The Space:

Welcome to The Yogi, a modern log-sided cabin nestled in the Adirondack mountains. The first floor features a new modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, a microwave oven and a coffeemaker. The dining room features seating for six. The living room is decorated in Adirondack style and includes a 50" flat-screen television with DIRECTV, Netflix and a DVD player. There is a full bathroom downstairs. The downstairs bedroom has a full-sized bed and a closet. There is a washer and dryer in the hall across from the bathroom. Out back, through the sliding door, is a large screened-in porch. Out front is a full porch and a ramp for handicap accessibility.



The second floor has a bedroom with a queen-sized bed and a walk-in closet. A second upstairs bedroom has twin bunks with a trundle bed and a 32" flat-screen television with DIRECTV and a DVD player. The second floor also has full bathroom with a shower.



In the spring, summer, and fall, enjoy canoeing, kayaking and fishing using our canoe and kayaks. Paddle up the Sacandaga River or over to Lake Algonquin directly from our property . Our boats are available based on spring and fall weather. Boats are always available from May 15th to October 1st. Our grill is charcoal, just bring your charcoal and lighter fluid and enjoy outdoor cooking! - or just sit back and enjoy the wilderness that is the North Country. Behind the cabin is a large flat area for activities and a fire pit for s'mores and relaxing in the evenings. On a clear night, the stars are amazing!



It's a short walk or drive to the town beach, where you can swim or soak up the sun. Or, explore the many hiking trails in the area, leading up mountains, to waterfalls, or into the solitude of the forest.



In the fall, the leaves are spectacular! There are many beautiful scenic byways you can drive right from our doorstep.



In the winter, enjoy skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, tubing, ice skating and snowmobiling. Hamilton County has some of the best Snowmobiling in NY. Our cabin is directly on the NYS trail system with access to hundreds of miles of groomed, marked snowmobile trails. We also have plenty of parking for your snowmobile trailer.



Next door to the Yogi is our other cabin The Dakota. They are separated for privacy however are also very popular for families to rent both together for larger gatherings. Reach out to us for more info, or a link to the listing.

My family and I had an excellent time at the cabin. We actually had to arrive 1 night early due to poor weather where we live. John was outstanding about us having to arrive early.The cabin was spacious enough for our family of 4 and it was clean and updated. We had a great time on the trip and we look forward to coming back.

Thank you, John, for such a pleasant stay at the Yogi! My family and I ventured off to Wells for Thanksgiving this 2025, and John wentfar and beyond to make our stay one to remember. The Yogi is well-equipped, with everything we needed, and even had cable TV! The surrounding areas are amazing, great trail locations! We will definitely be coming back!

The cabin was gorgeous. The owners really make sure it’s like a home away from home. My friend visited Carls coffee shop and loved it. It was quiet and peaceful just what we were looking for! The only down fall was no water in the river. All mother natures fault!

We planned this getaway for a family birthday. We were at first disappointed that the drought prevented us from using the kayaks, but found the charm of the house and all the outdoor activities in the area made up by magnitudes. Lovely property! We will be back!

The Yogi was a good location for my family to explore the Adirondacks. We hoped for more of a lake view but it is hidden from the house. The beds and rooms were comfortable. The hosts provided good communication.

A cozy cabin

We had a great stay at Cole's Cabins this week! We could bike, kayak or walk to the beach in minutes and enjoyed the Old Home festivities. We enjoyed several dinners in the screen room and enjoyed having water just steps away for paddleboarding and kayaking.

Winter fun

This property is a snow lovers dream! Located close to ski resorts and on the main snowmobile trail. The property managers are always available and accommodating. I would recommend this cozy cabin to families looking to have fun in the winter or summer months as the adirondacks have much to offer.

Just what we needed.

My friends and I had not seen each other in a long time so we spontaneously decided to book a weekend at the Yogi. It did not disappoint. It was clean, well stocked, had all the amenities and a gorgeous backdrop. We would stay again in a heartbeat. The only thing I found bothersome was that check out was at 10 AM which felt a little bit early. Book your stay you won’t be disappointed.

Perfect Getaway

We have stayed at these cabins multiple times with the previous and new owners. We love it! You are tucked away in the Adirondacks and have plenty of things to do. This time we hiked Echo Cliffs, kayaked, rail bikes with Revolution Rail, and walk around the neighboring town, Specilator. It was peak season with the foliage and great weather. The owners are easy to contact if anything is needed, but give you everything you could possible need. The cabins are clean and well maintained. You have vests for kids, adults, even the dogs when you want to use the canoes. This is a great getaway and recommend to anyone!

Wonderful fully equipped cabin

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Yogi, the cabin was everything that was advertised. It was well-equipped, clean and convenient. The property manager was super responsive and helpful. Our family had a wonderful week, the location is close to many hikes and trails, and having the kayaks and canoes with access to the lake and river was so convenient. We will definitely be back and can’t say enough great things. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts!

A Comfortable and Cozy Cabin

We really enjoyed our stay. Weather was unfortunately poor, but we were able to do some hiking and made from great meals in the well appointed kitchen. We all slept fantastically - terrific mattresses! The cabin is situated closer to the street than the water, which was not as I'd envisioned, but not problematic. Host John was very helpful. If you're staying in Wells, this is a great place.

Cozy cabin

This property had everything we needed. Very clean! Plenty of blankets, towels, linens. The beds are kind of noisy and not super comfy but it didn't detract from the peaceful kayaking and great flat back yard. Loved the deer visiting every day and the turtles, ducks, geese and loons we saw when kayaking!! Even saw a bald eagle. Stunning.

Weekend family getaway

We loved everything about this cabin. It was very family friendly. Lots of board games and an adorable room for children. We brought up our 16 year old dog and she was comfortable. Covers for the sofa, dog bed and dishes provided. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend. The owners thought of everything to help feel like youre home.

Beautiful place!

Cabin was comfortable and just as the listing states. Best part was river access via the supplied canoes and kayaks so we can ride them the short trip to Algonquin lake! Highly recommend! We’d come back here year after year if there wasn’t so much of the ADK to see!
