As the Northeast’s only private-island meeting facility, The Sagamore promises a tranquil backdrop for gatherings in the heart of New York’s Adirondack Mountains. The 70-acre island on Lake George brims with recreational opportunities, luxury lodgings, and state-of-the-art meeting facilities.
Accommodations range from the colonial-revival style rooms and suites at the Historic Hotel to Adirondack-style accommodations at seven lakeside lodges. Ten bilevel suites and a boardroom occupy the self-contained Hermitage—originally a nineteenth-century carriage house and today, an ideal executive retreat. Larger groups assemble in the resort’s other meeting facilities: a seasonal outdoor terrace, six rooms at the Historic Hotel and four rooms at the full-service Conference Center.
Additional group facilities wait at the 9,000-square-foot indoor Challenge Course. This facility, the largest facility of its kind in the Northeast, contributes a ropes course, climbing wall and other activities designed to develop leadership and communications skills. Relationship building also takes place during fishing charters and sailing excursions, while playing tennis on six courts or golf on the mainland’s 18-hole Donald Ross–designed challenge and through an array of wintertime outdoor activities.
Others prefer the more relaxed offerings found at the Sagamore Spa. Dining highlights every stay at the resort, where groups enjoy anything from a formal banquet to a casual cookout to a dinner cruise aboard a replicated nineteenth-century touring boat called The Morgan.
