Great Cabin

We stayed for 2 nights and it was fantastic. Good idea to come with some groceries for sure. We brought a few meals with us and had a wonderful stay. The hiking is beautiful in the area also.

Snowshoe/Lake Placid Trip

It’s a quaint cabin in Jay, New York. Perfect stay if planning to do some traveling/adventuring. The cabin was very clean and the owner was very informative about the whole process. Be aware that there is not great cell reception in the area, but the owner provides wifi.

Super Cozy!

Amazing little cozy cabin! We had a great time! Very good selection of books, watched some scary movies and we ended up reading ghost stories of the Adirondacks. Excellent communication from our Host Scot from before we booked the trip up until out last night there. Very clean cabin! 10/10 I'd recommend:)

Great stay!

Perfect spot to come back to after a couple days of banging out high peaks. I felt right at home in this cozy cabin, a much needed respite after a summer of fieldwork. Super clean, and a great option for solo travelers or couples looking for a couple days away from the grind.

25th anniversary get-away in the woods

We were looking for a quiet little get-away in the woods, with things to do nearby and this checked all of our boxes! Beautiful area with nearby restaurants and shops, but you feel so far away from the hustle and bustle while on the property; it was perfect! The cottage had everything we needed and a great view of the water!

PERFECT Spot

Idyllic property, right on a gorgeous stretch of the Ausable River. Clean and comfy cabin with all that you need. We truly relaxed, spent a lot of time enjoying the river and the views. Great proximity to all that makes this area of the Adirondacks so special - Wilmington, Whiteface, Lake Placid, Jay, Keene -- all nearby. Lots of great hikes in the area. Our host Scot was super-responsive. We'd go back, for sure!

Great quiet cabin!

I recently had the pleasure of staying in this charming cabin. The location is absolutely stunning, surrounded by nature and by the Ausable river. The cabin itself was cozy, clean, and well-equipped with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. Scot was incredibly welcoming and provided us with helpful information about the area, including great hiking trails and local attractions. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil escape in a beautiful natural setting. We can't wait to return!

Five Star Experience

From start to finish, everything about this trip was exceptional. The host, Scot, was amenable, checked in on me thoughtfully, respected my privacy, and communicated clearly throughout. The pictures were accurate, though they didn’t fully capture the beauty of the cabin or the surrounding creek. The cabin itself is lovely — perfect for one or two people. It was spotless (truly impressively clean), with easy-to-use appliances, and the view and atmosphere were incredibly comforting.What stood out most was how peaceful everything felt. The sound of the creek, the fresh air, and the cozy charm of the cabin created the perfect environment to unwind, recharge, and just be. It’s the kind of place that makes it easy to leave the noise of everyday life behind. I left feeling completely at peace and already can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

Great get-away

This is the perfect place to decompress from phones, crowds and traffic. We spent two full days of enjoying the deck that overlooks the Au Sable river - reading, birding and fishing. The cabin has everything we needed - a very comfortable bed! - and our host was very attentive to our needs. Thanks, Scot

Cozy cabin

Very clean, well-organized cabin! The view of the river is breathtaking. We hiked some local trails and would return here afterwards for dinner, a fire, and a refreshing night’s sleep and/or coffee on the deck in the morning. Has instant hot water heater and Mitsubishi A/C for those who can only take the outdoors on them for so long! Really cozy, rustic ambience. Very close to LP 9peaks for those who like to hike. Completely recommend it. Scot, the owner, is very responsive and kind.

Peaceful ADK Getaway

My husband and I were celebrating our 1st year Anniversary, and this quaint cabin on the river was perfect! The cabin was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. It is steps from the Ausable River, which was a great spot to toss a line in at any point of day. It was close to other fishing spots we wanted to visit and close enough to the trailheads we hiked. The only thing we didn’t realize, is that the owners home is directly adjacent to the cabin. Maybe 10-15’ away. However, they were not home during our visit. We did have communication with them during our stay and Scot seemed really cool, so we would have gladly chatted with them, had they been there. All in all 10/10 would recommend, especially if you’re looking to get out of the hustle and bustle of the touristy Placid area. Stunning location!
