This is a virtual reality scene from the inside of W. W. Durant's cabin at Camp Huntington on Raquette Lake.  The room in view is Durant's office.

        W. W. Durant's cabin, located at Camp Huntington, was built in 1889.  The cabin sits close to the shore with a great view of Raquette Lake.  It follows the popular rustic design of the period, and includes bay windows, bark siding with moss insulation, a stone chimney, and bark covered ceilings.  The cabin was made strictly with natural products so that it would blend well in nature.

        Within the cabin, there is a bedroom, an office, and a bathroom.  The bedroom and office share a double sided stone fireplace, which exhausts into one chimney.  The bedroom also includes a king sized bed made from tree trunks and a wooden dresser.  Durant's office contains a smaller bed of the same style, a desk, a few tables, and a large bay window.  Durant made sure he had a great view of the lake while he worked at his desk, so he strategically placed it in front of this window.  The exquisite desk and tables are made from, and decorated with, many small branches and twigs (a style typical of the period).  Durant's initials can be found on the underside of the desk in elaborate detail.  Lighting in the cabin is taken care of through the large windows, the fireplace, and the many small lamps throughout.  The bathroom in Durantís lovely cabin contains a bathtub and a sink.  The tub, suited for a king, is encased in wood and raised approximately three feet off the ground.

        Outside of the cabin, there is a small wooden outhouse, which is no longer in use. Durant also had his own personal dock by the water.  The pine knot is also located right outside of Durant's cabin. The pine knot is a tree with a very large growth on its side from which the camp got its former name, Camp Pine Knot.

         Today, Durant's cabin is said to be used as the guesthouse for the president of the college when he goes to visit Camp Huntington.  It is also used for other donators to the college and as a historic site.
