PERFECT Spot
Idyllic property, right on a gorgeous stretch of the Ausable River. Clean and comfy cabin with all that you need. We truly relaxed, spent a lot of time enjoying the river and the views. Great proximity to all that makes this area of the Adirondacks so special - Wilmington, Whiteface, Lake Placid, Jay, Keene -- all nearby. Lots of great hikes in the area. Our host Scot was super-responsive. We'd go back, for sure!

25th anniversary get-away in the woods
We were looking for a quiet little get-away in the woods, with things to do nearby and this checked all of our boxes! Beautiful area with nearby restaurants and shops, but you feel so far away from the hustle and bustle while on the property; it was perfect! The cottage had everything we needed and a great view of the water!

Great stay!
Perfect spot to come back to after a couple days of banging out high peaks. I felt right at home in this cozy cabin, a much needed respite after a summer of fieldwork. Super clean, and a great option for solo travelers or couples looking for a couple days away from the grind.

Great little Cabin Getaway!
We stayed at the cabin on the river for a long weekend and it was everything we hoped it would be. It was quiet and peaceful and although the owner lives in the house next door, we were left alone and had the place to ourselves to relax. The river is beautiful and the cabin was clean and just enough for 2 people. The owner was very attentive and we would definitely do it again.

Cozy cabin
Very clean, well-organized cabin! The view of the river is breathtaking. We hiked some local trails and would return here afterwards for dinner, a fire, and a refreshing night’s sleep and/or coffee on the deck in the morning. Has instant hot water heater and Mitsubishi A/C for those who can only take the outdoors on them for so long! Really cozy, rustic ambience. Very close to LP 9peaks for those who like to hike. Completely recommend it. Scot, the owner, is very responsive and kind.

Great get-away
This is the perfect place to decompress from phones, crowds and traffic. We spent two full days of enjoying the deck that overlooks the Au Sable river - reading, birding and fishing. The cabin has everything we needed - a very comfortable bed! - and our host was very attentive to our needs. Thanks, Scot

Peaceful ADK Getaway
My husband and I were celebrating our 1st year Anniversary, and this quaint cabin on the river was perfect! The cabin was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. It is steps from the Ausable River, which was a great spot to toss a line in at any point of day. It was close to other fishing spots we wanted to visit and close enough to the trailheads we hiked. The only thing we didn’t realize, is that the owners home is directly adjacent to the cabin. Maybe 10-15’ away. However, they were not home during our visit. We did have communication with them during our stay and Scot seemed really cool, so we would have gladly chatted with them, had they been there. All in all 10/10 would recommend, especially if you’re looking to get out of the hustle and bustle of the touristy Placid area. Stunning location!

I just find this location so peaceful and beautiful. The cabin is just right for my needs and has spots to eat, sleep, and multiple places to sit and relax. The river is so awesome!
