About this property

Sand beach from patio edge to shoreline, mountain views, beach bonfires!

Pine Beach Camp in the Adirondack Park of New York sits on one of the most exclusive sand beaches in the Champlain Valley. The quarter mile beach is bounded by the mouth of the Ausable River to the North and a cliff to the South and is only accessible by a private gravel road. The lake bottom is sandy and most residents walk around and enter the water with bare feet. Boats can be moored offshore within walking distance or pulled up on the beach. There is plenty to see and do from this location. Float a kayak, paddle board or row boat out on the lake or up the lazy Ausable River, go swimming, fishing or just relax on the patio or beach. At night, sit around a campfire on the beach and roast marshmallows. The location is also a perfect base from which to explore the ruggedly beautiful Adirondack Mountains. Lake Placid, site of the 1980 Olympic Games and in the heart of the Adirondacks is 39 miles away. Downtown Burlington, VT is a 1.5 hour drive via the Cumberland Head NY ferry. From Burlington, the most scenic vistas Vermont has to offer are only a short drive away. The Amtrak Train station in Port Kent, NY also provides access to and from Penn Station in NY as well as Montreal, Quebec. Three public golf courses are located with in 8 miles, with the nearest course within 3 miles. Ausable Chasm, a popular tourist attraction is only 3 miles from our camp.

The camp is well equipped and includes a washer and dryer.

Perfect and Peaceful
Our stay here was absolutely lovely!! The owners provide everything you need to have a fun and enjoyable lake stay. The house is rustic and quaint and the perfect size for our family of 6. It is off the beaten path but still close enough to take fun day trips if you choose. We enjoyed peaceful days on the beach and water, along with campfires at night. Will definitely be returning in the future.

Post retirement getaway
I just retired and wanted to get away for a few days to unwind. The place had everything I needed. The weather was beautiful, the area was beautiful and the view of the lake beautiful. So glad I decided to stay here rather than a hotel.

Beach getaway
Wonderful stay with lots to do. Place comes well equipped for biking, kayak paddling, paddle boarding and even has the life jackets and bike helmets. Gracious host met us on arrival and updated us on activities available and general info of what’s in the area. The views of the green mountains and Lake Champlain never got old.

Perfect summer beach house
This beach house had everything our family needed for relaxing and fun. Adirondack chairs on the front covered patio, canvas chairs for the evening firepit down by the water, beach chairs, boats and a magnificent view. The cottage is comfy with plenty of rooms for our family. The kids played in the sand and sandy bottom lake was shallow enough for our 5 year old. Karol is great and answered questions immediately!

We had a great time at Karol's camp! It had everything we needed for a great week. The beach was great. We enjoyed sitting around a fire on the beach many a night. The camp was clean and comfortable. We would recommend Karol's camp to anyone looking for a relaxing time on Lake Champlain.

Perfect Location
We had a wonderful stay with family members at this cozy and comfy lake house. This camp has all the amenities to help you enjoy the beautiful Lake Champlain area. Several evenings we sat on the beach and enjoyed a bonfire while gazing across the lake to Vermont. A big thank you to our host, Karol. Your communication was excellent and we would not hesitate to return to this beautiful lake property in the future.

Relaxing mini-vacation at camp
This camp was wonderful. It was so easy to pack and get away- the owners have thought of so many details and there is so much available here to use! The water is not drinkable, but the host supplies bottled water, which we appreciated tremendously (we have stayed at places before where we must bring our own and it is so burdensome). The location is amazing, with lake access, and incredible views of the mountains. We enjoyed watching the trains go by and the geese flying South. So easy to just relax and enjoy! We hope to go back.

Mountaineer Top Notch Camp
This Camp is amazing, it has all the amenities you need, wood for the fire pit, washer & dryer, fully stocked kitchen as well as a garage full of fun things to use in the water. Bugs can be bad so make sure you bring bug spray. We sat by the fire pit every night and looked at the constellations which was absolutely amazing. Karol & Joe are very kind and helpful with whatever we needed. Looking forward to going back again next year.

Kids said best vacation rental ever!
Family loved the beach and all the games, from shuffle board, beach Frisbee, fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking. Bonfires on the beach at night with our s'mores. It was the perfect relaxing vacation with our large family. There was so much for them to do age 15, 14 and 12. At night inside we played cards at the large kitchen table. It so nice to go somewhere and the kids hardly touched their phones. Thanks again.

Kourmonts, seagulls and geese, oh my
This is one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed on vacation. We most definitely will be back probably around May. Karol was amazing. She first of all had to help us find the place way back off the road. Then then she gave us all kinds of ideas as to where to go for sightseeing. We had an amazing time. She was very patient and accommodating. She was ready to help whenever we needed it. We highly recommend this place for a quiet getaway and beautiful scenery.

Beautiful Place
Karol was a great host. We had a couple of questions that she answered promptly. No problems at all. This property was everything the listing said and more. Watching the sunrise light up the shoulder of Mount Mansfield from the upstairs sun porch. Calender-worthy views of Mount Mansfield (the highest point in Vermont) and the Camel's Hump (well-known to hikers on the Long Trail) across the lake. The house itself is beautiful and well furnished with everything including firewood. The beds are very comfortable. Sitting around the fireplace or a fire on the beach really makes a special place for conversations among friends. The house itself has a warm and friendly feeling about it. I would recommend it to anyone who wanted a special place for a vacation.

Spectacular views and every comfort from home!
We really enjoyed our stay at “camp” and had everything we could possibly need! This family camp was comfortable and cozy, and the wood burning fireplace kept us warm with plenty of wood for both the fireplace and our beach bonfires! All the extras are there and make it easy to settle in. Comfy beds, lovely antiques, plenty of warm blankets for chilly nights, books, family games and we even caught the Bills game on the smart tv! Kids loved the Wi-Fi and we all loved the peaceful setting and views of the mountains of Vermont. Would love to come again for the summer so we can dip into the lake!! We enjoyed a fall weekend with plenty of R&R and things to do as a family! Owners are incredibly attentive and timely with responses to any questions you have. So happy we could bring our doggo too!

Amazing Family Getaway
The property was absolutely gorgeous. My son and I had a great time using the row boat on the lake. My wife and I enjoyed the fire pit on the beach and watching the sunrise. The property is close to Ausable Chasm for some hiking as well as a few marshes. Karol was a fantastic host and even reached out to let me know my son could use the swing set. I can’t wait to stay here again in the future!

Rustic camp on the beach
Beautiful property on the beach. Can walk barefoot in the water in clear sandy water. Camp was clean really suggest bringing extra fans if house cools off nice at night but can get a little stuffy during day. Furninature is ok but your out side most tge day to really notice. Plenty of outside seating and extra chairs provided awesome fire pit on the beach. Tons of floaties for relaxing but bring a car air compressor to use. Over all great spot for family vaca!

Beautiful Views and Amazing Beach
We had a wonderful time at Karol's camp. She has the house well prepared with everything you need for your stay and with so many thoughtful touches. Karol also checks in with you to make sure everything is ok. She truly wants to ensure that you have a nice stay, which we all appreciated. The house itself has so much to offer. We appreciated the incredible views from the main living areas of the house and the lovely porch which we had mo matter what the weather brought. The beach is a dream - so expansive and it literally goes right up to the house. The shallow water and wonderful sand were perfect for our toddler - and for us. We also really enjoyed all the water craft available for us, as well as the indoor and outdoor games. We had so much fun and would love to come back!
