Guest Accommodations

We suggest you block rooms as soon as possible. Securing accommodations is one of the most challenging things about having your wedding in the Central Adirondacks. There are no hotels or motels in Raquette Lake.  If you desire traditional lodging such as hotels or motels you will need to book accommodations anywhere in a 15-mile radius (Inlet or Blue Mountain Lake) or a 25-mile radius (Old Forge, Indian Lake or Long Lake) or a 42-mile radius (North Creek). We can make suggestions for whom to call if you are interested in a shuttle service from hotel(s) to the WW Durant.

Great Camp Sagamore

On the other hand, if you and your guests would like to stay at the Alfred Vanderbilt wilderness estate, consider renting out Great Camp Sagamore for the weekend.  Great Camp Sagamore, located just four miles from Raquette Lake village on its own private lake, is an extraordinary, historic icon of  American Adirondack style – where celebrities, politicians and world leaders have gathered to dream big, connect with others and allow ideas to take root. It is a National Historic Landmark celebrating the work of architect/developer, William West Durant. A wilderness estate that is the prototype of Adirondack style, Sagamore was the Adirondack home of the Vanderbilt family and staff–a rustic community that was famous for parties, people, celebrities and visiting world leaders from 1901 to 1954.
