We really enjoyed our stay at this unique owner-built log cabin -- well appointed with everything we needed for a great getaway. We drove down a beautiful tree-lined winding driveway to a fairy-like cabin setting (fairies & gnomes abounded).
The owner and his family used large trees from their property and their own draft horses to build the cabin.
Sleeping by big windows where we could out look through tall pine trees to a dark sky with thousands of stars, was enchanting. The beds were very comfortable, with soft and warm bedding. Lots of dresser drawers for stowing your clothing and necessities.
The kitchen was perfectly set up with coffee maker, keurig, microwave, and full size refrigerator. There were plenty of electrical outlets conveniently located for charging phones and for plugging in my c-pap machine without needing an extension cord. Lots of hooks in entryway to hang outerwear.
The 1st floor bathroom has a glass surround corner shower, and the upstairs bathroom has a walk-in jacuzzi bathtub complete with mood lighting! Plenty of on-demand hot water.
There was a fast clothes washer and dryer -- you don't even need to bring any detergent!
Internet was fast and reliable, and the living room was a very comfortable place to watch tv. The owner is a musician and has a really high quality karaoke machine, and electronic keyboard, as well as a guitar which we had a blast using. So much fun playing some of the different games.
Another great thing was the miles of well-marked trails through the owner's woods. You can tell the owner was a forester because the woods look very healthy.
We really enjoyed how easy it was to get to Lake Placid where we were able to shop and see the World University Games. Elizabethtown has restaurants, a grocery store, a drug store, and Stewarts for all of your needs, as well as a hospital/health center. The cabin is also located close to lots of Adirondack High Peaks trailheads and waterfalls. The Blueberry Hill Trail System, another excellent local hiking area, is just up the road.
Another bonus for us was a really nice fast, free charger for our electric car.
All-in-all, we highly recommend the little cabin in the woods for your next Adirondack getaway!
