are two game rooms, various lawn games and a library for guests to enjoy.
Your stay includes breakfast and a delectable four-course dinner every day (aka, American Plan). Guests absolutely rave about the food. The menu changes daily, and all dishes are prepared by hand, on-premises with seasonal ingredients, many locally sourced. It’s easy to understand why so many families and guests return year after year
Guests can pre-order boxed lunches o take with them on hiking, boating, biking or other adventures. And, they send you off to bed with nightly s’mores. That’s our kind of roughing it.
