About this property
Adirondack Lakeside Log Cabin With Mountain Views
Classic Adirondack log cabin located on 6+ acres of private land, with magnificent mountain views and 400 feet of lakefront . There is a large stone fireplace in the living room, a screened porch, 3 outside fireplaces, a waterfront deck with tete-a-tete, canoes and a rowboat to launch from your own dock. Have breakfast in the fully functional kitchen; refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, blender, pots, pans, dishes -- all the necessities. The new gas grill is ideal for a cookout. The master bedroom offers an Adirondack log bed, while there is a loft area that sleeps four, and a hide-a-bed sofa in front of the fireplace. Watch Satellite TV, DVD movies or just sit outside on your Adirondack chairs, by the campfire, and appreciate the star filled sky.
Surrounded by the sounds of nature you will be reminded that you do have neighbors - loons, ducks, Blue Heron, etc.., Completely private on 6+ acres with 400 feet of waterfront. In the summer pick blueberries down by the dock or across the road. Plenty of dirt roads leading right from the cabin are well suited for hiking, nature walking or biking to discover the beauty and wonder of the Adirondacks.
The Lakes: Mountain view lake is a small private quiet mountain lake home to beavers, ducks and loons. Canoe via a channel and discover Indian Lake. Indian Lake is bigger and better suited for swimming, and tubing. Both lakes offer lots of fishing opportunities; perch, pike and small-mouth bass. Small kids will enjoy the sandy beach area with a wade in point on Indian Lake while older kids (including our labs) have been known to jump right from the cabin's private dock. Both lakes are about 3 miles long -Mt. View is narrow and Indian Lake is wide. The lakes are connected and offer fishing opportunities with small motors, kayaks, canoe, or rowboats.
There are lots of bigger lakes nearby: Meacham Lake, Saranac Lake, Lake Plaid, Mirror Lake, etc.., Fly fishing is renowed at Salmon River. Deer River flow only 20 minutes away offers abundant wildlife, large pike, easy canoe launch and even some trout! Enjoy the St. Regis canoe area and make sure to bring the camera.
The Mountains: Hiking, walking, biking, jogging, running. Whatever you can do with a mountain the Adirondacks is the place to do it. Hike Debar Mountain at Meacham Lake Campground or hike to the top of Azure Mt. with the working firetower but make sure you 'take a rock to the top' to prevent wind erosion. Look for soaring hawks and spectacular views of the St. Regis Canoe area. Dauphin Nature park is only .25 miles from the cabin's front door and offers lots of hiking opportunities without the drive. Paul Smith's Visitor Center offers hiking and walking opportunities for all levels from a climb up Jenkins Mountains to wide dirt paths for toddlers.
The fall is a spectacular time of the year. The Adirondack mountains are encased in autumn splendor and nature is a master artist with a variety of colors; gold, red, orange, etc.... Visit the High Peaks in Keene Valley and be prepared to fall in love!
The cabin: Where do you go to relax? No work, no traffic, no cell phones and no stress. The only thing you have to do is what you want. Build a fire, grab a blanket and listen to the distinct sound of each raindrop while you relax, read or take a nap. Get dressed and get that heart pumping with a challenging hike. Look for wildlife while you hop on the bike or grab the fishing rod and reel in some fun. Rediscover your own voice in nature's golden silence.
Build an outside fire and toast the smores! Throw a log on the indoor fireplace, play cards, watch a movie or look for stars in the nighttime sky. Stay up late and let your body's alarm clock wake you. Snuggle up next to the fire, partner or family pet. Canoe, kayak or take a dip from the dock. You decide! The most important thing to spend is your time. You won't remember the minutes just the moments. Enjoy each moment with yourself or with your family at the cabin on the lake in the mountains.

This camp is beautiful, it’s super private, and the fishing is great. The screened porch was perfect for taking in the surroundings, reading a book, and listening to the rain. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies for cooking and there was ample room for our family of 6. Cabin has lots of games and badminton on the front lawn was fun. We also enjoyed
It's a beautiful location there is no beach for younger children but they had a great time fishing off the dock.

Thank you for spending time at Camp Critters. As you indicate, there is not a sandy beach at the waterfront area. Most of our guests travel 2 miles to the public beach, on adjoining Indian Lake. Mt. View Lake is well known for its excellent fishing and I'm glad the young children enjoyed their off-the-dock fishing experience.
Perfect lake getaway weekend. Great location and a wonderful lake to stay on.

Pleased to learn that you felt that your weekend stay was a perfect getaway for you and your family. Unfortunately, the rainy weather was less than desirable.
Staying on the lake was a pleasure. We enjoyed conversing with Douglas at check in and appreciated his knowledge of the area and suggestions on things to do.

Thank you for sharing your positive experience , while at the cabin/lake. The private and peaceful cabin site offer one a great place to unwind from the hectic work-a-day world.

Thank you for returning again to Camp Critters. As you say, it's a great place to relax and unwind: surrounded by the beautiful Adirondack environs.
We had a wonderful time and Doug was a terrific host. He met us at check-in, walked us through the cabin, showed us the boats/canoes, and told us a bit about the history of the area and fun places to spend some time. Very charming and rustic cabin, super comfy. It's a very intimate and private setting, secluded but 30min from town. Excellent private dock to launch the boats provided, or to launch your own. Nice paddlers pond, not much power boat action. Herons, bald eagles and assorted cormorants and ospreys were seen. With little noise pollution, was so good to remember what quiet sounds like.Lots of northern pike and some respectable bass in the pond. Very fun place for kids, we brought an assortment of grandkids and they all want to go back next year.Highly recommended.
If you are looking for a place to unwind and enjoy the tranquil lake, listen to loon calls and wake up to the sunrise reflecting on the water, this is the perfect place. We have already booked our stay for 2025 and can't wait to return.

Thank you for returning to the cabin for another Adirondack vacation. We are delighted in your enjoyment of the peace and rustic beauty that the cabin and the Mt. View area offers.
A wonderful cabin with everything there that was needed. Loved being able to canoe, walk, build fires, cook on the grill, play games and enjoy the porch and decks. The area is peaceful and it was a wonderful place to get away and explore the Adirondacks

I enjoyed reading about your many activities while staying at the cabin. Clearly you both enjoyed the outdoor options the lake and mountains offer.

This cabin was the perfect getaway for our family. We all loved fishing off the dock, canoeing and taking hikes in the nearby areas. The views were amazing and overall it was just an amazing, peaceful and relaxing place. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely be back some time in the future!

We had an amazing time at the cabin. Beautiful cabin and views from the dock and sitting areas. Very private and quiet, just what we were looking for. Doug was a great host and we took advantage of a number of his suggestions such as hiking areas and canoe trips. Cabin has every thing you would need and is well kept. We will definitely be back!

I’m glad that you continue to enjoy your stays at the cabin and surroundings. It is a special place that offers a real connection with the natural world.
Excellent location for a relaxing family vacation. Kids loved the cabin, pets loved the outdoors. Two great places to eat near by, the rest of the time we BBQ'd. Climbed a small Mt., which was perfect for kids, did some trout fishing near by and lake fishing with the canoes. Owner is great and as attentive as you need or dont need. Enjoy

Thank you for your positive review of Camp Critters and this region of the Adirondack Park. We’re delighted to learn that you and your family took advantage of the many outdoor activities near the cabin and that you enjoyed the tranquility and privacy of this lakeside setting.
We spent a wondeful week in the peace and quiet at the cabin. The cabin is clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a quiet week away on the lake. We kayaked, hiked and fished and enjoyed the solitude. Doug is a great host - he showed us around when we arrived and made sure our stay was everything we expected.
We.would absolutely stay here again! Thanks for sharing your place with us!

Thank you for your sharing your experience at the lake and cabin. I was very happy to learn that your stay was enjoyable and that you had a chance to take advantage of some of the experiences the area has to offer. It was great meeting you and your family (Fergie, too) and best wishes for a good school year!
This was everything we were hoping to get out of a vacation to the Adirondacks. We really enjoyed the scenery and the lake, the local hiking trails and the fishing. The location is very secluded and private, but still within driving distance of activities. The cabin was a bit smaller than I was expecting, but it was a perfect size for our family of 4. It should be said that the loft sleeping area has low ceilings and mattresses on the floor, so good for kids but not really for adults. The screened in back porch was really nice, as was listening to the loons on the lake.

About the host
Hosted by Douglas M Johnson
My wife and I are retired public school teachers, who have spent our summers in the Adirondack Mountains for all of our married life. We find the mountains offer us a welcome refuge from the busy work world and a playground that allows us to pursue a variety of interesting and enjoyable activities with our family.
Why they chose this property
Our lakeside log cabin is located on 6+ acres of Adirondack forest land, with no visible neighbors (except for camps on the other side of the lake). This very private type of setting is hard to find on most Adirondack Lakes. It was this location, coupled with the attractive, rustic log cabin that resulted in our purchase of Camp Critters 3 years ago.
What makes this property unique
Past guests have found their time at the cabin to offer a most peaceful and relaxing vacation. There are walking and hiking trails just beyond the cabin's entrance road, while the lake offers enjoyable canoeing, kayaking and boating. Fishing at the lake and on its feeder streams is excellent.
