Camp Matty was a beautiful and peaceful respite from our busy lives back in Pennsylvania. The large property is well maintained and there was plenty of space for our kids and dog to run around and wear themselves out. The house is cozy yet large enough that all five of us never felt on top of each other. Our favorite way to end the day was gathering in the large living room space on the bottom floor, watching movies from the projector.Our host, Chris, was extremely prompt in responding to our questions and it thoroughly felt like he wanted us to have a wonderful stay. We had a few days of rain, and Chris sent us lots of ideas of things to do in the area on days like that. Also, the lean-to by the fire pit was perfect for having a fire and dodging the rain drops at the same time.Camp Matty is the perfect spot to get away from it all, while being close enough to several towns, hiking and waterfalls. We would highly recommend this cabin and it’s fantastic host!

Chris is an excellent and responsive host. Camp Matty really delivered on what we most wanted for our holiday week in Indian Lake…comfortable, cozy, and spacious enough to enjoy time together and still have privacy when one wanted to be alone. There were a few maintenance issues but Chris was super responsive when we brought them to his attention.

The cabin is in a great spot in the woods. Very dark skies to see the stars. It was very comfortable and plenty of room for a big group. It was a great stay.

A Fantastic and private getaway~

We loved the place, easy wifi connect, and netflix was an unexpected surprise. It rained the whole time we were there but we didn't mind. There is a wood stove but we didn't need it at all. Chris was easy to work with as well. We can hardly wait until our next girls trip.... we're definitely planning on Camp Matty.

A Nightmare! Booked for 7 nights in July for me, my family, 2 pets. Host cancelled the first night due to needing to have some work done there. Said he would refund the 1 night and waive the 80 Hot Tub fee. I agreed. Had to send a few messages before he finally refunded the 1 night. Sent more messages about the 80 and the tax for the cancelled night. He finally SAID he could refund the fee but not the taxes. Got there at 4:30 for a 4:00 check in. Cleaners still there for about 20 more min. The house has many nice features, great location, projection TV, lots of bedrooms, lovely grounds, nice firepit area. The general cleaning had been done but we found several things lacking. Lots of dust on blinds and floors in bedrooms, cookware covered with dried food, dirty grime on the floor next to the tub. The house just needed a good spring cleaning. There were mice in the kitchen, on the counters while we were standing right there. They ran between the fridge, stove and dishwasher. Those things probably need to be cleaned underneath. After vacation, I had to write several more messages about the 80. Host thought it was already included in the 1 night refund. Then he ghosted me. I called VRBO, they refunded me. After calling VRBO, the host sent me a couple very nasty, long, rambling messages. I told him about the mice lack of cleanliness, he sent a longer, nastier note accusing me of not leaving furniture in the right place, saying mice came from leaving the door open. Crazy.

Look at our reviews first please folks. We’ve been hosting for over a decade and every major platform. Kim was an absolute nightmare to deal. She also left our place a mess and full of garbage. I suggest that every host refrain from renting to Kim. Not worth the aggravation.

Relaxing stay in mountain retreat

Camp Matty is just like the pictures portray it. The scenery is beautiful. There is a road to take a leisurely stroll before breakfast and after dinner. Trails for all kinds of hikers can be found nearby. Lakes and streams are abundant. Our host, Chris, replied quickly to each and every message. He was very helpful. I can’t recommend Camp Matty enough. We hope to return.

Nice vacation house

This house is very nice, although there are a few things that need work/updating. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds are comfortable. The deck is a great place to relax. The caretaker is very responsive to all questions and concerns. We had an area wide outage during our stay but the generator kicked in and we were never without power. Not only that, the caretaker made sure we had what we needed. This was the perfect place for our family to get away.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Simmons

Hi. We grew up blue collar camping in a tent with my cousin Matt who passed tragically early in his life. Together we grew to appreciate the great outdoors and fell in love with the Adirondacks. Matt saw the excavator clear the property but never saw the house built. We like to think his spirit is amongst us in the Adirondacks so we rightfully named the property "Camp Matty," in honor of him. We built this house brand new in 2014 for our family to enjoy the beautiful Adirondack Mountains. I drew the prints and did a great deal of the work myself including all the heating and plumbing. We liked the secluded wooded property with the mountains in the background yet the close proximity of being able to walk to town. The snowmobile trail is 1000 feet from the house so we can easily access the trails. We want to share the magic of Camp Matty with you so we can help keep our dream alive.

Why they chose this property

It's brand new built in the summer of 2014, has every modern conviencance or amenity you can imagine and accommodates quite a few people for a vacation and our caretaker is a mile away in case you have a problem.

What makes this property unique

Steam shower, hot tub (special conditions apply), whole house back up generator, radiant floor heat, secluded yet within walkind distance of town and you can connect to the snowmobile trail/cross country trail from the property. We have a beautiful secluded piece of land with a nice big yard for your family.
