Relaxing

Relaxing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Adirondack cottage as we celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary. The cottage was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully laid out. The kitchen was the perfect size and featured high-quality appliances, along with all the amenities we needed during our stay. Everything was well-maintained and contributed to a truly relaxing experience. Even our little dog Penny, seemed completely at ease and relaxed, making the stay enjoyable for the whole family. It was the perfect place.

Immersed in nature

The Adirondack Cottage is uniquely designed to allow one to be immersed in nature. The vaulted ceiling, abundant windows and being nestled among the trees, truly gave you the feeling of being in a treehouse. However, it is not a rustic treehouse but one that was carefully built and decorated with style. The kitchen included great appliances, light fixtures, countertops and cooking utensils. The living and dining area was small but cozy. The bedroom was comfortable and the walk-in shower was refreshing. It was very convenient to town and after a day of hiking and viewing waterfalls, the cottage was a welcomed retreat at the end of the day. My wife and I truly enjoyed our fall getaway. Hope to return soon.

Always Fabulous!

Closet thing to have having a second home… Linens are clean, decor is familiar and the kitchen is always stocked with all you need to cook or bake. There’s always a room to read a good book & close enough to walk into town to make a priceless memory.

Perfect!

We absolutely loved this cottage. It was cozy and comfortable and its location was close enough for us to walk to shops, restaurants and in-town hikes. We spent many hours on the porch amidst the laurels and amazing mountain air. It was just what the doctor ordered. We are hoping to repeat our visit next year. Many thanks!

We loved staying in Adirondack cottage,

Adirondack is a " must stay in" cottage. It is well appointed with amenities, cozy yet roomy and is in walking distance to Main Street. There are plenty of books if you want to relax on the deck and read. Or you can enjoy the convenient location to shopping and eating. We definitely plan to return here again.

Artistic Retreat

My stay in Adirondack Cottage was truly magical. After full days of working in the Bascom Art Center, it was such a delight to return to the cozy cottage which quickly felt like home. All the amenities were top notch, and I felt pampered and relaxed. I am looking forward to returning to this little jewel box home!

Cozy perfection

Our stay at the Adirondack Cottage was truly exceptional, offering the perfect blend of relaxation and convenience. The cottage was clean, the kitchen was well-stocked for cooking, and it was exactly as pictured, providing a comfortable and welcoming home-away-from-home. The location was ideal, with a peaceful setting, yet just a short drive from local shops, restaurants, and waterfalls. We will book again.

Beautiful cottage with a short walk to town

The Adirondack Cottage was everything we hoped it would be for a quick getaway! It's super comfortable, beautifully decorated, quiet & serene, and also close to town. We loved having coffee on the front porch each morning and the proximity to town and the nearby hikes. We had a lovely stay and will definitely be back!

Fabulous stay in this well-appointed cottage

My husband and I enjoyed six days in the beautiful Adirondack Cottage with our golden retriever. We enjoyed easy access to area hiking trails each day, and this cottage was a welcome oasis at the end of each day. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. The living area was cosy and relaxing. The bed was delightfully comfortable. Every square inch of the cottage is thoughtfully and tastefully decorated with high-end and durable furnishings. We intend to come back; this place exceeded our expectations in every way.
