Cozy and beautiful view & rowing boat VS not so clean, smelly water & no view from the inside
Cozy and beautiful view & rowing boat VS not so clean, smelly water & no view from the inside
When we arrived there was sand everywhere. The owner after I told him did his best to get rid of it, but of course couldn't to everything of course in the shortness of time, so we had to wash every dish before we used them. But the owner was happy for us to leave one day early, so that's definitive a bonus, and helped us a LOT with the rowing boat.
+ absolutely marvelous view from the dock - loved to eat there
- when the weather is poor no view of the lake from inside the CABIN (and the tiny cabin neither) (it doesn't say here that i would have a view, but it's still something I missed).
+ very cozy and nice furnished rooms
- but were not as clean as they should be (apart from the sand as well) (some things just a bit greasy)
+ free rowing boat
+ friendly, helpful and considerate owner who is always there
- water smells because of sulfur (owner is of course not responsible for that)
What I would do if I was the owner:
* change cleaning staff and make sure everything gets a basic deep cleaning 3 times a year
* add a window into the lakeside wall
* add a water filter
that would make my low 3 star rating a excellent 5 star rating.

Tiny Cabin - cozy and well maintained property
My boyfriend and I wanted to do a little get away and I found the Great Camp and loved the pictures of the tiny cabin. I did see a previous review about the RV toilet, but thought it would be fine as I've grown up vacationing in RVs. The cabin itself is very unique, clean, and well put together. It has everything you need. The way its set up and built is very clever and very interesting to stay in. I appreciated the workmanship in it (as my Dad is a contractor) and it was very cozy to stay in. However, as I thought the toilet was an RV toilet, and it was going to a tank below like an RV, I was mistaken. It filled up in the first night and when I used it in the morning, it was filled to the top. I thought something was clogged in there thinking it was like an RV toilet, but when the owner came to 'fix' it, he essentially came to take it out and empty it. It was a unit all in itself, just like a minature 2 foot tall port-a-potty. Unfortunately it was so full, when he took it out it did leak on the carpet, and dripped everywhere as he took it out like a suitcase. He did say he plans on putting a better toilet in there next year, and if thats the case I'd say this place is a great place to stay. The property is very well maintained, very cute, the lake is beautiful and so is the dock, but I was a little disappointed that we did not have a lake front view. The tiny cabin is situated up in the front of the property, next to the driveway facing the road. However, they did have a nice fire pit, grill and picnic table outside of it. We enjoyed sitting on the dock immensely, and there are fantastic biking/hiking trials in the Point Au Roche state park a few miles away. Also, the owner was very accomodating, directed us to a great family restaurant nearby that had delicious trout, and was always there to help if we needed him. Overall, it was a nice couple of days. I suggest the other bigger cabins he has for rent that are more like a house and looked very nice inside. But if you'd like to try something different, and are used to RVs, the tiny cabin is a nice experience.

Owner's Response: Thank you so much for the input. The toilet in the tiny cabin has been its only problem. We did you a big dis-service by not explaining this new electric model properly. It works differently than many RV toilets as it gets 25 to 40 flushes if used as the manufacturer suggests. We have printed directions for the toilet and now have them on the Dinette Table, We will also make sure to demonstrate the flush mechanism to each new visitor. Again thanks for your feedback, only by the input from our guests can we improve so we give everyone a good experience here.
Thank you for your comments about the quality of the tiny cabin and the other cabins, we really appreciate it.

We love it here.
We found the cabin so comfortable. There is so much to do, Oh, the beautiful sunsets from the dock, the hiking at the state park, only 2 miles away was great. This is truly an unexpectedly nice place to stay. Everything they said they had was true. We will plan to visit again.

absolutely the best sunsets in upstate ny! great location for outdoor lovers
I have been to great camp 310 in both summer and fall...we loved the location because it is a western facing property and has beautiful sunsets. In addition, the canoes are great for exploring the marsh and beaver dams at the end of the bay-the kids loved that! The water is so clear you can see to the bottom...we also really enjoyed hiking the adirondacks both in the summer and call-occasionally we play golf at bluff point too! What an awesome location for outdoor play! Most of the places we have stayed in in the adirondacks have been relatively rustic, so the accommodations have been totally do-able for us! We have come to really enjoy it here and will come back!

This was awful!!!
Any rating worse than poor would have been selected.
As another party stated the bathroom was so small, in truth, you had to go to an area restruant to do your business. We were told that it had air when it did not, we had to empty the water from the dehumidifier every 3 hours, day and night to have any slight relief from the heat. We booked one week and only could stay two nights. The owner would not refund any portion of the balance of the charges.
You could not swim or fish without scum attached to you line or body.

Owner's Response: We have a Tiny Cabin which all of you will see is clearly shown and described as TINY. It is only 128 square feet with a very small bathroom. It has a 36" x 36" house shower with a RV toilet in a space 36" x 60". Yes it is small, it is not for every one. If you have questions please call us at our listed number, we will try to make sure you fully understand what it is. If you have any other questions on Tiny Houses, we suggest a web search of TINY HOUSES or SMALL HOUSES, there are numerous web sites on them. They are a new, greener, ls a less expensive idea that is not for everybody.
The other Cabins are full size and have standard size Bathrooms and Window Air Conditioners.
We are sure that you will enjoy Lake Champlain ( on which we are located), a jewel of a lake, located between New York and Vermont. It is great to Kayak, Canoe, Peddle, Row, Sail and Fish on, andto Swim in. Our beach is a natural and clean lake beach which is usually available for swimming from late June on. We do not have a pool.

We enjoyed our Fall week leaf peeping here at the Cabin.
We enjoyed our stay. The Pictures and description were very accurate in describing the Cabin. Except for no dishwasher, the kitchen had absolutely everything you could want.
We would highly recommend this property and will come back next summer to canoe and kayak.

This place is a complete dump
It is tiny, really tiny. You can't even sit on the toilet - have to do it sideways. You don't really get to be on the water, but rather on the side. The owner is always there. By far the worst place I ever stayed at.
Much better/bigger places can be found in the area at same or lower price.

Owner's Response: You will find this an inacurate review from a customer who we have been trying to get to pay for doing over $1000.00 damage to our boatlift. They used a boat with 1000 pounds more weight than the capacity we stated for the lift. To this date he has not paid the damages and he claims that the manufacturers listed weight is wrong. Note the review came over 1 year after the stay.
He is the reason we no longer offer a lift (it was a free amenity). We now offer only free daytime dockage.
The Cabin he is refurring to is 1 Bedroom w/closet, queen bed, and TV/DVD; 1 bath that you can definately sit comfortably on even if you are 6' 2" tall, Vanity and Full size Shower, Living - Dining Room (Convertable sofa, HDTV, DVD, AC and Dining Table with 4 Chairs), It has a Full Size Kitchen with Top Freezer Refrigerator, 30" over the range microwave w/hood, 4 burner gas range with oven, double bowl stainless steel sink, 14 lin ft of nice oak cabinets. The Kitchen also has a washer dryer mounted in a tall oak cabinet. The Outside has a private patio with direct lake view and 1/2 round canopy. We recommend this for 2 Adults and 1 Teen or 2 small children. They had 2 teans over 15, the sofa bed is a double.
We are confident you will enjoy our Camp, just remember we are very accurately describing the size.

May 2010 7 day visit (Alabama guests)
The owner's were very nice and hospitable. The facilities had all the advertised amenities. The owner quickly responded to all questions.
I would recommend a few updates:
A) While it was adequate, a deep initial cleaning would have made a more favorable impression.
B) Monthly insect spraying to keep the NY spiders out
C) A notebook to explain all the cabins features such as bikes, boats, cabin options (storage bins under bed, trash receptacle, dining room table operation, etc...)

Owner's Response: Thank you for your input. We have completed today a guide of our facilities abd our amenities.
We regret that the Boathouse was not fine tuned in preparation for your visit but you had reserved the Cabin and it had been fine tuned prior to your arrival. We were happy to let you have the 2 bedroom instead of the reserved one bedroom, we should have made it clear that the Boathouse had not been completely prepared for a traveler before your visit.
We enjoyed interacting with you and your family and hope you come back on your next trip up here.
