Gifford Lake Guest House is an exclusive lakefront cottage set amidst the serene and wooded beauty of Gifford Lake. Located between Camden and Williamstown, New York, we feature comfortably elegant decor with cedar log furniture so you will feel you are at an Adirondack Mountain home. Relax in our peaceful setting, take a stroll along the wooded path, or watch fish jump and make lazy circles on the water's surface.
Gifford Lake Guest House is the perfect rental choice for vacations, romantic weekend getaways, sports and fishing excursions. The cottage is very clean, updated and well-equipped.
We are the only property located on Gifford Lake, so you will only share the scenery with your hosts, or occasionally the ospreys, deer and springtime loons and our latest addition...the bald eagles!
Bass fishing, canoeing and swimming are just steps from your front door. We are located only 17 miles (20 minutes) from Pulaski, New York, the salmon fishing capital of the Northeast.
We are also located 30 minutes from Sylvan Beach, NY with excellent restaurants, public beach and an amusement park. Within 40 minutes of the Turning Stone Casino, 90 minutes of Old Forge, NY, and the Adirondack Mountains.
See our website for more information and pictures.
