About this property

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A cozy Adirondack cabin with mountain and lake views!

Camp Merryweather is located in the Southern Adirondacks, on the bank of Lake Algonquin with picturesque views of the mountains. We have been enjoying camp life for the past 11 years here and are now ready to share it with you! This is a great place to get away with family, friends, or find some solitude! Camp Merryweather is a quick walk over the bridge to the town beach, and to the quaint town of Wells. The Adirondack Park covers 6.1 million acres, a land area roughly the size of Vermont and greater than the National Parks of Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Glacier, and Great Smoky Mountains combined. There are limitless trails for hiking, biking, and running, as well as lakes of all sizes to fish, canoe, kayak, and swim. Or you can simply relax!

Three kayaks, a dock, Adirondack chairs, and a firepit are available for your enjoyment. Please note, the dock usually goes in the water after Memorial Day and comes out around Labor Day. There is also Wi-Fi and a Smart TV with Roku, along with a variety of games to play and books to read. The Wi-Fi reaches both the deck and the dock for the ideal office with a view. The 3.5 miles around the lake is the perfect daily walk or run. Don’t forget to take in all the stars at night!

Camp Merryweather has 2 bedrooms, one with a queen bed, and the other with a full-size bed. There is also a pullout sofa with a queen-size upgraded inflatable mattress. Attic stairs lead up to a kids loft with two queen size mattresses - no headroom for adults up there! There is one bathroom with a shower stall, sink, and toilet.

The three-season porch is the perfect spot to read, listen to the loons, gaze at the mountains, or peacefully watch the lake. This is also where you will enjoy meals, until the cold forces you inside.

Two AC window units are available upon request. You will have the cabin to yourselves. Our property manager, Debbie, lives on the other side of the lake and is available to assist you.

Parking is available for 3 cars directly in front of Camp Merryweather.

I would describe this as an old fashioned lake cottage on a beautiful lake in a very scenic and quiet area. There are a few things in the cottage that are kind of old like the kitchen but it was very clean and and they have done a lot of nice things to it. The photos on the site give you a true picture of the cabin. The outside sitting areas like the area around the fire pit were just perfect for relaxing in the evening. If you like kayaking and hiking the area is great. Stayed 3 nights and enjoyed it.
