About Us

In the late 1920's, outdoorsman and guide "Long Tom" Currier, built two cabins and opened for business as the Currier Camps, serving meals in the lodge and offering guide service. The Currier Camps are still listed as a landmark on many local maps.

Dick Eastman was next in line as proprietor. The camp served meals and hosted many outdoors lovers.

Stewart Young, for whom our road is named, was the next proprietor/guide to own the property. It is believed he is the one who named the lodge and cabins "Lakeview". He also built and rebuilt cabins one through six.

Ed and Rhea Ponzek of Chicopee, MA were the next owners. They had "Lakeview" for a number of years. Ed was famous for his "Kook Book", a collection of jokes and sayings he had heard over the years.

Nicky and Ron Clermont of "Nicky's Country Kitchen" were the next owners. Nicky is still well known for her wonderful food and sticky buns! In 1985 Ron and Nicky sold to Dennis and Elaine McDermott of RI.

Dennis and Elaine changed the name to Lopstick and made many structural improvements. They opened the cabins in the winter to snowmobilers, installed an artesian well, updated the septics, deepened the pond, and built cabins 7 and 8. Then Memorial Day weekend in 1988, they won $3.7 million in the Tri-State Megabucks. They soon decided retirement was a better way of life! They were the last owners to serve meals here.

Melody and Chuck Sage owned the lodge for a brief time. Before owning the lodge, they owned what is now our "Guest House".

In May of 1991, we began living the dream of making our home here in the Great North Woods of New Hampshire. In 1995, we began offering guide service for fly fishing and bird hunting, carrying on the tradition of the proprietor/guides.

In 1997 we added a Jacuzzi in the Guest House and bought our first driftboat. In 1998 we opened the fly shop offering anglers a place to shop for tackle and get fishing advice. In 1999 we began renting Ski Doo snowmobiles and we renovated Cabin 5. In 2000 we renovated Cabin 3 in the spring and then in August we built Cabins 9 and 10. Truly elegant north country accommodations! In May of 2001 we began renting the Kiley Cabin to summer vacationers. Also in 2001 due to a faulty foundation, we tore down the Guest House and rebuilt it opening again on 12/27/01. Three weeks later we added 'Eastwind' on Perry Stream.  In March of 2002 we gutted cabin 4 and re-opened the beautiful cozy cabin on June 7th.  In October 2002, Lakeview opened it's door to vacationers. For Christmas  2002, Woodside and Starlight Cove hosts it's first guests.

In 2003, Riffles opened in May and in August, we leveled the aging Cabin 6 and built a lovely one bedroom cabin with fireplace and Jacuzzi. It is our first cabin with radiant heat; it will not be our last.

Our big endeavor in 2003 was to purchase Magalloway Cabins. In the spring of 2004, we expanded our office and fly shop to accommodate our expanding business and later that fall we added Hillside and Loon Call. In 2005 we added RiverEdge and Overlook and renovated Kiley's making it open year round. 2006 we added Edgewater and Otter Landing. What's new in 2007? The Camp!!
