Experience the beautiful Japanese Tea House at White Pine Camp
You may have heard about the open-air bowling alleys, ice houses, fully stocked lakes and other features of the Adirondack Great Camps built by Gilded Age titans of industry. Their wives, though, coveted having their very own Japanese Tea Houses on their properties. Olive White, the wife of the original owner of White Pine Camp, was determined to have one as well. Today, her Tea House is one of the most sought-after photo subjects in the Adirondacks.
White Pine Camp is now a resort and guests enjoy unlimited use of the Tea House island as a quiet getaway, sunbathing spot or a place for an evening cocktail. Accessing the Tea House entails a pleasant walk across a lagoon over a 300-foot wooden bridge and then a short arched stone bridge. Small weddings are sometimes held at the Tea House.
