Fabulous rental for extended family getaway

Camp Bearberry was a great place for our 3-generation family of 8 adults + 4 children. We appreciated having bathrooms for each bedroom and the well-stocked kitchen. We made full use of the two porches, spacious dock, yard and direct lake access.The only thing we needed was more sunny days!

Another wonderful visit!

This was our second time renting Camp Bearberry. Everything was great. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. We were able to prepare our meals easily in the kitchen and grill outside. We enjoyed amazing Lake Placid views from the porch and spacious dock. Loved using the kayaks, paddle board, and boat! Only a short drive to Main Street to shop and go out to eat. We’ve rented waterfront properties in Lake Placid for years and this was one of the best lakefront experiences.

Awesome Location

Our growing family thoroughly enjoyed the house, yard, dock, boat, kayaks, and the lake/mountain views. Well stocked kitchen, large screen porch, large open porch, nice bedrooms. The small beach area and yard were great for the grandkids. Anything we seemed to need, was there or the owners got it for us. The owners were responsive and available.

A well maintained classic Adirondack camp

This is a beautiful home. Kathie and Gary are wonderful hosts, providing everything you could need for a getaway. Lake access couldn't be easier. The kitchen has all the pots, pans, flatware and dishware you could possibly need. The fireplace is wonderful. Each bedroom is individual but part of the theme. That theme is classic Adirondack camp, so if that appeals to you, this house can provide a wonderful experience. Highly recommended.

Second time staying at Kathie and Gary's home with my adult family. Just delightful. The home is beautifully decorated for the holidays and the 6 bedrooms, each with a en suite, was perfect for us.

Wonderful Location and Beautiful Home

Having a small immediate family wedding overlooking Lake Placid and Whiteface was so special for Patty and I. Thank you so much Kathie and Gary! Your home is truly special and was perfect for our six adult daughters, spouses, granddaughters and our pups. Everything was well stocked and the perfect size for a comfortable and cozy experience. The kids really appreciated having their own bathrooms. Patty and I jumped in the lake when we got there but quickly got out. Water is a little cold in October. We did have fun kayaking and a loon did swim to us and make that cool sound. Hiking was fun and biking on the new rail trail was great. This is the first time I got home from a vacation and felt sad. Missing the perfect spot, beautiful home and best lake in the Adirondacks already.

Amazing House Right on the Water!

We stayed for my daughters wedding which was held at the Whiteface Club. This house was perfect! Plenty of bedrooms each with its own private full bath. Large dining room table for meals, great kitchen FULLY stocked! I love when there are plenty of dishes and cookware. The front porch and screened in porch with the lake views was spectacular!! Kathie is an amazing host! Very friendly and always available! I felt like we were good friends. Read her book, she has a lot of tips for local eateries and things to do! Definitely want to return to enjoy the beautiful lake!

Annual Family Vacation

Our annual vacation is usually at a beach location. Last year we decided to change it up a bit and selected this house at Lake Placid. We absolutely made the right choice. Camp Bearberry was perfect for us. Kathie and Gary were the perfect hosts, attentive to our every need and quick to respond to our questions. The house had everything we needed and was more than adequate for the 10 people in our group. We thoroughly enjoyed the Lakeside dock/deck, where we spent many hours swimming, boating, and enjoying the incredible view to include Whiteface Mountain. I highly recommend renting their 22 foot pontoon boat, which we used daily to meander around the lake and pull the kids on a large tube. With so much to do around the area any time of year, Lake Placid is the perfect location for a family vacation and Camp Bearberry should be your first choice when deciding where to stay!

Perfect Family Retreat

This home had everything our family needed and more. From the beginning the Owners were easy to communicate with and were available both before and during our stay. The furnishings and beds were very comfortable and clean. The bathrooms that adjoined each bedroom made it easy for the nine of us to relax and spread out. With a well stocked kitchen we were able to make many meals at home... but it was also a quick n easy drive to downtown on other nights. The dock and screened porch made enjoying the lake and views of Whiteface Mountains a daily routine. We will be back again for sure!

Overall the property was perfect for our small family reunion. The rooms were beautiful Adirondack style and the views were wonderful. The host was very responsive and the pre checking information was all very accurate and made our stay easy. There was one small issue that we had that could have been acknoowledged in a more serious way but we were able to work around it. Overall the place was great for our needs. Wonderful that we could have our dog along for the stay! He loved it as well.

College reunion on the lake

We could not have chosen a better site to celebrate our years of friendship. The spacious home had a large dining room and living area with a fireplace, both with views of Lake Placid. The screened porch and dock/deck offered even better lake views. Hiking, water sports and golf at Whiteface Resort kept us busy when not reminiscing. Owners very accommodating.

Amazing on-the-lake experience!!

My family and I have been visiting Lake Placid every summer since 2005. We started renting in 2010 and rented every year since. This was our first year staying at Camp Bearberry. I was a little worried because we had always rented from a local real estate agent and rented some of the homes several years in a row. I decided to branch out using VRBO this time. It was my husband, our two boys (10 and 12), my sister and brother-in-law, my parents, and our Goldendoodle. We were all blown away by Camp Bearberry. The house has old lake charm yet was extremely clean and very comfortable. The house sits right on Lake Placid and the views are amazing. We grilled several nights and ordered in for a couple because there was no reason to go out to eat with a beautiful lake view right in your backyard! We definitely made use of the kayaks and paddle board. The pontoon boat was available (for an extra fee) and it was WELL worth it as we went out on the lake every day! It’s a short drive to Main St if you do want to visit Mirror Lake, the shops, and dinner (our personal go-to’s are Lisa Gs, Smoke Signals, LP Brewery, and Big Slide). Kathie and Gary (the owners) were absolutely amazing. We were able to contact them if we needed something. The entire process from when I first rented through our entire stay was 100% 5-star quality. We highly recommend the home and would absolutely rent this house again!

Beautiful spot for a vacation

My husband and I and our kids and grandkids spent a wonderful week at Camp Bearberry. The house is charming and cozy and the location couldn’t be better. The views of Lake Placid and the mountains from the porch and the dock are breathtaking. I could have easily spent the entire week at the house and I would have been totally content. Kathie, the owner, was in touch with us throughout the week to see if we had any questions or problems and I really appreciated that. Our family made a lot of wonderful memories during our week at Camp Bearberry.

Camp Bearberry was an awesome place to stay in. We were a group of 10, including Kids under 10 and seniors over 70. The property was great for all age groups. Kathie was a great host, checked in at all stages, and provided valuable information for things to do in and around the place.
