Our stay at "Camp Brindley" was fantastic! The house and property are spacious, well-kept, clean, and quite private. The house is positioned on a private peninsula, perched on a hill overlooking the lake. Our group of 13 were more than comfortable inside the spacious living areas and bedrooms. The master suite is absolutely huge! There were toys for the kids, plenty of dvd movies, games, and books to keep us entertained during the week. Prior reviews stated no air conditioning in the main living areas, but the house did have air conditioning in all bedrooms (except the two basement bedrooms) and in the main living areas.The lakefront was beautiful and the water was clean enough that our kids would swim, though some areas of the lake looked to have algae blooms. At the end of the dock is deep water (8 feet deep) that was perfect for jumping in for a swim or launching a boat. Near the shore is shallower water that was perfect for fishing and our kids caught tons of fish throughout the week. We enjoyed seeing and hearing lots of wildlife including many Loons, a bald eagle, chipmunks and deer. The stars at night were pretty great as well, and a nearby firepit enabled us to stargaze on chilly nightsThe house was a great launching point for several activities, including the nearby Adirondack Experience Museum (30min), Great Escape (1hr), Boat rentals on various lakes (10-30 min), Gore Mountain, etc. We are already considering booking our next stay with Gil and Camp Brindley!
