Only 30 minutes from Syracuse but a world away in relaxation. Set on 850 acres we never saw another person we were able to hike in the woods, beautiful views of the lake and sit by the fire and enjoy some great conversation. Both places were fully renovated with top of the line fixtures while still keeping an old world charm. We are looking forward to trying the rest of the lodging options on our return visits. You need to check this place out!!

Quality: Had a truly wonderful experience at Vanderkamp. Surprised this secret is not out yet, as they seemed to think of everything. We stayed at their Langston Cottage, which was made for couples. A large indoor fireplace, a reading nook, and a soaking tub as the main features. More isolated than the other cabins, it felt like we were on our own in a winter wonderland. Despite the snow, we still managed to do quite a bit of hiking, and enjoy the silence of nature. Quantity: Huge property to explore. Value: Prices vary by timeframe and the trails are only for guests. Ambiance: Vanderkamp is a large private retreat area in upstate New York. Formerly a more traditional campsite, they have begun to renovate the cabins to provide for a luxury vacation experience. There are only four in-use cabins on the massive property. Miles of trails, a large lake with canoes available, and a small store provide all the fun and activities you need to never leave the property. Each cabin is designed for a different number of people and vacation, from couples to families to wedding parties. Crowd: Love the isolated feel, only saw one other guest during our stay. Service: While some of the trails could have used a bit more markings, it was part of the fun of exploring. Cabins were impeccable and well-maintained. Parking: Plenty of parking at each cabin and at the main center.

This truly was very much like home and Ophelia felt like family to me! I loved her breakfast and…read moreamazing hospitality! She was so sweet to make my stay feel welcoming and she even provided me with an assortment of tea to choose from in the morning, which included a fancy kettle of hot water. I'm in love with the design (see my tea cup picture attached). I stayed in the blue room which I adore! I slept so good there and was very cozy! Lots of positive energy in this home! So much beauty inside this home and out! This will definitely be my go to if I ever visit Syracuse again!

If you and your partner work full-time, and you are hoping to have a small wedding, this venue…read moremight not be for you. Each appointment we had with Rochelle was conflicted, except our first meeting. We only met with her three times. When I say conflicted, second meeting, a pair waiting for a funeral meeting was left waiting in the corner when we were there (conflict of appointments on their end). (Sad and awkward). Another time, another couple was left waiting. It felt rushed, and it definitely felt like we were customers being funneled through. The rehearsal was incredibly difficult for us to schedule. Traditions is ALWAYS booked. And, if you are hoping to have a rehearsal that proceeds your wedding day and is celebrated that night with a dinner, this place is not for you...unless you have a big wedding and are paying more.... On the night of our rehearsal, Rochelle scheduled a big wedding that was to take place the next day on top of our rehearsal. She first tried to say it was our error. I asked her and my husband to pause and really think how this mistake took place. Rochelle finally took ownership for overbooking...but the rehearsal began 40 minutes after scheduled, while the bigger wedding with some young folks were celebrating and taking pictures to the side (Good luck to the happy couple!--no shade, much love, it wasn't their fault). It did make me feel like, though, because our wedding was small and perhaps not bringing in as much as theirs, that they were more of a priority. And the dishonesty to blame my husband for her scheduling error, another scheduling error, was disgusting. Last, my husband and I both work very demanding full-time jobs. Rochelle was honest in saying that she is not a wedding decorator. Two days prior to the wedding though, we were displeased by her lack of organization and asking for us things like, the literal numbers that go on the tables and a sign that says where each person is seated. We thought this has to do with pragmatics, not decor, and the last minute request, we would have happily done it sooner, but we just laughed about it at this point. The food was lovely and on time. Do not ask to bring home left over cake or cupcakes that you brought in, unless you want to have a conversation about it. My husband and I work in the service industry. We recommend this place as a kind of airbnb, they provide food and drink, and an AMAZING SETTING. As for the rest, you need to be 100% on top of your game with planning, you will not get any help at all in this area. We were promised a timeline, for instance, to help us be aware, but it never was given. The prices were great, so if you approach it that way, you'll be good.
