Amenity Summary

We have full conference amenities including wireless internet, audio and visual equipment in the main Lodge. The main Lodge also houses 4 B&B rooms all with their own private bath.

• Seasonally, there is an opportunity to conduct lakeside tent meetings on our 3 acre lake property that sits directly west providing some of the most inspirational sunsets you will ever encounter.
  
• Our culinary magic with the Adirondacks only hand-crafted Wine & Bier Cellar with over 100 hard-to-find old world biers and over 125 boutique wines is truly something you need to experience and provides an original immersion for all attendees to aid in bonding.
  
• The fireplace Rathskeller is a great place to socialize and serves as an Adirondack game room as well in addition to the Wine & Bier Keller.
  
• Hohmeyer's Lake Clear Lodge and our Adirondack Alps experience is in the midst of the St. Regis Wilderness region - the largest intact wilderness area east of the Mississippi - and largely undiscovered. It is also we believe, the "capitol" of the Adirondacks with unfathomable recreational, cultural, historical and environmental area attractions. Out of your handcrafted lodging you are minutes away from unparalleled solitude, or internationally recognized cultural and sporting events.
  
• Our 22-acre "great camp" style estate sits amidst 18,000 acres of 58 bodies of water in the Northeast quadrant of the 6 million acre Adirondack Park. From our property you can directly access the Old Forge to Lake Placid Recreational Trail, the Jack Rabbit X-Country Ski Trail that takes you to the New York State Visitor Interpretive Center or to Lake Placid and the Olympic region; and the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation Fish Hatchery in Lake Clear. From our beach you can travel through countless bodies of water on New York State's only designated wilderness canoe area meaning that it is free of all motorized traffic. Directly from our property are simply endless miles of hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, canoeing, kayaking, boating, fishing, snowmobiling and ice fishing. Perhaps the greatest benefit of all: we believe the greatest sunset mountain lake view off our beach in the entire Adirondacks. Our springs, summers and falls brings immense solitude and peace as Lake Clear even though it is NYS's 28th largest lake has no public boat access and half of the Lake is owned by NYS, while in the winter the softly falling snow is complimented by fun outdoor activities of skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing and hiking.

However, our setting for your corporate retreat is more than this. It is a spirit that we seek to immerse you in - in a very laid back but very personalized approach. There are no valets in the driveway or TV's in the rooms. However, it is an experience where proprietor Ernest Hohmeyer personally explains the evening fare, Chef Cathy Hohmeyer hand-cuts the fresh stocks of vegetables and herbs from our garden and where you can browse through our family handcrafted wein and bier keller milled from wood from our own property or stay in our hand built accommodations. We continue with many of our respective families new and old world traditions with our own 21st century flair. Yet, we believe that since the early days of the Adirondacks there is a natural and human spirit here that is there to immerse yourself in and we attempt to rejuvenate you by Cathy's natural and holistic herbs, spices and oils that flavor our Adirondack Alps Cuisine. We reach out to you through our hand-crafted rustic furniture with old world twists and through every blade of grass and snow-packed trails which generations of our families have transversed, along with the souls of many before us who always seemed to congregate on our 25 acre estate to contribute to an energy that helped themselves and formed the foundation to rejuvenate others. Decade's of my mother pounding on schnitzels, growing fresh flowers, herbs and spices in our garden scent the hallways, my father philosophizing to our guests while he mixed them a family elixir resonate in the Rathskeller, and Cathy's great aunt hand sorting the registered mail that came by stage coach that was eagerly anticipated by local residents seem to dance in the embers of our mammoth stone fireplace.

Most importantly we do not treat you as our customer but as a friend who is visiting our home as for three generations this has been our home.

Cathy and I do not greet you with any pretense or accolades and our experience here is not about the family handcrafted accommodations or internationally recognized cuisine. It is the belief that our giving of ourselves is a poem to you, an inspiration to travel your road with a lighter bounce and to remember what is important to you and subsequently to all of us as part of humanity and our valued place in an unparalleled ecosystem we call the Great Woods. It is about how we bring all of this together - WITH YOU - to add another seedling to a rejuvenated spirit that becomes what the Adirondacks are and what is Hohmeyer's Lake Clear Lodge.
