Set along the storied shores of Rainbow Lake, Camp Dun Koppin' presents a rare chance to own a meaningful piece of Adirondack heritage. Long admired for its quiet beauty, pristine waters, and legacy as a retreat for those seeking a true connection to nature, the private waters of Rainbow Lake provide an extraordinary backdrop for this offering.

Both the year-round home and seasonal cabin are uniquely positioned just steps from the shoreline, as well as a primitive sauna that presents the exciting possibility of being reimagined as a sleeping cottage, all benefit from a grandfathered placement that would not be permitted today. Each structure is ready for renovation or restoration, offering the flexibility to redefine the existing buildings or create something new while preserving their exceptional proximity to the lake.
