Customer Testimonials

Submitted by: Christina Strong, Long Island, NY

It’s the third week of July and everybody in my family is very excited; we are on our way to our favorite vacation spot in the Southern Adirondacks in Upstate New York. The place is Peck’s Lake in Gloversville, northwest of Albany; rich in natural beauty and history.

Every year in July my family rents cabins all along the lake closest to the boat house, bath house, snack stand and the old fashion telephone booth. Back in 1975 when our mom first took at a vacation here with three out of her six of her children, they rented a campsite. In later years, she would rent one of the cabins on the lakefront but soon her children grew up and brought their spouses and children and one cabin was no longer possible. We now take six cabins along the lakefront and benefit having a community grassy area, picnic tables and campfire pits to share.

My family’s favorite Pecks Lake recreation activities include: water tubing, waterskiing, water boarding, water basketball became a favorite. On land beach ball, volley, hiking, treasure hunt using boats and finding clues all over the lake area. Another favorite tradition is boating to and swimming at Rock Island, a big rock island in the lake.

Card playing – Hearts especially with the men and some of the boys, and of course, the friendly competition of who can build the best campfire each night we are there. Sitting around the campfire at night is a special time of telling stories and reviewing the day’s events and who caught fish that day. Lots of Laughter and Fun.
