A Beautiful Getaway from Home

The Palmer House is beautiful and is seated right on 4th lake. The screened in porch butts right up to the water. The house is spacious which suits our family since my brother and I share the house with our children. There is plenty of room for the kids to run and a nearby beach for them to swim. The kitchen is large and great for making big family meals! Overall, it is a great place to stay! I've been coming up to the Adirondacks since I was born (so that makes it 39 years now). It is my favorite place in the world. You have water, beach, hiking, woods, mountains, canoeing, kayaking, water skiing, great food, family, gift shops and plenty to do with kids like mini golf, Enchanted Forest Water Safari, Bingo, and more!

Great snowmobiling experience at the Palmer House

We had a group 10 adults and the house was plenty big! Great access to fourth lake and trail 5. True cabin feel! Owners were great to deal with. Would definitely come again!

Authentic ADK

Palmer House is a beautiful spacious cottage in Palmer Point. The new owners acquired the property from Mr. Palmer , who had it in his family since the ADK's were being settled. They have managed to update what was necessary yet maintain the authentic old Adirondack charm and simplicity. There are comfortable beds, a screened in porch over- looking the lake, a beautiful stone fireplace, updated kitchen and 2 modern bathrooms. The old photos, maps, magazines and games of by gone days give it that authentic feel and are fun to enjoy on a rainy day. Palmer House is the largest cottage in a small compound with other cottages ( perfect if you have a large group gathering, our family rented 3 for a family reunion). There is a sandy beach with shallow entry into the lake. There is a large dock with Adirandack chairs that a perfect for sipping your morning coffee or evening beverage. I must comment about a previous review about the gas pump and pontoon boats. The pump itself is not at all that close to Palmer House. Boats coming in for gas park at the end of a long dock. We never smelled gas fumes. They do rent out pontoon boats. Usually people pick up around 9 am, and return around 5 pm. Most of the boats are out all day. We rather enjoyed watching the boating activity. Palmer House is a clean, authentic Adirondack cottage that accommodates a large family or group comfortably.
