We loved this place. It was very clean and cozy. Our dog loved being able to swim in the pond and roam freely. We were able to take the canoe out and walk the trails and enjoy the fall foliage. It’s super peaceful and beautiful!

What an amazing time. The cottage was clean and very cute. The dogs had a great time swimming and looking for frogs. We enjoyed the nearby lakes for swimming and found some nice hiking trails nearby. Can't wait to visit again with family

We had the most amazing stay at this cabin! It was the perfect getaway for my two boys that are on the autism spectrum. Being away from the noise and distractions of everyday life, with no cell service or WiFi, gave us the opportunity to truly slow down and enjoy each other. We spent our days canoeing, fishing, swimming, hiking, and exploring, and our evenings around the fire making s’mores with the dogs. 🛶The peaceful surroundings and privacy gave my boys the freedom to just be themselves and enjoy everything at their own pace. Watching them laugh, explore, and find their happy place together was something I’ll never forget.This cabin gave us more than a vacation; it gave us quality time, beautiful memories, and a chance to reconnect as a family. We are already looking forward to coming back! Highly recommend this cabin to any family looking for a peaceful, private getaway.

This is a classic Adirondack camp that through love and attention to detail by the wonderful hosts has truly earned the title of Adirondack Cottage. Very clean, welcoming, and has all those little things you dont think about until you need it.

Thank you for your review. Dan and I have had the Cottage for about 22 years now and we’ve loved every moment of it. It’s a wonderful way to meet new people as it is pretty secluded up here. Next spring, we are hoping to redo the whole front porch with much nicer windows, so everyone can enjoy the magical view provided by nature. Our nightly rate has not changed in the 22 years of ownership :) Carol~

Had a very relaxing weekend! You can tell Carol and Dan really care for this place and aren't in it for the money. The cottage was surprisingly modern, very clean and well stocked with kitchen stuff, linens, and pet stuff. They also provide many movies, books, games, and puzzles. Other reviews are correct that this place has everything you could need, plus more. We really enjoyed the popcorn maker!Our dogs loved exploring the woods around the property and wading in the pond. We even took them out in the rowboat. We enjoyed the screen/sun porch. The hammock chair is very comfy! Spent many hours just sitting there enjoying the view. Expected to see more wildlife, but maybe it's still early in the year and a bit too cool.Carol was very easy to communicate with and answered some questions before we even asked. You can tell they are experiened hosts. We will definitely be repeat visitors!

Affordable , secluded, beautiful cottage with everything you need! Twenty min drive from town. Definitely a change for my family with a weekend away from the internet but was much needed! Snowmobiling trails right from the cottage were amazing. Aside from the fact my 2up caught on fire, Dan and Carol were amazing through it all. Very welcoming, caring, and made my family feel at ease through the chaos! We were so glad to have a charming cottage to come back to! We cannot wait to stay again, this time for ATV riding!

This was a wonderful place to stay. The owners are caring and attentive with good communication. The cottage is well appointed and dog friendly. Beds are comfy! Big bang for your buck. We had a mid-November stay for rest and relaxation without any plans to do anything. Nice paths near-by, beautiful private pond, quiet spot away from the road, would be extra lovely in Summer and Autumn weather. Kitchen very nice to use. Good bathroom. Definitely would stay here again.
