Perfect Hamilton lake house

We visited for Colgate Parents' Weekend and this was the ideal spot. Plenty of room for three couples; very clean and well organized and very hard to leave the Adirondack chairs, looking out on the changing fall leaves and beautiful lake! Too bad it took us until senior year to find it!

Memory Maker

What a great vacation! The Fritze Camp has it all- views, comfort, peace & quiet, and a rustic feel with modern amenities...we loved every second of our stay and will definitely be going back! During our stay, we walked across the street and had a wonderful dinner at The Hamilton Inn...so convenient and it allowed us to have some cocktails at dinner without the worry of navigating the country roads to get home...perfect! Our kids absolutely LOVED the lake...and so did we...if you have a chance to stay here, don't pass it up!! Laurie is an awesome host--we unfortunately arrived during a heat wave and she offered to reimburse me if I wanted to go out and buy a window A/C unit for one of the bedrooms--we chose not to, but I couldn't believe she offered to do that for us...great host!!

Peaceful lakeside getaway

Lakefront house with tons of charm and character. Minutes from campus but you may not leave for whatever event brings you to Hamilton. A nice blend of classic style and modern amenities (solid WiFi internet, in particular). A real gem!

Wonderful Weekend Getaway

We had a "girls' weekend" at the cottage, and it was a perfect weekend. There were 10 of us, ranging in age from 30 to 70 and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is in perfect condition, and perfectly decorated for a lake house. The kitchen was very well stocked and we had everything we needed. The lake is wonderful and we were able to use the kayak that was there. There's a great fire pit in front of the lake which was the perfect place to spend the evening. The beds are great, and there is no better place to eat dinner than on the screen porch overlooking the lake. We will definitely be back!
