Adirondack Lakeside Log Cabin With Mountain Views

Classic Adirondack log cabin located on 6+ acres of private land, with magnificent mountain views and 400 feet of lakefront . There is a large stone fireplace in the living room, a screened porch, 3 outside fireplaces, a waterfront deck with tete-a-tete, canoes and a rowboat to launch from your own dock. Have breakfast in the fully functional kitchen; refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, blender, pots, pans, dishes -- all the necessities. The new gas grill is ideal for a cookout. The master bedroom offers an Adirondack log bed, while there is a loft area that sleeps four, and a hide-a-bed sofa in front of the fireplace. Watch Satellite TV, DVD movies or just sit outside on your Adirondack chairs, by the campfire, and appreciate the star filled sky.

Surrounded by the sounds of nature you will be reminded that you do have neighbors - loons, ducks, Blue Heron, etc.., Completely private on 6+ acres with 400 feet of waterfront. In the summer pick blueberries down by the dock or across the road. Plenty of dirt roads leading right from the cabin are well suited for hiking, nature walking or biking to discover the beauty and wonder of the Adirondacks.




The Lakes: Mountain view lake is a small private quiet mountain lake home to beavers, ducks and loons. Canoe via a channel and discover Indian Lake. Indian Lake is bigger and better suited for swimming, and tubing. Both lakes offer lots of fishing opportunities; perch, pike and small-mouth bass. Small kids will enjoy the sandy beach area with a wade in point on Indian Lake while older kids (including our labs) have been known to jump right from the cabin's private dock. Both lakes are about 3 miles long -Mt. View is narrow and Indian Lake is wide. The lakes are connected and offer fishing opportunities with small motors, kayaks, canoe, or rowboats.

There are lots of bigger lakes nearby: Meacham Lake, Saranac Lake, Lake Plaid, Mirror Lake, etc.., Fly fishing is renowed at Salmon River. Deer River flow only 20 minutes away offers abundant wildlife, large pike, easy canoe launch and even some trout! Enjoy the St. Regis canoe area and make sure to bring the camera.



The Mountains: Hiking, walking, biking, jogging, running. Whatever you can do with a mountain the Adirondacks is the place to do it. Hike Debar Mountain at Meacham Lake Campground or hike to the top of Azure Mt. with the working firetower but make sure you 'take a rock to the top' to prevent wind erosion. Look for soaring hawks and spectacular views of the St. Regis Canoe area. Dauphin Nature park is only .25 miles from the cabin's front door and offers lots of hiking opportunities without the drive. Paul Smith's Visitor Center offers hiking and walking opportunities for all levels from a climb up Jenkins Mountains to wide dirt paths for toddlers.

The fall is a spectacular time of the year. The Adirondack mountains are encased in autumn splendor and nature is a master artist with a variety of colors; gold, red, orange, etc.... Visit the High Peaks in Keene Valley and be prepared to fall in love!

The cabin: Where do you go to relax? No work, no traffic, no cell phones and no stress. The only thing you have to do is what you want. Build a fire, grab a blanket and listen to the distinct sound of each raindrop while you relax, read or take a nap. Get dressed and get that heart pumping with a challenging hike. Look for wildlife while you hop on the bike or grab the fishing rod and reel in some fun. Rediscover your own voice in nature's golden silence.

Build an outside fire and toast the smores! Throw a log on the indoor fireplace, play cards, watch a movie or look for stars in the nighttime sky. Stay up late and let your body's alarm clock wake you. Snuggle up next to the fire, partner or family pet. Canoe, kayak or take a dip from the dock. You decide! The most important thing to spend is your time. You won't remember the minutes just the moments. Enjoy each moment with yourself or with your family at the cabin on the lake in the mountains.

What a Gem
If you are looking for a place to unwind and enjoy the tranquil lake, listen to loon calls and wake up to the sunrise reflecting on the water, this is the perfect place. We have already booked our stay for 2025 and can't wait to return.

Such a perfect Adirondack vacation spot!
Critter Cabin is everything we want in a vacation cabin. This cabin is authentic with every thing we need. Very cozy, clean, quiet. Wonderful views of Mt. View Lake. All the needed amenities for outdoor activities plus great wi-fi. Such peace and quiet. A perfect place for us and our two dogs. Thank you so much Doug for letting us stay here all these years.

Beautiful spot
This was everything we were hoping to get out of a vacation to the Adirondacks. We really enjoyed the scenery and the lake, the local hiking trails and the fishing. The location is very secluded and private, but still within driving distance of activities. The cabin was a bit smaller than I was expecting, but it was a perfect size for our family of 4. It should be said that the loft sleeping area has low ceilings and mattresses on the floor, so good for kids but not really for adults. The screened in back porch was really nice, as was listening to the loons on the lake.

Super Cute and cozy çabin
The cottage is very cozy and cute, with log interior with large stone fireplace and gas fireplace. We were disappointed that there was practically no lake or mountain view from the screened porch. Trees and brush obscuring views. The cottage could use a thorough cleaning. Doug, the host, is very knowledgeable about the area and communication with him was very easy. It is best to plan to go to one of the public beaches for swimming or wading.

Best Adirondack Property
We had an amazing time at the cabin. Beautiful cabin and views from the dock and sitting areas. Very private and quiet, just what we were looking for. Doug was a great host and we took advantage of a number of his suggestions such as hiking areas and canoe trips. Cabin has every thing you would need and is well kept. We will definitely be back!

Family vacation
Excellent location for a relaxing family vacation. Kids loved the cabin, pets loved the outdoors. Two great places to eat near by, the rest of the time we BBQ'd. Climbed a small Mt., which was perfect for kids, did some trout fishing near by and lake fishing with the canoes. Owner is great and as attentive as you need or dont need. Enjoy

Lovely Camp to stay.
This was our second year at Camp Critter. We all loved our stay. The cabin is so cute and cozy. There is the screened in porch in case it rains. Then there is the lovely deck where you can sit outside when it is sunny, feeling the nice breeze blowing on your skin. Then there’s the seating area down by the lake which is lovely to sit at and just watch the water and the beautiful sunsets. Doug is a wonderful host and so easy to talk to. Thank You Doug for sharing your lovely Camp.

This was a beautiful, relaxing cabin. Our hosts, the Johnson's, have thought of everything and made it available to use. From the canoes and row boat to a walking stick and board games and dvds everything you need for a wonderful vacation is right at your finger tips. Doug also gave us some suggestions for short, easy hikes that were much appreciated. We definitely would recommend this for anyone looking to decompress and unwind from a hectic world.

Wonderful!
This was our second stay at Camp Critters and it was just as great as our first. We brought our kayaks and spent a lot of time on the water. The rest of our time was spent relaxing, fishing, grilling and having campfires. It was nice just to get away from all the craziness going on right now. We caught lots of fish and saw an eagle, osprey, water snake, loons and a beaver. We will definitely be back next year!

Always peaceful and relaxing
This is my second year staying at this cabin. Douglas is an excellent host. He meets you when you check in and you won't hear from him again until he calls the night before you leave to make sure you had a good stay. He is readily available if needed and is of course knowledgable of the area. There is plenty of wood for the outdoor fireplaces on the property. Lots of wildlife and fishing from the dock, great cabin.

Mountain View Lake Getaway
First trip to the Adirondacks and loved it!!!! Cabin is clean and well equipped. Doug was a pleasure to work with and very helpful. Perfect spot to unplug and spend time with the family. Exactly what we were looking for. This is not the spot if you need to stay "connected" for a working vacation. Minimal motor boat activity makes for a peaceful setting perfect for a canoe or kayak. Bring your binoculars to check out the wildlife. Highly recommend this spot to get away from it all.
