Large ADK Log Cabin | Hot Tub | Near Whiteface

Bring the whole family to this spacious Adirondack cabin with plenty of room for fun. Fern Cabin is a spacious log cabin set in the rustic AuSable Acres wooded neighborhood in Jay, NY, offering ample space for your family to create lasting memories. The HOA allows one *unoccupied* camper / RV to be parked. This cabin is not available for events and parties as this is a quiet setting.

Whiteface Mountain Ski Resort is just an 11 mile / 20 minute ride away, taking you through a stunning scenic notch along the West Branch of the Ausable River. Lake Placid is 20 miles / 35 minutes from the cabin. Spend your days exploring the High Peaks region and consider taking a drive to Lake Placid's charming downtown for dining and shopping. In the evening, gather around the fire pit or in the family room for a game of pool or foosball before retiring to one of the four Adirondack-inspired bedrooms to wind down for the night.

Please look for the house binder in the kitchen. It has good information regarding the area and recommendations.
