About Privacy at Camp Barn. Unlike all other Fourpeaks rentals, a stay at the Guest Room involves a shared use of the Camp Barn structure with The Hideout and work sheds. The Hideout is Home Sweet Home for Your Adirondack Guide and George, the Fourpeaks Resident Canine. Also, the three large storage sheds at Camp Barn are in year round use for Fourpeaks tractor and jeep storage, plus tools and maintenance equipment and supplies. The sheds adjoin but do not communicate with the guest living spaces. And, of course, both the Guest Room and The Hideout have separate private entrances. Every effort is made to afford Camp Barn guests the highest possible degree of privacy. |

Limited water supply at our backcountry camps. There's no city water at Fourpeaks backcountry camps. And no electricity to operate pumps to get water from our wells. Water for washing must be pumped by hand and hauled to where it's to be used just like years ago. In winter, water is especially limited, as pitcher pumps are not operable and stand pumps at the wells may freeze in prolonged cold weather. Living with a limited supply of water is part of the backcountry experience. It's educational and fun to learn how they did it years ago. 
Scrubbing Up at our Fourpeaks Backcountry Camps: Hot showers and those Oldfashion Ways. How do we do it at camp with limited water and no electricty?
With a new-fangled portable shower. That's luxury camping! Or we just bathe the time-tested oldfashion ways of years ago. We pump the water by hand. Heat it on the stove. Then bathe from a bucket with just a rag. Or sit in a big tin washtub or an old-fashion claw-foot bathtub like a cowboy just off the range. The shower is quick and convenient. It's educational and fun, too, to learn how they did it years ago. CLICK HERE for Hot showers and those Oldfashion Ways.

Whether you're an experienced webmaster or just a novice surfer, you may have feedback or suggestions to help us improve. We well remember the visitor a year or so ago who complained about the unpleasant glare from the HTML default royal blue links. That lead us to entirely revamp our background and link colors, making them softer, more eye pleasing. And the Florida expert who warned us about frustrating visitors with blind links. We followed his advice and now carefully identify each link so visitors know before they "click" exactly where they're clicking to.
