ADK Getaway
We loved our stay at the Baker Brook Lodge! The place is absolutely adorable inside and the stream is beautiful. We booked more last minute for a weekend getaway as a base to take our kids to Fort Ticonderoga (a one hour drive from this place) and it was lovely and relaxing. The setup is nice for a family. We found the foam on top of the mattress in the downstairs bedroom to make it the most comfortable of the beds and suggest this for all the beds. The bathroom was very nice. The tv worked great - we used the Roku to log onto our own netflix. The bedroom lighting is a bit dim - but was easily handled - by popping off the lamp shade to read in bed and then popping it back on afterward. We definitely heard a bear across the road - (we're country people) they are very loud being the king of the woods - so we clapped and it didn't pop out. Lots of wild strawberries by the road, and some berries we had never seen before. My 12 and 14 year olds and my husband, self, and dog had no problem going down the slope to play in the creek/stream. It rained while we were there and it was a nice bit of water with jumbo ADK rocks. Lots of great pictures. Had a fire - thank you for providing wood and an axe. Kids found newts in the ring. Saw lots of turkeys and turklets (our made up word for baby turkeys) and deer and a bald eagle. Overall, a fabulous experience and so glad to be able to take our dog. Duke had a good time too.
