We stayed at Bear Cabin over Labor Day Weekend, 2026. The cabin was clean and well-stocked. While it seemed at first a bit tight for three adults and a Labrador retriever, we got used to the space quickly. The view is gorgeous, and it’s nice being next to the Town Beach. Having watercraft available to go out in the lake whenever you want is a big plus, as is the view of the sunrises and sunsets. And yes, Highway 86 is right there, But while it detracts from the lake vibe somewhat (again, you get used to it), that also means you can be downtown in three minutes. Leo and Claudia checked in on us regularly to make sure everything was OK. I would definitely rent from them again.

A Cozy Adirondack Escape We traveled up from the Hudson Valley to soak in the beautiful Adirondack fall foliage and enjoy some hiking with our dog. While Mother Nature had other plans and treated us to a rather rainy getaway, it turned out to be the perfect excuse to slow down, settle in, and enjoy the wonderful cabin!We stayed in Bear Cabin, a charming two-bedroom, one-bath retreat that was every bit as cozy and inviting as we had hoped. The generously sized, well-equipped kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals, and the comfortable sitting area, complete with a gas fireplace and a large picture window overlooking the lake, made staying in feel like a treat rather than a compromise. There is something pretty special about watching the rain fall over an Adirondack lake from the warmth of a cozy cabin.What made the experience even better were our hosts, Leo and Claudia. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent, and they made it clear that they were readily available should we need anything. Their genuine hospitality and attention to their guests’ comfort were evident throughout our stay. It’s clear that they truly care about creating a wonderful experience for everyone who visits.We’ve already recommended the cabins to friends, and there’s no question we’ll be returning ourselves. Rain or shine, this is a little Adirondack gem worth revisiting!

Great place to stay in the ADK!

My wife and I really enjoyed the location. We stayed at the “Bear” cabin and this was perfect for our weekend of leaf peeping and mountain hiking. Availability of canoes, kayaks, and row boats is a great bonus. We would definitely stay at the property again!

Great Bear Cabin!

We loved the Bear Cabin and the extensive bear theming that made it feel special. Great location within longer walking distance to the town. Was easy to get the available boats on the water and great lake views!
