The Deck House on Black Lake - Hammond

The Deck House is a spacious, year-round lakeside retreat on Black Lake, designed for guests who want room to relax, gather, and spend time outdoors. At 3,000 square feet, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home comfortably accommodates up to ten guests and is the only cabin on the property to feature two separate decks.
Inside, the house opens into a bright, large living area where floor-to-ceiling windows keep the lake in view from nearly every angle. The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area make the space ideal for cooking, eating, and relaxing as a group. The fully equipped kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large peninsula with seating for six. Indoor and outdoor dining areas provide seating for up to eight guests. The living area is designed for comfort and connection, with a fireplace, an oversized sectional that converts to a queen bed, a four-person game table, and a 80-inch smart TV for movie nights. Just off the main living space, the primary deck offers seating for eight, along with a hammock, grill, and outdoor heater.
The layout is ideal for groups, with generous common spaces balanced by private bedrooms. The primary suite feels like a private retreat, featuring a king bed, dedicated work desk, sitting area with panoramic lake views, and direct access to a brand-new private deck overlooking the water. The spa-style en suite bathroom includes a walk-in shower, single-person walk-in hot tub, walk-in closet, and washer and dryer. Two additional bedrooms provide flexible sleeping arrangements for families and groups. One bedroom features a queen bed, while the bunk room includes two sets of twin bunks. These rooms share a second full bathroom conveniently located nearby, complete with a tiled walk-in shower and handicap-accessible grab bars.
The Deck House includes handicap-accessible features, including an elevator from the garage to the house and accessibility features in both bathrooms, making the home comfortable and convenient for guests of all ages and abilities. Please note that the primary bedroom is accessed by a single step up from the main living area.
Located within Back Bay Campground, The Deck House offers a private setting with full access to campground amenities, including a heated pool, 24/7 arcade, walking trails, and a camp store offering seasonal rentals and activities.

The Deck House is well-suited for family vacations or group getaways, offering space and comfort in a special lakeside setting.

Back Bay Campground and Cottages is a family-owned and operated lakeside retreat located on the southern shores of Black Lake in upstate New York. Known as one of New York’s premier fishing and boating destinations, the campground sits just minutes from the scenic St. Lawrence River and the charming town of Hammond, NY. The property is thoughtfully designed for guests who want to enjoy the lake at a relaxed pace without the crowds and noise of large commercial resorts. Guests enjoy easy access to the water and docks, along with shared amenities such as a heated swimming pool, arcade, and picnic areas. An on-site camp store offers convenient rentals, including boats, kayaks, and lawn games, so you can fully enjoy the lake without leaving the property.

Back Bay Campground is located on a quiet lakeside road and is accessible by car only. Public transportation and ride share services are not available in the area; therefore, guests must plan to arrive with their own vehicle. Once on the property, guests can easily explore the campground on foot, including access to amenities and walking paths. Cell service may be limited in certain areas due to the rural setting. During the winter months, road and weather conditions can vary, and the use of a four-wheel-drive (4WD) or all-wheel-drive (AWD) vehicle is strongly recommended to ensure safe and reliable access.
