Why Richard Dechene chose Adirondack Mountains
The Honeymoon has been helping guest create beautiful memories for over 100 years. It is located on the former Deerland Lodge property, a resort from the turn of the last century. It has been renovated to have modern conveniences with old world charm. An enclosed iron tub provides a perfect spot for a bubble bath after a long hike or day lounging on the dock.

A Perfect Little Cottage on the Lake!
We had a wonderful time at the Honeymoon cottage. The cottage is just the right size for a couple and it oozes old world Adirondack charm, from the wood paneling to the cozy and comfortable furnishings. The views are spectacular from just about every vantage point—from the dock and outside sitting areas when the weather permits, and from the enclosed deck and kitchen when it does not. Richard and Hillarie are wonderful hosts, ready and willing to answer any questions about the area and very responsive to any issues that may arise. At one point during our stay there was a problem with the hot water tank; not only did they get the ball rolling for an immediate fix but told us when they were coming, what was going to happen, and how long it would take. Their goal was to be accommodating and responsive, but at the same time as un-intrusive as possible. We highly recommend this beautiful little cottage, and can’t wait to return!
And that outdoor shower is just about the best thing in the whole world.
Great stay!
Crystal-clear mornings, breezy summer days, cool moonlit nights. A great spot with congenial hosts and superb accommodations!
This is the perfect place if you like things a little rustic yet oh so comfortable. Amazing!
This lovely little cottage was just the right size for me, my wife, and our son. It's so close to the water. From the screened porch you feel like you are floating over Long Lake. The water access is safe for kids too. A deck you can do canonballs from, but also a beach with shallow water for those who prefer to wade.
The inside is covered with lovely wooden wainscoting. A lovely little kitchen with all the basics and the most amazing view of the lake. A cozy gas stove in the living room for cold nights. A beautiful bathroom with an enclosed tub and a bonus outdoor shower (with hot water).
Outside there is plenty of space with a picnic table, fire pit, and a hammock. Great place to hang out and just take it all in.
Richard came by to greet us and make sure we were all set. He lives nearby, but gave us total privacy.
If I have to say anything slightly negative...although maybe it's just because I'm old...the futon in the living room is pretty hard and uncomfortable to sleep on. The queen bed in the main bedroom is excellent. Just something to be aware of.
Thank you Richard and Hillarie for the wonderful experience!
Wonderful cozy cottage
We very much enjoyed our stay at The Honeymoon Cottage. It is charming, very clean, and perfect for a couple's getaway. Prudence was very helpful in orienting us to the cottage and kayaking on the lake when we arrived. The lake water was still high from the spring melt, so there wasn't a beach, but we were encouraged to store our kayaks on the dock. Since we have only launched from a shore, we had the opportunity to learn how to enter and exit our kayaks from a dock. The cottage location at Long Lake is perfect for side trips to Tupper Lake, Blue Mountain Lake, Lake Placid, Wilmington, and lots of others. And when we weren't visiting other places, we enjoyed relaxing on the screened in porch or by the gas powered wood stove. Thank you for a wonderful week, Richard, Hillarie, and Prudence!
Beautiful views and relaxing!
We had a great stay at the Honeymoon cottage. It was very clean and well appointed. We brought our canoe and it was an easy launch off of the dock situated right in front of the cottage. The views are spectacular, the fishing was great and the cottage had everything we needed. We would not hesitate to come again!
Peaceful ever altering view of the beautiful Long Lake
We've been coming to the Honeymoon Cottage for at least 3 years: a week in early May and a week in early October. As close to Nirvana as either of us is likely to get. We love the site, the whole Adirondack area. Look forward to many returns!
