Nice Base in Willmington

The Chalet was a great location to base my hiking trip. Loved that I could sit and hear the river below but also get a pizza or gas easily in Wilmington. Cabin was clean and just as advertised and had everything i needed for a great stay. Johnathon was very helpful when needed and I had a great stay. Would definitely come again!

The perfect getaway

We rented this property multiple times so far and each time we get to know and love it even more. The views and overall atmosphere keep us coming back but overall the experience is always amazing. The cleanliness is something to make note of as well, the cleaning staff do a great job because each time we have rented this location it was obvious that they put a lot of time in to making the place feel clean and comfortable. Always a very high recommendation.

Perfect location

The cabin was very clean and had everything you could need. The location is perfect, it feels isolated yet it’s close to prime hiking trails and close to lake placid. This was our second time staying here and will definitely be back again.

Log Cabin Stay

We have enjoyed our stay at the log cabin on the river. It has a very good view of the mountains as well as the river. The place is extremely clean and cozy. Also close to Whiteface.

Perfect ADK experience

Great location, beautiful log home, my wife and I had a wonderful stay. On the water, near Whiteface, close to town, and very private, a great feeling on both of the back decks looking at the mountains. Immediate response from owner when contacted, can't wait to go back.

Classic rustic cabin design

Cabin design reminded me of a family cabin from 60 years ago. Many rustic interior design elements that added to the feel. Great location for fishing, golfing, hiking and relaxing. Owner was very responsive. Great spot for fly fishing. Would like to return.

An outstanding Adirondack experience

Definitely a home built with pride of place...the style, the quality, the location all reflect the beauty of the High Peaks. We spent the entire week within a ten-mile radius, including one day at "home". Very special!

Fantastic house, amazing location

We have vacationed in the high peaks region many times over the past five years and this was by far the best. The house is as beautiful as it is in the pictures but the location is even better. The views of the mountains and the sounds of the river really make this a unique vacation spot. Also, the owner is very helpful and responsive. Thanks, Johnathan.

Perfect!

This house and our stay was fantastic. We came and stayed for our wedding and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The house is nicely Decorated and tucked back in the trees on a beautiful property. After our wedding we enjoyed taking our own pictures at the end of the day down by the water and up on the balcony with gorgeous views. 10/10 everything was great and we highly recommend!

I'm a full time Adirondack and Icelandic photographer, and an Adirondack native. In this charming Adirondack log home I helped build, I incorporated as many logs and Adirondack rustic styled elements as I could, recalling with fondness my family's log house I grew up in. Enjoy your time here in the Adirondacks!
