Wilmington Range Chalet

Adirondack-style log home and located on the Ausable River with mountain views of Whiteface! Enjoy the Adirondacks based out of this perfect log chalet with rustic charm, views, and peacefulness, located a minute away from Wilmington town center and 5 minutes away from Whiteface Mt Olympic ski area!
This log home of 1400 sq. ft features beautiful real, round log exterior walls, cedar and pine ceilings, hardwood floors, and large log beams, with a huge 12'x24' ft exterior deck overlooking the Ausable River, and a master bedroom balcony over cedar logs, with direct views of Whiteface Mt and the Wilmingon Range. This new log home was lovingly built in 2013 by life-long Adirondack resident and owner and Johnathan Esper, with meticulous attention to log design born from the owner's fond memories of growing up in a log home. The log house is built almost over the Ausable River, set amid some towering white pines on the steep river bank, at the end of a 300ft driveway with the neighbors' houses set well away along the roadside frontage. The sounds of the West Branch of the Ausable River, or the wind through the pines from atop the cedar balcony, are the only thing one hears from the house, despite being located most conveniently only 30 seconds to the center of the small town of Wilmington and it's various shops. Exterior sofit lights cast spellbinding shadow patterns of the round log textures and cedar shake gables, making twilight a wonderful time to come home.
The first floor of the house follows an open floor plan concept with kitchen, dining, and living rooms, plus a full bath and laundry room and bedroom with one queen bed. Enjoy the cozy gas fireplace with real flames, while looking out the window toward the Wilmington Range. Radiant in-floor heating throughout the house also provides warmth and coziness, and in the hotter summer months, the natural thermal properties of logs keep the house cool, along with french bi-fold doors opening onto the deck for fresh air. The kitchen is fully equipped for you to make lovely meals if you so wish, with brand new stainless-steel appliances. Upstairs is the master suite area including loft and bath. The bedroom features a walkout balcony accessed via french doors, and mountain views from the queen bed. The upstairs bathroom is entirely of slate tile and red cedar, with a jacuzzi hot-tub, natural slate and glass shower, and dual flush European style toilet. There is an open loft and TV sitting room also featuring a twin bed, pull out futon, which can enjoyed as a lounging area for the master suite, or desk working area, or kids sleeping area with a comfy new futon that can lay out flat for children.
This charming log chalet-style home is the perfect size for a week or weekend getaway to the Adirondack Mountains, and you'll feel you're in the Adirondacks whether at this home, or out enjoying the Adirondack region. The world class town of Lake Placid is just 15 minutes away, with fine dining and shopping, and it's the heart of the Adirondack High Peaks with the best access for hiking. Keene Valley, a hiker's destination, is also just 15 minutes away. And of course, Whiteface Mt ski area is just up the road 5 minutes away. The Ausable River is world famous for its fly fishing, and you can even enjoy your private fishing area on the bank in front of your vacation home. Wilmington is really located in a great area of the Adirondacks - it's the ski and mountain biking capital of the Adirondacks, and 15 minutes away from the best hiking in New York State.
Exterior of the house features a huge deck, with Adirondack cedar chairs, overlooking the Ausable River, a BBQ grill for your use, canoes for guests use on nearby ponds (special-use clause section in house rental agreement applies), and a firepit with plenty of Free Firewood to burn! (always keep your fire under control, not too big, and never leave unattended).

Classic rustic cabin design
Cabin design reminded me of a family cabin from 60 years ago. Many rustic interior design elements that added to the feel. Great location for fishing, golfing, hiking and relaxing. Owner was very responsive. Great spot for fly fishing. Would like to return.

This house and our stay was fantastic. We came and stayed for our wedding and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The house is nicely Decorated and tucked back in the trees on a beautiful property. After our wedding we enjoyed taking our own pictures at the end of the day down by the water and up on the balcony with gorgeous views. 10/10 everything was great and we highly recommend!

Unbeatable views!
This cabin is exactly as advertised with amazing views from the balcony and deck and the furnishings complete the anesthetic perfectly. The owner is very responsive and check-in and out was seamless. The steps down to the river are very sturdy but might be hard for old or very young guests. At first arrival i was concerned it wouldn't be as remote as I had thought but despite being near other houses you feel completely remote in the back yard and have complete privacy. We'll be back!

Absolutely perfect
I have been a long time user of VRBO and this location was perfect for near by points of interest and property was above and beyond what we expected. Cabin was clean and set up to accommodate every type of visitor to fine detail and the views are extraordinary. Communication was great and property has easy access and parking. I have stayed in several cabins via VRBO and I have to say that this was the best by far and exceeded in every category. Would definitely recommend and if we are ever in the area again would do this location again.

Perfect Scenic getaway
My family and I had a great experience staying here for a week. Johnathan was very accommodating to ensure that my whole family+pets were able to stay comfortably. The best part of this property would have to be the mountain views and the river at the back of the property. Would love to stay again in the future.

This property was just as advertised. Amazing views, cozy cabin and just secluded enough to give a proper sense of privacy but close enough to shops that you don’t feel out of place and there are things to keep you occupied. Would recommend it to 10/10

Adirondack Beauty
Wow! This place was beautiful!!! I'll start by saying, Johnathan - the owner, was awesome to deal with. He was quick to respond with any questions we had. We had no issues while staying at this cabin so, in terms of emergency or any emergent issues, we didn't have to contact anyone which is terrific! On a side note, Johnathan's photography is throughout the cabin. It's beautiful and gives this cabin a personal touch! The cabin itself was so clean and very well kept and so comfortable. And that view...OH MY!!!! The balcony off the main bedroom upstairs was our favorite spot (ours and our pup's). We were even able to sit on the balcony while it rained as there is a little overhang that gives it just the right amount of coverage in a downpour. This cabin is well appointed with anything you could possibly need. The steps to the river were a little steep so we didn't go down but a few times. That's alright though because you can hear the river from the cabin. It is so quiet and you hear no road noise, at all, even though you are close to town. And convenience, it couldn't be beat. We were within 2 minutes to terrific food (the pizza place in town was SO good). And we were within 20 minutes of Lake Placid. There's Whiteface Mountain up the road and within minutes or SO many amazing hikes. This cabin was amazing!!! We are so happy we chose to stay here and Johnathan rented his amazing cabin to us! We would love to stay here again at some point!!!

I cannot even begin to express how truly amazing this past week was, starting with this beautiful and meticulously cleaned home. The owner Johnathan was informative, polite, very responsive and just overall a complete perfect host and gentleman. Any questions my friend or I had were answered and in s timely fashion. This cabin is remarkable! Location is just enough privacy without feeling alone and it is so well stocked you truly could just show up for your stay! Lori does an AMAZING job with sanitizing and cleaning the home... we cannot wait to book again for next year!

A perfect getaway
This was the perfect little getaway for my family. The location - 15 minutes from the top of Whiteface, and 15 minutes from downtown Lake Placid - was perfect. Being able to hear the Ausable River from the balconies was a delight, and the bed was so comfortable it was hard to get out of every morning. The house was clean, spacious, and well laid out, and Jonathan was an excellent communicator. We would definitely (and hopefully will) stay here again.
