Cute Little Camp

This was a cute little place to stay. It's one of the few where you're allowed to have guests join you for a cookout. I grew up in the area, and it's so nice just to be able to have my family up to visit. It was in a quiet neighborhood and just a few minutes to the lake.

Unha

Place was way to small in bedrooms and bathroom. Very very old furniture. Bed was old and way to small for my husband that is 6'1". Bathroom was so small could barley brush your teeth without hitting the walls. Sign up saying not to flush unless went no. 2. Overall place nerds alot of work. We actually checked out 4 days early. Tv reception was in and out. Trash cans were full outside had to wait a week for pickup and had to have them come and cut grass. For the money charged was not impressed.

Updated pictures are needed.

We did check in early, owner did showed up to clean up from previous guests. Overall cleaning is not up to par.We were not told prior to check in that you could not drink the water. Showering left us smelling like sulfer. Current condition of rental is not represented in VRBO post. Pictures must be from a few years ago. Owner was very nice though, he welcomed us with a bottle of wine.

Ideal place for relaxation

My family and I spent 5 glorious days at Dave and Matthew’s cabin at Caroga Lake. It was big enough for all all our family 3 adults, 2 kids and a dog! It was like a fancy camping site: nice hot showers, stove, microwave, indoor bathrooms, fans and even TV and wifi !!!! Dave was quick to reply when we had minor issues in the beginning of the week and all was fixed. Their cabin is within walking distance to the great, quiet and clean Caroga Lake. We all biked to the lake and around the lake daily. We also went to the marina and rented kayaks! The highlight was that our beloved furry family member could swim with us at the lake !!!! We had an amazing time and would certainly recommend anyone who would like peace and quiet to visit this location !

Cozy Cabin Getaway

What a hidden gem! We had everything we were looking for within walking distance (the lake, firewood, dollar general) and a short drive away from hiking spots and ice cream! We will definitely recommend this spot to friends and return for another stay! Thank you Dave and Mark for your hospitality, accommodations, and timely responses.

Graduation Vacation

While it was clean & quaint, we had nothing but bad luck issues..No hot water for 2 days, leaking kitchen sink, mud backed up in the shower, broken water pipe outside, sewage backing up in the yard, and the toilet stopped flushing. We left for our home in Florida after 10 of our 13-day stay. There were repairmen in and out for at least 6 of the 10 days we stayed. We lost valuable time with our family because of all of this. We waited 2 years for this vacation….

Great Location for hiking and water activity

The camp is minutes away from many lakes and hiking trails. State routes 10 and 29A are very close as well and the nearby Dollar General store was so convenient. The camp is comfortable and Dave was very helpful. The passageway from the master bedroom to guest room 1 is dangerously low. A protective piece of foam on the head knocker would have been nice. The camp is challenged by rodents. The owners are clearly working to resolve this and its unfortunate more success wasn't evident during my stay.

Really loved our time at 103 Balsam

Just a great place, fit our wants perfectly, location, location, location. The neighborhood is great, a real neighborhood, and so handy and convenient. A short drive to Campers Corner where you can get fresh and hot donuts at 7 AM every day. Ten miles to Gloversville and a great breakfast at Gloversville Palace Diner or a lunch of pasta fazool. Old time diner with great food. Dave and Mark are very helpful and great hosts. We had a woderfull twoo week stay at the cottage.
