Summary: Such a beautiful place! Everything was perfect! The owners were very nice, responsive, and even checked in on us through text making sure everything was great for us. It was just so special there. My girls, age 21 and 12, absolutely enjoyed it. Many great memories were made!

Summary: The owners were great, the location was as well. We loved the balcony/desk and spent lots of time there. The entry to the water was great and easy to use as was the Kayak. It was nice each room had a ceiling fan and box fans for use as well. The camp faces west, so that setting sun will really heat things up end of the day. The living room was nice and the furniture was pretty good! There was everything you would want there for seating, dining and grilling. Make sure to understand the layout of the property, one bedroom is in the lower portion of the boathouse, two good steps from being in the water. Which is great and not so great depending. Another bedroom is in a hallway that every one uses to go to the balcony and other bedrooms, so it's a bit of a thoroughfare. in the bunkhouse are 3 good sized bedrooms though. so if those meet your needs the others don't matter. The beds were awful, I had major lower back pain from the first night even though I had brought a foam topper; they badly need replacing. Unfortunately that pain really affected my vacation. This will vary per person, but is something to know about. The hosts did a great job letting you know what you were in for with the path into the camp in their pictures. The 'railing' on the path from the garage down to the camp was useless. Had I placed more than a light hand on it and had we needed it for true support, it'd have broken (dry rot). My 9 yr old nephew visited saying, that wouldn't even hold a baby, HA. Weird things kids say. The shower, I did learn my lesson to really look at it in the pictures (or lack of) and ask questions. It was a bit dirty too, but that can't really be helped since the access to it is near impossible. To get into the shower you have maybe 12 inches to squeeze in between the edge of the shower stall and the towel bars on the wall The shower opening faces a wall, with again, maybe 12 inches from 'door opening' to the wall. tricky at best! Not sure how a cleaning person would get in there, maybe with a long handled mop? or crawl? Some won't fit through to get in shower. I don't want to be all negative, there were many good things. But if you can't get a good nights sleep to enjoy your days because of the pain from the bed, showering is a chore, and when carrying all your stuff in and out you best have good core body strength as there is no railing to use for any assistance, it does affect things and the rating unfortunately.

Summary: Sunsets were amazing, swimming was awesome. Tried a little fishing, no luck. Camp was nice but a little outdated for the rental price. Lots of stirs to camp and water.

Summary: Sunset Lodge was just the restful vacation stay we needed. Jon and Jane were quick to respond to any inquires. Our family enjoyed the kayak and paddle board. They fished, swam, played cards and just sat back and relaxed.

Summary: We had an amazing time on the lake! We boated, fished and swam and it was beautiful! The sandy beach exceeded my expectations, and swimming off the dock was great too. The kitchen had everything we could need. The kids loved the unique set up with the bedrooms in the separate space. We made two day trips into the Adirondack Park, not too far of a drive to what we wanted to see. It was hard to leave the beautiful deck overlooking the water!

Summary: This property is unique, i do not think it deserves a bad review by any means but given the chance I don’t think I would rent again. I was disappointed that we did not have access to the top balcony that showed in the picture, and access getting all of our stuff in was difficult with the walkway and stairs. It is an older property by the smell of the musty air that hits you when you open the bedroom house door. The main area (living rm, kitchen, 1/2 bath and small bedroom) was perfect for the amount of people we had, the other building holds three bedrooms and the full bathroom which I would not call a full bathroom, the shower stall is way too small and had mold on the walls. The cleaning is definitely not up to my expectations at all, but everyone does not have the same expectations I guess. There was a kayak and paddle board to use which was nice, but the water was too rough during the day to kayak, which was disappointing, and from a person who experiences vertigo the dock was just too unsteady to use. The sand walk in was nice and convenient. We did have the campground manager yell at my kids and adults that were taking a walk around the campground, that they can only walk on the main road…. we were not made aware of that. And don’t get me started on the spiders! Everywhere…. three bites in the back of my head for a total size of a golf ball, now before anyone gets started on me, I know I was in the Adirondacks, I have stayed at many water properties but have never seen so many spiders inside and out….again it was a unique spot and some may really like it, just for me it was a one and done. The owners replied quickly before and during our stay with any questions and were helpful.

Summary: Me and my adult children, and 2 of my granddaughters spent a wonderful week at this camp. The house was perfect, th he weather was fantastic. But the beach was amazing. My 2 yr old granddaughter is in love with playing in the water. I was able to swim with her because the beach was shallow enough and the sand was so soft. The water is clean and clear. The park next door is so quiet you dont even know there is anyone there. I would highly recommend this camp to anyone looking for a nice peaceful get away. The owners were very good about any communication. They also supply just about everything you need..will stay here again.

Summary: Jon and Jane are terrific, accessible responsive hosts, cmitted to ensuring all our needs were met. This was the first reunion for our family of five (3 adult sons and us 2) since Covid separated us, and the space was perfect in every way: location (literally ON the water...it IS a boathouse, after all), and an easy drive to grocery and restaurants and such in Canton and Potsdam, ~1 miles away, AND easy drive to hiking, waterfalls, peaks, all the ADKs have to offer; space (4 private bedrooms, one of which is very private and in the boathouse, plus 2 more beds if needed, in living room sofa and a walkthrough den); host responsiveness (Jon and Jane answered all our questions quickly, keep the place clean and wonderfully well equipped in all ways).
