Restaurant Welcomes the Next Generation
RICHFIELD SPRINGS—Patrick and Sabina Corrigan have joined Patrick’s parents, Christine and Gene Corrigan, at the Lake House Restaurant and Lodge on Canadarago Lake in Richfield Springs.
Dating back to its construction in 1843, The Lake House Restaurant has stood as a testament to enduring hospitality in the Leatherstocking region of central New York. During the tumultuous 1920s, it gained notoriety as a speakeasy, frequented by the likes of Jack “Legs” Diamond, who reputedly used it as a summer retreat, complete with hidden passages rumored to conceal illicit liquor from authorities.
In 1935, the property was rejuvenated by Andrew Canacaris, a skilled Greek chef with a background in the hospitality industry. Canacaris transformed The Lake House into a flourishing resort hotel and restaurant, enhancing its reputation and charm.
The Lake House continued to thrive over the years, welcoming guests with its picturesque setting and renowned cuisine. In 1997, Christine and Gene Corrigan took ownership of the establishment, breathing new life into it.
Today, after 27 years of stewardship by the Corrigan family, The Lake House remains a beloved destination for fine dining, celebration and relaxation. As the next generation—Sabina and Patrick—step forward, they are poised to carry on the tradition of blending heritage with innovation, ensuring memorable experiences for years to come.
The Lake House and Lodge is located at 2521 County Highway 22, Richfield Springs. For more information, visit lakehouse1843.com.
