Very cozy cabin in the woods right next to the creek. The cabin had everything you need. It felt very private and quiet and centrally located for High Peak hikes. We enjoyed our stay and can't wait to return!

This cabin was absolutely beautiful—both cozy and inviting. Nestled along John’s Brook, it offers easy access to several trailheads and is just a short walk to the charming town of Keene Valley. The space was spotless, thoughtfully equipped, and stocked with amenities that made us wish we could extend our stay beyond the long weekend. It comfortably sleeps four, with plenty of room for everyone. We were warmly welcomed upon our arrival with soft lighting, logs in the fireplace ready to burn, and a thoughtful card accompanied by cookies. Communication was excellent from start to finish—we truly could not have asked for a better experience. Absolutely top-notch!

Great place to unwind

My husband and I were looking for a quiet place to relax and this was perfect. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the cabin and spent many hours outside listening to the sound of the water flowing nearby. Communication was great and the cabin is well-stocked with kitchen and laundry items. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful cabin

We had a fantastic stay at the Brookside Cabin -- two adults and two teenagers, up primarily to hike. Cabin was very clean and comfortable. Beautiful setting amongst the trees, alongside John's Brook. Only 1 mile from the Garden parking lot/trailhead, and easy access to the Keene Valley and Lake Placid. We hope to stay there again.

Perfect location!

Great location backing up to Johns Brook. Leanto is great for a campfire and private view of Brook. House was very clean and perfect size for our family of 4. Quick access to several high peak trailheads and Lake Placid town. Would definitely rent again without hesitation.

Perfect Stay!

We've now stayed at the cabin multiple times over the years. Extremely comfortable and cozy. Feels very secluded but easy access to a few great eating spots in Keene Valley (Ausable Inn, Noonmark Diner, etc.). The accommodations are very comfortable - especially love the heated floors! In spite of smaller size, it very easily accommodates our 13 and 15 yr old children up in the loft with the trundle pull out bed. The location is a great jumping off point for High Peaks hikes and checking out Lake Placid and surrounding area. We look forward to going again and again!

The Cabin was so cozy! Downstairs bedroom was clean and comfortable. They had a whole handbook of info to know, essentials for cooking and a laundry station. Wifi was minimal so I wouldn't plan on working or streaming here!

One of the best VRBO experiences we have ever had!

We arrived at the property to find music softly playing, twinkle lights on the fireplace mantle, fresh flowers in every room and a wonderful basket of goodies that included homemade cookies and a welcoming note. Our cabin was just what we needed for a week of peace and quiet; enjoying afternoons in front of the fire. We cooked most meals in and had everything you would need and more! I couldn't recommend this cabin more highly and will definitely keep it on my "must return to" list. Thank you for making our stay so special.
