Sure, you aren't staying in a hotel room on a lake or in an rented basement in someone's house, but the swimming hole here is incredible -- deep water with fish and crawfish, areas for lounging in the dappled shade, and a tall waterfall hiding behind a rock formation. We stayed on the property in the owner's camper and had comfortable sleep each night.
Ticonderoga is only 20 minutes away and the fort and Star Trek tours are both worth it. Mountain hikes are a longer drive, but this place can be your home base for the whole area around the Adirondacks.
