Bill Busch spent his life pursuing the dream of a resort in the Adirondacks in upstate NY where
everything that guests needed was available in one place. In 1943 he purchased Canoe Island, ¾ of a mile across Lake
George with a down payment of 124 bushels of buckwheat seed. Then three years later he built six log cabins on the
mainland using on-site trees. After marrying Jane Richter in the spring of 1948, they greeted vacationing guests as
partners in life.
They welcomed honeymooners, picking them up at the train station in Lake George Village and hosted many
conferences, the first in 1949 as well as generations of families and many of their reunions continue today.
A touch of nostalgia seems appropriate some 65 years after ground breaking, hence the old album
pictures highlighting decades of enjoyment on the shores of Lake George. The lodge is now, as it was then, family run
while retaining a gracious link to gentler times. It is our belief that your leisure time is valuable time and that the
quality of your outdoor experience should match the quality of your lodging.
