About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Adirondack Riverfront Retreat

A cozy, newly renovated cabin with rustic Adirondack charm located steps away from the Ausable River with a view of Whiteface Mountain. It features a beautiful living space with a fully equipped kitchen. Located just 12 miles from Whiteface Mt and 20 miles from Lake Placid.

We are often at our private home on the property, about 40ft from your cabin, and we're happy to help with anything that may arise. Otherwise, we're only a phone call away. Please enjoy your time here–we want to respect your privacy and enable you to enjoy the serenity. Feel free to let us know if you have any questions or check with us on our schedule.

Pricing note: Our base rate is for 1 guest. An additional $20/night applies for a second guest. Vrbo displays this as an “additional guest fee,” which can be confusing. For this cabin (max 2 adults), this simply reflects pricing for 1 vs 2 guests, not extra visitors beyond capacity.
During your stay at this cabin, you're just a quick walk from Ausable River. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the cabin.

Scot was a fantastic host, the property was extremely peaceful, comfortable, and exactly what we wanted it to be for our stay. Our favorite part of our day was eating breakfast on the deck and walking down to the river to read by the peaceful river. Would strongly recommend a stay here.

A great Hideaway

A great place to get away from everything and just relax. Cozy, clean well supplied cabin with everything you may need. Far enough away to be secluded, but close enough to places to go and anything else you may need .

We stayed for 2 nights and it was fantastic. Good idea to come with some groceries for sure. We brought a few meals with us and had a wonderful stay. The hiking is beautiful in the area also.

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.

Great vacation

Wife and I had a fantastic time here! The property was very clean. The cabin was cozy and the amenities were fantastic for the space. The West Branch Ausable was high during our stay but we still managed to get some good fishing in, as well as plenty of relaxation.

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!
