About this property

Rustic 2-bedroom cabin on Boyd Pond

  • Relax and enjoy incredible sunsets and bon fires while listening to the resident loons on a remote pond in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. The property includes a private sandy beach and offers easy access to hiking, swimming, fishing, boating, four-wheeling, snowmobiling, etc. Note that this is a family-owned cabin that does NOT include modern amenities. This is the perfect escape for those seeking a frills-free, non-luxurious, yet rustic experience. Pets allowed for additional fee.

    The cabin is located on Boyd Pond, which is a very remote lake in upstate NY near the Adirondack Mountains. The cabin is heated and also has a wood stove. Chopped wood will be provided if guests choose to use the wood stove during the fall and winter months. We ask that the indoor wood stove not being used during summer. There is no air conditioning.

    - Private sandy beach
    - Guests have access to a row boat and 2 kayaks
    - Access to hunting on state land
    - Ice fishing
    - Cross-country skiing, hiking, and snowmobiling trails nearby

    Please note that the cabin comes with dated décor (featuring shag orange carpet in the guest room, etc). If you are looking for a sleek/modern experience, this rustic cabin is not the place for you. If you are looking for a cozy and remote place to unwind and disconnect, look no further.

Boyd Pond was the destination for our most recent sister getaway. This cabin was incredibly welcoming and CLEAN! We did not bring our pets with us but it was so wonderful to see how pet-friendly the rental was...food/water dishes, poo bags, leashes, etc. The kitchen with stocked with everything we needed and more. Beds were comfortable and we stayed nice and warm throughout our snowy stay. Our host was gracious and responsive which is always a plus! We would not hesitate to book a repeat stay.
Woke up to fresh snow on the pond on morning #2!
Beautiful view on our 1st morning!
Just gorgeous!

We had a lovely time at this property. Felt like heaven on earth! The perfect spot to unplug. we were totally impressed with the location. So quiet, other than the beautiful loons, gorgeous views both day and night! Kayaking, row boating, swimming & hiking with our dog…. We never left the property for the week! The water lilies were an unexpected bonus!

Serene getaway🌅

Stayed for 5 nights in this cozy, comfortable and clean waterfront home. Our time there was perfect…the weather was warm, wind was soft, the sun was prevalent and the skies were clear. Beautiful sunsets and full moon reflections on a mirror smooth pond. I could have stayed forever. If you’re looking for a place that is quiet there’s no need to look any further!

We really loved the setting of the cabin. Boyd Pond is beautiful! We loved seeing critters outside, like geese and loons on the water. We made breakfasts in the kitchen and spent a lot of time looking out over the water both from the table and sitting on the deck. It was nice to watch TV at night and have a space of our own.

Great little cabin on a pretty, quiet pond. My son loved fishing in their rowboat. I loved reading on the porch. It was clean and well taken care of. It’s in a remote area so we brought food and laid low while we were there. Loved hearing the loons and watching the sunset. We had a great time and didn’t want to leave. Thank you!

The property is literally a slice of heaven. The quiet was so noticeable & we loved not hearing constant road noise. Listening to the lunes, bull frogs, & the humm of the hummingbirds was a delightful treat! I especially enjoy kayaking & being able to do that everyday with hardly no effort is heaven for me! My son & our dog went hiking daily & absolutely loved it. Fires in the fire pit were another winner for us! Fabulous sunsets & coffee every morning out on the little island made meditation so enjoyable & beautiful! The quarters were clean, linens fresh, & we had everything we needed! The internet is slow, but that was a plus for us as well. We were able to unplug & reconnect with nature. I work on a computer 10-12 hours everyday, so this was absolutely what was needed & we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The neighbors are so friendly & Vicky stopped by to check on us! I really can’t say enough about how great our stay was. This was our second time booking this location & we will be booking again! It’s well worth the drive! This spot has become my favorite place.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were pleasantly surprised with the amount of water toys available. The cabin is rustic but inexpensive so you are totally getting your money’s worth. Could use a few updates such as removing carpets. If you’re going to allow pets, make it easy to remove the previous tenants fur and accidents. And fix the leaning tower of Peesa (toilet). Otherwise it would have been a 10. We had a ball taking the raft out to the middle and hanging out. Use the kayak to pull it out :-)
