About this property

Your private hill-top furnished glamping site on 50 private Adirondack acres

Have an amazing view of the stars when you stay with us at our hill-top lean-to. Located on 50 acres, this private lean-to is the perfect place to sleep under the moon-light. The lean-to comes furnished with plenty of chairs, tables, and a futon bed with a bug net. You will need to bring your sleeping bags. No tent needed but you will want the rest of your camping gear. We’d love to help you plan your activities for your trip! Our property includes hiking trails!

Rural, but centrally located, Overlook Lean-to is seven miles north of Paul Smiths College on Rt. 30. You’ll be in one of the most varied wilderness areas of the park.

The Paul Smith’s Visitors Interpretive Center is five miles away with wonderful hiking trails and educational programs for the whole family.

You’ll be 25 minutes to Saranac Lake or Malone; 35 minutes to Lake Placid and its Olympic venues; 50 minutes to Whiteface Mountain. The Natural History Museum of the Adirondacks (the Wild Center) is 40 minutes away in Tupper Lake.

Overlook Lean-to is a 3 sided shelter with an open sleep/hang out space. There is an outhouse nearby which comes stocked with toilet paper.

There is a nice campfire spot just in front of the lean-to for marshmallow roasts or quiet fire gazing. A reasonable amount of campfire wood is available for your use.

We provide a sheltered table you can cook and serve food on. We provide potable water in a jug for your use. There is also a gas stove that you can use!

There are nearby trails which are excellent for mountain biking with both back country roads and single-track. Designated horseback riding trail heads are less than a mile away. A “Wild and Scenic Study River,” the Osgood, flows nearby with put-in and take-outs within a couple of miles of our driveway. Drop-off and pick-up arrangements can be made. This is a “must paddle” for those interested in wildlife and scenery. Many have spotted the bald eagle who has a nest at the river’s edge. We are surrounded by many great fishing spots.

You'll have 50 acres to explore, including purpose-built mountain biking trails!

We provide well water in jugs but if you run out there is a cold water spigot a 3 minute walk away.

While you don't need a tent, there are spots to pitch one if you so choose. The lean-to comes furnished with plenty of chairs, tables, and a futon bed with a bug net.

There is a cooler at the site for your food. There is a lovely picnic table under a tarp next to the lean-to.

Exceeded our expectations!
The lean to and surrounding property looked fantastic on the listing, but it was even better than we anticipated. This place had everything we needed to make our stay fun and enjoyable. We stayed for five days and it went by too fast. We hope to come back again.

Lean-to experience
We had an amazing time exploring the property and the vicinity. Will left everything pristine and in perfect order for our group. Also he gave us great tips about the area and provided us with all that we needed. The howl of coyotes could be heard in the evenings, but they never came close. Fantastic experience.

My husband and I booked this spot as a vacation for our birthdays and anniversary and we were not disappointed. The property was beautiful, the lean-to was equipped with everything we could have needed and more, and Bob and Sheila were the most hospitable hosts! Highly recommend checking out this property and all of their cool accommodations!

A beautiful place to get away and unwind.
Our family of 4 stayed in the lean-to for a quick weekend getaway. It was just what we were looking for! Bob and Sheila were super responsive and having them on-site was great. Sheila helped us plan our hikes for the weekend and is super knowledgeable about the area. The site was wonderful! The lean-to was huge and really felt like home. They thought of everything. Can't wait to go back.
