About this property

Private Lake Retreat with 2 Cabins and Boats Included

Evergreen Camp is a rustic, waterfront Adirondack property made for time together with room to spread out. It sits on Silver Lake, a quiet, private lake shared by a small number of shoreowners, where motorboats aren’t allowed. With two separate cabins right on the water, larger groups can gather together while still having space and privacy throughout their stay.

Spend the day swimming, fishing or paddling on the peaceful lake, with a gradual sandy shoreline where children can easily wade into the water. Come back together for dinner on a screened porch, a game of pool or a fire by the water.

AT A GLANCE

• Sleeps 16 — 8 private bedrooms + 4 bathrooms across 2 cabins
• Pine Bank — 6 bedrooms + 3 bathrooms
• Little Ben — 2 bedrooms + 1 bathroom
• Both cabins — kitchen, screened porch, grill + private dock
• On the water — private, non-motorized lake with good fishing, floating dock + gradual sandy shoreline
• Boats included — 2 canoes, 2 kayaks, rowboat + stand-up paddleboard
• More to enjoy — pool table + access to private trails around Silver Lake
• Property — fully fenced

————————————————————

TWO CABINS, ROOM TO SPREAD OUT

Pine Bank is the larger, historic hunting lodge with 6 bedrooms. There is one king bedroom on the main floor and five bedrooms upstairs: two with queen beds, one with a full bed, one with two twin beds and one with three twin beds. Pine Bank also has a full kitchen, dining and living spaces, TV room, stone fireplace, three bathrooms, a room with a pool table and a screened porch.

Little Ben has 2 bedrooms, one with a king bed and one with two twin beds. It has a galley kitchen, living room, woodstove and screened porch.

Both cabins have big picture windows overlooking the lake, plus their own dock and grill. The two-cabin setup gives larger groups plenty of places to gather without everyone having to share the same space all week.

————————————————————

RUSTIC ADIRONDACK CHARACTER

Evergreen is a rustic, historic Adirondack property rather than a modern resort. Pine Bank was originally built as a seasonal hunting lodge, with Little Ben added later. Wood-paneled rooms, simple furnishings and the well-worn character of cabins designed for summer that have weathered years of below-zero Adirondack winters are all part of the Evergreen experience.

Pine Bank’s third bathroom is on the basement level, with an exterior door closest to the lake, making it convenient for showers after swimming and lake activities. The basement has concrete floors and is also where life jackets and lake gear are stored.

————————————————————

GOOD TO KNOW

• LINENS + LAUNDRY:
Guests bring their own sheets + towels. No laundry on-site; coin laundry is available at the general store down the road.

• ACCESS + MOBILITY:
Little Ben is single-level with a walk-in shower and gradual steps to the dock. Pine Bank has 2 steps to enter, a first-floor king bedroom + walk-in shower, and gradual stairs with a railing down to the lake.

• PETS:
Pets are welcome with prior approval. $100 fee per pet.

• SUMMER STAYS:
Generally rented by the week (Saturday to Saturday) from mid-June through mid-September.

————————————————————

A PLACE TO GATHER, RESPECTFULLY

Evergreen has been the setting for generations of our own family reunions and is especially well suited to families and respectful group getaways. It is not a venue for large parties or events. We ask guests to treat the cabins and lake with care so Evergreen can continue to be enjoyed for years to come.

A property damage policy is required.

Great location but right on the road. Beautiful small lake that is great for swimming, fishing and boating. The property is rustic and needs some upgrades (rust on the refrigerators, water tastes metallic, screen broken, etc.). All that aside we loved our time at the camp and really appreciated having our family reunion there. Beautiful spot. Thankful.

Family vacation with children and grandchildren

Great rustic house and cabin. Plenty of rooms so everyone could get away and have their own space. Short walk down the hill to our private beach and two docks. No TV to distract people, just lots of card games into the night.

Very Rustic

Our family of 11 adults and 1 toddler had an average stay here. PROS: The screened porch and lakefront are very nice. The kitchen is adequately stocked for cooking. There is lots of room for hanging out. CONS: It is quite rustic with two of the bedrooms not having any outlets to plug in lamps, fans, electronics, etc. There is no hot tub. The coin-op laundry is at the general store about 1 mile away, not on-site. The refrigerator in the main cabin needed a thorough cleaning. The listing mentions a few cobwebs but the place could absolutely use a thorough cleaning. We were not impressed with this place. It was more expensive than other rentals we've used and it was just not as nice for the price.

We regret you had problems with your stay. We do not advertise a hot tub or washing machine. E do send out a video walk-through of both cabins so people can understand that the venue lacks some amenities.

The ultimate in relaxing!!

We had our family reunion at Evergreen Camp and it was perfect. Plenty of space and activites for all! Wendy and Bill were very attentive to the details of the cabins and we found both Pine Bank and Little Ben accurate to their description, comfortable and well equipped for cooking, entertainment and sleeping. The lake is so quiet and peaceful, all (from age 2 to 64) had fun swimmimg, boating, and fishing and we even saw Loons. The hiking is family friendly in the area, hiked around Silver Lake, Bear Mountain (in the Cranberry State Park across the street (has a great beach area too)), Tooley Pond, Rainbow Falls and Mt. Arab. The Cranberry Lake Lodge is across the street and has delicious food, and the ice cream shop is in walking distance and was a frequent retreat. A camp store is within a 1/2 mile and has just about anything you'll need and the prices are very fair. Wendy could not have been more helpful with the many questions we bombarded her with, she quickly responded and gave us the infomation we needed and when we had a plumbing problem during our stay it was handled immediately. If you are looking for a relaxing and fun getaway and you can handle a few bugs, this is your place, we highly recommend this property. ENJOY!!

Relaxing lakefront

We stayed at the cabins with our extended family for a week in July. Silver lake is wonderful- it's rare to have an Adirondack lake that is that serene yet very accessible! This is a great place to stay with a large group to get away and get back to basics.

Beautiful secluded lake

My whole family (16 people) rented this property. We were amazed by the location on this beautiful secluded lake. There were many boats to use to explore it and we did a lot of fishing and paddling around it. The floating swim dock was really fun for all ages. We also enjoyed the hike around the lake! The cabins are older but suited being right on the lake. We loved the screened in porch for games at night and the huge window that my elderly grandma sat at all day and watched everyone from above. There were enough beds for everyone and many were very new. We had a plumbing issue during our stay but Wendy was on top of it and sent someone out to fix it. Overall we had a wonderful trip and would love to come back again!

Great Family Property

My family and I (9 Adults, 1 Two Year Old) stayed for a week for our first large family vacation. It was a great property for those who want some lake time and space to sleep. The main areas were a little small for us all to gather comfortably but overall there was lots of different spaces for people to hang out. It was also awesome that this property was doggie friendly, we really appreciated that. This property is tough for anyone with mobility issues as the lake is down a pretty steep hill. They some some nice stairs but it still is tough to navigate. Overall we had a great time and would recommend this property for a family who enjoys the outdoors, boating, and being active!

Hi, Dana, Vey sorry you had some disappointments about our place. We encourage all potential visitors to view the walk-through videos of our cabins and grounds where all the rooms and the ramp-style steps to the lake are shown. If you think we could improve the video, please let me know. We want all of our renters to be fully happy with the camp.

Great Family Reunion

The place was great, we had both cabins which was ideal. If you have a large family gathering, this is the place for you! So many bedrooms, all with comfy beds too and plenty of blankets. There was plenty of room for all of us to eat and play games in the main house when it rained. It was very clean when we arrived and pleasantly surprised to find lots of napkins, paper towels and toilet paper there. Plenty of dishes and it was great to have a dish washer! The screened in porch has an awesome view of the lake and big enough table for several people. We enjoyed the kayaks, canoes, paddleboard and of course the floating dock was a huge bonus! The lake was weed free and nice to walk into water with sandy bottom. Very few people out and we felt like we had the whole lake to ourselves! We had a problem with no hot water, but Wendy called a plumber immediately and it was taken care of within a couple of hours. Our dogs really enjoyed being free to roam the entire property being fenced in. There was plenty of propane tanks for the 2 grills, as well as plenty of firewood, another nice surprise. Nice flat area for corn hole next to Little Ben cabin too. Truly felt like we were staying in someone's home and not just a rental! Thank you.

Beautiful lake

The small private lake makes this special. The homeowners provided kayaks, paddleboards, a canoe and rowboat; we used them all every day. They were very communicative about a small maintenance issue, too. The house is rustic and not isolated, but feels private. Location is great. Thanks!

Great family vacation destination

The camp has just about everything you need to enjoy a stay in ADK. The fishing and swimming in both Silver (smallmouths) and Cranberry (northerns) is great. If you have kids, a visit to the Wild Center in Tupper is a must. The loons are as good as any camp I stayed at in ADK or Canada. This was our 2nd year at this camp and we are looking forward to a 3rd.

Wonderful Relaxing Getaway

Our family spent a blissful week at Pine Bank Cabin. It’s a proper lakefront, Adirondack “camp,” with access to two lakes and plenty of trails for hiking. The house was wonderful to come back to after being on the water all day: well equipped kitchen, plenty of areas for us to be together, yet lots of space to go off for some privacy. The owners were super helpful, with lots of suggestions of activities in the area. We loved the tranquility of the cottage and the surrounding nature. Hope to return next summer. Thank you!

Wow! The perfect place for our family reunion!

An excellent price! Lots of space with an impressively equipped kitchen. TWO beautiful, clean lakes to swim, boat, fish, hike & listening to the loons! We loved making wish boats & doing tie dye too. Count me in for summer 2017.

The perfect relaxing vacation!

This was exactly what we needed. 10 adults and 3 kids swam in the lake, paddled canoes, and caught lots of fish. Having perfect weather is always a bonus. The cabins were very cozy with plenty of room to find a quiet spot when needed. The kitchen was well stocked and there was no need for paper plates, etc. We took several hikes throughout the park and photographed some beautiful waterfalls. Wendy and Bill provided all the info we needed to enjoy our stay. If you want a "rustic" cabin, right on the water of a private lake with no gas motors, this is your place. More excitement is a short drive away in the Tupper Lake area. We will be back!

Thanks, Larry, for your lovely words about our place. So happy your family is coming back this summer!!! Our family will be there in August & plans to try doing the Cranberry Lake 50 hikes (in segments). Some of us will just go canoeing at dawn to hang out with the loons. The Nature Center in Tupper Lake is also on our to-do list. It is supposed to be wonderful!

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Insinger

Host profile image
We first came to Silver Lake with our young family in 1993 and fell in love with the quiet water, surrounding woods and sense of freedom here. Over the years, our extended family has returned for many reunions on the lake, bringing together multiple generations to swim, paddle, hike, share meals and spend time outdoors. Evergreen has become a place our family returns to year after year, and we love sharing that experience with other families and groups.

Why they chose this property

We wanted a place where our family could experience the Adirondacks together: quiet water without motorboats, woods and trails to explore, and plenty of space to gather outdoors. When we had the opportunity to buy historic Evergreen Camp, its two-cabin setup gave our growing family room to be together while still having space to spread out.

What makes this property unique

Evergreen gives larger groups room to gather without being on top of each other. Two separate cabins sit right on a quiet, private lake where motorboats aren’t allowed. Big picture windows and a screened porche overlook the water, so the lake is part of the experience whether you’re outside or in.
