Delightful; close enough to hiking trails of the High Peaks with a one mile loop around Eaton Lake a 5' walk away; thermostats in almost every room; highly responsive hosts. Thank you!
This was our second stay at Cairn Cabin. We love it! The kitchen is well-stocked, the beds are comfy and the group areas are all beautifully furnished and comfortable. We love sitting in the fire pit area with a warm fire, and sitting on the deck, enjoying the fall colors. We’ll be back again!
The cottage was as described in general. There was no canoe, which was disappointing. But, overall we enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for choosing our cabin and for your feedback. I'm sorry for any confusion regarding the amenities. Our listing clearly lists that there are two kayaks and multiple life jackets available for guests, and I did let you know that when you reached out to inquire. We do not advertise having a canoe.
This is definitely a great place to stay if you’re looking to get away. Very peaceful and quiet but also very close to the high peaks as well as trails.
This is a great property in a very cozy and private setting, very good location for hikers, bikers and fly fisherman. The place was clean, exactly as described and the owners very fantastic to deal with and responded very quickly.

Thank you for your kind review! We are sorry we didnt earn a five-star rating and will certainly look around for ways to make our guests' stays as perfect as possible. We hope your adventures continue and we cross paths again some day.
Cairn Cabin was perfect for our week long getaway. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, exploring the trails around the lake, and breakfast at the Adirondack Mountain Coffee Cafe. The cabin had everything we needed, and the internet connection was good when we needed it. We hope to stay again soon!
We were completely happy with Cairn Cabin. Every room was inviting, comfortable, and well decorated. Hiking trails were close by, and the cabin was very private. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, and the ping pong table and yoga room downstairs were a plus. Highly recommended.
Was looking for a weekend getaway and this house was perfect. Deb was friendly and very easy to work with. If ever in the area again will definitely stay there again.
