About this lodge
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately." Henry David Thoreau.
Wonderful 4-season adirondack lakefront log home on private and secluded Bass Lake, Franklin County. Bass Lake is a private, non-motorized, serene 8-acre lake. No jet skis to disturb your restful peace and quiet enjoyment of 450 feet of lakefront with your own private dock and screened gazebo.
The Lodge is a six bedroom, 3 bath house which can accommodate up to 15 guests at a time. On the first floor, the North Woods Suite has a king bed and en-suite bathroom; the Kitchen area has a large dining table that can seat 10, and the great room has a fireplace, large screen TV with new 2022 installed Starlink satellite reception much improved over prior years, Game Table, sofa, comfy chairs. On the second floor is a full bathroom and three bedrooms: the Skylight Room has three skylights and a queen bed sleeping two; Hucks Hideaway has a queen and three twin size, the Bear Cave has bunk bed of two twins and a queen. On lower level is Lakeview room with a queen, the Pines with a queen, bathroom with shower, and a game room with folding ping pong table, remote controlled propane fireplace, wet bar, mini fridge, and large screen TV, easy access to waterfront.
Three mile long Loon Lake is a private lake just down the road, with a beach and boat launch residents and guests at Bass Lake may enjoy. The Lodge is also close to Silver Lake, Rainbow Lake, miles of hiking, biking, paddling, and some of the best year round fishing in the area.
Plenty of winter sports as well: Cross country and downhill skiing, snowshoeing/hiking trails right from property (we have a few pair in the Lodge), snowmobiling, and ice skating. Secluded location, yet just 20 miles north of Saranac Lake, 28 miles to world famous Lake Placid/Whiteface Mountain, and about 30 minutes to quieter Titus Mountain - a wonderful family oriented ski resort. Lake Placid, home of the 1980 Winter Olympics, is a thriving town with dining, shopping, and entertainment options. The town really comes alive in the winter, with speed skating on the outdoor oval at the high school, and toboggan runs down to the lake. The stores hold many interesting Adirondack crafts and antiques. Whiteface Mountain boasts over 283 acres of skiable terrain, 86 trails and 11 lifts. Experience the greatest vertical drop east of the Rockies at one of the Adirondack Mountains legendary High Peaks. Whiteface is known for its beautiful panoramic mountain scenery, technical terrain, and award-winning family resort amenities; from beginner bunny trails to challenging expert terrain you will find there is skiing and snowboarding trails for all ages and abilities.
Whether sitting at the kitchen table, before the expansive glass doors looking out to the lake, enjoying the sun on the wraparound porch deck, or relaxing in the screened in porch, the Lake is always in view. Enjoy the call of the loons while seated around the fire pit as the milky way shimmers overhead. The lake is pristine, clean, and clear; the bottom is sandy with a gradual drop off. For your use are a canoe, a kayak, a tandem pedal boat, as well as life jackets. There is a gas grill for cooking and an outdoor fire pit. In the great room is a new LG 65 inch smart tv, an assortment of over 50 DVDs, Starlink satellite internet connection, a digital piano keyboard for the kids, and a ping pong table in the basement.
There are many thousands of miles of hiking and biking trails right outside the door and we are in a great location for day hikes to some of the ADK high peaks or other beautiful mountains. Hiking books are available at the Lodge to plan your trip or ask us for recommendations. Locally famous is Crusher Mountain at the north end of Loon lake. It is a very short hike (15-20 minutes) to the top with a fabulous view of the entire lake and Whiteface Mountain in the background. Loon lake Mountain trailhead, a nice day hike, is three and a half miles down the road. The recently maintained and well-marked trail takes you up to one of the original Adirondack fire towers at the summit. This hike is about 6 miles round trip but offers amazing views of the wilderness. More strenuous hikes like Debar and Ampersand Mountain are 40 minutes away. For hard core adventurers, the high peaks wilderness is less than an hour away.
Go fishing on Loon Lake for Large Mouth bass, Small Mouth and Northern Pike! There are also places to fish for trout within 10 minutes of the Lodge.Take a day trip to Saranac Lake, or even Montreal. There are some great restaurants in town, lots of cool shops and many tourist attractions. Don’t forget to make a stop at Hex & Hops Brewery & Taproom just 15 mins away in neighboring Bloomingdale for some amazing craft beers and seasonal live musical entertainment. Maybe take a trip back in time and ride the rails on the ADK Railroad. The Wild Center in Tupper Lake is a nature museum, which is fun for the whole family and is located about 35 minutes away. Even closer is the Paul Smith's Visitors Interpretive Center, which is a great place to see wildlife in nature and learn about the local ecology. The Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake is a gem, a great place for kids to learn about and experience the history and exceptional nature of the entire ADK region. Feel free to reach out to us for more recommendations.

12 of us stayed here for a 50th wedding anniversary trip. House is big with lots of bedrooms. Good size space for dinner and hanging out. Property is awesome. Bass Lake was delightful to hang out on. We spent tons of time kayaking, fishing, and floating in the lake. Waking up early and having coffee on the porch overlooking the lake was a great start to every day. Fire pit was a close second favorite by the lake. We also used Loon Lake which this property has access to and that was really nice too. We all loved this property, highly try, and would stay there again!

This house was perfect for our big family (14 people ages 11 - 80) ADK getaway. It had ample room for folks to have their own activities while bringing us together in the dining area, porch, and lovely private beach plus fire ring. Bass Lake is beautiful for swimming and fishing. With nary a neighbor in site, this truly felt like a private ADK getaway. The house was clean and nicely equipped with hammocks, boats, ping pong, fooze ball, grill, open porch and screen porch. We had a great time!

This is a beautiful remote spot that met the needs of our family. Some of us were happy to stay put for the whole week. Others ventured out for hiking mountain climbing and cliff diving. Some of us enjoyed the historic sites in Saranac Lake.

The accommodations were excellent. The interior has been updated and it’s very appealing. The exterior matches the neighborhood. We kayaked Loon Lake and biked the area. All the neighbors were nice and helpful. There are no coffee shops or grocery stores nearby. It’s 18 miles north for a gas station. There’s plenty to see in the area if you haven’t been there before but too remote to do it again…unless you’re looking for solitude.

Very enjoyable stay here. Home/rooms much larger than expected. Appreciated having small boats, lifejackets, chairs etc to play & relax by the lake.

Another wonderful vacation at Camp Nuss!
This is our second stay here and we can't say enough about how wonderful this place is! Such a peaceful, quiet setting with a large, well appointed house. We are hoping to come again next year.

Wonderful!
We had a great time at the lake house with plenty of space and bedrooms for two families with children. The lake was perfect for swimming and paddling. We spent a day in Saranac and at the Six Nations museum, but otherwise relaxed on the property watching the water and listening to the wind through the trees. House was clean and owners were helpful and responsive.

Camp Nuss far exceeded our expectations! The Lodge is very spacious with 2 more bedrooms downstairs. There are plenty of spaces for groups to spread out. We loved the wraparound, gated deck - perfect for our dogs. The lake was refreshing and clean. The Lodge has almost everything you need including firewood, floats, etc. There is no microwave (not a big deal for us). The satellite signal was not strong enough to watch TV but we could check email if not everyone was on wifi at the same time. It forced us to unplug a bit more. We also loved walking the loop around Bass Lake Road and did daytrips/hiking to Baker Mountain, Saranac Lake, Lake Placid/Whiteface, and Paul Smith's VIC. Overall, our multigenerational family had an amazing time at this vacation property and Marty and his team were super responsive and gracious hosts. Don't hesitate to stay here!

Wonderful summer getaway!
Marty's property was amazing. We were 2 families of 4 vacationing together. The house is big and gave us plenty of room to spread out. Our teens enjoyed the newly finished basement with a ping pong table and electric piano. We enjoyed the lake every day of our stay. The water is clean and a great place to swim, float, paddleboard and kayak. We enjoyed a few nights around the firepit listening to the loons on nearby Loon Lake. I can't remember the last time I had such a relaxing vacation. We're hoping to return next summer!

Great Vacation
We spent a week+ in Marty's lodge in February '21, with a lot of snow and really cold weather. The lodge is really nice, warm, well equipped, and the owner was extremely helpful and accommodating. We were 4 adults, 2 young children and one toddler and had great time, not a single issue during our stay, and plenty of activities around (e.g. ice skating on the lake or skiing at nearby Titus mountain). We will definitively come back!
