Notes: A wonderful & rustic retreat - NOT hotel like accommodations - our family refers to a stay at the camp, sometimes for weeks-on-end, as sophisticated camping - a very basic but relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of the everyday life most of us lead. Screened porch across front of camp overlooking river/valley has six (6) wicker rockers and several occasional tables. Smoking Not Allowed inside camp - porch is OK. Issues to be aware of, especially renters with children, a very high/steep bank in front of camp overlooking river and the proximity to river are potential dangers. Also, poison ivy, insects (mosquitoes, spiders, etc) and other wild critters (non-poisonous snakes, raccoons, skunks, coyote, red fox, porcupine, opossum, deer, bear, etc) are part of the natural environment along the river and care should be taken to keep reasonable distance when observing. Waterfront is rocky - OK for launching small boat/canoe/kayak. (2) single-place kayaks available for rent.

Further details for this vacation cabin rental in Bainbridge, New York

What To Bring:

Leave your stresses at home and bring: a favorite book, camera, sunscreen (and mosquito repellent when outside at dawn or dusk), and, of course, your personal canoe/kayak and/or fishing gear. The river offers excellent fishing - smallmouth bass, walleye pike, rockies, perch and catfish at night. And, fishing where feeder streams empty into the river and the water is clear over gravel, will often yield a brookie or rainbow trout! Also, bring water shoes/aqua socks for foot protection from sharp objects while wading, swimming, tubing, canoeing or kayaking. Renters are free to use 14' aluminum canoe & new 10' Walker Bay Dinghy (rowboat) - an easy dream to row. (2) single place kayaks available to rent. And, come prepared with appropriate clothing for the season – temperatures can range from mid-30’s in early Spring/late Fall, to 70 and over a 100 degrees in the Summer - overnight temps can drop to mid-40’s in late Spring/early Fall.

Bainbridge rental on the Susquehanna River

Review Submitted: October 23, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
My wife and I stayed in this cottage for a week during late July of 2011.
The best part of the cottage was the porch. We spent a lot of time just sitting in yhe rocking chairs looking at the view. Eagles would catch fish out of the river. We also saw herons and listened to a chorus of song birds.
You'll like the guy who owns the cottage. He'll make sure your kitchen is supplied, He'll ask you to leave a deposit, but he gave ours all back to us, even though I pointed out some damage and suggested he keep about twenty-five dollars.
For my wife and I, this was just what we needed. We will probably go back next year. Maybe for longer.

Camp eagle Spirit

Review Submitted: October 25, 2010 Date of Stay: October 2010
The cabin was wonderful, rustic, with just enough modern conveniences.Every thing you need is pretty much there, from zip lock bags to a lobster pot. There are menus for local restaurants and Dick even lets you know which are his favorite. Also info. on local attractions is available.My Wife and Mother Inlaw loved Frog Pond Farm and went there several times.Dick is a great host, checking in with you daily to see if you need anything or do anything for you to make your stay more enjoyable. If you just want to unwind and relax, this is the place to do it. i plan to return next year and have recommended Camp Eagle Spirit to family and friends. Thanks Dick

Great in spite of the weather

Review Submitted: October 4, 2010 Date of Stay: September 2010
Our party of 4 stayed at the camp for one night while we were riding our bikes across New York. The camp was very clean and super comfortable. After an 80 mile ride that day, we enjoyed some great dinner on the screened in porch overlooking the Susquehanna. It would've been great to have more time there but we were out the door early the next morning because of some massive rain. The owner was very accommodating and great to work with. It was a very memorable stop on our 5 day bike tour across New York!

Keep the Spirit

Review Submitted: October 4, 2010 Date of Stay: September 2010
This place is great - all the desired facilities and a brilliant view of the river. Dinner on the porch above the river, or a nice outside fire, a bottle of wine and a few good friends - what more do you need in life? The rooms are clean and we had everything needed.

Perhaps the best part of this place is the owner, Dick, who really wants his guests to have a great time and enjoy the surrounds. Dick filled us in with all the information we needed and he makes the place feel like you're staying at an old family friend's cabin, not at some sterile hotel room. Stay here - you'll like it!

Great place to recharge and reconnect with family!

Review Submitted: July 15, 2010 Date of Stay: June 2010
Our week at Camp Eagle Spirit far exceded our expectations. This is the perfect place to disconnect from the craziness and spend quality time together as a family. Much of our time was spent on the screenporch either eating meals together or playing cards and games or simply relaxing while enjoying the peaceful view. Kayaking, fishing, hiking, and antique hunting were fun adventures. The drive-in movies nearby were a surprise bonus. We have so many happy memories of this vacation. By the third day, our 10-year-old asked if we could come back again next year. A big thank you to Dick for making our stay at the cabin a truely wonderful experience.
