About this property

Keene Cozy Cottage in the Heart of the Adirondack Mountains!

Welcome to the Cozy Cottage in the Heart of the Adirondack Mountains! It's nice to go away and feel at home. The cottage features a knotty-pine living room with a large leather couch (not a pull-out sleeper). The well-equipped kitchen contains a full refrigerator/freezer, microwave, x-large toaster oven, toaster, coffee maker, glassware, silverware, plates, pots, pans, utensils, blender, crock pot, etc. The bathroom has a shower unit (no bathtub). The separate bedroom contains a queen-size bed with plenty of closet storage and dresser to unpack your suitcases, put everything away, relax, head out and enjoy. For your convenience, there is a compact washing machine, although small, to clean your clothes; plus electric clothes dryer.

When a reply is sent that the cottage is available, the website will automatically send you an email requesting payment of one-half of the total to be sent in advance to confirm the reservation. There will be a 48-hour hold on your requested dates to allow you time to complete details on your end. The one-half payment can be paid by credit card through this website. When the website sends a request for the one-half payment, you will notice a 'service fee' has been added to the quoted amount. This fee goes directly to the website. When I receive notice of your payment, I will send you an email to provide you with information regarding key retrieval, directions, etc.

Your well-behaved pet is welcome, but you will be responsible for clean-up and damage due to your pet. Out of courtesy to others, I prefer pets not be allowed on the couch or bed but understand they do this at home. I have a couch cover in the closet that can be placed on the couch so there will not be damage to the leather. If your dog enjoys sleeping on the bed, please place a sheet covering the bed. Also, please bring your pet's food/water bowls plus their bedding and a towel. There is a small back yard behind the cottage to walk your dog or the corner property is an empty, open space and you can let your dog enjoy this space. Please do not let your dog walk on neighboring properties.

The cottage is very well equipped and contains everything you need, other than your personal belongings and food/drink. There is a convenience store within walking distance which makes going out for forgotten or wanted items very easy without having to get back in the car & drive. There are several very good restaurants and shops either within walking distance or a short drive away. The scenery is beautiful.

You are welcome to have guests visit but no overnight stays.

Thank you for looking at this listing. I hope to hear from you.  

P.S.  Due to internet interruptions, if you email me and do not receive a reply within 24 hours, please give me a call and leave a message.

Hi Bradley, I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay. Since our schedules did not mesh, I'm glad your self check-in/check-out worked great. I'm glad you were here, not only to climb the Adirondack Mountains but also enjoy Lake Placid Ironman 2018! I do hope to see you another time on your return to the Adirondack Mountain!

Hi Daniel, I'm so glad that you and your wife enjoyed your stay at the cottage and your time in The Adirondack Mountains. Of course, after you left, we did get approx. 5" of snow! I agree with you and do wish I could make the shower larger. I hope to see you again. Regards, Dorothy

A great home base in the mountains

Stayed here for a long weekend of hiking and it was the perfect home base for our adventures. Plenty of room, comfortable furnishings, all the amenities you need, an ideal location close to trail heads, stores, restaurants. We'll be back!

Hi Karine & Jeff, You certainly did some marathon hiking! I'm glad you had good weather. Only a few more mountains to go until you reach your '46er! It was a pleasure to meet you and your hiking buddy Della.
