We have been staying here for many years and were sad to find some of the changes that have been made. All of shade trees have been removed from the cabin area (Cherry, Fern and Alder) so when its 90 plus every day there is NO shade. There used to be a PortaPotty out by the parking area for the 3 cabins which was fine but now there are 3 of them right next to the cabins bringing their smell and flies. There was food all over the ground when we arrived and we had to sweep our cabin. There were other campers in one of the cabins our first night and their dog was pooping all over and it was not being picked up. The paperwork stated that the garbage would be picked up nightly which it was not. The water supply for the cabins was nasty with old dish washing supplies there. The paperwork we received also said no bottles or dogs on the beach and we saw both.... I could go on.
We love this place and so do our kids and now grandkids but I did not feel any owner presence. They used to stop by once in awhile. They would make sure all was well down at the beach... not sure about going back next year as there will be a huge new bar right next to what were 3 peaceful and quiet cabins. How can there be an enforced quiet time at 11pm when the bar probably doesn't close until 1? It was the best kept secret in the ADK until last fall.....
