- "Had relax, facility with boat, kayak and swimming at non commercial campground, along river." - "Start off by saying that my son got bit by the owners dog while at the office so watch out for that. For the hot showers they put in the description is just one shower in the cabin that the owners stays at which was weird. No electricity no running water. porta pottys and out houses stunk. The campsites are super small and Rocky so be prepared to trip all over rocks and have a hard time finding a flat spot to put a tent. Canoes and paddle boats are junk not worth using. Paid for 4 nights only stayed 3. Won't be back again"

- "This lovely renovated boathouse delights with gorgeous views of Tupper Lake as well as creature comforts. It was perfect for our group of 4 (2 couples).The Adirondack themed furniture was a cut above in comfort. The kitchen was likewise better equipped than most rentals we have stayed in providing everything needed for preparing meals. We would definitely consider renting The Boathouse for future stays." - "The cabin was the perfect setup for boating. It was great being able to park my boat under the cabin out of the rain and weather. The owner was very accommodating and responded to all our inquiries. The cabin came equipped with all basic necessities, and the decor was quintessential Adirondack style. So much care and detail was put into decorating the cabin, and it made for a truly memorable vacation. Our family enjoyed one full week of boating and fishing on the lake. There is a huge fire pit that our boys used to make s’mores. We took a few trips to town for donuts at the Washboard and ice cream at the Skyline. We loved being on the water, and enjoyed nightly visits from a couple of loons. We made a trip to nearby Blue Mountain Lake to visit the Adirondack museum. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!"

Stayed in 3rd floor bedroom which was very comfortable, loved the moonlight through the window. 3rd Floor bathroom looked recently remodeled, loved the walk in shower. Used the like new Genesis Grill on the deck which was awesome. The only real disappointment was the state of the outdoor deck furniture. With a deck furniture update, at this price point, it would be in my totally awesome category."

Even a high chair for us." - "This is an amazing house/property with a very thoughtful and attentive owner/caretaker. We cannot recommend it enough!

- "This is an amazing house and the pictures don't do it justice! We were celebrating a 90th birthday with 5 family units and 14 people. Walking in the house there was an immediate feeling of one of the old Adirondack 'great' camps. The house is immense and there are different 'wings' so there was privacy for each family unit. Most of the rooms even had sitting areas in addition to a bathroom. On the listing it showed a couple of rooms as a queen and two twins but it was actually a queen room, sitting area and then room with two twins which was perfect for our family that had kids. The kitchen was huge and allowed for many people at one time for food prepping/cooking/cleaning. To have two refrigerators and two dishwashers was amazing!! The game room was filled with so many games and the TV room next to the kitchen had at least a 100 movies! The library room and pool table was a favorite area at night for the adults. So many windows looked out at the lake which was beautiful. There was a nice fire pit and beach area with kayaks also. Craig, the owner, was very helpful with any questions I had and was a pleasure to speak to. I highly recommend this house to a big group- you won't be disappointed!"

Very close to The Wild Center which was the focus of our trip. The home was very clean and comfortable. It was better supplied than my own apartment!

Winter time: The Lake House is on a hill with a considerable driveway and we never know how much snow we're going to get in the winter, so if you are visiting in the winter you will need a Four Wheel Drive Vehicle and boots and/or Yak Trax!

Please CONTACT US with any questions.

Camera (motion activated, no sound) on the front of the house is aimed at the driveway so that we may monitor the snow/condition, safety, and pass-ability of the driveway.

Be advised: This camp is deep in the woods. You may see signs of Moose, mice, bears and bugs. We have hummingbirds just off the back deck, and a chipmunk who comes and visits on the deck. The house is on a hill surrounded by tall trees. If this is too rustic for your style, you may choose a home in a more civilized setting! Most of our guests love it for it's rustic authentic ADK setting, but you must make your decision knowing that this is a rustic forest setting in a beautiful lake community. Also, while your pets are welcome, (and loved) at our home and on our property, they are NOT allowed on community property, particularly at the beach.

- "We had a family gathering, and Bruce's house was perfect for that. Large and comfortable common area and dining area, nice bedrooms and bathrooms. Large screened in back deck, saw lots of hummingbirds feeding on the Bee Balm! Very nice beach area, we used the canoe and kayaks. Bruce is very responsive and generous with his time. Great location for touring some Adirondack highlights." - "Bruce was great to work with. The house was ready for us, and despite a lot of snow just before our arrival, Bruce had the driveway plowed and clean. The driveway is pretty steep so 4wd is recommended in the winter. Cool house with a lot of charm."

Our home was completely renovated in 2023 and close to everything the Adirondacks has to offer.
Why stay in a hotel when you can have a whole house? Our kitchen is fully stocked so you can save a bunch of $$ not going out to eat.

This is a great property and such a welcome destination after a day of exploring and adventuring. " - "The house was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed a number of activities within a 5 minute drive including parks, restaurants, The Wild Center, and breweries. Highly recommend!" - "Spacious and clean. Had everything we needed for the weekend and was on a quiet side street conveniently right off the main road. Could have used some toiletries, but I think we were some of the first guests, so that should be an easy fix going forward. Overall a really nice place and super close to Tupper Lake."

Camp Idylwilde is a year-round home nestled in 4+ secluded acres on the shore of crystal clear Gull Pond. The completely private, winterized cabin has mountain views and is situated on 600 feet of waterfront, surrounded by tall pines. You have to look hard to see signs of other houses or people. The property offers ample space for meandering exploration and quiet solitude. The cabin's open architecture creates a great environment for families to gather together and enjoy the restorative, natural setting of the property.

Gull Pond, known for its pristine water quality, is a private, 1-mile long, glacial lake, near the village of Tupper Lake. It is a non-motorized body of water with excellent fishing and unsurpassed privacy. The lake covers more than 350 acres and is supplied by natural springs with a depth of 75 feet.

In the spring of 2021, the decor was expertly updated with an eclectic and contemporary mix of mid-century modern furniture and location inspired, whimsical art. Every room is a delight with interesting details. There are beds for 10 people, with three comfortable bedrooms and a spacious sleeping loft. The fully appointed kitchen has a island and looks out toward the dining area and great room. The vaulted ceilings allow two stories of windows to flood these areas with light and provide views of the water and leafy green surroundings. Two wood burning stoves in the living areas provide an atmosphere and warmth. The stairs go up to an open sleeping loft, or you can step down into a second family room area, with couches and a flat-screen TV. The entire downstairs is lined with windows looking out to the water and mountains as well as sliding doors providing access to the deck that spans most of the width of the house. Off the great room and adjoining the deck is a comfortable and inviting, screened in porch that you won't want to leave.

Camp Idylwilde is the perfect combination of peaceful Adirondack beauty and access to 4-seasons of recreational activities. Summer activities are endless. Swimming, canoeing, boating, fishing, hiking, mountain climbing, mountain biking - just to name a few. Winter activities include snowmobiling, skiing, snowshoeing, or reading your book by the fire. (PLEASE NOTE: Ice fishing is NOT ALLOWED on Gull Pond) There is a canoe, two kayaks and two paddleboards available. Please note that due to invasive species renters are asked to NOT bring their own boats to Gull Pond. Paddling on Gull Pond is awe-inspiring. You will look up to stunning views of the mountains and peer into the clean, clear water. You can even fish the pond from your paddle boat or just listen for the loons. The foliage in the fall will take your breath away.
