About this cottage rental
Located on 33 acres of protected wilderness preserve the "Nest" guest cottage can accommodate a maximum of 7 guests. Handicapped accessible, it features a full bath and galley kitchen with stove top, toaster oven, microwave, coffee maker and full size refrigerator. The kitchen is fully equipped for guest use. The family area contains a queen size futon and day bed; the bedroom has a queen and one twin beds and a portable bed. There is no cell phone service or TV, but land line, linens and bath accessories are provided and both parking and Wifi are free.
In the town of Stony Creek, the guest cottage is within a half hour of Gore and West Mountains for skiing, Lake George, Lake Luzerne, and Sacandaga Lake for boating, fishing, horseback riding and many other types of family entertainment and sporting activities. There is a local full service bar and restaurant, The Stony Creek Inn, open between May and December with live entertainment; a local tavern, Tavern 16, open 364 days a year; and a cafe/convenience store that serves breakfast and lunch year round.
The property has abundant wildlife native to the Adirondack region with a trout fishing brook and duck pond. Wild turkey, deer, black bear, mink, and heron reside on the property and adjoining miles of state land. There is an active beaver colony on the property's back water which also provides habitat for many native birds and plants. There is a civil war era cemetery with marked and unmarked graves common to local family burial grounds. There are walking and snowshoeing trails that thread through the property for interesting nature walks.
The guest cottage is equipped for winter stays with a wood stove, propane heaters and radiated heaters in the kitchen and bath. Meals can also be catered in for special events. Guests have full access to the entire property during their stay.
The cottage may be rented with or without kitchen use at a lower rate. Rates are seasonally adjusted with highest prices during the peak season from June through October. Rates also vary based on the number of guests. Weekly rates are available.
If you are seeking a quiet location for a get away that is also close to everything, this may be your destination. There are no lights to disturb star gazing and virtually no traffic which makes for a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life or the glare of neon lights. If you are looking for rustic elegance in the Adirondacks look no further. Relax on the deck overlooking the pond, cook out on the gas or charcoal grills or enjoy the large firepit. Guests are welcome to pick blueberries, apples, raspberries and blackberries in season.
The owner, a retired university administrator and active management consultant, lives in the main lodge (lodge guest rooms currently unavailable due to renovations) on the property and is generally available to respond to guest needs.

Very quiet and cozy. Check-in was easy. We brought our dogs and there was plenty of space. Would definitely return. Thank you!

Great place to stay to unplug and relax in a natural setting.

I had a wonderful weekend with my wife. The location is truly a highlight - secluded, peaceful and surrounded by nature. The cabin itself was clean, well equipped and overall comfortable. My only critique would be the WiFi which was spotty at times. Still, if you’re looking for a quiet retreat this is a great choice.

If you want to stay in a quiet place, this is it, but the cabin is right next to the main lodge which is not evident in the pictures or description.
If you want a clean place, this is not your best bet. I understand it is a cabin in the woods, but the spider webs inside could have been removed before we arrived. The dishes and dish drainer were dirty, so we washed dishes before and after we used them. The windows had smudges and handprints on them and the kitchen table was sticky.
We would have enjoyed it more if it was clean when we arrived, especially considering the price per night and the fact that guests are asked to sweep, vacuum, clean all surfaces and strip all the beds before you leave. Even though there is supposed to be a cleaning company.
