This magical retreat with exceptional cabin in the woods interiors is nestled on 2.5 acres. It is an architectural saltbox in the heart of the Adirondacks only 7 miles from Whiteface Mountain and 15 miles from Lake Placid. Within walking distance are hiking and cross country ski trails. It is truly a retreat for the body and soul!

Surrounded by your own private forest, this warmly furnished home, with Adirondack touches throughout, has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a great living area, ample dining table space for 8, and large island kitchen will make your family and friends feel welcome. Flick on the gas fireplace and enjoy your own music mixes through the built-in surround sound system. Take the chill off after a day of activities in the steam shower or the jacuzzi for two. The jacuzzi has a heat feature for an extended soak and bubble or jet features. The chef's kitchen has all the tools needed to make any meal just like home. When the weather is right, enjoy the fire pit area or just sit out on the deck.

This home has two queen size beds, two daybeds with trundles. There are multiple TVs with satellite and DVD players, fully equipped kitchen including convection oven and wine cooler, BBQ grill, iron and board, linens, towels and washer/dryer. Wi-Fi has been upgraded to Spectrum FIOS at 300 MPS.

Located one mile from the house is Lake Eaton, where you can canoe or hike around the lake, perfect for children. The community of Au Sable Acres has a tennis court and slightly more ambitious trails; a trail map is in the kitchen. The house is minutes from Au Sable Forks where there is a movie theater, great pizza place, wine store and supermarket. In Wilmington, about a 10 minute car ride, there is a river front beach with volleyball court and picnic area. You can also enjoy the summer concert series in the heart of Jay just down the road from the house. A bit further is the wonder of Lake Placid, about a 20 minute car ride, where you can browse the outlet stores and artisan shops and enjoy lake view delights and dining on Main Street. For a nice day trip, downtown Montreal is about a two hour car ride away.

Other nearby activities in the winter are world class skiing at Whiteface Mountain, bobsled and tubing at the Mt. Van Hoevenberg Olympic Center, or ice skating and dog sleigh riding in Lake Placid. In the summer, hiking trails abound as well as fishing holes, golf courses, and boating in Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, or Lake Champlain.

3 Night minimums are required for all Holidays weekends and Ironman weekend.


NO SMOKING - $250 fine

There are two Ring Video doorbells at the front and back door. There are the only two surveillance devices. This is more of a security measure when the house is vacant. If you need to reach me please call or text me directly, do not use the door bell as a means of communication.

You are allowed only one dog and it must be under 50 lbs. If you want to bring two you must ask approval. The dog rules are as follows:

1. Not on furniture or bed
2. Do not wash in tubs - you will FORFEIT your deposit and possibly be charged for additional damages - Steam shower is $4500 and jacuzzi is $4000 plus labor - this has happened, please don't let it be you.
3. IF your dog goes around the firepit or near the stairs entering the house, please pick it up. No one wants to step on it and drag it in their car or the house. Go towards the woods is fine. Please be considerate for the next guest.
4. IF your dogs paws get muddy, please use a hand towel in the utility closet and give a quick wipe. If the dog does track or sheds, please give the house a quick sweep, vacuum or mop. An additional cleaning fee may be imposed by my cleaners; this has happened only twice.
5. You are not permitted to move furniture, especially the daybed trundles from one room to another. You will be fined $100 plus damages to the floor and drywall.
PLEASE NOTE: CHECK IN IS AT 4 PM AND CHECK OUT IS 10 AM SHARP. A $100 FINE WILL BE ASSESSED IF YOU DO NOT ABIDE BY THIS RULE. I CAN BE FLEXIBLE ON CHECK IN AND OUT TIMES BUT YOU MUST CONTACT ME PRIOR TO ARRIVING OR 24 HOURS BEFORE YOUR DEPARTURE. THANK YOU

    This was our second year staying in this lovely home. It had everything we needed. Kitchen was equiped with cooking utensils, appliances,cleaning supplies, etc. We had a group of 6 this year, but can accomodate 8 comfortably.Our host, Carlos, was easy to deal with. My family and I will definitely stay hear again in the future.

    We had a wonderful time using this property! The kitchen was a dream to use, had everything you could need, great bedrooms and bathrooms with plenty of blankets and towels and the location was great! It was close to lake placid and high peaks yet tucked away for secluded relaxation! We loved the big porch and so did our dog, would definitely stay again!

    We loved the location and the proximity to all the local area attractions. The association itself has many cool walking/hiking trails (although at first was a bit confusing to navigate). Mattresses in kids room were a bit uncomfortable (I’m sure mostly kids sleep in that room but I happened to stay in the kid room so for me as a middle aged person it was a bit rough LOL but the kids didn’t mind). Beautiful and clean home, nice amenities such as the jetted tub and steam shower. Couches were not the most comfortable/accommodating for the family room wise and there was no pull out bed in the living room as stated. Overall a great stay, just wanted to bring those things to the attention but would definitely stay there again!

    This was our second time staying at the cabin, so we obviously love it. The neighborhood provides a perfect setting: quiet, beautiful, private, wooded lots with access to miles of trails. The cabin is clean, comfy, roomy, and well appointed. We appreciated that Carlos was quick to respond and address any questions. We would gladly return again!

    My husband and I were looking for a relaxing fall getaway in the Adirondacks. This home not only met but exceeded all of our expectations. We visited the areas lakes and villages daily and retreated back to this peaceful and quiet home in the evening. We made several great meals and breakfast daily in the beautifully appointed kitchen. Carlos was a wonderful host and the home is exactly as described in the listing.

    Great layout, perfect for a small adult group. AC would have been nice but the home cooled off nicely with windows and fans (during the unusual heat wave). Would return and recommend.

    The property was great for our family of three, and my two friends to stay, and hangout while we toured the Adirondacks. It’s home away from home with all the amenities.
