Camp GMB meets Camp Karibu

The description of this house does not do it justice. It was everything and more. Absolutely beautiful property and home. The owners thought of everything. The views were beautiful, the outside beautifully lit with Christmas lights. Three floors with enough bathrooms for 13 women 35-40 years old. I can’t begin to tell you how refreshing the steam shower was…. We were sad to leave and are hoping to return back to this house again. Thank you for hosting us!

About the host

Hosted by Megan Lavin

Our family is anchored in Washington, DC, but we spend as much time as we can at Camp Karibu. Megan grew up in Lake Placid, and the Club property is as much of a true home as any we know. We hope you enjoy Camp Karibu as much as us, our twin boys and our perfect pup Fritzy do!

Why they chose this property

5 BR, 5 1/2 Bath Fully-Renovated Historic Lake Placid Club Cottage on 45-Hole Golf Course. Camp Karibu is one of the few remaining and most spectacular of the original Lake Placid Club cottages. The primary bedroom level includes a main suite with a king bed, separate sitting room, large closet area and full bath with two sinks and a steam shower. Enjoy sweeping, unobstructed mountain views from both the bedroom and sitting room. Also on this level are two bedrooms (one king & one queen), which share a Jack-N-Jill full bath with two sinks and a shower. Also off these 2 bedrooms is a screened sleeping porch with a full bed. Think of the naps with treehouse vibes! This porched is glassed in but unheated during the colder months. Finally on this level is a bedroom with two twin beds and another full bath with a bathtub/shower combo.

The lower level features a king bedroom with a full bath with shower. This bedroom is accessible without climbing stairs, and there are driveways that access both this lower level and the main level of Karibu. There is another full bath on the 4th floor with a bathtub/shower combo and a powder room on the main level. In all, there is at least one bathroom on each of the four levels.

Karibu has main level and lower level living rooms and a game room with a ping pong table. The gourmet kitchen is well equipped and features a butler's pantry with a coffee station. There is also a gas grill on the balcony. The two queen bedrooms have desks to accommodate remote work or gaming. There's also a desk in the sitting room off the kitchen. At Karibu, we provide the highest-speed internet offered, Spectrum cable TV and 3 smart TVs.

Karibu offers the best of all offerings - cross country ski, sled or golf just outside the back door, walk 3 minutes to Mirror Lake, drive15 minutes to Whiteface Mtn. or easily bike to the Lussi and Loggers mountain biking trails on the other side of the course.
