About this property

Peaceful Cottage on the Water ~ Sauna Cabin, Kayaks, SUP Board, Canoe & more!


Plan a summer vacation at our peaceful cottage and go back home refreshed and rejuvenated!

Cottage is located on Boyd Pond - a wonderful place to swim, fish kayak, stand-up paddle board, canoe or just grab a tube and float.

Sit on the deck over looking the water and watch the loons swim past or listen to them make there majestic calls. Sit around a camp fire at night and enjoy roasted marshmallows and quality family time.

Relax and rejuvenate in the separate retreat cabin equipped with cedar sauna!

With Canton and Potsdam approximately 20 minutes away, the opportunities are endless - 3 golf courses (1 mini-golf), 4 Universities, restaurants, galleries! Ottawa and Lake Placid are less than 2 hours away and make a wonderful day trip to visit that museum you have always wanted to see or hike in the Adirondacks (many other great hikes closer to Boyd Pond such as Stone Valley, Lampson Falls, Harper Falls, Huckleberry, Moon & Wolf Lake hike).

Cabin is equipped with all the necessities (inside and out) so that you can relax and enjoy your time away. Enjoy the waterfront or the separate bungalow with cedar sauna!

About the host

Hosted by Teresa

Host profile image
Camp Hemlock is located next door to our camp and when it became available in 2015 my husband and I decided to purchase it as rental property. Boyd Pond is our little slice of paradise and we love to spend time there. We lived and worked in the Canton/Potsdam area for many years but moved to Watertown in 2016 after our youngest child went off to college. My husband and I look forward to welcoming you to Camp Hemlock.

Why they chose this property

Boyd Pond is a small and very quiet place. Motor boats are allowed on the pond but there are many days when the only thing you may see on the water are a couple of kayaks or canoes, maybe a slow cruising pontoon boat and the loons. We ask that our guests respect the peacefulness of this special place.

What makes this property unique

Our sauna retreat cabin make this property extra unique! Go home refresh and rejuvenated!
