Stayed here on a father / son fishing trip to St Lawrence. All we needed was an affordable safe, quiet place to sleep, prepare meals and run some laundry so this met our needs perfectly!

Lakside camping

I personally enjoyef my stay the only downside is bunkhouse didnt have a ceiling fan. No airconditioners but the set up is nice. The water was a bit to choppy for swimming but was beautiful to see in the morning and evenings. There is ample parking and enough yard for my littles to play safely from the road. The owner was pleasant and called to check on us to make sure we settled in good. I would stay here again thankyou!

Rustic Cottage

The cottage was nice, cute and clean great to sleep up to 2 people. The bathhouse was clean a bit cluttered with the water tanks but it was clean. The bunkhouse could have been a better. Garbage was not emptied and some items should have been in a shed not where people slept. The bunk beds were nice but the futon should be replaced. The place had plenty of outside room and was quiet and not real close to neighboring properties or close to the road if you have small children.

Rustic is not the word we chose!

We left our 5 night stay after the first night! The place was filthy, refrigerator dirty, and bathroom building very unclean. Difficulty closing and securing the front door. No outdoor light to the bathroom building. Extremely disappointing.

The sticking front door has been fixed. There is a light on the side of the main cabin which lights the way to the bath house and makes it unnecessary for a light on the front of the bath house. Our cleaning person no-showed. I offered to send someone else out immediately and they declined. The tenants did not read the description of the property so they were surprised when they arrived to find a cabin experience where the bathroom was in a different building than the main cabin. They admitted that they were looking for a hotel like experience (but cheaper). This is not a hotel. The tenants complained about the lake flies which I can’t do anything about. All cabins have been sprayed with pesticide and power washed. There are bugs flying around outside at the lake, that can’t be helped. I also suspect that the tenants noticed that the weather was going to be rainy most of their stay and thus ruined any time they could spend outside on the lake or having campfires. Don’t let them dissuade you from staying. It’s beautiful here! if you read about the accommodations and are prepared for a rustic stay. All other tenants have been delighted!

A waterfront vacation to remember!

"Rustic" is a good word to start with, we are a family who camps so this fit us very well. You should expect bugs and forest creatures to visit you at this location. We saw deer and other wonderful forest life all around us, and we loved our stay. Please remember that the bathroom/shower is not part of the main building. I overlooked that when I booked but that is my fault not the owners. The weather was perfect during our stay and we enjoyed the waterfront, the fire pit and the cabin. When I booked this the map showed it much closer to Dexter than it is, but I loved the area and friendly neighbors. This cabin was great for us and we are very thankful to the owner who was very responsive to our needs. He truly cares about your comfort while you stay here. I stay here again if I am fortunate enough to return to upstate NY. Thank you for everything!
