Camp Cardinal was the perfect location for our family trip. Location was close to Lake Placid and Saranac Lake. Bonus, brewery right down the road. Recommend ride from Bloomingdale to Whiteface. Nice scenic ride. House has everything you could need. Heated floors keep you nice and warm.
We stayed as a group of 9 (+ 2 dogs) over the holidays and this space fit us perfectly without feeling crowded. Great kitchen for preparing family meals. The hot tub is well maintained with good jets. Foosball and table tennis in the games area downstairs were a hit. Nice views from the property, which is pretty far from anything by foot, but that's part of the appeal. Reasonable drive (~20 min) to Saranac lake, <40 min to Adk Loj. This is a lovely holiday property!
Spectacular home nestled around a private wooded area. Everything was perfect for our girlfriend's getaway weekend. The home is well furnished, and kitchen fully equipped with all that you will need. Added outdoor hot tub was perfect to relax in, master bedroom's jacuzzi and dbl sinks were very nice too! The home was very clean and hosts Richard and Jocelyn were very accommodating! Always responded to our questions right away! After snowing a couple days, they had driveway and deck cleared off...even the hot tub : ) I would highly recommend renting this beautiful getaway : )
We stayed at Camp Cardinal for the 2024 Solar Eclipse and our first ever multigenerational family trip. The Camp could not have been more perfect for our purposes. The camp was well appointed, decor was lovely, the space clean. We enjoyed the fire pit for s’mores, the hot tub, and the kitchen and large dining table for many family meals. We especially appreciated the ramp up to the main floor, which provided easier access into the space for one grandma who uses a walker. The water pressure was phenomenal and everyone raved about their luxe showers! We’ve been visiting the High Peaks for nearly 20 years, and we look forward to returning to Camp Cardinal in the future. It was the perfect place to convince our hotel-oriented parents that a house stay is the best way to travel!
We always enjoy the stay! ADK lodge is a fan favorite with our work crew… the ping pong, the hot tub, and the relaxing atmosphere! Clean and well planned.
Couldn’t have been happier with our stay. My father, wife, two daughters, and our puppy spent a week in this fantastic getaway that is just minutes away from great fishing and hiking. The owners were wonderful and helpful people who’s personal touches for our family really made our arrival feel special.
If you’re looking for a quiet getaway with a spacious home that’s friendly to families with pets, look no further. You’ve found it.
The house was as described. Clean, well-appointed. Hot tub was great. Owners were quick to address any issue or answer questions. Great family get away.
Hot tub! Ping-pong tournaments, campfires, good beds!
We needed lodging for our work crew for a work project and this beautiful home did not disappoint! Our friendly crew loved finishing each day with a soak in the hot tub and serious ping pong rallies. So much laughter and plenty of space for all! Clean and comfy! We will be back! It was a delight. Thank you!
We went to Camp Cardinal in the summer. It’s a beautiful and luxurious cottage that has all the amenities and is close to whatever you might want to do in the Adirondacks. Richard and Jocelyn were very quick to reply to any questions or needs we had. The property was very clean and comfortable, and our responsibilities as guests were quite reasonable. Thank you for a great vacation!
Peaceful, clean, beautifl and well-appointed getaway, highly recommend
Camp Cardinal was a beautiful, well-appointed and peaceful getaway for our family. Our family of 6 include children ranging in age from young adults to teenagers. We all found the home provided personal space as well as ample room for gathering as a group. Very clean, bathrooms were great, particularly the master bath. Other than food and drinks, it had everything we needed and wanted already provided. Jocelyn responded quickly to any questions we had about the property and the traveler book provided links and suggestions about activities year-round. There's no central air, but 3 portable AC units cooled the home down when needed. One portable unit was already installed when we arrived. The other two took less than 5 minutes (tops) to install. We have done it before, so we knew what to do, but it's not complicated even if you've never installed one before. Internet speed w/6 media-heavy users plus streaming in the evening for a movie night never lagged or dropped connection. Very easy to find. GPS directions took us right to the house. This was helpful for the grocery delivery drivers (Instacart) to drop off groceries after we arrived.
We've stayed in many rentals from Maine to Maui. Camp Cardinal ranks among the best. Perfect surroundings, home and hosts. Highly recommending it to friends and family. Would love to return.
Lovely, clean house, in a quiet location. Our hosts provided everything you might need and the hot tub was a delight. Beds super comfortable and kitchen very well equipped. Very much enjoyed our stay.
We had a great stay at Camp Cardinal. The views were outstanding and the house had plenty of room! We enjoyed sledding in the front yard, snowshoeing around the property, and nights relaxing in the hot tub. We can’t wait to come back!
We gathered with our adult daughters and son in law. House was roomy, clean and the picture window view was fabulous. The kitchen was spacious and gave room for all of us to cook meals together. On the sub-zero nights, the outdoor hot tub was the most memorable after a day of cross country skiing ..Jocelyn was very attentive to our needs and available by phone or text.. Hope to return.
The house is Beautiful. Very clean, fully stocked. Everything as described. A little bit of a ride to Whiteface, about 40 minutes. Enjoyed the peace and quiet.
