Great stay!

Perfect spot to come back to after a couple days of banging out high peaks. I felt right at home in this cozy cabin, a much needed respite after a summer of fieldwork. Super clean, and a great option for solo travelers or couples looking for a couple days away from the grind.

25th anniversary get-away in the woods

We were looking for a quiet little get-away in the woods, with things to do nearby and this checked all of our boxes! Beautiful area with nearby restaurants and shops, but you feel so far away from the hustle and bustle while on the property; it was perfect! The cottage had everything we needed and a great view of the water!

Snowshoe/Lake Placid Trip

It’s a quaint cabin in Jay, New York. Perfect stay if planning to do some traveling/adventuring. The cabin was very clean and the owner was very informative about the whole process. Be aware that there is not great cell reception in the area, but the owner provides wifi.

Amazing little cozy cabin! We had a great time! Very good selection of books, watched some scary movies and we ended up reading ghost stories of the Adirondacks. Excellent communication from our Host Scot from before we booked the trip up until out last night there. Very clean cabin! 10/10 I'd recommend:)

Great little Cabin Getaway!

We stayed at the cabin on the river for a long weekend and it was everything we hoped it would be. It was quiet and peaceful and although the owner lives in the house next door, we were left alone and had the place to ourselves to relax. The river is beautiful and the cabin was clean and just enough for 2 people. The owner was very attentive and we would definitely do it again.

Great quiet cabin!

I recently had the pleasure of staying in this charming cabin. The location is absolutely stunning, surrounded by nature and by the Ausable river. The cabin itself was cozy, clean, and well-equipped with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. Scot was incredibly welcoming and provided us with helpful information about the area, including great hiking trails and local attractions. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil escape in a beautiful natural setting. We can't wait to return!

PERFECT Spot

Idyllic property, right on a gorgeous stretch of the Ausable River. Clean and comfy cabin with all that you need. We truly relaxed, spent a lot of time enjoying the river and the views. Great proximity to all that makes this area of the Adirondacks so special - Wilmington, Whiteface, Lake Placid, Jay, Keene -- all nearby. Lots of great hikes in the area. Our host Scot was super-responsive. We'd go back, for sure!

Cozy cabin

Very clean, well-organized cabin! The view of the river is breathtaking. We hiked some local trails and would return here afterwards for dinner, a fire, and a refreshing night’s sleep and/or coffee on the deck in the morning. Has instant hot water heater and Mitsubishi A/C for those who can only take the outdoors on them for so long! Really cozy, rustic ambience. Very close to LP 9peaks for those who like to hike. Completely recommend it. Scot, the owner, is very responsive and kind.

The Riverfront Retreat was the perfect place to relax after a day of hiking and enjoying a trip to Lake Placid. We enjoyed the relaxing sounds of the river near by, the comfort of the cabin and the view of the mountains. The host was great to work with and answered pretty quickly to our messages. Definitely would recommend to others.
