Secluded Family Getaway Cabin near Whiteface

Serene, rustic 4-season cabin on 7 acres in the Adirondack Park, tucked between the Ausable River and Jay Mountain, just 5 miles from Whiteface Ski Resort and 20 minutes from Lake Placid. (Ironman competitors and fans love this location on the bike course.) Around the corner from Adirondack Mountain Cafe and delicious Ice Jam Inn (walkable). Private trail leads to stunning views overlooking a beaver pond with High Peaks natural beauty all around. Your homey kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, utensils and dishes for large groups - plus the gas grill outside. Your Adirondack-themed dining table provides plenty of seating for family-style meals. Unwind in the cozy living room, warmed by a large fieldstone fireplace (and mini-split heat/cool). Play darts, ping pong, air hockey, and foosball in your game room. Enjoy mountain views from the screen porch or the outdoor fire pit. River across the street is perfect for fishing or cooling off in summer (portable A/C units, too). WiFi internet provided and large flat-screen TV with HDMI cable (BYOD). Four bedrooms. 1.5 baths. Sleeps 9! Pet friendly. No smoking. Shared 500’ driveway serves four homes, including the barn next door (which can be rented separately). Happily hosting guests since 2016!

2024 Iron Man guests: "The chalet was exactly what my family needed. Matt was very accommodating regarding our guest count. The walking trails and access to the river were amazing. The house was very cozy, spacious and plenty of room. The screened in porch was perfect." 4 stars

2024 Solar Eclipse guests: "The property was a perfect place to experience the solar eclipse totality! The common area and kitchen provided space for my family to relax, stay connected by WiFi, cook and eat comfortably. Lots of light and the Adirondack decor throughout the house matched the feel of the outdoor space! We enjoyed the porch, fire pit (wood available) with chairs, the trail to the beaver pond and just the feeling of privacy. Our time here was “easy”. The owner has thought through how to make a visit to his place special in a rustic fashion!" 5 stars

2024 Winter guests:

"Perfect place for a ski trip with family and friends. The game room was great for the kids and the property was very close to Whiteface where we skied. The grilling area outside was sheltered and covered so grilling during a snowstorm was no problem! The driveway was also plowed several times, making it stress free to get to the slopes on a powder day. Great trip. Big enough for two families of 4 to spend a week together comfortably!" 5 stars

"Great property, well equipped, game room was a success with the kids. Gas fireplace to relax after a day of skiing. BBQ was also useful to make dinner. Close to Whiteface mountain. Hosts were quick to respond to inquiries. Will definitely book again!" 5 stars

"We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It was a great location, within close proximity to Whiteface Mtn and the village of Lake Placid. The kids really enjoyed hiking in the woods, walking down by the river, and investigating the beaver dam. We were able to make a fire and enjoy the beautiful Adirondack scenery." 5 stars

"Easy to find off 9N, flat driveway, cleared of snow. we enjoyed playing ping pong and board games and watching TV one night. Bathroom is spacious with nice stall shower. Towels on beds decorated in shape of a bear...cute touch. Large dining table, and good amount of plates, flatware, glasses." 4 stars

"Our family of 5, plus 1 Goldendoodle enjoyed both the relaxing ambiance of the cabin and its location in the beautiful High Peaks area of the Adirondack Mountains. We all enjoyed several of the nearby dining establishments and ringing in the New Year at New Vida Preserve. Whiteface skiing and awesome winter hiking are close by to enjoy as well as Lake Placid and Saranac Lake. Matt was a great host and we all hope to make a return visit." 5 stars

It was a nice place to stay, the area is beautiful. Nice resturant right down the road. Numerous hiking trails in the area. Some plugs are split between on/off at the wall vs at the equipment. Beds vary in hardness/softness. AC temperature control works. Two external doors, access through game room is narrow, use to open other external door to living room.

Cozy place to rest your feet

We spent a lot of our trip out on the trails, but it sure was great to come back to a cozy home to warm up and relax. There was plenty of room for my husband and I, our two kids, dogs, and the extended family who stayed with us. Plenty of space to be together and space to be apart when you wanted privacy. Hopeful that we can return to the same spot next year!

Fun for all

The cabin is close to hiking and other activities, and equipped with lots of games for rainy days. Visitors should know that one of the bedrooms on the ground floor is accessed with stairs and is far from the bathroom, so not suitable for someone with mobility issues.

Nice cabin with game room for kids

The cabin was clean and updated, super shady/low light. My kids (age 7 and 4) loved the game room which was great since it rained a lot. Matt the owner stopped by for a chat (super nice guy) and his son lives above the garage. I’d recommend this place in the winter for skiing Whiteface. Thanks!

Comfort away from home

Great place to stay if you are looking for a place to relax in the Adirondacks whether hiking, fishing or just hanging out with family and friends. Fully stocked kitchen for making or grilling dinner in and entertaining and all the comforts of home. Spacious and accommodates 8-9. Easy and fast communication with host. Son next door in garage apartment was very friendly. Definitely will stay again! Thank you for sharing your mountain home!

Relaxing Vacation

We stayed at the property with our preteen, teenager, elderly parents and dogs. Very relaxing time for all. There was really nothing we had to pack because everything was provided. The owner was very helpful with any questions that we had in preparation for the trip. The first floor bedroom was very handy for my father. We especially enjoyed the fire pit and the beautiful property. We enjoyed the short drive to the lake placid attractions and my husband enjoyed the fly fishing. Matt was very good at communicating with us. Whenever I contacted them during the trip. His son next door was also very kind and helpful.

We had a great stay! The house was nice and exactly what we expected. It was a little off the grid but very quiet and safe. There is no cell service unless you are on wifi which is provided free at the house. The drive to whiteface mountain ski resort was easy and quick. The host called me the first night we were there to check in and make sure we had everything we needed. I thought that was super nice! The house has everything you would need for your stay! I loved the screened in porch and the fire pit out back. They even had dog bowls just in case you forget them! If we ever go back to lake placid I would definitely rent this home again!
