We stayed in the Heron Suites for the week before Labor Day and hated to leave so we extended for a day. The two adjoining suites were perfect for our annual extended family get-together. Yes, we could hear what was going on next door (bottom floor only, not the bedroom areas), but it didn't bother us. The beach & lawn... more

Ampersand Bay is great place for the family and couples to stay for a week and meet other families around the fire pit in the evening. Kids have great time meeting other kids. Some families have come at the same time every year for last 15 years because they have become such good friends. New families that come up for... more

We stayed in one of the Heron Suites that sits directly on the water. We have 3 college age and older daughters, and we all had a blast. We were there for 3 nights and we wish it was longer. We hiked Ampersand Trail one day, and kayaked/canoed on Saranac Lake the other day, along with a evening cruise on... more

I bumped into Ampersand Bay after my sister yammered on about "how great a place it was," so I decided to give it a shot. Coming from Soho, the ride was about 6 hours long (which isn't that long of a ride, considering that there were a couple of decent rest-stops in Albany and Saratoga). The route was very scenic;... more

We stayed in the Cedar Cabin for 3 days in late June. It was a typical Adirondack cabin and we loved it!! The lake was just out our door and our kids loved playing on the wide lawn area and beach. more

What a wonderful, relaxing place......I honestly can't remember the last time I felt so relaxed and carefree. From the moment we arrived I knew we had made the right choice on where to spend our aniversary. We stayed in one of the new condos on the water and to wake up to such a great view, just breath taking. Thanks... more

I've been coming up to Ampersand Bay in Saranac Lake, for more then a decade. The comments some of these people posted were ridiculous. I leave the city to escape city people, fish, and enjoy the pristine views. Ira and Kathy have always been great hosts. My boat is always waiting for me clean and fueled. I have stayed in... more

if this is your vacation destination. DCTraveler had it just right. Suckered in by their Website. I rubbed my eyes and could not believe it was the same place described therein. This dump costs more than lodges and cabins of real quality. It's a scam, plain and simple, avoid, avoid, avoid. We stayed about ten minutes otherwise I'm sure we... more

These guys have a nice website. That's the best thing I can say about the place. DON'T BE FOOLED BY IT! My wife, 3-yr old son, and I checked into one of their "family- friendly" cabins on a Saturday night and found much to our surprise that our cabin had a parking lot view. The building itself looked as though... more
