Thank you so much, Amy! You are welcome back anytime. You were an amazing guest, and we appreciated the communication. I'm so glad that your family had a wonderful time.
This was one of the best places we’ve ever stayed at. Very clean, cozy, beautiful spot overlooking the river and was more than equipped with anything you might need. Being pet friendly, our pup enjoyed being with us on vacation!
Wonderful cabin in the middle of the Adirondacks! We loved our stay. The host was very attentive and has everything that you could possibly need as a home away from home. We'll be back for sure!
We had a wonderful stay at River Pines Cabin! The cabin was spotless, very spacious, and thoughtfully stocked with all the amenities you could possibly need. It was our family’s first winter trip with our 9- and 4-year-old, and the cabin was perfect—comfortable, cozy, and easy for traveling with kids. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax after winter adventures, and everything was well maintained and welcoming. We truly felt at home and would absolutely recommend River Pines Cabin to other families looking for a peaceful getaway in New York.

Our stay was absolutely amazing. The cabin and views around the river are astonishing. We had plenty of snow during the week, which made for a gorgeous winter wonderland.Sue is very attentive to any needs that arise. We would be delighted to stay here again.I can’t say enough good about the cabin, location and the owner. I’m looking forward to our next trip already.

The property was beautiful and worth the stay, gave everything you needed to feel welcomed. It felt like a home and the owners were beyond friendly. Inwpuld be definitely honored to return
Super impressed with the cleanliness of the property and preparation done for guests and their pets. Communication with the owners and property manager was pleasant, with quick response time and knowledge of the area. The cabin itself paired with its location on the river provided a perfect get-away for us!
All I can say is “Wow”! This cabin is so beautiful and cozy and relaxing! The views of the river in the backyard is stunning! The hosts have everything you would ever need! You can tell they put so much thought into every detail! We will absolutely be back!!
River music all day and night. Lovely, super clean and extremely well stocked cabin in the woods. Great North Woods decor really makes you feel at home. Didn't need for anything. Had sunny skies for most of the week. Visited wife's Alma mata, St Lawrence University. Thanks for sharing your beautiful place.
This was a very nice cabin that was functional with great qualities like an open kitchen/living space, a desk space so I could easily do a little work and a back porch with a view of the river. My wife and I enjoyed staying here.

Thank you for staying with us Daniel! We're glad you and your wife enjoyed your stay. We look forward to hosting you again!
The property is new and well appointed. The extras were much appreciated! The hosts have notes in and around the house pointing out complimentary toiletries, phone chargers, tv specifics etc., very helpful. The beds were very comfortable, the outside was very tidy with complimentary fire wood, chairs, bug spray and grilling tools! The view and sound of the river were so peaceful. Definitely go to Mary’s Dairy for frozen custard, it’s the best we’ve ever had.

Thank you for your review Sarah, we are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time! We consider anything less than a 10/10 as a failure, please feel free to let us know what we could have done for a 10/10 stay!
What an amazing property! Hospitality was 10/10! This cabin truly has everything you need. The decor is amazing and so clean. The outdoor property is stunning as well. We had the best time with our fur babies and loved the welcome basket! Thank you for hosting us!

Beautiful, peaceful location. The view of the river is spectacular. The house is sparkling clean and has everything you need. We drove 30 minutes to go for a winter hike, also beautiful. Wonderful weekend trip.

Private cabin tucked in the woods over-looking the river. Cabin was stocked with plenty of extra items and treats for the renters and their furry friends.
I will/would stay at this place again. Next time, hopefully during trout season for some fly fishing.

My family had a wonderful stay at the cabin on the river. The owners were very accommodating and responsive. Everything was clean, and every detail was so well thought out. Our dog Rudy had so much fun playing with the kids in the snow! The view and the sound of the river from the cabin were amazing!

We're so glad you had a good time and enjoyed the Cabin. You're welcome back anytime!
Beautiful and peaceful location with the river right outside the back door (and a nice, easy-to-access path down to the river). The cabin is spotless with every need thoughtfully covered, and the location is private yet not isolated. We used the cabin as our home base to travel around the Adirondacks to our favorites spots from over the years, while also enjoying local. Quick trip to Old Forge, and Tupper Lake isn't far away either. Lake Placid area is ~2.5 hrs.

We are so pleased to hear that you found the perfect getaway to stay while you explore! You are welcome back anytime Micheline!
What a beautiful home on an awe inspiring location on the river. The house is very comfortable with a lot of little touches from the owner to really make you feel at home. The property was great, from the back porch overlooking the water, to the fire pit, and the trails leading down to the water. We checked out a few local attactions on the way to our stay with the intention of going out and exploring more each day we were there. However, we were so enthralled by the property we spent most days sitting by the fire listening to the river and playing with the dogs. We had a great, realxing, trip thanks to this house and property and all that the owners have done to make us feel welcome and comfortable.

It sounds like you had the perfect escape! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed the extra touches and the scenery to make your stay more enjoyable. We hope to host you again in the future!
We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and Valentine's Day. The cabin is gorgeous. The hosts were extremely friendly and very responsive. They've taken such great care all round to have everything you can possibly imagine for your stay. The property is beautiful and especially picturesque with all the snow surrounding it. We had a couple wintery evening fires and cooked on the grill. The cabin is so cozy and warm inside. The fireplace is beautiful. The furniture is all very comfortable. There are several decent places around to eat. The locals are all incredibly friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were able to relax and restore. Five star all round for this wonderful place.

Thank you for appreciating the beautiful nature!
We had the best family Christmas vacation at this property. The property was beautifully situated off the roadway amongst a forest of trees and on the banks of a beautiful river. The snow glistened on the property and off the river giving us an ideal setting for Christmas. The home was amazing. Gorgeous cathedral ceilings, large bedrooms, and well-appointed baths. The baths and kitchen were more than sufficiently stocked with anything you could possibly need. The hosts went over and above in every way and met every need. Throughout the process, Sue and Rick were always a text away. They also left Christmas presents for each one of us and our dogs. This is an A location, home, and experience, and one I hope we can revisit again. Thanks again, Sue and Rick. Donna & Miles & family.

We had a wonderful getaway at The River Pines. So cozy and serene for our family and Boston Terrier. We enjoyed being outside with the beautiful views and sounds of the river and trees as well as snuggling up indoors for games and movies. Just what we needed for our spring break!

About the host
Hosted by Susan and Thomas Schulz
My husband, Tom, and I (Sue) travel much! We live in PA but fell in love with NY Adirondacks area. We decided to build in late 2019, but many roadblocks pushed construction back. Finally, in 2023 we finished our home away from home!
We love watching the eagles and river otters when they decide to visit, the sunrise over the river and the deer that frequent the driveway.
Our border collies live for fetching their Frisbees while running around the grassy area and through the 3 acres of woods. They often walk with us down the quick trail to the river so we can sit on rocks and listen to river sounds.
We want to share this with you and hope you fall in love with NY nature, too.
Why they chose this property
The river sounds, privacy and kindness of all the local residents make this place special!
What makes this property unique
We enjoy road trips and our cabin is close enough to both local fun and beautiful day trips.
