About this property

Welcome to Wind in the Pines Cabin. There have been many updates but we have not changed the character of the cabin.

This summer, there are now available two single kayaks and a tandem kayak, along with carts, paddles and PFDs. There is a new gas grill and many outdoor games. The fire pit has been rebuilt and some new landscaping has been added. The internet has been upgraded to 50 mbps. The garage will also be available for guests to use to for lacked storage. So bring your bikes! We even have the tire pump!

The kitchen remodel has added new cabinets, more counter space, a full set of appliances (dishwasher!), new flooring and even a built in charging station.

There is new or refinished flooring throughout the cabin. The master now has a new queen bed. Pot lights have been added to the living room. The spacious porch now has a silent ceiling fan. The older storm doors have been replaced by new ones with retractable screens. Custom curtains and new screens were added to the windows.

There is central air conditioning for those sultry summer days.

We have also added new games, puzzles and books just for the children! There is a Blu-ray player, with a selection of DVDs, plus a Roku for those rainy days.

One change from last year, guests will need to bring their own bedding, bath and/or beach towels. We will still provide basic paper products. There is no longer an additional cleaning fee.

Come stay with us and enjoy the Southern Adirondacks!

30th anniversary

Beautiful area! Cute cabin, very comfortable. Very peaceful setting. We enjoyed our stay very much! The shower is a bit small and might be a concern for a larger individual, but worked fine for us.

Why they chose this property

We love the look and location of this cabin. Once we had a chance to see the charm and coziness of the interior, we knew that, with a little TLC, this could be a relaxing family retreat.

This is our second property in Wells and we are so happy that we can share its charm with you.

What makes this property unique

The cabin has an extra large lot, with views of Lake Algonquin. It is only a short walk to where the watercraft are launched, and to our Association's private sandy beach.
