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!

Very nice. Only complaint is the dock extension was not in place as in description and photos.This made it very difficult to launch the kayaks we brought with us.Otherwise, cute cabin!
