Chris is an excellent and responsive host. Camp Matty really delivered on what we most wanted for our holiday week in Indian Lake…comfortable, cozy, and spacious enough to enjoy time together and still have privacy when one wanted to be alone. There were a few maintenance issues but Chris was super responsive when we brought them to his attention.

Wonderful Location

We love the Adirondacks and this cabin is located in a great spot to enjoy everything they have to offer. The amenities in the cabin were amazing and the owners were easy to work with. This doesn't even compare to our normal camping trips into the adirondacks, I'm sure we will be back in the future.

Ski trip

Our group had a great time. The house was perfect for our group of 7 to have a long weekend to ski Gore. There was plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable, with the main floor living area and the basement family room/bar area. The owner was in contact to make sure all was good. And the hot tub was a bonus after a day of skiingWould definitely recommend for others

The steam shower, hot tub, wood burning stove, and comfy reclining couches were all great features that we enjoyed. All commented on how we'd like to stay here on future visits.

My family and i spent week at Camp Matty. The place was perfect for us and the kids had a blast. From sledding to the hot tub and finishing off the night with a movie by the fire. The location was great within 20 mins of Gore Mountain and right by the town. The Indian Lake Restaurant was also very good. See you next year!

A Fantastic and private getaway~

We loved the place, easy wifi connect, and netflix was an unexpected surprise. It rained the whole time we were there but we didn't mind. There is a wood stove but we didn't need it at all. Chris was easy to work with as well. We can hardly wait until our next girls trip.... we're definitely planning on Camp Matty.

Relaxing stay in mountain retreat

Camp Matty is just like the pictures portray it. The scenery is beautiful. There is a road to take a leisurely stroll before breakfast and after dinner. Trails for all kinds of hikers can be found nearby. Lakes and streams are abundant. Our host, Chris, replied quickly to each and every message. He was very helpful. I can’t recommend Camp Matty enough. We hope to return.

Nice vacation house

This house is very nice, although there are a few things that need work/updating. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds are comfortable. The deck is a great place to relax. The caretaker is very responsive to all questions and concerns. We had an area wide outage during our stay but the generator kicked in and we were never without power. Not only that, the caretaker made sure we had what we needed. This was the perfect place for our family to get away.

Great Place for a Family Getaway

Camp Matty was perfect for us! It was a great place where our family could come together but then gave us each our own private/separate places at night (which is important especially with a 10 month old). We loved how close it was to everything too. From swimming to boating to hiking, everything was right there within minutes. The dogs also loved exploring the yard. Chris was also great! He was quick to respond with any questions or concerns. He was also very clear with instructions and details. We really enjoyed our stay here!!!!

Beautiful location!

We had a week long, four generation family getaway at Camp Matty. The spacious deck and wooded location were perfect. Listening to the birds and frogs and seeing the stars at night was enjoyed by all. The beds were very comfortable and the steam shower was amazing! Chris was very helpful and checked in to make sure everything was going well. Any issues or questions we brought to his attention were dealt with promptly. Nice relaxing feel within the house itself. The kids enjoyed the yard and surrounding woods.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Mar, 2020
Hi Leslie. I’m sorry you had this experience during your stay. It is our goal for all of our guests to have a 5 star experience. We provided you with our direct phone number for any comments or concerns during your stay (as we do for all guests). The only message we received was that there is no exterior garbage cans. We advised you that we do not provide them because of bears and coyotes in the area. We then advised you to take your trash for free to the local dump. Those instructions for our guests are clearly located in our house manual. We do not provide linen service because we have not been able to find a cleaning person in our very remote/rural location that will provide that service. That is why we state in our listing that no linens are provided (only pillows and blankets). It would be un hygienic otherwise. This is our vacation home and we do have some items at the house (and stuff guests left behind). The items are there for everyone to share and enjoy. If they are items that need to be discarded our cleaning person does so. The cabin is less then 5 years old and has many modern amenities such as stainless Internet, tv, stainless steel appliances, hot tub, steam shower, air conditioners etc etc. I think our listing is fairly accurate. If you take the time to read it you will see that many things are listed here to see if the house will suite your needs prior to making a reservation. I always encourage guests to ask questions prior to submitting reservation requests and have/will show the house to guests prior to submitting a reservation request. We believe that our house that sleeps 12 people is a value based bargain price for our area because the house is under 5 years old and the amenities we provide. Almost all our guests agree. I wish you would have contacted me during your stay so I could have reached out to our local caretaker to come on site and help address your issues. We also provided you with a discount on a future stay but we never heard back. Best of luck on your future Homeaway rentals. Thank you for staying with us.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Simmons

Host profile image

Hi. We grew up blue collar camping in a tent with my cousin Matt who passed tragically early in his life. Together we grew to appreciate the great outdoors and fell in love with the Adirondacks. Matt saw the excavator clear the property but never saw the house built. We like to think his spirit is amongst us in the Adirondacks so we rightfully named the property "Camp Matty," in honor of him. We built this house brand new in 2014 for our family to enjoy the beautiful Adirondack Mountains. I drew the prints and did a great deal of the work myself including all the heating and plumbing. We liked the secluded wooded property with the mountains in the background yet the close proximity of being able to walk to town. The snowmobile trail is 1000 feet from the house so we can easily access the trails. We want to share the magic of Camp Matty with you so we can help keep our dream alive.

Why they chose this property

It's brand new built in the summer of 2014, has every modern conviencance or amenity you can imagine and accommodates quite a few people for a vacation and our caretaker is a mile away in case you have a problem.

What makes this property unique

Steam shower, hot tub (special conditions apply), whole house back up generator, radiant floor heat, secluded yet within walkind distance of town and you can connect to the snowmobile trail/cross country trail from the property. We have a beautiful secluded piece of land with a nice big yard for your family.
