The Adirondack Mountains offer one of the most beautiful places in the U.S. year round. Auskerada is located in the Adirondacks, and offers a great vantage point for exploring all of what upper New York state has to offer. Auskerada (Aus-ker-a-da), meaning 'the stream of many fishes,' is one of several Mohawk Indian names for the East Canada Creek. Auskerada provides a private and comfortable place to settle in, with a natural stone, wood-burning fireplace and modern amenities,including wireless internet,digital cable, and free statewide long distance.
The cabin has rustic charm that only a cabin can offer. Beautifully decorated with original Adirondack style pieces by the owner, Auskerada offers 3 bedrooms, and sleeps 6. A great lodge for a romantic weekend getaway or a top quality vacation week for you and your family. Relax in our year-round comfortable setting.
Our guests reviews certainly speak for themselves. Using words as 'AMAZING', 'CLEAN', 'PEACEFUL', 'PRIVATE', 'BEAUTIFUL', 'QUIET', and 'PERFECT'. We know that all the hard work that we've put into this lodge was well worth it and the response from our guests is the greatest reward.
Our rooms and living spaces are elegant, comfortable, and inviting. Every view out any window reminds you of why you chose this cabin. The grounds are nicely landscaped in the Adirondack style and is perfect any time of year.
The inside is rustic Adirondack charm! Comfortable log beds and bedding with plenty of seating for everyone. Enjoy 'Pine's Peak' our screened in private balcony with only forest views. Our spring fed well offers the most delicious glass of water imaginable. After drinking our water, bottled water tastes funny.
The wood burning stone fireplace and mantle is inviting and harkens back to a simpler time bringing together friends, family, and acquaintances. The coffee is ALWAYS on us! Enjoy a fresh ground cup of coffee any time of the day. Inside you'll find a generous supply of games and puzzles to encourage quality family time. If being outdoors is your 'thing', a hiking trail right at your door goes on for miles or walk down to the lake to fish, relax on the dock, swim, or canoe with the 2 man canoe we provide.
It has to be clean!! Auskerada is a newly renovated 'upper-quality' lodge. We strive to maintain a very clean, and allergy-free environment. Therefore, we do not allow pets. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

5 of us rendezvoused for a weekend on this property because it's halfway between NYC and Montreal. It was also an ideal reason to get into the Adirondaks for a spell. Every inch of this perfectly proportioned cabin speaks of care, craftsmanship, cleanliness and warmth. (That's a recco) We completed this cozy picture ourselves with fine wines, even better scotch and three meals which we had all given thought to preparing for each other. Saturday we walked a few miles up the Adirondak trail - which can be mounted just a minute away- and we loved every minute of it. Saturday night after dinner 4 of us enjoyed a walk along Caroga Lake's road til we could go no further...it was perfect. Chris Simonds is a caring host, a gentleman, and pretty damn fun to keep in touch with regarding anything to do with your visit. When he says 'Anything you need or have questions about..." he means it. The whole experience felt like we were honored guests and Chris is casual and sincere from the get go. We were only there a day when I texted a few photos to another couple in Montreal and suggested that WE meet this coming summer at Auskerada. I look forward to spending some summer days or weeks in and around his place. (It's also the only place I've ever stayed that I found myself thinking of returning alone perhaps for a brief spell to write or take to the forest with a camera.) It's just one of those choices that feels perfect. The kind of place that every time you walk in the door it feels like home. Even walking up the drive felt like a welcome return.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0
