Camp Balsam Old Adirondack camp

Great stay at Camp Balsam! Clean! Everything is clean! Couches are clean and comfy, beds are comfy, kitchens and bathrooms newly redone. Owner is attentive and generous in offering supplies. Cabinets were stocked and saved us a few store trips. It has two bedrooms, so perfect for the smaller families. We jumped in off the dock and had the use of two kayaks; perfect for a short early morning or evening kayak ride! We made a fire every night and stargazed off the dock. Central to both old forge and inlet and close to many great hikes. Really enjoyed sis&bub, Moss Lake mt bald. It was great family timeAnd owner Dan was a great host. My fav spot was the screened in porch where I could read and listen to the loons at night. Beautiful

This is a great place. Kitchen had all the necessities. It’s clean. The screen porch was a highlight. There’s an amazing view of the lake. Even if you don’t bring a boat, the dock is a fine place to swim from or just sit and relax. The owner is super helpful and he knows everything about the area. He helped us launch our boat which was certainly above and beyond. Great guy. This place gets 6/5 stars in my book. Bring some food and a book and just sitting by the lake seems like enough vacation activity. It was also a treat to watch and listen to the loons. They chat quite a bit in the middle of the night. Highly recommend this place.

Beautiful location and cabin.

There is a certain kind of peace here the kind that drifts in with the morning mist and first light through the porch screens and stays with you long after you’ve packed the car.Thank you for sharing this incredible spot. The sunrise over the lake was worth waking up for every single day. The way everything is set up stocked, arranged, cared for made it feel easy to settle in and hard to leave.We spent our time soaking in the stillness, sitting a little longer than usual, and letting the hours unfold slowly (the way they are supposed to at a place like this).Wishing you calm water, good coffee, and mornings as beautiful as the ones we’ve had here.

We had the most wonderful stay at Camp Balsam. The cottage is in immaculate condition and was the perfect size for our family of 4. The cottage was extremely clean and included everything we needed from kitchen supplies to outdoor gear. Daniel was a great host - extremely responsive and thoughtful. We look forward to future stays at Camp Balsam!

Daniel provided everything you could ever need for a rental. The camp is beautiful and has so many nice upgrades, but kept some of the original stuff from the old camp that made it so special. The views are amazing and it was very cozy.

This wase an amazing stay! The location was perfect being right on the water, within a 10-minute drive to some great hiking spots, and Daiker’s restaurant a minute walk away! My wife and I had a great time being here and the kayaks were a nice touch as well. Dan was a great host!

The cabin was great! The remodeling was nicely done but Dan kept some old features of the house. Dan was a very good host. He was there to let us know that if we needed anything that we just had to call him. he offered some places to go as well. We had just gotten married and Dan gave us a card and some champagne that were there when we checked in. Wonderful place to stay! Would definately go back!

This was the perfect getaway vacation. Dan has lovingly restored a classic Adirondack camp on beautiful Fourth Lake. The cabin had everything we needed, and if we mentioned anything else, Dan, who was just up the road, brought it immediately. We loved swimming in the lake, canoeing and kayaking on the boats Dan made available to us, the delightful and informative lake tour on Dan's boat, and just relaxing on the porch or the dock. For when we wanted a taste of civilization, it was great to have Daiker's restaurant and bar, with a balcony overlooking the lake, just steps away. Dan also told us anything we would want to know about all hiking, shopping, and other options in the area. Highly recommended!

As advertised! Great, quiet location right on the lake. Wonderful stay, wonderful host!
