St. Hubert’s Isle Rental
St. Hubert's Isle is a private, family-owned island on Raquette Lake, in the heart of the Adirondacks — home to a 1917 cottage, a four-bedroom main house, and the historic Church of the Good Shepherd. Accessible only by boat, the island has been a quiet retreat for our family for generations, and we now welcome a limited number of guests each season to share in it.
The Cottage and Main House are booked separately, so it's possible another party may be staying elsewhere on the island at the same time as you. If you'd like the island entirely to yourselves, book both properties for your dates.
• Cottage: 1 bedroom, 1 bath, sleeps 4
• Main House: 4 bedrooms, 1 bath, sleeps up to 10
• Book both together: 5 bedrooms, 2 baths, sleeps up to 14–16 — full island privacy
Sharing the Island
Because St. Hubert's Isle is a working family property with two separate rentable homes, we do occasionally host two different parties on the island at once — one in the Cottage, one in the Main House. Each has its own private space, kitchen, bath, and dock access. Shared outdoor areas (grounds, trails, and the historic church) are available to both parties. If full island privacy matters for your trip, reserve both listings for the same dates.
2026 Summer Availability
Weekly rentals are Saturday to Saturday. We're also opening select fall foliage weeks (late September–early October) — inquire for dates.

Rent the Main House
Rent the Main House and enjoy a spacious retreat on the island — up to 10 across four bedrooms and one bath, with the dock, canoe, kayaks, paddle boat, fire pit, and the historic Church of the Good Shepherd all part of your stay. It's the only island in the Adirondacks with a chapel on site, and it's been in our family for more than 60 years. Ideal for family reunions, multi-generational gatherings, and groups visiting camp families at Raquette Lake Boys and Girls Camp. Dog friendly. The Cottage is rented separately and may be occupied by another party during your stay — reserve both listings if you’d like the island entirely to yourselves.
