Enjoy Summer in The Adirondacks at Ruby Hill Cabins
Newly constructed log sided cabin with all new appliances and furnishings. Private dock on Lake Algonquin and a three minute walk to the Town Beach .( we‘ll even provide a wagon to transport the kids and toys down to the beach). One mile from the boat launch.
One bathroom with tub and shower and washer/dryer. Fully furnished modern kitchen with stainless electric stove, microwave and refrigerator. Living room with 32' flat screen TV with built in DVD player, Dish Network, WiFi and furnished with unique Adirondack style furniture.
A full size screened in porch is perfect for reading, relaxing (or maybe napping) in the afternoon or a peaceful dinner in the evening. The kids will probably want to sleep out there so don't forget the air mattress and sleeping bags.
Take a short walk to Torts Ice Cream Shop or the Community Hall for tennis, pickle ball, basketball or the playground. Enjoy dinner at the Alpine Restaurant just a few miles south of town.
We are located about a 1 hour scenic drive to Lake George and The Great Escape Theme Park and the Adirondack Museum at Blue Mountain Lake so you can take a day trip and still return to the peace and quiet of your cabin in the woods.
We provide an ideal cabin for the family that wants to experience an Adirondack vacation in the woods with the convenience of nearby lake access, hiking, boating or just exploring. An experience that will keep you coming back year after year.

We had such a great time! The cabin was perfect for our family and in such a wonderful location. I have two 8 yr olds and a 10 yr old and our weekend getaway to this cabin was perfect. So many great kid friendly hiking trails near by, clean swim area and a clean and comfortable cabin to rest, read and play games. Owners are wonderful and we look forward to coming back in the future.
Cabin is perfect for our needs. Communication with owner fast and prompt when we had a question. Loved the use of the kayaks and canoe. Not too buggy for June. This is my 5th overall time at this cabin in as many years. Beautifully built cabin. Love the proximity to the Hamilton Mercantile for anything we needed that we may have forgotten and good pizza!!
We had a great time during our stay. The cabin was everything we were looking for. We enjoyed sitting around the fire and relaxing. The cabin was clean and supplied with everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely stay again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, spotlessly clean cabin. It is a short walk to the dock and the public beach. We enjoyed canoeing, taking scenic drives, and a nearby hike. Thank you, Gerry and Susan!
The property was pretty and private, with a beautiful view. Very quiet town. The cabin was clean, updated, and nicely decorated. Our kids loved sleeping in the loft! The owner was very friendly and checked in with us when we arrived. There was a storm the night before we were to check out and they had the driveway plowed quickly. They were also nice enough to offer a later check out time to make sure we could leave safely. Close to Oak Mountain for skiing!Definitely recommend!
We had a beautiful stay perfect cozy cabin. You are a bit of a drive from town but we wanted that and cooked our meals in house. Thank you to Gerry and Susan
Gerry is the best host I’ve ever met on VRBO. He is gracious and goes out of his way to make sure you have everything you need. Checked in with us to make sure everything was ok. The cabin is gorgeous and has a beach nearby along with a canoe and kayaks to use on the lake . Had the best time in Wells and will def be back. This was our second time coming here and you couldn’t ask for a better place to stay.
Our family of four had a wonderful long weekend stay! The cabin was perfect for our family and we enjoyed the canoe/kayaks provided. Nice little walk to little local beach. The front porch is great even if weather isn't cooperative. We celebrated 2 birthdays a d our anniversary on this trip. We are already looking to see when we can go back and maybe rent both cabins with some friends!
Our family wanted to get away from our normal, busy routine, before our daughter headed off to college. We all had a great time. The cabin is lovely. Gerry & Susan are kind and attentive. The bonus of having the canoes and kayaks available to guests added to our stay.
What a cute and well maintained cabin! The living room turned out to be a little smaller than we pictured, but it ended up being a blessing in disguise because then we spent less time watching TV and more time in the screened porch playing cards and talking. We also loved the convenience of the home between both stores and short walk to the dock and kayaks.
This was my second stay at this cabin. It was the perfect spot to enjoy the Adirondacks and be near water. My nephew found terrific fishing spots all around the area including right off the dock we were able to use. A canoe and kayaks were available to explore water and scenery. The firepit at night was wonderful and peaceful. Close to anything we wanted to go to but felt secluded in the woods. Also close to any number of hiking trails. Loved hiking Auger Falls for incredible scenery with little effort. I'm sure I'll be back again!
The cabin has the essentials and is tucked up the hill in a quiet spot. We stayed in Cabin A this time and have been in B prior. Cabin B definitely has a little bit more of a "private" feel as it's at the end of the lane but A is still a great spot. Gerry gave us a call shortly after we arrived to make sure we were settled and knew how to reach him. He also gave info on where to go and things to do which is always appreciated. He warned us that his dog might wander past for a visit and I'm a little sad I didn't get a chance to say hello :) It was cold so we didn't get a chance to get out on the lake but hiking was fabulous! We will be back again!
We really enjoyed our stay in the beautiful, well maintained and stocked cabin. The woodwork was magnificent and everything was comfortable. We loved enjoying our morning coffee on the screened in porch, took nice walks and saw so many bodies of water. About an hour to Lake George one day....The manager came to greet us on the first day and lived close in case we needed anything which we really didnt.....We make our own fun and nice place to do it.....Thanks
My wife and I had a lovely weeklong stay at Ruby Hill. The cabin was well-appointed, clean, and cozy, and our host Gerry was welcoming and gracious. There are days of great hikes to do nearby, as well as kayaks to explore the lake. It is south of Adirondack park, but being a little away from the tourist stuff was exactly what I was looking for! Visitors should be aware that there is no wifi at the camp, which for us was actually nice, but could prove tricky for people hoping to work remotely or further plan their travels using the internet. We hope we have a chance to return!
