Stiefvater's Lakeside Cottages

Stiefvater's has been a family owned and operated resort since 1933. It was founded by Helen Stiefvater, with the help of her two sons Edward and Robert . In 1956 Helen expanded her 60 foot of lakefront parcel with the purchase of adjacent land giving her a total of 4.5 acres and 330' of lakefront on Fourth Lake of the Fulton Chain of Lakes.
The property was formerly known as Camp Assisium. It had been owned by Father Josen May of Utica Catholic Charities as a boys and girls camp for 25 years.
Prior to that the parcel was a Rest Camp for Francisian Sisters of Saint Elizabeth's Hospital and run by Sister Della Rosa who ministered to lumberjacks. |
| Anyone having any knowledge of the history of either Camp Assisum or the Rest Camp please e-mail us. Also if former campers would like to get in touch with each other, if you send your name, address, phone number, e-mail address and the years you were a camper, I will compile a camp list.
We continue to provide a safe, clean, family environment in the heart of the Adirondacks and look forward to meeting you and your family. |
