Fernwood was the perfect place for our family to get away from it all this summer. The property is fairly secluded and right on the water's edge. The dock is perfect for swimming or mooring a 16-20 ft power boat, and the owner's have graciously provided kayaks and a canoe for your paddling pleasure! The kids absolutely loved being able to swim out to the floating raft about 50-75 feet off the end of the dock and it served as a nice retreat for adults on an early morning swim as well. The fire pit and provided firewood were a fantastic touch and we enjoyed a nice fire by the water each evening.
The proximity to the Friendship trail makes for easy walks into Silver Bay to the South, or Arcady to the North. The Silver Bay General store is just a minute up the road for last minute supplies and getting to Bolton Landing is relatively easy if you want to do a bit of light shopping.
While the house is well equipped with just about anything you can imagine, don't expect the Ritz when staying at Fernwood. It is a true Adirondack Camp and, if understand that going in, you will have the time of your life. That said, if you are expecting 1,000 thread count sheets, steam showers, and Wustoff knives, you might be a tad disappointed (but that's not what the Northern End of Lake George is all about).
We will definitely be back!
