Great getaway
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

Private Rustic Gem
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.

Great vacation
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.

Relaxing and serene cabin
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.

Great Adirondack getaway
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 Cabin for a quiet getaway
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.

Great location with lake access
This camp checked all of the boxes for us. Great location allowing us to paddle our Hornbecks on different lakes, almost everyday, short hikes, walking, biking and daily swimming in Bass Lake. Loved the peacefulness and remoteness. After camping kayaking for years, nice to have a comfy bed and a shower. Big fridge, well stocked kitchen, dependable wifi (not robust enough for streaming), screened in porch, many hooks for hanging stuff, and many outlets everywhere. The washer and dryer were great! (Wished the detergent was scent free.) Appreciated the use the garage for our bikes. The location felt very safe for us 2 women. The lake is across the street from the house which I didn't understand until I read the reviews. Just a short walk down the driveway (house is on a hill) and stairs. The pictures are deceiving. Mary was readily available and responsive for questions and concerns. The only criticism is that the camp could use a good cleaning. The shower was really scummy, and the floors could use a hands and knees wash. Baseboards, and surfaces need a good dusting. Also missed a little info booklet about local walks, bike rides, nearest stores, etc. We enjoyed our stay and were grateful we found this camp in a great location!

Great rustic cabin
Cabin was very clean and property was private. We loved how dog friendly it was. Excellent selection of kayaks and other boats. Floating dock could use some work as there are nails sticking out. Would have liked to have one Queen or king bed instead of two twin beds pushed together for couples. Would like a more clear outline of use of Loon lake. Would like better way to contact owner as I sent a message when we got there and it was never answered. If something broke or there was an urgent issue then it would have been a big issue not being able to contact owner. Overall a great Rustic cabin for a quiet week or weekend.

A peaceful place
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.

Very relaxing and fun!!
This camp feels like a cozy, warm and inviting place. We love the size of the rooms and the comfort of the beds. The laundry room is fantastic since we have little ones. The kitchen is well stocked so you only need to bring food. The water area is amazing to say the least. We love fishing off the shore, the amount and variety of boats, the dock to swim to, the gazebo, the firepit and the lawn area for the kids to play. We had a fire every afternoon and evening. We are hooked on Mary's camp and we just booked our summer 2024 third camp stay at this lovely cabin and fantastic water area. It is not modern at all and that is what we love about it. We used to rent a modern camp but it did not feel cozy and it was not comfortable. We found this gem that meets our needs for our family camp trip. The check in and check out are so easy! We are all excited to be there again next year.

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.

What a wonderful weekend we just had at Mary’s. Cozy and comfortable to say the least. With 2 small children I was a little nervous about no TV, but an old fashioned weekend together playing games and having fun was more than we could have asked for. Short trip to Santa’s Village in the North Pole. Perfect. Thank you again for your hospitality!

Short trip
As nurses, my friends and I are nurses have enjoyed taking a long weekend getaway since the start of the pandemic to the ADK. This yr, we chose this cabin based on the pictures. Mary was very responsive with any needs my friends and I asked about, to include having to change our dates for staying due to a death in one of our families. When we arrived after dark so it was a little harder to navigate to the cabin expecting deer surprise of a hard inclined driveway. Thankfully we able to make it up the driveway without too much of an issue due to the vehicle we had. The door was unlocked when we arrived which we found odd. At a first glance the cabin looked very cozy and well loved/lived in. The furniture was obviously well used with some pet hair noted-but we are all animal owners ourselves so we didn’t think much of it. Later that evening, we noticed a mouse run down from the loft area to the kitchen. Again, not that big of a deal to us considering we all have encountered field mice before at our homes living mostly in the country. However, the next morning we noticed just how unsanitary the kitchen was. The cupboards that housed all the dishes and pots/pans had a LARGE amount of mice droppings all over them. All items we used had to be throughly cleaned prior to use. That’s also when we started noticing other things that made the cabin less cozy and more “unclean” of a feeling. There was “fluff” of dust all along the floor boards making it look like sweeping/vacuuming hadn’t happened between guests-the worst being up in the loft bedroom which is carpeted. There were linens found in the dryer that again made it feel like there had been no last minute cleaning between guests. The shower drain had a large amount of hair left in it, which made us feel like we needed to wear socks while showering. And blankets had been left balled up down near the lake. When we went to have a camp fire, there was hardly any wood left. The was approximately 5 halves in the screen in porch, and nothing left inside next to the wood burning stove. Part of the draw we had to this cabin was the statement of the cozy nights next to the wood stove. There was no ax or other means we could find to ensure we had more wood available to us. This cabin has amazing potential, but the amount/feel of lack of cleanliness made us very unlikely to return or suggest this cabin to others like we’d done in the past
