Once the summer White House of President Calvin Coolidge, who was in office from August 1923 to March 1929, White Pine Camp's rustic interiors and towering pines paint a time-honored picture.
Thirteen cottages and cabins are furnished with hand-built Adirondack-style furniture, stone fireplaces or wood stoves and pastoral views. History buffs may reserve the President's Cabin, where Coolidge slept.
Take a dip in the clear waters of Osgood Pond, lounge by the fire in the Great Room or stroll over a 300-foot wooden bridge to the Japanese teahouse. The set-your-own-pins bowling alley, red English clay tennis court and restored Alpine rock garden are perks.
