Don't let Summer slip away. There is still time in August. Great for couples!

  • The Buddy Shack is a newly-renovated lakeside retreat that provides stunning views and all of summer and fall’s pleasures. This seasonal cabin dates from the 1930s but offers all of the amenities you could ask for. It has two-bedrooms, an updated bath, a huge deck, a large dock and an outdoor fire pit. Pets are welcome (maximum 1) for a $95 pee fee. A great location that brings you everything upstate New York and the Adirondacks have to offer.

    The Buddy Shack comfortably sleeps four adults. The main bedroom features a queen bed while the second bedroom has a new twin-over-full bunk bed. The wide open kitchen showcases beautifully-restored exposed beams and peak. It has everything you need to cook and entertain, including a 15.6 cubic-foot. fridge, new microwave, Keurig Duo, four-burner electric range with oven. The sitting room features a bay window with beautiful views of the lake, a cozy couch, a 32-inch TV and an air conditioner. The unique bar nook has a handmade bar, sitting chair and record player/Bluetooth speaker combo. An outdoor shed includes an apartment-size washer/dryer.

    The outdoor spaces are the star of the show! The large deck overlooks Kayuta Lake offering stunning views of the water and landscape. It features patio seating for four, a standup round bar overlooking the lake and a brand new Weber grill. There is an easy walk down to the dock for access to the water for swimming or boating. End the evening under the stars in an Adirondack chair by the firepit.

The Buddy Shack was immaculate, and we were left loads of little extra touches. Brandon deserves the title of Premier host.We especially liked the little history of the shack that was left as well as the comprehensive information that was in the booklet. It was lovely to sit out on the deck overlooking the lake. The barbecue was in perfect working order. In short, the venue was as described.

Great ADK Vaca

Loved our time at the Buddy Shack! Excellent & responsive host who left great welcome gifts to make us feel relaxed and ready for vacation. Loved the fire pit, the view of the lake from the deck, exploring the lake on our inflatable kayak, and a quiet spot to enjoy the start of summer. Great place to stay!
