Fabulous rental for extended family getaway

Camp Bearberry was a great place for our 3-generation family of 8 adults + 4 children. We appreciated having bathrooms for each bedroom and the well-stocked kitchen. We made full use of the two porches, spacious dock, yard and direct lake access.The only thing we needed was more sunny days!

Awesome Location

Our growing family thoroughly enjoyed the house, yard, dock, boat, kayaks, and the lake/mountain views. Well stocked kitchen, large screen porch, large open porch, nice bedrooms. The small beach area and yard were great for the grandkids. Anything we seemed to need, was there or the owners got it for us. The owners were responsive and available.

Another wonderful visit!

This was our second time renting Camp Bearberry. Everything was great. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. We were able to prepare our meals easily in the kitchen and grill outside. We enjoyed amazing Lake Placid views from the porch and spacious dock. Loved using the kayaks, paddle board, and boat! Only a short drive to Main Street to shop and go out to eat. We’ve rented waterfront properties in Lake Placid for years and this was one of the best lakefront experiences.

Second time staying at Kathie and Gary's home with my adult family. Just delightful. The home is beautifully decorated for the holidays and the 6 bedrooms, each with a en suite, was perfect for us. Kathie is a lovely host and communications could not have been easier. Look forward to our next stay.

A well maintained classic Adirondack camp

This is a beautiful home. Kathie and Gary are wonderful hosts, providing everything you could need for a getaway. Lake access couldn't be easier. The kitchen has all the pots, pans, flatware and dishware you could possibly need. The fireplace is wonderful. Each bedroom is individual but part of the theme. That theme is classic Adirondack camp, so if that appeals to you, this house can provide a wonderful experience. Highly recommended.

Great Fa.ily Vacation

What an incredible place to stay at. The house is beautiful and perfect for a family with a fully stocked kitchen with every appliance necessary. The yard is incredible right down to the water. You should definitely rent their pontoon boat because it makes the lake even that much nicer. The hosts were wonderful and always available if you had Any questions.. I would highly recommend this property to anyone and we can't wait to go back!

Perfect Family Retreat

This home had everything our family needed and more. From the beginning the Owners were easy to communicate with and were available both before and during our stay. The furnishings and beds were very comfortable and clean. The bathrooms that adjoined each bedroom made it easy for the nine of us to relax and spread out. With a well stocked kitchen we were able to make many meals at home... but it was also a quick n easy drive to downtown on other nights. The dock and screened porch made enjoying the lake and views of Whiteface Mountains a daily routine. We will be back again for sure!

Amazing House Right on the Water!

We stayed for my daughters wedding which was held at the Whiteface Club. This house was perfect! Plenty of bedrooms each with its own private full bath. Large dining room table for meals, great kitchen FULLY stocked! I love when there are plenty of dishes and cookware. The front porch and screened in porch with the lake views was spectacular!! Kathie is an amazing host! Very friendly and always available! I felt like we were good friends. Read her book, she has a lot of tips for local eateries and things to do! Definitely want to return to enjoy the beautiful lake!

Great location and storied property

Our group enjoyed our time this fall at this property. It is right on the water with a dock suitable for enjoying the view and lake. The bedrooms were all different and each had it’s own en suite bath. Despite being a historic property, all modern amenities were there and plenty of supplies usually not available for these type of rentals. Kitchen recently renovated. The owner met us, made sure we were comfortable, and checked on us mid visit. Very relaxing and well-appointed. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.

Annual Family Vacation

Our annual vacation is usually at a beach location. Last year we decided to change it up a bit and selected this house at Lake Placid. We absolutely made the right choice. Camp Bearberry was perfect for us. Kathie and Gary were the perfect hosts, attentive to our every need and quick to respond to our questions. The house had everything we needed and was more than adequate for the 10 people in our group. We thoroughly enjoyed the Lakeside dock/deck, where we spent many hours swimming, boating, and enjoying the incredible view to include Whiteface Mountain. I highly recommend renting their 22 foot pontoon boat, which we used daily to meander around the lake and pull the kids on a large tube. With so much to do around the area any time of year, Lake Placid is the perfect location for a family vacation and Camp Bearberry should be your first choice when deciding where to stay!
