President's Cabin with Lake View
The Cabin is situated less than 100 feet from lake in the Owners building. So even though Presidents is in what we call the Owners building, it has its own private entrances and there are no shared indoor spaces. It is very private, but has one adjoining wall with Mrs Coolidge's Cabin.
President's consists of a Large living and dining room with fireplace, Kitchen, and Bedroom with queen bed. Yes, President Coolidge slept here. Full bathroom with tub and shower. Single bed in an alcove of living/dining room. Covered porch overlooking the lake. Adjoins Mrs. Coolidge's
The Great Room: The social retreat of an Adirondack Great Camp is the Great Room, a rustically grandiose meeting place for formal and informal activities. White Pine Camp's Great Room is available to guests at all times and provides a comfortable setting with furnishings typical of the era, including stick furniture, leather couches and decorative taxidermy. Firewood in the huge flagstone fireplace is always laid for guests to light at their leisure.
The Overlook: Under a canopy of cathedral pines and overlooking the Japanese Tea House and Osgood Pond is the Overlook. With its expansive vintage red tile patio, pergola, Adirondack furniture and fire pit, the Overlook is a popular spot for a lunch time picnic, late afternoon cocktails or an evening campfire with s'mores.
The Bowling Alley: Part of the Addison Mizner architectural design, the bowling alley was added to the game room in 1911. Yes, the set-your-own-pins bowling alley is still functioning and is much enjoyed by guests young and old. It also boasts a large stone fireplace, pool table and intimate back porch with incredible sunset views of Osgood Pond.
Japanese Tea House: Much coveted by the wealthy ladies of the Great Camps was a Japanese Tea House on an island. Olive White, wife of the original owner, was determined to have one as well. Today the Tea House is one of the most sought-after photo subjects in the Adirondacks. Our guests enjoy unlimited use of the Tea House island as a quiet getaway,

Staying at White Pine Camp was a taste of yesteryear. Quiet, away from it all. I loved the lack of TV, Internet, WiFi (which are all available only in the communal building). It was refreshing to have a few days off from the outside world.
The cabin was older but that added to the charm. It was a very cold weekend but we were never uncomfortable. The only negative is that our cabin shared a (thin) wall with the neighbors and part of their party was in a room above our bedroom. We could hear everything, including their snoring.
We stayed here (in President's Cabin) for 6 days and 5 nights in January and it was as close to perfect as it gets. The centerpiece of the cabin is a big beautiful fireplace. We were amply supplied with firewood and kindling, and even without the fire, and even with temperatures as low as -29, the cabin was warm and cozy. The kitchen was well-supplied, the view off the back porch magnificent, and the proximity to Saranac Lake, Lake Placid and cross-country skiing opportunities was icing on the cake. The staff was readily available and kind if we needed anything (and there wasn't much we needed!) And being an American history nerd, staying where Calvin Coolidge hung out for a summer was a real treat!
My husband and I desperately needed some down time and to unplug. We were delighted every day by the gorgeous view from our cabin. The cabin was cosy and well appointed. We loved using the canoes and kayaks to view nature - deer, beaver, loon, merganser and a moose calf. Already looking to book for next year.
This is a property probably best to rent 3 days or more. So many lakes, streams nearby to enjoy. On property nice ping pong and pool table. Bowling alley was unique.nice boat houses, trails and again, many areas of interest fairly close by
