POSITIVES= the property was clean inside NEGATIVES= property located on busy state hwy and is difficult to cross on weekends and evening traffic, the dock is located across the road and approximately 100 yards done a non-maintained path between other cabins and new a new build house which has dogs and they do NOT leash them. UNACCEPTABLE ACTIONS=The Doorman came on our 2nd day of rental, there were NO cars in the driveway at the time giving the appearance of nobody home and entered the front door of the enclosed screened-in porch, when he got to the inside of the enclosed porch, he made eye contact with my 15 yr old daughter who was sitting on the couch, the Doorman then turned and fled the property. The CNY property gave several excuses as to why he was there and it was stated that he was trying to relay messages, yet there were NO cars there and when he did see a person he turned and fled. Then the excuse of he was leaving Firebricks on the porch, yet he was lurking in the windows. The Screen door on the front porch can NOT be locked due to the door being put on backwards and the lock is on the outside. The rear cabin wooden door can NOT be locked due to the latch would not catch on the door frame no matter what i did. I was able to secure the rear door with my own knowledge making it secure. After this incident and several communications back and forth with the CNY Pr manager who claims the doorman is her brother, we felt this is unsafe and packed and left.
The place was nice. Had some neat older features which was really cool! The manager was great, gave us the info needed, answered questions… The lake is NOT behind the house. You have to cross the road to get to it. The ad made it seem like it was right there. It was a beautiful sight though. Also… read all of the info… if I didn’t, I wouldn’t of known to bring our own towels.
Cabin was nice and cozy with just a few thoughts but not enough to be unhappy about. Just thought I’d comment. No electrical outlets I the bathroom which was inconvenient. Heater in the bathroom was not very adequate for the cold night and morning. Lighting was not very good in the living room. By that I mean it was very very bright! We prefer low lighting. The owner supplied us with firewood that was not very dry but after struggling for some time we were able to light a fire In the fireplace. Kitchen had minimal essentials but we made it work. The front porch was great and the rocking chairs were awesome! The location was great. Overall not a bad place to stay. Just thought I’d share for future guests.
Everything was as we expected. Cute place that checked all the Adx boxes.
Plenty of hot water for showers
Other than the check in process which I found a bit confusing, it was great.
My wife and I stayed for a weekend in August, it was a pretty good place to relax and decompress. Listing is very accurate, and the water access is easy to get there. Couple things that we did notice: * Its right next to a rural road with a 50mph speed limit in the area. Mostly was easy to cross the road, but there were periods where we had to wait a couple minutes to get an opening to cross with a standup paddleboard. * It is next to a rural road, which means car noises. Keeping the doors closed killed the sound, so no problems there, but it is definitely noticeable background noise when on the screened-in porch. It is much less noticeable when outside by the fire pit in the back. * It does smell kind of musty in the evenings, especially close to the floor. The land is fairly damp, and its right next to a stream. Air fresheners are helpful. There were a couple plugged in, but could use some more. * I'm deaf, my wife is hearing, and she could hear mice or squirrels in the roof overhead the bedroom. Not really a big deal, but noticeable if you're a light sleeper. * Internet is available, but is satellite. Thanks for a previous reviewer to give a heads up about the small hot water tank. We avoided any hot water runouts except for one shower with a few minutes of lingering. Overall, this is a pretty minimalistic place: beds, kitchen, shower and a place to relax. Pretty much what we were looking for.
Wonderful camp Very accommodating
We enjoyed the rental. No problems.
This location was awesome having the private dock. The water was so clean and peaceful. It’s also one of the only camps that would allow us to bring all 4 of our dogs. We all had such a blast and would definitely stay here again in the future! Nothing but a positive experience.
Our house was great; we had exactly the quiet and peaceful time we really wanted. We were especially impressed with the shower (thanks to the reviewer who warned that hot water might be limited, we used the water cut off built into the showerhead, and both of us (full sized guys!) had awesome hot showers in the spacious tub! The property manager was very knowledgeable and helpful. Loved the very comfy rockers on the front porch. First time vacationing with a pet, the property was great for him!
