About this cabin rental

Built in 1926 and recently renovated, this classic log cabin is rich with Adirondack character.

Nestled in a stand of mature pines, the cabin's very private and secluded setting offers the gamut of outdoor activities but is also conveniently located less than 10 Miles from Whiteface Mountain, and less than 20 Miles from Lake Placid. The cabin is surrounded by hundreds of acres of forest which is accessible for hiking and hunting via a large network of private trails.

A fly fisherman's haven, the cabin sits a mere 50 yards from the AuSable River's 'Dream Mile', which was featured in the fly Fishing portion of ESPN's Outdoor Games (2001) and Outdoor Life's East Coast Fly Fishing Competition (2001, 2002). Fishing access by special reservation so please inquire.

A massive stone fireplace serves as the centerpiece of the great room and will take the chill out of any Adirondack night. With its master bedroom and two cozy bunk rooms, the cabin sleeps 8 people, with day beds in living room for napping. In the reservation, please provide the exact number of guests. The cabin also features a full bath, with hot and cold running water, an outfitted kitchen, and a beautiful screened-in porch for meals or relaxation.

The cabin comes furnished with bed linens, kitchenware, and all the comforts of home. A Grocery service is also available.

The cabin is located at the end of a long gravel/natural driveway. 2WD vehicles are usually sufficient in the summer and fall, but 4WD is recommended, particularly in the winter and spring. Due to the remote location, internet is available but can be unreliable - we cannot guarantee consistent internet service for the term of your stay.

Having stayed here previously, I thought I knew what to expect. To my surprise, many things have been improved and the overall size of the cabin was much bigger than I remembered. The weather for the week was perfect and our family of 5 was outside hiking, biking, and swimming everyday. The cabin was always cooler than expected and gave us tons of space so each kid could have some alone time. Lots of meals, snacks, and games were played on the outdoor teak dining table. Next trip will be winter for the kids to experience a very special place

This cabin is outstanding. Great location, off the road but close to many activities. The cabin is comfortable, fully outfitted, yet remains rustic. Would change a thing. Also, the communication before and during visit was well done. Thank you.

My boyfriend and I had the most wonderful week at this cabin. It’s secluded and absolutely gorgeous. As everyone says, the pictures don’t do it justice! We had a blast exploring the local areas, fishing the river, evenings on the screened porch, nighttime movies on the daybeds and a fire in the huge fireplace. Most importantly we are so glad to have met Jim, the property manager. He was so spectacular and even helped us out when we had a dead truck battery.

As advertised, this is a restored log cabin in the woods. For those seeking some privacy away from the crowded areas of Lake Placid this may do the trick. But a few notes that may make a difference that we were not aware of when booking. The cabin is down a very very long dirt road from the main road. This was inconvenient when making trips in and out of the property, especially at night. Also, this dirt road is shared with a logging road so you have to beware of large trucks. Because of the logging, and the fact that the cabin is across from a road despite the long road in, it is not as quiet as we expected. Even on weekends. The amenities of the cabin were nice, having a modern kitchen and bath were key while having the rustic other features. WiFi was unreliable for those needing it beyond occasional or casual use.
