A
rustic resort with eighteen house-keeping
cottages anchored by a wonderful Adirondack Great
Camp style lodge
Sequestered
among balsam firs, spruce and cedar trees on the
secluded shores of Big Moose Lake, Covewood Lodge
provides accommodations for about 100 guests --
mostly families in the summer and adventurers
in the Fall.
All
hotel rooms and apartments are equipped with
private baths and some have glassed-in porches
overlooking lake or woodland. Deluxe cottages
face the lake and have large living rooms,
fireplaces and one to four bedrooms. Smaller
cottages can accommodate one to three persons.

Covewood from the perspective of our loons (at least
when they're not underwater), click here
for the Loon's-Eye Tour (be
patient -- it may take a few seconds for the page to
load, but it's worth it).

Recreational
activities include canoeing, sailing, swimming,
water-skiing, volley ball, tennis, badminton, pool,
ping-pong, horseshoes, and boating. Of course,
hiking the extensive and beautiful network of trails
surrounding Covewood is always a mulit-season favorite.
Of course,
children are very welcome at Covewood. Experienced
counselors plan games, trips, crafts and picnics for
various age groups. There is a sandy children's
beach, as well as a rumpus room. Togetherness is
great -- but parents deserve some fun for themselves
knowing the children are safe and having a great
time.

It's
Time to Make Those Summer Reservations
Here
it is nearing the end of Winter and it's time to turn our thoughts to the
upcoming summer season of 2008. Although
many of our cabins are already reserved for the
season by our 'regular' guests, there
are still quite a few available. Call
800-357-7530 and talk with Major or Di about a stay
at Covewood today.
Play the
Famous Covewood Ring Game Online
For
decades the Covewood Ring Game has been a favorite game
of guests, sparking rivalries amongst family members and
between cottages. If you're a veteran wishing to relive
this Lodge porch past-time, or if you're a newbie
wanting some pre-vacation practice, then you'll be happy
to know the game
is now online (you should have Microsoft
Internet Explorer 4.0 or better; Netscape browsers play
at your own risk -- be patient while the images load).
Good luck.
Covewood
Named National Historic Place
Covewood was unanimously approved by the New York
State Review Board this past November for listing in
the State and National
Register of Historic Places. This caps a nearly
year-long application effort that recognizes
Covewood Lodge as a historic property with
"significance to the Nation, State and
Community."
Covewood
Lodge joins an impressive family of historic and
famous sites across the country, as well as New York
State. The process will be completed within the next
couple months once the Commissioner of the Office of
Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (of New
York) and the National Park Service have completed
the paperwork. We're all looking forward to the
official designation of the uniqueness that is
Covewood that our guests and friends have known
about and enjoyed for years.
