Creature comforts
Enjoy the comforts of home—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.
Sleep comfortably in a quaint cabin with easy access to Adirondack hiking, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hunting and relaxing. Our cabin is tucked away, bordered by NYS Forever Wild land to the south and west and few neighbors to the north and east. Built by a local doctor in 1924, this cabin was his family's summer home. He was also a talented watercolor painter and his original work is displayed throughout. We are only the third owners and we have been enjoying the cabin since the 80's. In the last 30 years we have introduced some creature comforts (hot/cold water, electricity) while maintaining its original charm. In a time where it is so hard to disconnect from the world, we offer a comfy bed, fresh air, starry nights, a fire and no cell service at the cabin. Learn more about this land: Come, sit back, disconnect and relax in our unique cabin in the Adirondack Park. Our 100-year-old cabin comfortably sleeps seven. There are two small private bedrooms: one with a queen and the second with a full bed. The third room is open to the living room and features a bunk bed. Linens, blankets and towels are provided. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware, a full-sized stove, refrigerator, microwave and farmhouse sink with hot and cold running water. The bathroom has a flush toilet, sink and tub with handheld shower. There is a pellet stove (pellets provided) in our kitchen/dining area and a wood stove (wood provided) in the living room. Both bedrooms have thermostat controlled electric heat. The cabin is a true escape: no internet, no telephone and hit or (mostly) miss cell service. There is electricity if you need to recharge a device and there is a great sound system to Bluetooth your tunes. Built by Dr. James Cormier in 1924, our cabin became a summer getaway for his family. He was also an artist and his original watercolors still adorn its walls. We are only the third owners in nearly 100 years and we have been building cherished memories there for decades. We have made improvements to the property while retaining its charm. There is one P/T neighbor who shares our driveway but the property provides privacy. We are adjacent to a NYS Forest Preserve and surrounded by woods. The cabin is a short drive from Lake Placid and Saranac Lake and close to hiking the Adirondacks, canoeing in the St. Regis Canoe Area, close to the Six Nations Indian Museum and an easy drive to the Visitors Interpretive Center at Paul Smith’s College. For the water and fishing enthusiast a 3 minute drive or 10 minute walk brings you to the North Branch of the Saranac River, Rainbow Lake and Lake Kushaqua. Local fishing, and hunting opportunities abound. The cabin’s location also offers history buffs a chance to explore the impact of tuberculosis sanatoriums which served patients from the big cities in the early 20th century. Sites are available to explore within walking distance and a small museum in Saranac Lake is worth the trip. Lastly, there is a cool antique store within a few miles whose owner is always available for conversation about the area. After a day of ADK fun, you can kick back around the fire ring (outdoor burning wood supplied) and take in the stars. If the weather isn't cooperating, stay in with a good book, play some card/board games or just spend some uninterrupted time with people you care about.  Please let us know if we can answer any questions or provide something special to make your stay even better.Come, sit back, disconnect and relax in our unique cabin in the Adirondack Park.

Access in winter is weather dependent and may require snowshoes or cross country skis. Please let us know if we can answer any questions or provide something special to make your stay even better.

The Adirondack Cabin
Great cabin - we’ll be back!
Awesome glamping! My husband and I wanted to explore some of the high peaks/lakes in the Adirondacks for our anniversary. The cabin fit the bill wonderfully - so much character, comfortable (sleeping was great), pet friendly, private, and relaxing. We wish we had more time to enjoy all the area has to offer - guess we’ll just have to come back! If you like turn of the century cabins and antiques/history while camping with all the basic creature comforts, you’ll enjoy this place.

My family and I returned for a second visit to this cabin, and it was as delightful as the first time. It’s the coziest retreat after a long day of paddling or hiking.

Perfect Adirondack getaway
We had an amazing time here! The cabin is the perfect middle of nowhere getaway, but cozy as can be. The beds are extremely comfortable, the wood stove is to die for, and the kitchen is very well equipped. It was really everything we wanted! The dogs were also in heaven here! The only heads up I can give is that the road and driveway were hard to pass (snow and then mud) for even our SUV, so depending on the season, I wouldn’t bring anything less than AWD! A 25 minute drive took us to Saranac Lake, a lovely little town. We definitely plan to return!

Very unique and cozy cabin
We stayed 2 nights at the cabin and it the perfect spot to stay for a hiking trip. It is such a charming and unique place, also spacious. We especially liked having the bluetooth speakers- which I was able to connect to my iPad and watch Harry Potter- very cozy! I definitely hope to stay here again next year.

The Adirondack Cabin
Great stay in ADK
My family and I (and our pups) loved this cabin! It feels private and tucked into the woods, but is super convenient to lots of paddling and hiking. The rustic vibe suited us well, and it felt like staying in the cabin of a friend or family member. We looked forward to our return to the cozy cabin and sitting next to the fire each night. We were plenty warm despite chilly fall temperatures, and having a nice shower and kitchen was a luxury. Kristine was a great host—we had everything we needed for our stay, and we’d be excited to return in the future.
