Fourpeaks Rental Terms |
"Very unhappy with the degree of hospitality we received." | The great majority of guests are thrilled to be here and don't mind if I'm an oddball. Do they think a normal person would live here year round--with just mountains, trees and nature? |
Safety First! |
"The process of making the reservation was problematic." | They're used to booking hotels that do it in a minute with a credit card and a confirmation number. We're sorry about that and if we were renting cabins by the side of the road, we'd do the same. |
| "Your prices are upscale. Why is that?" | Some folks experience the wilderness with just a sleeping bag and a tent--costs nothing. Others travel to exotic places--big bucks. Our backcountry camps cost in-between. About the same as a good hotel room in a mid-size town. | |
Prices: Fourpeaks Backcountry Camps. |
"Less expensive then staying at a Hotel?" | More about how expensive Fourpeaks is. Didn't understand that our listed rates are for single/double occupancy. We limit occupancy and charge for extra people and dogs. (You can't just squeeze in all the folks you want.) |
Planning a Vacation Get-Togther? |
"I called your establishment to inquire about about lodging for 4 couples . . ." | Fourpeaks camps are designed really for just one couple or family. A place for a personal nature retreat. Sometimes two couples will fit OK, but it's better if they just rent another camp. |
| "I did notice a 200 point deduction for 'complaining about the firewood.'" | Some folks try to count their Fourpeaks Frequent Flyer points on their own. I don't do the math. I leave it up to my staff of experienced Adirondack guides and their (scientifically proven) algorithm. | |
Adirondack Poetry at Fourpeaks. |
"The location is gorgeous . . . yet your poetry had a strong negative current throughout every page." | I don't understand aggressively happy people. My Zen (a study of realtime cause and effect in minute detail) exposes the chanci-ness of experience. Feel happy about it? Sad? Not really. (Still, some guests do find me a bit grumpy.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() Seven Secluded Cabins. |
"One of your guests mentioned that the Cabin and New camp are quite close to the office, cars in and out, ect and that's not really for us." | To aid prospective visitors make the optimum choice, we've devised the Seclusion Index #0-10 to help them decide which place is right for them. |
![]() Thoreau House. |
"I didn't like the absolute whole wilderness like the no bathroom and how we would shower and bathe . . . anything with electric and running water inside? " | Real Adirondacks Wilderness with not so much wilderness in it as all that. |
Safety First! |
"Is it dangerous to operate the wood stove . . ." | If you have a lot of scary questions about personal safety in connection with heating with wood, suggest you tell us and we'll rent you a place where a wood fire is not necessary. |
