My family and I recently stayed at the Ampersand Bay Resort over Easter weekend. What can I say, this place was amazing. The property was spacious, big, and beautiful. The unique details throughout the property really gave it a rustic feel. That is just the outside, when you walk into your cottage you will be amazed. Our cottage had three... More

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at the Ampersand Bay Resort on Feb 28th thru Mar 2. We stayed in the Maple cabin and it was excellent. The cabin was much more spacious than I imagined. It was nice to be able to sit on the couch next to the fireplace on a cold winter night. I would... More

The location of this resort is amazing. We feel like finding Ampersand has changed our family forever. We have adopted the resort as our home, and now it is the destination for our annual family reunion. It is a hidden gem on Saranac Lake. We are almost afraid to write this review, because if the word gets out about how... More

Thanks so much for your review! We sincerely enjoyed meeting all of you and love having families come together at Ampersand Bay. Many families choose our resort for their reunions. Some come every year, some come every other year and some come for a special event, like a birthday or anniversary. We love having large groups of family get together-... More

Recently spent the weekend staying in the Saranac Suite. Went with husband, brother and sister in law and had more than enough space. Master bedroom has a gorgous view with a master bathroom. The steam shower is to die for! The second room we used had a double/full size bed and twin. The third room included two twins. All three... More

We stayed for our wedding in Sept. 2012 and our ~30 guests who stayed on property all had an amazing experience. It was an amazing experience seeing everyone playing on the beach, out on the lake, and around the nightly campfire. Mary and her staff took great care of us.

My husband and I were in town for a wedding in October and we stayed here. I absolutely fell in love with all the Adirondack style furnishings. The atmosphere was cozy and peaceful. The view was stunning. All the comforts you could want were right there. When you're there, it is easy to forget how close and convenient it is... More

Two sides of our family stayed together here in one unit for our near-by family event. The rooms were immaculate, towels soft and fluffy, carpets so nice and clean, so quiet. We enjoyed the waterfront, the beach, the evening fire, the views, morning coffee on the back deck, sunset on the front deck. Everything was decorated in fine Adirondack style.... More
