This was the perfect cozy cabin for our winter vacation. It is perfect if you love a private peaceful scene in the woods. About 30 minutes from towns. Very comfortable, and the Mary is incredibly responsive and helpful. We went to towns, ice fishing on the private lake, had ourselves a day catching so many perch, and relaxed by the fire inside. Highly recommend if you like the quietness of the woods and being outdoors as lots of trails and hikes to do as well!
This was our second year vacationing at this cabin, and we absolutely love it! The perfect place to disconnect from reality and enjoy nature. The lake is beautiful, and they offer a variety of boats and floats to enjoy it. Love that our dogs can come along and enjoy it as well. They love it! Looking forward to more visits in the future! Thank you
Great and remote location! Really liked the layout of the cabin, though the outdoor patio and lakeside table were hard to use with the dust. The lake was pretty! It's not swimmable this time of year with the tadpoles.
Everything about this place was perfect my only gripe is it rained 4 days and was cold. Otherwise would have been a perfect vaca
Driveway is a little steep had a little bit of a hard
Time going up it but managed. Wish I knew how far away gas station was could have been in trouble not knowing. Cabin was very clean and rustic. Loved it!!
We enjoyed our stay at the rental. The house was nice and private with views through the trees of Bass Lake. The house was as advertised. The bedrooms had plenty of storage and space. The waterfront was secluded and a great place to spend the day on the lake enjoying the gazebo and fire pit. The kitchen had plenty of pans and the Keurig was great. Only suggestion would be to have more dishes and silverware for mealtime.
Our stay here was absolutely wonderful, we ventured on the lake, did some fishing, very , very relaxing, we had our dog with us, and he had a great time, he even met some local dogs and was great experience, (he’s a schnoodle) just wanna say it was a great time, definitely come back again
We really enjoyed staying at the camp. If you are looking to get away from the city this is a perfect place to stay.
Thank you for the amazing experience!
The property was was really nice and communication was great, my only complaint is there was a lot of clumps of dog hair everywhere other than that we were very pleased
Camp Asulykit was absolutely perfect for a quiet getaway. The house is on a quiet road across from Bass Lake, where we spent time daily either jumping off the floating dock, watching loons, kayaking, or letting our dogs play. The house had everything we needed and is close to some great hiking. We would love to be able to go back someday.
Bass Lake is small but big on beauty and serenity. The waterfront amenities really stood out…a screened gazebo, a swimming dock, canoes and kayaks, a cozy fire pit …and a loon to watch and listen to at night. Hosts very responsive when we had questions…many thanks for the flannel sheets and lots of firewood.
We enjoyed the time we spent here. Did some hiking and adventured into Saranac Lake a couple times. Although the weather wasn’t perfect we relaxed at the lake when we could. Worked on our puzzle and read. It is generally quiet and at night we could hear the loons. It was a great get away to take time out and spend time together.
We look forward to visiting again. soon, in the near future when we're back in the Adirondacks. We felt immediately welcome with the special guess amenities that were left out for us.

Had a relaxing and enjoyable time. It was NOT exactly what we had planned but it had nothing to do with the accommodation. We were there four days. It rained off and on for four days.
A true Adirondack experience. Sweet Adirondack camp with a great small Lake just down the driveway. Enjoyed kayaking in the morning and swimming in the afternoon. Kayaks, canoe, paddle boat, gazebo on the lake, fire pit, everything you need for a wonderful Adirondack experience. Enjoyed loon Lake Mountain hike and of course the Vic. Thanks folks for a wonderful stay.

Rustic Cabin Stay
Easy check in process and very nice property with lake access down the driveway with kayaks/canoe. Cleaning process prior to check in didn't appear to be done well, dirty dishes, heavy dust layer on bedroom floors, and no trash bags. This cabin is truly rustic and will bring you back to the 1960s. Overall a nice stay but could use minor updating and a better cleaning.
This was our third vacation at Mary's wonderful rustic camp. It has everything we want or need. The water area is extremely nice and very private. We spent most of our days fishing, kayaking, having campfires and relaxing by the water. The camp beds are comfortable and everyone slept very good. Having a washer and dryer is a wonderful plus with small children. The only thing we can suggest is possibly placing some solar lights along the driveway. When we walked back to the cabin at night it was very dark and there are no lights to guide the way. Everything else is just right. We are planning to spend another vacation there next summer.
Thank you for having a place for my family to make memories.
Just a note to express our gratitude for a terrific stay at the cabin on Bass Lake. It turns out that every detail was a highly valued treat for the whole family, from the kayaks to the snacks to the fire pit to the dog-friendly environment to the seclusion to the complete kitchen and to the bedroom layout, just to name a few. It could not have been any better than it was. Thank you!
We had a wonderful time at the cabin. There were plenty of stars to see at night, and the cabin suited are needs well. Check-in and checkout was easy, and we were able to do lots of good hiking near the Lake Placid area. The fireplace was great to come back to in the evenings.
The walls/doors of rooms are pretty thin, so there is not an abundance of privacy. The driveway is gravel up a short, steep road. We got up it in a Toyota Prius fine in the fall, but if there had been snow it would've been harder.
Rustic style cabin in an out-of-the way location perfect for getting back to nature. Very nice pond-side area a short walk down the driveway and across the road (only a few cars/day). Good assortment of kayaks, canoe, paddle board to explore the pond. Owner was very responsive to an issue with the stove that was quickly resolved. No cell service but could make WiFi calls once connected. Would have liked to have had a document listing activities in the area (within 30 minute drive), such as hiking trails, parks, public access points on lakes, etc.

About the host
Hosted by Mary Whitney
Owners include a busy Registered Nurse and Carpenter who have three grown children, grandkids and a whole family of fur friends. The property was originally acquired for a quiet get away outside of how busy life can get. We've been provided such a relaxing safe harbor for our family, and in turn would like to share it with others.
Why they chose this property
A perfect true get-a-way while still being close to main activity destinations. This cabin can be whatever you like it to be. A home away from home in the fresh crisp mountain air and blustering views. Mountain, Lake Therapy while still remaining modest at its core.
