Could get use to it!! Lol This was a very secluded quiet property not much craziness going on,in fact enjoyed the quiet very much! Met the owner Brian which he was very cool!! He pretty much does ALOT of the maintaining the property and I can see why he likes being there!! Lol Definitely a place to go for peace and quiet and even on the lake was pretty good!! Not ALOT of people on it!! Thank you!!! 😁 ##### Michelle Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sarah Jul 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities This was disappointing. There is no air conditioning - it was very stuffy and hot. They are focused on motor boats - you can't really get anywhere interesting from here on a canoe. There's a restaurant and bar but prices are on a par with midtown Manhattan. This is a very expensive place and I can't help but wonder if the place we rented was meant for the help or something. There are almost no staff to help you with any issues and it's set up so that you almost never see anyone who works there. There is no daily housecleaning, and extensive chores are required at checkout. Severely understaffed. Do not recommend. ##### Sarah Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 17, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness The location of the resort is stunning.

We stayed in a rustic cabin, which was fine for 2 nights. Parking was next to the cabin so very easy to unload the car. There are kayaks and canoes for guests to use, as well as life jackets available. ##### holly Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### donna Oct 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service The townhouse itself was clean, however, there was laundry in washer, many insects on rugs, (which we vacuumed), and fireplace did not work ##### donna Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bill Nov 26, 2022 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Great place to stay with an amazing view. Could use some better cleaning practices. Cobwebs, leftover lipstick on a wine glass, ect. Otherwise great place to stay and only 15 from lake placid. ##### Bill Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Eugene Dec 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Adirondack retreat! We stayed here for a family vacation and the place was great! I’m sure it’s different in the summer, and definitely a winter oasis. The only downsize was there wasn’t hot water in the shower downstairs it was warm but not scorching your skin hot like my husband likes! the basement where the two bedrooms were was cold but once you put on the space heaters they were cozy. The upstairs king room was “quite the room” and we called it all weekend. Such an Adirondack retreat. We’d love to go back! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9CBA17821D27D53C0309D813A1DE2F35C7B166B61702250148001.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Eugene Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalie Jun 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Our stay at Ampersand Bay was amazing - it was a special pleasure to have such a well tended beach area, with a stocked fire pit for an evening fire and access to canoes, kayaks and paddle boards whenever we wanted to use the water. The quiet and beautiful view were amazing. The cabin was spotlessly clean and well equipped except - no kettle or coffee maker! That was the only thing that was lacking. ##### Natalie Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Mary Aug 22, 2022 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Do not under any circumstances book the Rustic Cottages. Very seedy and need to be shut down. Fairly clean but so run down I’m surprised they pass inspection. Too many issues to list. Maybe the new cottages are ok and the setting is nice but I can’t say anything good about the Rustic Cottages!! ##### Mary Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Junhua Jul 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities the lake view of the property is breathtaking, especially when you work up early in the morning. the location is convenient, 5 minutes to grocery and gas, 10 miles to lake Placid. it’s more quiet. there’s complementary kayaks, paddle board for the kids. Boats for rental is brand new and stuff very friendly. there’s live music on sat afternoon. taking a glass of wine by the lake front with camp fire, while kids playing right at the private, what else can you ask for a vacation? only one downside, the first night we arrived has no hot water. the property stopped by even it was late in the evening and they fixed it early the next morning. there’s steam room inside the main bathroom, so not too bad taking a cold shower. however, the dryer has no heat, so we can’t dry the kids wet clothes. this is the only complaint. otherwise, super good value staying here and much better than the crowded town. I highly recommend it. ##### Junhua ### 8/10 Good #### Tiffany Feb 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed in Herron Townhouse #6 during extreme cold weather. -30 overnight the first night. The wind was strong and we immediately noticed the home was drafty. We used the propane fire place to help heat the house. The twmperature inside barely hit a high of 58. That was surprising since these townhomes were built 15-ish years ago. The townhouse had nice furnishings and plenty of blankets. The overall townhouse was not level. When you walked in the front door and walked straught ahead to the main living space, you had to walk on an incline of a few inches. Then from the main door into the 1st floor bedroom the floors slanted off in that direction. This occurred on the 2nd floor as well. Which messed with my virtigo the first day. This was a negative in our stay, but not a reflection of the staff, cleaniness, or anything else in how we liked the overnight accommodations. We would stay on property again, just not in this particular townhome. ##### Tiffany Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kelly Jul 14, 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The area itself and the lake are very beautiful. We really enjoyed kayaking and canoeing. However, as other reviews have noted, there are definitely some customer service issues. The main page on the website incorrectly claims that all of the rooms are air conditioned. When we arrived, it was an 85° day, and there was only one working fan in the entire three bedroom cabin. I texted and called the office and the after hours line, but never heard back. My husband ended up going out and spending $80 on two fans. The next day I called again several times before I reached someone, and they to put in a window unit for air-conditioning quickly, but it took a lot of work to get ahold of someone. The lake is not really swimmable. My children were able to wade in up to their knees, but after that it was filled with thick black seaweed that came all the way to the surface. We ended up going offsite in order to swim. Many of the amenities on the website were not available. In addition to the air conditioning issue, there were no paddle boards, which were advertised. The website also advertises yoga on the beach, but when I asked the office about it, the woman said she had never heard of it. This is technically a private lake, but on our last day a group of about 60 middle schoolers arrived on a field trip. Because of the size of the beach and limited amenities, we were unable to use the beach at all. ##### Kelly Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Salamanca-Hotels-Seneca-Allegany-Resort-Casino.h2238839.Hotel-Information) > > [Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Placid-Hotels-Golden-Arrow-Lakeside-Resort.h3164.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lake House on Canandaigua](https://www.expedia.ca/Canandaigua-Hotels-The-Lake-House-On-Canandaigua.h49087717.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites Lake Placid](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Placid-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Lake-Placid.h6257605.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Duck Lake Campground](https://www.expedia.ca/Syracuse-Hotels-Duck-Lake-Campground.h12599916.Hotel-Information) > > [1000 Islands Harbor Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Clayton-Hotels-1000-Islands-Harbor-Hotel.h7484927.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Resort Lake George - Adirondack Area by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Lake-George-Turf.h1178.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Lake Placid by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Placid-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Lake-Placid.h26787.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kartrite Resort & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Monticello-Hotels-The-Kartrite-Resort-Indoor-Waterpark.h31681637.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Summit Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Best-Western-Summit-Inn.h5183.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Niagara Falls/Blvd](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Niagara-FallsBlvd.h7532268.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Watertown-Thousand Island by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Watertown-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Watertown-Thousand-Island.h1532633.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [High Peaks Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Placid-Hotels-High-Peaks-Resort.h2163041.Hotel-Information) > > [The Whiteface Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Placid-Hotels-The-Whiteface-Lodge.h1343777.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Plattsburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Plattsburgh-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Plattsburgh.h40554.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Niagara Falls by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Niagara-Falls.h1946351.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites Watertown - 1000 Islands](https://www.expedia.ca/Watertown-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites-Watertown-1000-Islands.h8037.Hotel-Information) > > [Niagara Crossing Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Niagara-Crossing-Hotel-Spa.h11603917.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [Bluff Point Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Plattsburgh-Hotels-Bluff-Point-Golf-Resort.h16037595.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Plattsburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Plattsburgh-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Plattsburgh.h3120.Hotel-Information) > > [The Inn At Holiday Valley](https://www.expedia.ca/Ellicottville-Hotels-The-Inn-At-Holiday-Valley.h2184187.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites Plattsburgh - Morrisonville](https://www.expedia.ca/Plattsburgh-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites-Plattsburgh-Morrisonville.h18189.Hotel-Information) > > [del Lago Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Waterloo-Hotels-Del-Lago-Resort-Casino.h18258309.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites Niagara Falls Blvd USA](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites-Niagara-Falls-Blvd-USA.h20009524.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Plattsburgh by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Plattsburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Plattsburgh.h5588.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Kingston](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingston-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Kingston.h1661941.Hotel-Information)
