Sunset Mountain Lodge

I attended the Brant Lake Camp 100th year reunion and opted to stay in a "hotel" vs. a camp bunk. Being right down the street from the camp, this seemed reasonable. I think in retrospect, the bunk would have been better. The Sunset Mountain Lodge is old, run down and deplorably uninhabitable. I stayed in the main hotel although there are cabins on the property. I hope those are better than the rooms in the hotel. No air conditioning, no TV no food, no breakfast. In fact not much of anything other than an old mattress and mildewed furniture.

Thank you Giles for a wonderful stay. Our cottage more than met our expectations! The lake and private beach are wonderful. This is a great low-key spot to relax and unwind. We had a wonderful stay, and wish circumstances would have given us an extra night. If we plan another Adirondack vacation, the Sunset Mountain Lodge will be at the top of our list!

Pros: location was good for what we needed to do that weekend. Cons: when booking a room you will stay in the main " lodge"where walls are paper thin and you feel like you are in a murder movie.

Also strange that no credit card is accepted so you are forced to pay hundreds of dollars in cash there must be some under the table no tax action going on. Th

The property also owns about 100 ft of lake front which they've used for a beach and a number of docks. Behind the beach, before you get to the road there is a few acres of lawn which can be used for throwing ball or just sitting and chatting, or watching your kids. There's also a playground and shuffleboard courts. The lodge also provides kayaks, a canoe and a paddle boat for guests. The owner took us for an hour ride around the lake on his pontoon boat. We stayed in a cottage with 2 bedrooms, a family room, a kitchen and also a side room. There were plenty of beds and sofas. The bathroom had a combo bath/shower. There were many windows which we could open and helped bring in the breez
