Companies talk these days about "exceeding expectations" but rarely achieve it. Doug's wonderful camp did just that - we were blown away. The photos don't do it justice. The beautiful great room has high ceilings and picture windows that make you feel like the lake is right in your living room. Every comfort of home was available, every nuance thought of: State of the art washer and dryer, dishwasher, not just one fridge but an extra one in the garage, granite countertops, an immense kitchen island that we all seemed to congregate around and was great for our Saturday night poker game. Most rental camps have sparsely furnished kitchens but this one had everything. Nice pots and pans, all the utensils you'd have at home, dishes and glassware galore.
But most importantly, the camp was right on the water. There was a private dock as well as a sandy bottom to enter the water in. And the water itself was clean and warm (as warm as it ever gets in CNY!) We never saw neighbors directly to the left or right so it was like having a little corner of the lake all to ourselves. There were kayaks and life preservers, a ping pong table, and various games and puzzles. Finally, Doug and his sister were the best kind of hosts -immediately responsive when you needed something, but unintrusive and welcoming.
Can't wait to book our stay next year!
