Bear creak lodge is the perfect lakeside wood cabin for a family looking to relax and enjoy the water- as long as everyone is ok with quick showers with the one bathroomBut is has surprisingly more space than we thought in the living roomSunsets and sunrises were amazing The lake area was really quiet -almost like we had the place to ourselves for most of the stayWe took advantage of the kayaks, paddle boat and brought our own paddle boards The host was very responsive answering all questions very quickly Bring extra paper goods as there is limited supply provided by the hostCoffee pot and Kuerig availableKitchen is adequate with supplies Wi-Fi is available but only if you are close to the cabin so it’s probably not ideal for someone with remote workWe chose to bring our own linens to save on unnecessary costsSaratogo springs was a quick drive but gets very busy on the weekend so make reservations for dinner or just go to the lakeside restaurant that’s only a 5 min walk away

Beautiful peaceful

Rustic cabin on a quiet lake.

Truly unlike any other place we've ever stayed with stunning full views of the lake, Feels like the middle of "nowhere" if you're looking for an escape (no mobile reception but wifi met our needs). Cabin was well stocked. But.... While we knew it was an old camp cabin that had been updated and therefore had low expectations in terms of luxurious amenities, during our stay it unfortunately was in the 50s at night and the heat didn't work at all (1st night); Robb directed us to turn on breakers so we had a LITTLE heat 2nd night -- the main heat still didn't work (we only had built-in space heaters in bathroom & bedroom that we couldn't safely leave on for very long) so it still was very cold. Also there are no blinds in the bedroom with queen bed so we slept on two singles in other bedroom - but if you have any back issues whatsoever, you won't be comfortable on any of the beds. Btwn the cold & old mattresses we didn't get much sleep. Only reason I gave an overall rating of 3 stars is because 1) it's a gorgeous setting and 2) we didn't have very high expectations for comfort. Had it not been raining and warmer we would have enjoyed canoeing. Robb was very nice to deal with and tried to be helpful.. He even pre-arranged a dogwalker for us which was greatly appreciated! For anyone wanting to try out a magnificent, rare setting, you should inquire with Robb because he has multiple cabins on the lake and some appear to be a little nicer.
