This cabin was everything I was looking for! My six year old daughter and I stayed there for just under a week. The cabin is well maintained as is the beach area. Richard was a great, down to earth kind of person. He was easy to talk to and was respectful of trying to create that perfect balance between being friendly, while also giving me and my daughter our own space. Some people shy away from staying at cabins where the owners are on site, but this should not be a deterrent for his cabin! They are friendly, courteous and truly respectful of what you came to the Adirondacks for.
The cabin was perfect in every way. It is much bigger than the pictures online make you think. The outdoor shower is well built and designed. It was great to be able to use it to wash the sand off our bodies after a day on the lake. When I read about the outdoor shower online I pictured a shower head coming out of the side of the cabin, with no privacy, but it is an actual stall with a floor and a door.
My favorite part about the cabin was the enclosed front porch. The Adirondack chairs on it are comfortable and situated so you can drink your coffee in the morning and look out over the lake. The morning and late evenings on the porch brought me great solitude. Hearing the loons late at night or early in the morning was a special treat and brought back great memories for me. There is a fire ring and we had a fire almost every night.
The cabin is located on Long Lake so you can do day trips in your own canoe to the Buttermilk Falls carry, the town of Long Lake, or to Big Brook. Coney Mountain has a beautiful view at top and was a great hike for me and my six year old daughter. There is so much to do and appreciate in the area.
I would definitely return again to spend time at this cabin. My experience was excellent and exactly what I was looking for and needed.
