About this property

Adirondack Lakefront - User friendly, great beach, full afternoon sun

This property was fully renovated in 2021 with all new vinyl plank flooring throughout both living rooms and all 3 bedrooms, new locally crafted kitchen cabinetry, new bathroom with fully tiled shower, new ceilings w/ bright LED lighting and a gas fireplace insert.

The camp has a large master bedroom with a fairly new king size bed and two small bedrooms. One with a brand new queen and one with a full bed. There is one central bathroom with a shower. The main living area is open concept, and the living room opens to a well equipped kitchen and dining area. Off of this living area is an additional living room that also has a bunk bed (full on bottom and twin on top) as well as a recliner couch and a futon. With an air mattress (not included) it comfortably sleeps 5-6 kids (one on the couch, 1 on the futon, 2-3 in bunks, and 1 on an air mattress, etc.) At camp level, there is a large fire pit area, grilling area, decent sized yard, and two decks (one in front of camp, the other over-looking the beach at the top of the stairs.) The stairs lead you to a landing where you can access the top of the boathouse, which includes a large deck and "social room" with a bar, and possible additional sleeping area. There is also a pull-out couch. The lake level includes a large sandy beach, 2nd fire pit, two docks, and the boathouse. The property faces northwest and gets FULL AFTERNOON SUN (a substantial benefit that is most often over-looked.) The wood stairs are sturdy and level, but potential renters need to understand that going up & down stairs is required to get to the boathouse and beach levels. This property has excellent swimming. It's about 18" deep at the break wall and gradually gets deeper. It's about 5' deep at the end of the dock, perfect for jumping off the dock. The lake floor is sandy until about 5-6' deep and then it's a lot of pine needles. There's a big wooden float/dock out about 25 feet from shore- it belongs to our neighbors and IS NOT ours, so please don't use it. There is cable TV in the main living room, and a second TV with DVD player (no cable) in the 2nd living room. There is also high speed wifi internet & the password is taped to the refrigerator. There is baseboard heat, but it shouldn't be necessary during summer rental months. There's no AC, but it rarely gets very hot in the camp as there's screened windows you can open on three sides (it typically gets nice and cool at night, even in summer.)

A few random talking points:
- Linens are not provided.
- The garage is locked and off limits as it is used for owner storage. We have close friends as neighbors and they will have access as they have some things in there as well. (THIS DOESN'T APPLY TO WINTER SEASON RENTERS - the 3 car garage/barn will be open for the winter season for sled storage)
- Please don't allow boarding, climbing on, or otherwise fiddling with the barge in the boathouse.
- There is a short window between renters. The camp absolutely must be left as clean or cleaner than it was upon your arrival. We simply don't have the time to do everything required between renters and clean up a messy camp. Given the pandemic situation in 2020, we now have a property manager that quickly goes through the camp between renters to disinfect high touch areas and surfaces with commercial disinfectant. They also do any quick touch-ups that may have been overlooked, HOWEVER, we still must rely on renters to clean thoroughly as the cleaners are there for a short time and must focus on disinfecting.

2023 Rate (Saturday-Saturday only) is $2800. 3 night minimum stay starts one week after Labor Day weekend.
*These rates do not include VRBO fees, refundable damage deposits or damage protection policies (we require one of the two) or a recently imposed 5% county occupancy tax.

A well was drilled in 2018 allowing for four season use. We will not rent by the week in the winter, and will only rent the full season (Jan 1st until the snow melts and trails close) to one party. Owner will have propane full (there is a propane wall heater, a new propane fireplace, and also electric baseboard) and pay cable/phone/wifi. Renter will pay electric and any additional propane beyond the initial 200 gallons (both tanks full) as well as plowing and trash removal if needed/desired. Garage will be available for sled storage (approx 4 sleds... maybe 3... maybe 5?) Don't pay attention to nightly rates on this site. Let's discuss the specifics and I will send you a custom reservation for approval. We are priced below market at only $8,000 for the entire winter season.

Beautiful view and nice area
I would move in tomorrow for my primary house if I could. It is such a beautiful place that feels so peaceful. The house is very modern but a great cabin feel. I would recommend this place to anyone for sure.

Annual family vacation in ADK
Getting into the camp was super easy. Upon arrival, the camp was very clean. It was great to have a spacious living area (kitchen, living room). The fire pit area was very nice. Having two nice, working grills was great! The bar and the boathouse was one of the best spots one the water! We love being out there day and night. We were so excited and glad to be able to be able to bring our dogs. It’s rare to have that option. A few improvements we thought-the ladder to access the water definitely needs to be replaced. It’s broken and is unsafe, more sand needs to be added to the “sandy” beach. Also, the rugs inside the house I would get rid of especially since they can’t be washed. If a washer and dryer could some how be added that would be fantastic!!! The bedroom where you have to walk through another bedroom is somewhat of an inconvenience but not that big of a deal. Overall we really liked this camp.

About the host

Hosted by Kent

Host profile image
I've been on Brantingham Lake since 1982 and have enjoyed it both as a child with my parents, and now as a parent with two children who also now love & cherish our lake weekends.

Why they chose this property

This is our third property on the lake and we understand the potential complications of some seasonal homes. This one is as simple and user-friendly as it gets, allowing you to focus on what's important- time spent enjoying the lake and surrounding area.

What makes this property unique

The funky bar room over the boathouse that faces the exact right direction for picture perfect sunsets.
