HIGHLY RECOMMEND this property to people who appreciate nature and quality family time. What a great week! The house was clean, roomy, comfortable, welcoming and very charming...screened in porch is delightful with breathtaking view of the lake and mountains beyond. We stocked up the fridge in Plattsburgh (20 minutes away), Keesville was 5 minutes away with a small grocery store, churches and ice cream at the gas station :) Ausable chasm was within 5 minutes, we did not find the time to do the chasm experience but visited the small museum there and learned a lot about the underground railroad and anti-slavery movement. The ferry to Vermont is a fun and affordable experience. We spent most of our time right at the camp, we really had no reason to go anywhere as there was plenty to enjoy right there! We enjoyed a walk every morning up the mountain beyond the railroad tracks..kids saw a bald eagles' nest- very cool! Our favorite day was when we took the boat to Schuyler Island (which is easily seen from the camp) and enjoyed a picnic and a very memorable hide and seek game! The camp is off the beaten path, very laid back, quiet and relaxing. No neon lights or hub-bub, really enjoyed the quality family time spent with our 3 kids who rated the week, "ONE OF OUR BEST VACATIONS EVER!!!" The lake swimming is excellent! Water is crystal clear with a nice soft sandy bottom, didn't even need water shoes. It was nice to have access to the boats and all the great water toys. We were thrilled to meet Jonathan, the owner, who was there if we needed any information and even took us on some great hikes, introduced us to wake boarding (lots of smiles there), and geocached with us! Thanks Jonathan, for sharing your family camp with us! You were a great host and we had an awesome time! :)

Owner's Response: Thanks for the great review. It is wonderfull reading about how much fun people have when they are here at the camp. That is what the camp is all about. Hiking, boating and just hanging out on the screened in porch. You guys packed a lot into your week, and there are still things to do! Hopefully you will keep me in mind for next time and you can keep making more great memories here at the camp. Just in from a bike ride so I am off for a swim. Loving life here at the camp, Jonathan
