About this property

Secluded, Furnished, Log Home, Close To Many Adirondack Attractions.

*****Note*** September 2023***** Last spring we replaced the woodstove with a brand new unit. We recently replaced all of the beds with brand new frames, mattresses and box springs. We also upgraded the kitchen and now have a complete set of GreenPan Cookware. In case you've never heard of it, it's great stuff! We also have recently refinished the floor and upgraded the heating system, which probably doesn't matter to you, but we are excited about it. :)

****WE ACCEPT PETS OVER 20 POUNDS!**** There's some kind of glitch in VRBO that shows we do not.

Enjoy the Adirondack lifestyle in this brand new, secluded log cabin. Located at the end of a 150 foot driveway on a quiet road in “Ausable Acres”, the Cayuga Cabin provides a quiet getaway but is close to all the High Peaks attractions. If a half a dozen cars go by, thats a busy day. Pets are welcome.

The Cayuga Cabin comes completely furnished for any length stay - full kitchen with great cookware, dishwasher and clothes washer/dryer, gas grill and even a whirlpool tub, located in the main bath, are on the premises. Two TV’s with cable make the Cayuga Cabin very family friendly. There are two bedrooms on the main floor, one with a queen, the other a double. There are two singles in the loft. Second full bath is in the basement.

The Cayuga Cabin is a 5 minute walk to fishing access in the renowned West Branch of the Ausable River and 20 minutes to Whiteface Mountain, Santa’s Workshop and High Falls Gorge. The Olympic Village of Lake Placid is less than 25 minutes as is Ausable Chasm – the nation’s oldest natural attraction. Montreal, Quebec and Burlington, Vermont are easy day trips. The finest hiking, biking, fishing, canoeing and cross-country skiing in the High Peaks are all at your fingertips. When you come home from a day of Adirondack adventure relax on the spacious deck or in the whirlpool tub.

Within the Ausable Acres development you have access to several hiking and cross-country skiing trails, tennis courts and the Lake Eaton Picnic & Playground area. For the golfer there are 6 courses ranging from 30 to 60 minutes away.

10 minutes away is the “Jay swimming hole” on the East Branch of the Ausable River which was listed in Sports Illustrated as on of the top 10 swimming holes in the US. This is also the site of the Jay Covered Bridge, recently refurbished and a beautiful place to spend an afternoon.

Nice Chalet for a Short Stay

Chalet is very cozy and is a great space for a family or friends gathering. Kitchen has all the implements you need and had good heating for cold weather. House is only 20 minutes away from Whiteface Mountain and 30 minutes to the Village of Lake Placid.

Perfect quiet winter weekend

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin for a long weekend. It was so quiet and secluded, but still close enough to attractions like Lake Placid and Whiteface so it felt like there was plenty to do. I’m hoping we can come back some day during the warmer weather months and do lots of the hiking trails in the area!

Peaceful weekend getaway

This property is just what my family needed to get away for the weekend. It is located in a secluded area with beautiful mother nature surrounding you. Great memories for my entire family- campfires, smores, tons of natures critters. Great time to reset and decompress from all the stressors in life 💗

Peace and Quiet

The number one thing I loved about this property was the absolute quiet of the area. If you want to get away from it all - sit by the fire, read and just enjoy nature in quiet this cabin is for you. Close enough to shops and attractions - you get a nice balance of solitude and things to do. Easy check in/out process. Will come back!

Quiet Quaint and Well Equipped

Property is fairly secluded without being too far from civilization. Having two bathrooms was a huge plus with a large group. Well appointed kitchen and the fire pit with wood provided was great. Owners friendly and quick responses to questions. Surprised us at check in with a bottle of champagne because I let them know we were eloping at sunrise on a local mountain. Went above and beyond as hosts! We had a great stay and would definitely book again!

nice size with needed amenities

Location and size of cabin was good for our family of four. We enjoyed using it for a homebase to local hiking and fishing on Lake Champlain. Cabin had all amenities and was well stocked. The extra bathroom in the basement was nice. However, the furniture in the living area did not comfortably accommodate the four of us. Unfortunately, we also did not find it to be very clean, but was able to find and use cleaning appliances and products to make it more comfortable.

A wonderful getaway

If you are looking for quiet and peaceful this is the place. Secluded and very relaxing area with more deer than people around. The cabin is spacious and clean, with basically everything you need. All appliances worked well. The fireplace is large and generously stocked with firewood. Full size bathroom with an extra bathroom in the basement that came in handy a few times. The beds were comfortable, and the ceiling fans in each bedroom was nice for air circulation at night. AC in the loft also helped when needed. The owners were extremely easy to work with and super friendly. Would be happy to return again.

Christmas getaway

Nice place 1/2 hr from Lake Placid. Ice storm while there and property owners answered quickly to have sander arrive. Would have helped to have sand available for steps and walking area around parking spots as it was quite slippery. Kitchen sink faucet needs attention hard to turn off

Lake Placid Vacation

Overall it was reasonably priced. Great location and an easy drive to all the touristy things to do in the area. In one location on VRBO it read “hot tub” but in other locations it read jetted tub. It’s a jetted bath tub, normal size for a tub. Second bathroom is in basement and the same room as utility/laundry room. The shower in the basement is very small. For short people like me, not an issue, but for my husband it was a bit difficult. We realize it’s a cabin that may not always get rented out. However we did have to rewash all the pots/pans and the stove (did a heavy cleaning in bottom stove drawer and around burners for caked on debris and rodent droppings), as well as the inside of all of the bedroom drawers due to rodent droppings. Mice had also made a bed in a box of Kleenexes in one of the rooms. Again, with cabins we understood mice would get in from time to time, so that wasn’t an issue. It was more so that in the stove drawer for example, there was A LOT. Overall it’s a super cute cabin, tucked away and a great get a way.

The cabin was very cozy and clean. We were even gifted a bottle of prosecco by the hosts for our 1 year wedding anniversary! the wood stove and big windows really made us feel at home. I did wish there were curtains for the sliding glass door for privacy and warmth, as all the other windows had curtains. Also, I understand this is a rural area, but it did make us a bit uneasy to know the cabin had been left unlocked before check-in.

About the host

Hosted by Rick & Sue

Host profile image
My wife Sue and I moved into the Adirondacks in 2002 after living on the shores of Lake Champlain in Plattsburgh, NY for 10 years. Not a bad place to live at all but it was time for a change. We fell in love with the Adirondacks, and specifically 'Ausable Acres' on our first visit. You will too. It is quiet, wooded with wildlife everywhere.

Why they chose this property

We purchased the undeveloped lot in 2004 and completed our log home in 2006. We are very proud of ourselves :) We take great satisfaction in the complements we get from our most wonderful past guests.

What makes this property unique

The Cayuga Cabin is completely furnished. The kitchen is equipped with all pots, pans, utensils right down to coffee filters and dish-washing detergent. All linens and towels are provided as is toilet paper, paper towel and tissues along with bottled hand soap. There is a washer & dryer and detergent in the 2nd bathroom. All you need to bring are clothes & food! We also have an outdoor shower and provide wood for the woodstove and outdoor firepit.
