About this cottage rental
Looking to get away from it all? This cozy cabin, surrounded by meadow and woods, provides lots of privacy, birdsong, and beautiful views of forest on all sides.
WE DO NOT PERMIT SMOKING ANYWHERE ON THIS PROPERTY, NOT INSIDE, NOT ON THE PORCHES, AND NOT ON THE GROUNDS. Any evidence of smoking will result in a forfeiture of the security deposit.
The cabin can sleep up to 5 people. There are two bedrooms upstairs, and 1 full bath downstairs. One bedroom has a queen bed, and the other has 2 twins with room to play. There is also a sleeper sofa in the living room, with an inflatable mattress. Blankets and pillows are provided, but please bring your own sheets and towels.
Any additional people who stay at the cabin not identified at the time of booking must have our prior approval.
The living room has 2 comfy sofas - one is a sofa bed - and a very comfy recliner. A large screen porch with a picnic table invites you to dine outdoors in rain or shine or take an afternoon nap on the futon . For cooler days, you can dine indoors in the dining room. Should the weather turn cold, turn up the heat with the wood stove (wood not provided but readily available in the area) or the Heat pump heater. For hot days the heat pump will cool the downstairs. The kitchen has a full size refrigerator and an electric stove, and is well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, silverware.
Outside, there's an open fire pit for campfires and grilling. A large grill rack is provided, but you need to bring your own wood. A short walk down a wooded path from the cabin brings you to a private dock where a canoe and row boat are available for your exclusive use on Paradox Creek and Paradox Lake. Paradox Lake is known for good fishing, canoeing, and kayaking, and this end of the lake is especially known for the fishing! The creek is fun to paddle on. There are usually lots of birds and flowers to look at. Please bring your own life jackets - especially for children!
While you may feel like you're far from everything here, it's only an easy 10 minute drive to Schroon Lake and 20 minute drive to Ticonderoga, for shopping, historic Fort Ticonderoga, larger boat rentals at Schroon Lake Marina, music and musical theater at the Seagle Colony throughout the summer. There are lots of NYS DEC hiking trails (Pharoah Mountain Wilderness) just minutes away, and the Adirondack High Peaks are only about a half hour away. Bring your bicycles - there are quiet country roads for bicycling.

Good communication with owners, appreciate the detailed info provided about local hikes, etc.
If staying solo, be aware that getting the canoe down and launched is doable, but challenging. Best with 2 people.
Also be aware that the cottage does not have a lake view and is a short (but lovely) walk down to the lake inlet. You can hear the loons which was always a treat.
The accommodations were traditional, basic and cozy as advertised (just what I was looking for) and grew on me more each day.
The location was perfect for hiking, biking and boating.
I would definitely consider going back to this cottage if I were in the area.

We enjoyed this vacation rental. Loved being in the woods. Owner was responsive. Kitchen was well equipped to cook our meals.
Agree with some others that the canoe was heavy and not easy to get back on the rack so we only used it once.
All in all a good place to stay.

We spent two weeks at this cabin on our annual "girl's trip" and had a lovely time. The cabin met our our needs perfectly, and was well situated for day trips all over the eastern half of the Adirondacks.
Our hosts, Micki and David, were delightful and had quick responses to any questions that might have come up. Shopping, gas, and Dunkin Donuts (SO IMPORTANT) were only about 15 minutes away in Ticonderoga. The cabin itself was cozy and comfortable. We could open the screened windows when we needed a breeze and the gas heater would take the chill off quickly for those crisp Adirondack mornings. The back porch as totally our happy place. It is completely screened in, so we could sit out there in the fresh air and listen to the amazing number of birds (including loons!) while reading a book, having dinner, or just chilling out.
The property is well situated for people who like outdoor activities in Adirondacks. We brought our kayaks and enjoyed some of the local ponds and lakes. We highly recommend Eagle lake (the put-in is very close to the cabin) as it is a peaceful, spectacular pond with high rock walls and pristine water. The Pharoah Lake Wilderness area has an endless number of trails to hike; some with views, some with ponds and lakes to visit. The two local historic areas that we visited were Fort Ticonderoga and Crown Pointe, and we loved them both.
We ventured as far north as Lake Placid, Whiteface Mountain, and the Ausable River. They are all just a bit over an hour's drive, depending the route you take. You can meander on back roads, or you can go straight there. The back roads are quite scenic.
Thank you, Micki and David for being such lovely hosts. We had a wonderful, relaxing time.

Overall our stay was enjoyable. We were attracted by the offer of a row boat and canoe on premises, however, did not anticipate the trek down the path to the lake. If I were to suggest any improvements, it would be a bathroom upgrade. I found it a little tight, and was disturbed by the mold on the shower curtain.
The kitchen was very nice and bright and well stocked with plates, bowls, cutlery, etc.
The screened porch and the firepit were where we found the most enjoyment, listening to the sounds of nature and the loons.
The peacefulness and privacy made for a nice getaway.
