Serene, rustic 4-season cabin on 7 acres in the Adirondack Park, tucked between the Ausable River and Jay Mountain, just 5 miles from Whiteface Ski Resort and 20 minutes from Lake Placid. (Ironman competitors and fans love this location on the bike course.) Around the corner from Adirondack Mountain Cafe and delicious Ice Jam Inn (walkable). Private trail leads to stunning views overlooking a beaver pond with High Peaks natural beauty all around. Your homey kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, utensils and dishes for large groups - plus the gas grill outside. Your Adirondack-themed dining table provides plenty of seating for family-style meals. Unwind in the cozy living room, warmed by a large fieldstone fireplace (and mini-split heat/cool). Play darts, ping pong, air hockey, and foosball in your game room. Enjoy mountain views from the screen porch or the outdoor fire pit. River across the street is perfect for fishing or cooling off in summer (portable A/C units, too). WiFi internet provided and large flat-screen TV with HDMI cable (BYOD). Four bedrooms. 1.5 baths. Sleeps 9! Pet friendly. No smoking. Shared 500’ driveway serves four homes, including the barn next door (which can be rented separately). Happily hosting guests since 2016!
2024 Iron Man guests: "The chalet was exactly what my family needed. Matt was very accommodating regarding our guest count. The walking trails and access to the river were amazing. The house was very cozy, spacious and plenty of room. The screened in porch was perfect." 4 stars
2024 Solar Eclipse guests: "The property was a perfect place to experience the solar eclipse totality! The common area and kitchen provided space for my family to relax, stay connected by WiFi, cook and eat comfortably. Lots of light and the Adirondack decor throughout the house matched the feel of the outdoor space! We enjoyed the porch, fire pit (wood available) with chairs, the trail to the beaver pond and just the feeling of privacy. Our time here was “easy”. The owner has thought through how to make a visit to his place special in a rustic fashion!" 5 stars
2024 Winter guests:
"Perfect place for a ski trip with family and friends. The game room was great for the kids and the property was very close to Whiteface where we skied. The grilling area outside was sheltered and covered so grilling during a snowstorm was no problem! The driveway was also plowed several times, making it stress free to get to the slopes on a powder day. Great trip. Big enough for two families of 4 to spend a week together comfortably!" 5 stars
"Great property, well equipped, game room was a success with the kids. Gas fireplace to relax after a day of skiing. BBQ was also useful to make dinner. Close to Whiteface mountain. Hosts were quick to respond to inquiries. Will definitely book again!" 5 stars
"We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It was a great location, within close proximity to Whiteface Mtn and the village of Lake Placid. The kids really enjoyed hiking in the woods, walking down by the river, and investigating the beaver dam. We were able to make a fire and enjoy the beautiful Adirondack scenery." 5 stars
"Easy to find off 9N, flat driveway, cleared of snow. we enjoyed playing ping pong and board games and watching TV one night. Bathroom is spacious with nice stall shower. Towels on beds decorated in shape of a bear...cute touch. Large dining table, and good amount of plates, flatware, glasses." 4 stars
"Our family of 5, plus 1 Goldendoodle enjoyed both the relaxing ambiance of the cabin and its location in the beautiful High Peaks area of the Adirondack Mountains. We all enjoyed several of the nearby dining establishments and ringing in the New Year at New Vida Preserve. Whiteface skiing and awesome winter hiking are close by to enjoy as well as Lake Placid and Saranac Lake. Matt was a great host and we all hope to make a return visit." 5 stars
