Our Expectations of Guests
Taking Care
We are a small family business simply trying to navigate what the new normal is while also trying to maintain the health of our guests and ourselves. We expect that our guests have taken great care and precaution, as we have, to self-quarantine and social distance. We know the Adirondacks is beloved to many which is why we’re opening our doors in a limited way. We will welcome guests who have self-quarantined prior to arrival for 14 days and who are feeling well and healthy. We expect our guests to be honest - that they have not come into contact with anyone that has had active COVID-19. Our cabins host 8 or fewer people. Only one cabin will be rented to each party. We will disallow congregating in groups of more than 10. This restriction may ease later in the summer. If you do not feel you can meet these expectations, please cancel your reservation.

Most shops are operating at reduced capacity, though and require a face covering.
Mattresses were awful, no water the first day due to a pump repair. Unpleasant smell for the first 2 days, owner made aware so windows were opened and air freshners added but still persisted until the last day. Owner was pleasant but food items were moved from a table to a pantry cupboard without our permission and washed our dirty dishes which I guess was okay but weird. Felt like this was a little intrusive. Blankets or sleeping bags were needed but only sheets were noted. Small dock but a very pretty view if you bring chairs.
We had a great time, it was clean. We went during late July. It was hot overall, but the cabin was surrounded by trees, so it was pretty cool inside. Clean, had some games like dominos and puzzles. Literal water view. Would recommend if you want to get away. 10mins from the town, and no mobile signal at the cabin, so you're disconnected.
Very cleanly, rustic, but exactly what you should be looking for if you’re trying to take a true getaway vacation, this is the place to be.
We booked a 3-day stay, my teenage grandson are pet dog and myself. Everything was exactly as indicated in the previews. Very peaceful and a wonderful place to be kayaking. We would come back again
Great property! Everything you need to unplug and enjoy the Adirondacks and Saranac Lake. Camp George has a newly built boat dock and wrap porch. Have brought our boat up for 2 years now. We hate to leave after a week here!
I emailed before booking to verify that our boat would be able to be docked outside the cabin; owner verified that our boat would be able to be docked. We launched our boat, drove to our dock... well as close as we could get to it (inboard/outboard). The water was maybe 2 ft deep with 2 ft of thick, gross, stinky muck with alot of vegetation and random large rocks. Owner offered to allow us to dock at her place & walk down to her house each time (this is not what we paid for & not what was communicated to us). I was so disappointed that we couldn't dock our boat or swim outside our cabin. Owner told us that we shouldn't run the water with dishes, should limit showers, not to run water when brushing our teeth, and to only flush for #2. Showering was torture too; the water was so cold. The cabins lighting does need an update. Gas lighting x3 (which you light with a lighter) with other electric lighting too. The cabin is advertised as sleeps 5 in (2) double beds and a pull out couch. The double beds are camper mattress which are about 3 thick and very uncomfortable. The length of the mattress accommodate someone less than 5'10 (tall individuals should pass). The couch is a love seat that pulls out and had beer caps in it (my son wouldn't even pull it out because it is so dirty). I am okay with cleaning up after my family as was advertised, but you would think that someone would do a deep clean after weekly rentals. If you like to lock your doors, you will not be locking anything up here. The doors latch with hooks and twigs. Be sure to bring a fan for each person; you will need it. The cabin is rustic and would be nice if you just wanted to fish and kayak. No campfires here and no room for corn hole. We traveled and trailered our boat alot because we didn't have a convenient place to dock our boat. Lake placid and Lake Clear were amazing. Downtown Saranac was very nice too.
To be 100% honest, the accommodations were not up to my standards. The cabin is very dark & dreary with very poor lighting & actually the lighting seemed dangerous. The windows don't open & there aren't any fans. On a hot day this would be unbearable. One of the mattresses were totally unusable with springs popping all over. There is a major septic issue so you're not expected to run water. This makes it difficult to cook. I wouldn't expect any housekeeping during the stay but I wouldn't expect to be the housekeeper when I left either. As far as the positives, it's a beautiful, tranquil area with excellent fishing. I'd like to state more positive feedback but I am a big fan of reading reviews & feel they should serve a purpose. To me, it's a great cabin for a couple of die hard fishermen or hunters that just need the cabin to lay their head at night.
Had a great experience renting one of Marjorie's cabins (George) this past weekend. She was very welcoming and a great host. I would consider her cabin rustic, but had essentials including running water, stove and refrigerator/freezer. A+ all around. Saranac Lake is a great little town with endless outdoor opportunities within driving distance.
I attended school at Paul Smith's College in the late 80s and couldn't wait to get back to the area after being away for almost 30 years! Made several pass thrus over the years but have not stayed for any extended period of time. I was very excited to go ally show my family where I went to school and the great outdoors that surround. We picked a weekend that my college roommate and his family could meet with mine. Exciting times for sure. Cochran cabins helped make a great scenario come to life. Awesome setting. Great access by canoe to where ever you pretty much want to go and even let the little ones take the canoes without worry. Thanks
Really enjoyed our stay. Owners were very nice.
