Melody Lodge was built in 1912 by Mr. Allison Van Hoose as a singing school for girls.

The Lodge sits atop Page Hill, 2200 feet above sea level, commanding a view of Lakes Pleasant and Sacandaga. During the summer months, the mountainside echoed with voices of young hopefuls.

Melody Lodge remained a school of music up until World War 1, when it became a summer residence and changed hands several times.

In 1937, Frances and Hamilton Chequer of Speculator purchased the Lodge and opened it to the public, offering meals and lodging. After many memorable years, the Chequers retired their services to Susan and George Swift. Over the years the Swift's raised a family, made many friends & created the Melody Lodge you know today. Now, after 31 years, George and Sue turn to their daugther Julie to continue the tradition of Melody Lodge.
