Located on Fern Lake (seven miles from Au Sable Forks), one of the smaller jewels in the Adirondack crown, our spacious lake cottage is uniquely capable of conforming to your custom-designed Adirondack vacation.
Picture windows and a 42 foot deck overlooking the Lake give a nearly unobstructed view of one of the most beautiful Mountain ranges in the area.

We want to thank you for sharing your lakeside retreat with us. We had a wonderful week full of swimming, kayaking and fishing! The kids especially loved the fishing. All three caught several fish that we cooked and ate for dinner. Other highlights included hiking two High Peaks, playing cornhole on the lawn and the 1st annual 2007 Fern Lake Ping Pong Tournament. Your place offered all the comforts of home. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for the wonderful week. The camp is great. Kayaking and fishing wonderful. The kids caught some bass. The week was enjoyed by all. You have a million dollar view. We enjoyed seeing family, friends, fishing, kayaking and the bonfires--and of course, the S'mores. Hope to see you next year!

We all had a blast!Fishing off the wall was great for the kids! They loved taking the "noe" out on the lake also. We're all now Scrabble Masters because of the rain. Thank you!

We had a great time. It was nice to be back up here again. Carrie and the boys hadn't seen anything quite like this before. The boys had a blast fishing and wnet on their first hikes. Hope to see you again and get in some more hikes.

Thanks for a wonderful week! We went out on the lake everyday and enjoyed the firepit and "movie house" in the evenings. You have a lovely home and community. We made many special memories here. I hope we see you next year!

We all had a great time. Many happy memories to add--the children have very fond memories to take with them. It was nice to have a place big enough for all seven of us! Thanks so much.
