Cottage privée avec Waterfront

Our family of five found Camp JOAL To be a perfect getaway. The house is set in the woods, very private, yet a close drive to Saranac Lake and other Adirondack towns. The home was very clean and well equipped with everything a family should need. The large screened in porch was amazing for family time. We enjoyed sitting in the Adirondack chairs by the large fire pit as well. All fire wood provided!! Our favorite memories were listening to the Loons by the water on the private dock and kayaking into Lake Clear. Thank you for sharing your home JoAnne and Alan. Anyone who stays on your lovely property will have found a new home away from home!!!

Cabin accommodated family of 7 easily. Outdoor recreational facilities were excellent. Prime location for canoeing and kayaking.

This is simply a wonderful place if you are looking to experience the Adirondacks. The house was wonderful for me, my wife and 2 young boys. The place is all updated and very clean. The porch is amazing and ideal for family meals and game nights. We fished everyday and caught something every time we went out (be ready for pike if fishing lures). The location is great for visits to Saranac Lake, Lake Placid and Tupper Lake. Lake Clear had a nice public beach that we canoed to one day (takes about an hour). Overall, I can’t say enough good things. Clearly, the cottage is designed for family fun and it did not disappoint. Thanks!

We had a wonderful week visiting with our adult children at Lake Clear. The cabin is on the outlet a short paddle from Lake clear. We swam every day at the beach near where the out let enters the lake. The cabin is close proximity to some great hiking. My husband and I hiked haystack while the kids went and did a few high peaks. We also hiked little Baker Mt. in Saranac lake. There is also some amazing paddling near by. We enjoyed the paddle from church pond to Osgood pond through the canal. Another day we paddled on saint Regis to bog pond and then to bear pond. The portages were short and there are loads of pitcher plants and sundews to see.

There is so much to do and see near by! The cabin has a well equipped kitchen, and a wonderful screened porch. The bed rooms are comfortable and every thing was beautifully clean. There is a really great fire pit outside for evening camp fires. We brought our own boats but had to try the SUP. the camp also provided a canoe and 2 kayaks and a paddle boat. I would recommend this spot its out of the way but near by so much!

My husband and I spent a week at this lovely home/cottage in the woods. It was peaceful, serene, the fishing was terrific, and the birding was even better. The cottage was very clean, welcoming, and well outfitted for outdoor fun and lovely evenings on the back porch. We highly recommend the property if you seek solitude, natural beauty and the outdoors, but enjoy the comforts of home.

The property is well located/situated to nearby town of Saranac, and excellent hiking options and opportunites. It is also convenient to the "VIC" at Paul Smith College, which provides ample opportunities to explore the varied ecosystems that make up the Adirondack region. We highly recommend any and all of the hiking at the VIC.

A truly peaceful and rewarding get-away. Enjoy! We did!
