Our ADK Forest Cabin sits in the heart of AuSable Acres, a peaceful forested community designed for those who seek both serenity and adventure. Established in the 1960s by John Eaton, AuSable Acres was envisioned as a nature retreat, with private trails, a tranquil lake, and a strong sense of community. Today, it remains a hidden gem in the Adirondacks, where visitors can escape the rush of daily life and reconnect with nature.
Staying here means more than just enjoying a cozy retreat—it means becoming part of a community that values the great outdoors, relaxation, and shared experiences. Whether you're walking along the wooded trails, fishing at Lake Eaton, or simply waving to friendly neighbors, you'll feel the welcoming spirit that defines AuSable Acres.
Beyond our peaceful corner, history unfolds in the nearby town of Lake Placid, a place of Olympic triumphs and outdoor adventure. Home to both the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics, Lake Placid's legacy is most famous for the “Miracle on Ice”, when the underdog U.S. hockey team shocked the world by defeating the Soviet Union. Today, you can skate on the same historic rink, visit the Olympic Ski Jump Complex, or ride a bobsled on a professional track.
Towering nearby is Whiteface Mountain, known for its world-class skiing and breathtaking summit views. In 1935, Franklin D. Roosevelt led the creation of the Whiteface Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway, allowing visitors to drive up to panoramic views stretching across the Adirondacks, Vermont, and even Canada. Whiteface also played a major role in the 1980 Winter Olympics, hosting all alpine ski events and further cementing its place in winter sports history.
By staying in AuSable Acres, you’re not just booking a cabin—you’re stepping into a rich history of community, adventure, and timeless natural beauty. Whether you're hiking, skiing, or simply unwinding by the fire pit under the stars, every moment here is part of a greater story—one that you’ll help write.
