Great ADK Vaca

Loved our time at the Buddy Shack! Excellent & responsive host who left great welcome gifts to make us feel relaxed and ready for vacation. Loved the fire pit, the view of the lake from the deck, exploring the lake on our inflatable kayak, and a quiet spot to enjoy the start of summer. Great place to stay!

The Buddy Shack was immaculate, and we were left loads of little extra touches. Brandon deserves the title of Premier host.We especially liked the little history of the shack that was left as well as the comprehensive information that was in the booklet. It was lovely to sit out on the deck overlooking the lake. The barbecue was in perfect working order. In short, the venue was as described.
