This is a perfect camp for our family!! (8 adults & 5 children) The views can't be beat!! We loved the peace and quiet (except for our "Littles" running around), the screened in extra kitchen so we could spread out and having access to two boats. My grandson loves tubing so that was a must every day!! We used the fire pit and outside games one night -- I thought we would use every night but everyone was so tired from our busy days on the water with fishing and swimming - bedtime was early haha! Comfy beds, plenty of towels, two refrigerators, washer & dryer, and a stocked kitchen made the vacation stress free!! We will definitely return to this special historic camp!Thanks again Camp Undercliff!! Nancy and family

Loving Camp Underhill

In short...this was the best family vacation hands down. I have already recommended Camp Underhill to a friend in California who was looking for something different for their family vacation next year. We have already booked for ourselves for next year.

Beautiful historic ADK camp with sweeping views of whiteface, lake placid and the surrounding mountains! Expansive deck with comfortable lounge and Adirondack chairs accommodates the whole family. The kitchen is well stocked and the outdoor dining area on the screened in porch was a great bonus! In addition to the 2 boats that are provided there is a canoe, 2 kayaks and even fun little paddle boat. Plenty of toys to enjoy the lake! WiFi is weak at best so plan on leaving work at home. The owners are super friendly and made us feel at home. We had an incredible time.

Lake House Visit of a Lifetime

Camp Undercliff is that rare lake house stay that lives up to what you'd imagined, hoped or dreamed about your vacation. Boat-access only made it incredibly special, and beginning the day sitting on the dock or front porch and watching Lake Placid come to life will stay with us all forever, as will firepits, games around the table and yard games. Katie was an outstanding host. Jon was an excellent caretaker. If you're looking for an amazing place to visit with a large group, this is it.

Great outdoor experience, House needs help!

I rated this property a 3 and not lower because we had a blast, with the dock for fishing and swimming, the boat for fishing and tubing, the kayaks, and the beauty of the lake, our family (7 adults and 5 children) had a great time Inspite of the shortcomings of the house. The amenities make this rental, definitely not the house. First I would start off with the positives: we made a Ton of Awesome memories - from spending alot of time gathered around the table in the outside kitchen (eating all our meals and playing games), fishing off the dock (catching Alot of fish), fishing off the boat to swimming off the dock and tubing around the lake. It was a super relaxing week. Now for the cons: We were not impressed with this house. We totally understand that it is a rustic unique rental but it is still in desperate need of upgrades/ repairs and a very very thorough cleaning! We spent 7 hours of our vacation time cleaning the frigs and the grill (of which they should buy a new reliable one) I would not recommend this property and it is Totally not worth the money you are paying for it.

A Mini Adirondack Museum

Our whole family stayed here, 6 adults and 4 teenagers. This camp was plenty big enough to hold us all comfortably. It worked even though we had at least some rain every day we were there. There are 2 big porches and there was actually a really nice place to sit in the boat house. If you have ever been to the Adirondack museum, you'll understand where the title came from. Of course, it was/is a great camp and the character hasn't changed. Every room has an array of adirondack artifacts, including most of the furniture which was in the rustic birchbark/ twig /bentwood style. There is alot of history here. The second screened kitchen was very helpful, as we could do some of our cooking and eating there. There was a BIG firepit with chairs which we were able to use despite the weather. The dock was super, with nice chairs and lounges for sunbathing. And, the fishing was good right off the dock. The grandkids caught a number of nice sized rainbow trout from there. Check-in was easy. We met Jon the caretaker at the marina, and he rode with us on the pontoon boat to the camp and got us oriented. By the way, the pontoon boat was quite nice, as well as the ski boat, which has plenty of power for tubing and watersking. We have always been fans of the 'Daks and Undercliff didn't disappoint.

Forever Wild

Our family of thirteen loved our stay at Camp Undercliff beginning with our short voyage to the camp with our boat piled high with provisions. The house is like a great antlered ship full of history, books, games, memorabilia, and character. It has a well stocked kitchen, plenty of cool nooks and crannies, two great porches for conversation and reading, a lovely screened in dining room and comfortable bedrooms. At night when the boats are in their bays, the silence becomes a presence that we are all missing in our hectic culture. There is no noise pollution. We sat around a fire and listened to silence pierced only by the loon and the owl and the wind. The dock is great and water delightful. We had many an expedition of kayaks, paddle boards and canoes to discover the nooks and crannies of the lake. The speed boat was perfect for water skiing and the pontoon was fun to take out with all of us or for fishing. The kids ran bare foot playing hide and seek for hours through the house and outside. Teenagers put down their phones and one 16 boy learned to play guitar, while the other played a ukulele! We made art using nature only and took a hike laden with moss and mushrooms, fir trees and birch, streams and even a ghost plant. We felt lucky to have found Camp Undercliff.
