About this property

Once you pass the neighbor's neglected maintenance property (after a house fire), take a moment to relax at this tranquil oasis located just off the shores of Augur Lake in Adirondack Park. This cabin offers a warm and welcoming environment for vacationers seeking to escape the hectic pace of everyday life. If you want to disconnect for a while, this is the perfect place; cell service is minimal, and there is no Wi-Fi. Augur Lake boasts an excellent fishery with a healthy population of pike, large and smallmouth bass, perch, and crappie. Personal watercrafts are not allowed on this lake, creating a peaceful atmosphere for those who enjoy spending their days paddling.

Augur Lake stay

A very comfortable cabin. Excellent base for Adirondack hiking and exploring. Multiple kayaks and a canoe are available for lake paddles. Kayak entry from water easier than from dock. Very well equipped kitchen and a Weber charcoal grill. We brought guide books and maps. Being unconnected from internet or cell coverage was OK but Wifi would have been useful to compare hiking routes or local restaurants etc in more detail. The Taco Temptation restaurant in Keeseville is good, as is Arnold's market for beer. Perhaps best to bring most of your own food and drink. The only real issue we had was the hot water, which took a long time to get hot and then would cut off after a few short minutes. It made showers and dishwashing a bit problematic. A drying rack for dishes would also be helpful. A vehicle with good ground clearance is best for Glomann road, which is steep and has some ruts and rocks.

Nice getaway.

The surrounding properties are rather dire, but the cabin was great. The deck could use some TLC. Dock was not kayak friendly, the nice neighbors allowed us to launch from theirs. Lake is awesome. Quiet and peaceful.

Thanks to the great communication and pleasant stay, the cabin was cozy, cute and quiet. There was another review that mentioned the water, I did not have any issues with the water in the shower. There was a drinking water machine that was extremely nice! Cabin was clean, and the host is amazing at communication & allowing your family pets! Thank you soo much for allowing us to stay!!

Disliked: Communication

If you like zero service (SOS) with no available WiFi and smelling worse coming out of the shower than going in, then this is the place for you. Also I hope the next customer gets the “welcome” email containing instructions because I didn’t. I also didn’t have the number for the owner to call but even if I did, I had no service to contact them. I had to drive 15 miles out to get in touch with Expedia to get the number (good luck with Expedia customer service). The water was yellow/brown and smelled God awful. A water tank with clean water is provided but you still need to wash your hands, brush your teeth, and shower and the water was putrid. If it weren’t for these 3 things, this place would have been great.

Fall in the Adirondack Mountains

First time in the Adirondacks and it was wonderful. The cabin is exactly as described and had everything we needed for our stay. The lake setting is so serene and peaceful. Definitely would recommend!

Auger lake cottage

Upon check in, we never received the code for the key. We had no service to contact the owner. I had to drive into town to get service to be able to contact her for the code for the key. I think we went up at a bad time as a tree service was chainsawing all day right behind our cottage. They’ve had a lot of rain up there and the dock in the lake for the kids was non existing. The deck to the cottage was very slippery when it rained because of the moss on the stairs l, which caused me to slip and fall down the stairs. We’ve been up there once before and had a really nice, peaceful stay. This time was not so pleasant. I wish I knew all the things before we made the trip up there.

Adirondacks

This is a very cute cabin to stay in. If you’re looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of life, it is great to disconnect from Wi-Fi and cell phone service. Even my teenagers wanted to go back and they did not miss electronics at all. Did have to walk a few feet to go to the lake but there’s still a gorgeous view and great fishing. The cabin had cooking amenities that we used over the stove and the outdoor fire ring. Would recommend!

Thank you

The property was in good condition and clean. We did enjoy our stay. However the property is not on the water, rather across the street. My impression from the description from the property booking was that we were on the water. It wasn’t until two days prior when I received the check-in information on the property that it gave a better description of where the property would be located. The walk to the water was short, however you had a small path between two different properties and not a good place just to hang out by the lake. This was a nice location for many of the hiking trails!

Quiet getaway

Stayed at this lake property for a weekend with my family. Had plenty of space for all of us, was clean, and had access to the lake which is gorgeous. The neighbors were friendly when my parents when out for a walk down the road. The lack of wifi and phone service forced us to disconnect, which was really nice. If you are looking for a remote, quiet getaway, this is a great place to do so.

Unfortunate Timing

The property was as described in the ad. Very clean...most everything we needed. We could not find any extra garbage bags, so just went to dollar store and bought our own. Unfortunately, I came down with a cold a few days before we were scheduled to arrive. Felt pretty down and out most of the time there. My husband got sick a few days in, so we basically ate, slept and coughed the whole time. No fault of the owners, just really bad timing. A waste of our vacation time, but the location would have been perfect had we felt up to doing anything.

Third time staying here, and the cabin is always cozy and has plenty of gear to allow you to enjoy the lake. We fish hard here, and always have a great time with the quality of fish and the natural beauty of the lake.
