Your Hosts

Changing seasons, starry nights, campfires and gathering with loved ones are at the center of The Babcock Lake Mountain Lodge experience. Mike and Julie, the owners of the lodge, have taken the best of what nature has to offer and paired it with luxury and rustic touches to create a space for total relaxation and privacy.

Mike is from the New York City area and worked on a chartered fishing boat around Long Island Sound before heading to college. Beyond a love of fishing, he learned the importance of hospitality and how a day with friends and family (and even strangers who become friends) can create lasting memories and an appreciation for the outdoors.

Julie is from Upstate New York. A nurse by training, she understands the importance of self-care, taking a break from it all, and just having downtime to rest and relax.

After 20+ years of marriage, Mike and Julie find enjoyment in providing hospitality for others and have created a perfect retreat to share. Mike prides himself on being just a quick phone call away for his guests and makes himself available for last minute needs and requests.

Currently they live in the Grafton Mountains of New York with their Bernese Mountain Dog and take every opportunity to share their space with those looking for the perfect retreat.
