Review of Silver Bay, YMCA of the Adiron...

We stayed in Butternut while at Silver Bay. DO NOT...

We stayed in Butternut while at Silver Bay. DO NOT stay in that building! They really should have photos of interiors of the buildings online so you know what you are renting. Butternut has bugs everywhere including ones that bite in the middle of the night. The 1970's trundle bed doesn't work and I personally can't see how 4 people occupying this space isn't a fire code violation. The building is two roughly 10 x 10 rooms with a small bathroom and galley kitchen. There is nowhere to eat or sit except on the bed. If we stayed in one of the newer buildings I'm sure the stars would be higher but we didn't know what we were renting.

On the plus side, Silver Bay itself is like living in a Norman Rockwell painting. There are all kinds of activities to do like sailing, ice cream eating, dodgeball, yoga, tennis, etc... and there is wi-fi throughout the camp. It is the perfect place for an active family to relax and get away from it all.
