Stays & Get-Aways

Item Description

Enjoy a two-night stay compliments of Packbasket Adventures, an old-fashioned Adirondack Lodge and Guide Service, and a packed lunch for 2 and canoe rental for the day on Cranberry Lake from the Wanakena General Store.

Nestled in the woods on the banks of the Oswegatchie River at the edge of the Five Ponds Wilderness Area, the lodge provides a great getaway for couples, families and friends. The beautiful Adirondack log lodge consists of four bedrooms with private baths. Each room is finely appointed in lodge style, making for a cozy return at the end of the day’s adventure. The first floor of the lodge is wheelchair accessible. A stately great room with an Adirondack granite-faced masonry heater gives one the opportunity to relax with other guests. In contrast, the study offers a peaceful retreat with connections by telephone and internet to the outside world. Rounding out the accommodations, our riverside dining room and screened porch allow guests to enjoy the sight and sound of the Oswegatchie River.

The grounds encompass 300 feet of river frontage with a fire ring and park bench at the river’s edge. Wildflowers, tall pines and balsam firs grow throughout the property. A semi-circle drive makes arriving and departing with a boat or sled trailer convenient.

Reservations are required. Our accommodations are for adults and children 12 years and older. We are smoke-free accommodation.  Pets are not allowed. Guests with physical limitations are happily accommodated.

Packbasket Adventures Lodge and Guide Service  is located in Wanakena, New York in the least traveled and some say, the most beautiful part of the Adirondacks-the northwest foothills. This is a land of aromatic softwoods and robust hardwoods, pristine lakes, sparkling rivers and innumerable ponds. It is the domain of the beaver and the bald eagle, the bobcat and the snowshoe hare. The terrain is rolling, with established trails leading to fine outlooks, through tall pines, past breath-taking waterfalls.

This is the setting for Packbasket Adventures – nestled in the woods on the banks of the Oswegatchie River at the edge of the Five Ponds Wilderness Area. Our lodge and cabin provide a great getaway for couples, families and friends.  We treat you to sumptuous meals and friendly hospitality.   Our knowledgeable staff will help you find just the right excursion to fit your style.  Canoe, kayaks and snowshoes rentals are available.
