Mike S
Cornwall, CanadaA Wonderful Retreat
Left on 12/27/2012 for a stay in December 2012
My wife and I stayed here over the Christmas break.
We wanted a quiet getaway and a chance to unwind. We were not disappointed.
The cottage itself was warm and welcoming, but the Christmas tree, decorations, and fresh poinsettias that greeted us really set the tone.
The surroundings were rustic, charming, and very clean.
All of the amenities we needed were present and in good supply.
Being winter, we didn't get a chance to appreciate the beautiful lake, but we took some pleasant walks through the snow-covered woods.
Of course, we took advantage of the hot tub!
The property wasn't quite as secluded as we'd envisioned, and the lake access looked like it is across the road between two other properties, but once we settled in, it didn't bother us a bit.
Slow days spent reading books and watching movies...
Evenings cooking dinner and stoking the fire...
It was a perfect way to spend the holidays! -

Albany, New YorkRelaxing Week on Quiet Lake
Left on 08/06/2012 for a stay in August 2012
The house was clean, and as advertised. Living room is a great space, and the kitchen is easy to work in. Kids loved the hammocks. It is across the dirt street from the lake - can easily see lake from the front porch. Private dock is between two other houses that sit on the lake. Bedrooms and bathroom are small but functional.
A few notes.
1) Yes, you can hear the Northway when on the lake, but we didn't find it to be bothersome. It bothered me more when boating over by the summer camps, which are a good distance from the cottage.
2) There are some weeds in the lake (a worry in most adirondack lakes) but it wasn't a big problem.. There is a great place to swim off an island directly in front of the cottage, about 300 yards off shore. My wife and kids swam to and from the island every day while I rowed the boat for safety. Bring your fishing stuff to the island - My kids caught bluegill and perch there. Renata has some poles there - bring some worms and some extra hooks/tackle.
3) The lake was surprisingly quiet despite it being high season. There was some water sking, but not very much - there is no public access to the lake, and most people had small boats or canoes/kayaks. The lake itself does not have that many cottages on it - despite the Northway, we felt very much like we were in the mountains. There are 2 very nice bikes, a rowboat and a big canoe (fiberclass, heavy and sturdy).
4) Just a note to tall people - One of the bedrooms and walkthrough areas has a 6 foot ceiling.
5) Plattsburgh and Burlington were surprisingly easy to get to. We highly recommend the Himalaya restaurant in Plattsburgh. Its a Tibetan/Bhutanese place run by a couple who used to have high powered jobs in NYC. Great people and delicious food. Try the Moma's (steamed dumplings).
6) Poke-o-Moonshine is a great hike (the views are awesome) , but very steep (1200 ft over 1.2 miles). You can go up a more gradual path - its starting place is a mile past the campground on route 9. -

Left on 02/21/2012 for a stay in February 2012
My wife and I found this little place to be very quiet and comfortable. We unfortuntely went at a time of year that had no snow. But we still enjoyed the lovely fireplace and hottub.
Thanks to Renata, we will not forget the professional way in which she treated us. -

Apalachin, NYBeautiful, cozy place that is close to many fun attractions!
Left on 11/28/2011 for a stay in November 2011
The house was beautiful! We felt right at home the moment we walked in the door! Very cozy and warm feeling! The home decor was gorgeous and we loved the wood stove! Kept the whole house warm on the cold nights! We had everything we needed from clean towels to pots and pans! Everything was provided and we were even able to do laundry! The hot tub was amazing! We used it every night (even in the rain!!) It is close to so many different things! We found a Walmart about 15 minutes away, im Plattsburgh, which also has a lot of great attractions if you're into history! Also close to ausable Chasm, Poke-O-Moonshine Mountain and so much more! We had a wonderful time and recommend it to everyone! We will be going back!!

stony brook, nyRelaxing
Left on 07/18/2011 for a stay in July 2011
We have rented many times throughout the adirondaks on various lakes. I can honestly say that this home was absolutely lovely. Immaculate, well equipped, charming,attention to detail, comfortable and cozy. Our only comment to future travelers would be that the house is not directly on the lake and the nearest town of Keesville is extremely small with few amenities. Also, we cooked in most meals because there are really no good restaurants nearby. On the other hand, you can drive and or take the ferry to alot of other locations for shopping, dining, etc. Also, if you are interested in hiking the high peaks, which we were, this property is well located.

Syracuse, NYCozy and Eclectic Getaway
Left on 05/04/2011 for a stay in April 2011
My boyfriend and I needed a getaway and stumbled upon Pocomoonshine Camp. Like most, our day to day life is hectic and we wanted out! After a beautiful drive through the adirondacks we arrived at this cozy camp tucked away in the woods, adjacent to auger Lake. We spent 4 days without our phones, without TV (although available we never turned it on), and simply relaxed. Enjoying each other and our surroundings. The camp was full of charm. Camp-like and at the same time mixed with an eclectic decor. The kitchen had everything we needed, the wood stove kept us warm and the hot tub soothed aches and pains. It was hard to leave but discussing an annual tradition of returning to the camp made it bearable.
