Another wonderful week at this beautiful camp! The house is large and comfortable, and clearly has been well loved and enjoyed through many generations. And the boathouse is a gem, with several boats, a bed, a refrigerator, and toys for the children. We love this place and can't wait to return!

Great week away from it all!

Lovely week at Bishop’s Camp. Liz was great and her caretaker, Calvin, was very helpful. Rustic but absolutely perfect for our family and dog. Would come again!

Wonderful historic camp retreat

The property is very nice and the pictures don't do it justice. Very relaxing environment, both inside the camp and down at the boathouse. Wonderful wrap around porch in which to enjoy morning coffee, or even better down on the dock. Full size washer/dryer was wonderful. Overall, a very relaxing environment in which to spend time with family.

Beautiful old Adirondack camp

Our family of 6 adults and 2 children really enjoyed our stay. The house is spacious and well appointed. Being older, it’s somewhat dark inside, but it has a wonderful wrap-around porch which was great for reading, playing games, sharing meals, etc. Access to the lake is across a little-traveled road. Fabulous large boathouse with everything you could want — including a refrigerator!

Genuine Adirondack Experience

We loved this property. It was not only an authentic Adirondack camp, but is also a piece of history making it even more special. I would describe the home as rustic with a lot of character and clearly enjoyed by present and past owners for more than 100 years. We spent a lot of our time at the boathouse enjoying the beautiful view of the lake and mountains with our morning coffee and evening beer. The canoe and small motor boat were a nice touch, and we brought our own paddle boards as well. It was a great week and a successful birthday trip for my neice.

The perfect family getaway!

We had an absolutely idyllic time at this beautiful place. Perfect spot right on beautiful lake Chateaugay, lots of fun in the boat house! Very comfortable beds and lots of of nice generous personal touches. We especially appreciate how welcome our dog was and we will definitely be back!
