Private Camp on 200 feet of lake front

Cabin was very clean and homey. It was a bit cold with just the space heater in living room. We enjoyed the view so much! Especially the sunrise! It was secluded, lots of privacy. And we loved seeing the deer in the yard in the evenings.

We enjoyed our long weekend at the camp. Sadly it was late summer and the water level was very low. The private beach was a mud pit. We were about to use the kayaks, but had to drag them a great distance to launch due to the mud The dogs very much enjoyed running around the big yard, and it was a good spot for stargazing. The nights were cool and the large fire pit was delightful. We brought quite a lot of kitchen items but we were a bit disappointed with the kitchen supplies.

We had a very enjoyable family vacation. Steve was a very informative and receptive host. Both of my kids had a great time on the beach, fishing, and using the theater space in the garage. The yard was clean and open. Perfect for throwing a frisbie around and a water gun fight. Highly recommend visiting the red door.

Good points: 1. The cabin is clean. 2. Sharon, the property manager, was excellent. She was informative when we arrived, but didn’t bother us all week. 3. It’s a pretty quiet location. 4. Fire pits are well built and camp wood is available. 5. Very nice gas grill! Charcoal grill also available. 6. The garage is nice for storing bikes and stuff you don’t want to drag around. 7. Towels, linens, basic kitchen supplies were plentiful and of good quality. 8. Beds and furniture were comfortable. On the downside: 1. The cabin is technically lake front, and you can see the reservoir through the trees from the cabin, but this is not a cabin on a lake. If you have trouble walking and you don’t have a vehicle that can tolerate a little off road driving, you may want to re-consider. 2. There is nothing going on within 20 minutes drive of the cabin. No restaurants, no bike paths, no great fishing, no organized entertainment. 3. Do not mistake this for a fishing cabin just because it’s on a reservoir. We couldn’t attract a single nibble from shore or from the canoe. We tried all of our lures and live bait and nothing. We decided to drive 1:45 hours to Oswego and we caught our limit of Salmon in a few hours. 4. Besides the canoe, there are no boats available for rent on the reservoir. Bring your own or be happy with the canoe for $20 a day. 5. Something lives in the ceiling over the back porch. It is especially noisy at night. 6. Neighbors like fireworks.
