I can't say enough good things about this property, the caretakers and the hosts! We spent 4 wonderful days here with our cousins (4 adults, 4 kids) and had an amazing time. Everything was clean, the caretakers were incredibly helpful and the property/location is gorgeous. We hiked, swam, fished, stargazed, took the boat to Blue Mountain Lake, cooked over the fire, napped in our hammocks, sat by the campfire every night, read books on the dock during the day and played endless rounds of cards.
There are some things that you should know when booking... for starters, you MUST rent a boat of some sort (recommend Burke's Marina in Raquette Lake). This property is only accessible by boat so if you want to get anywhere (including back to your car), you must have a boat. We planned to rent a ski boat but ended up with a pontoon boat and were so glad we did. We even used it as auxiliary outdoor seating for some meals! The caretakers will shuttle you from the parking lot when you first arrive but you'll need your own boat shortly thereafter (Burke's Marina delivers to the dock!)
Also, note that both bathrooms are in separate buildings from the bedrooms. They are wonderful bathrooms -- clean and spacious -- but you have to walk outside to get to them. Additionally, they don't have showers so you can take a bath, use the outdoor shower bags provided or just do what we did... bathe in the lake! It was one of the highlights of the trip for all of us, frankly.
Lastly, make sure you understand the sleeping arrangements. The main house has a separate master bedroom with a big bed. Then there is a twin bed in the main living area with a twin trundle beneath. The separate "bunkie house" was a huge hit with our kids. That is a huge open room with a king bed and two twins that have trundles beneath. So you can split up families between the houses or do what we did and put all of the kids in the bunkie house.
Regina (the owner) was absolutely amazing, I couldn't have asked for a better host!! The caretakers were wonderful and helpful and knowledgeable about everything we could possibly need. If you are looking to truly get away (absolutely ZERO cell service on the property) and enjoy peaceful solitude in an amazing natural setting, this is perfect!! It is rustic so don't expect anything to be super fancy but we all agreed that it was spectacular!! In fact, we're already planning a vacation back there next summer -- but for LONGER!
