About this cabin rental
Classic Adirondack log cabin located on 6+ acres of private land, with magnificent mountain views and 400 feet of lakefront . There is a large stone fireplace in the living room, a screened porch, 3 outside fireplaces, a waterfront deck with tete-a-tete, canoes and a rowboat to launch from your own dock. Have breakfast in the fully functional kitchen; refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, blender, pots, pans, dishes -- all the necessities. The new gas grill is ideal for a cookout. The master bedroom offers an Adirondack log bed, while there is a loft area that sleeps four, and a hide-a-bed sofa in front of the fireplace. Watch Satellite TV, DVD movies or just sit outside on your Adirondack chairs, by the campfire, and appreciate the star filled sky.
Surrounded by the sounds of nature you will be reminded that you do have neighbors - loons, ducks, Blue Heron, etc.., Completely private on 6+ acres with 400 feet of waterfront. In the summer pick blueberries down by the dock or across the road. Plenty of dirt roads leading right from the cabin are well suited for hiking, nature walking or biking to discover the beauty and wonder of the Adirondacks.
The Lakes: Mountain view lake is a small private quiet mountain lake home to beavers, ducks and loons. Canoe via a channel and discover Indian Lake. Indian Lake is bigger and better suited for swimming, and tubing. Both lakes offer lots of fishing opportunities; perch, pike and small-mouth bass. Small kids will enjoy the sandy beach area with a wade in point on Indian Lake while older kids (including our labs) have been known to jump right from the cabin's private dock. Both lakes are about 3 miles long -Mt. View is narrow and Indian Lake is wide. The lakes are connected and offer fishing opportunities with small motors, kayaks, canoe, or rowboats.
There are lots of bigger lakes nearby: Meacham Lake, Saranac Lake, Lake Plaid, Mirror Lake, etc.., Fly fishing is renowed at Salmon River. Deer River flow only 20 minutes away offers abundant wildlife, large pike, easy canoe launch and even some trout! Enjoy the St. Regis canoe area and make sure to bring the camera.
The Mountains: Hiking, walking, biking, jogging, running. Whatever you can do with a mountain the Adirondacks is the place to do it. Hike Debar Mountain at Meacham Lake Campground or hike to the top of Azure Mt. with the working firetower but make sure you 'take a rock to the top' to prevent wind erosion. Look for soaring hawks and spectacular views of the St. Regis Canoe area. Dauphin Nature park is only .25 miles from the cabin's front door and offers lots of hiking opportunities without the drive. Paul Smith's Visitor Center offers hiking and walking opportunities for all levels from a climb up Jenkins Mountains to wide dirt paths for toddlers.
The fall is a spectacular time of the year. The Adirondack mountains are encased in autumn splendor and nature is a master artist with a variety of colors; gold, red, orange, etc.... Visit the High Peaks in Keene Valley and be prepared to fall in love!
The cabin: Where do you go to relax? No work, no traffic, no cell phones and no stress. The only thing you have to do is what you want. Build a fire, grab a blanket and listen to the distinct sound of each raindrop while you relax, read or take a nap. Get dressed and get that heart pumping with a challenging hike. Look for wildlife while you hop on the bike or grab the fishing rod and reel in some fun. Rediscover your own voice in nature's golden silence.
Build an outside fire and toast the smores! Throw a log on the indoor fireplace, play cards, watch a movie or look for stars in the nighttime sky. Stay up late and let your body's alarm clock wake you. Snuggle up next to the fire, partner or family pet. Canoe, kayak or take a dip from the dock. You decide! The most important thing to spend is your time. You won't remember the minutes just the moments. Enjoy each moment with yourself or with your family at the cabin on the lake in the mountains.

Critter Cabin is everything we want in a vacation cabin. This cabin is authentic with every thing we need. Very cozy, clean, quiet. Wonderful views of Mt. View Lake. All the needed amenities for outdoor activities plus great wi-fi. Such peace and quiet. A perfect place for us and our two dogs. Thank you so much Doug for letting us stay here all these years.

If you are looking for a place to unwind and enjoy the tranquil lake, listen to loon calls and wake up to the sunrise reflecting on the water, this is the perfect place. We have already booked our stay for 2025 and can't wait to return.

The cottage is very cozy and cute, with log interior with large stone fireplace and gas fireplace. We were disappointed that there was practically no lake or mountain view from the screened porch. Trees and brush obscuring views. The cottage could use a thorough cleaning. Doug, the host, is very knowledgeable about the area and communication with him was very easy. It is best to plan to go to one of the public beaches for swimming or wading.

This was everything we were hoping to get out of a vacation to the Adirondacks. We really enjoyed the scenery and the lake, the local hiking trails and the fishing. The location is very secluded and private, but still within driving distance of activities. The cabin was a bit smaller than I was expecting, but it was a perfect size for our family of 4. It should be said that the loft sleeping area has low ceilings and mattresses on the floor, so good for kids but not really for adults. The screened in back porch was really nice, as was listening to the loons on the lake.

Great secluded property with a beautiful cabin.
Lots of privacy if that what you looking for.
For people that love to swim and have fun in the water, we were disappointed with the lake. It’s simply unusable. I think that should be state very clearly in the description of the property. Yes, you can use a boat, but swimming is impossible.
Also couple of kayaks on the property would be great additions.
Overall, great place on the lake if you are not planning to use the lake for swimming.

We were looking for a getaway far from the cacophony of the city and we found it. A very beautiful setting, comfortable surroundings and peace and quiet. The home was beautiful and serene. There were a few issues of miscommunication, however. Upon booking, the listing stated there was a hot tub, which was the sole reason we chose this place over the other two rentals we were looking at. The listing was mismarked and there was not a hot tub, something we found out upon our arrival. Also, this home requires you to bring your own linens (towels, sheets) which we only found out a week before our stay. This caused an issue as we then had to purchase sheets (we only had king size at home) and pack/travel, with those necessities. Had we been flying it would have been more inconvenient. They also require you to clean upon leaving (as though it were your own house and you were expecting company). Since we had a very long drive to come home and we had to pick up my mother-in-law at 7am, having to pack up sheets and clean before we left the residence in the morning would have been taxing, therefore we chose to leave the night before and rent a hotel room closer to her, which was an added expenditure we really didn't need. Had we been made aware of these at the time of booking, it may have been a different story. Would we visit again? Yes, as we are now aware of what is expected. But we were caught unaware. The home, however, is worth the cons. AMAZING!!!

This was our second year at Camp Critter. We all loved our stay. The cabin is so cute and cozy. There is the screened in porch in case it rains. Then there is the lovely deck where you can sit outside when it is sunny, feeling the nice breeze blowing on your skin. Then there’s the seating area down by the lake which is lovely to sit at and just watch the water and the beautiful sunsets. Doug is a wonderful host and so easy to talk to. Thank You Doug for sharing your lovely Camp.

We had an amazing time at the cabin. Beautiful cabin and views from the dock and sitting areas. Very private and quiet, just what we were looking for. Doug was a great host and we took advantage of a number of his suggestions such as hiking areas and canoe trips. Cabin has every thing you would need and is well kept. We will definitely be back!

We spent a wondeful week in the peace and quiet at the cabin. The cabin is clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a quiet week away on the lake. We kayaked, hiked and fished and enjoyed the solitude. Doug is a great host - he showed us around when we arrived and made sure our stay was everything we expected.
We.would absolutely stay here again! Thanks for sharing your place with us!

This was our first vacation since COVID and we chose Camp Critters for several reasons, it is dog friendly, lakefront, reasonably priced, and pretty close to where my son lives in Massena. We found it to be better than the pictures on VRBO, so cozy and charming, with a well-equipped kitchen and large updated bathroom. The loft was small since our family incudes 5 adults, but we used the pull out couch and it worked out. Some of the things we enjoyed about the cabin include;
1. We loved that it is quiet and secluded. There were other camps across the lake, but our cabin was surrounded by woods and the lake.
2. We love the view of the lake and mountains from the dock.
3. We really appreciated that there are two canoes and a rowboat with the life jackets provided. We canoed out to the bigger lake and saw a family of loons and a bald eagle.
4. It was a little chilly one night and we loved the cozy propane fireplace. There are also 3 outdoor fireplaces and one in the cabin and firewood is provided. We had fires almost every night.
5. I loved the screen porch and that we could leave the double french doors out to the screen porch open and let those cool lake breezes blow through the whole cabin.
Overall this is a great place to get away from it all and enjoy time with your family. It's far from the crowds that you see at the lakes south of here and we loved that. We all want to come back again next year.

We had a wonderful time staying at the cabin! The dock is perfect for putting kayaks in the lake and it's not deep water. Our dogs also enjoyed the property. Lots of areas to just sit and enjoy the outdoors including a screened in porch. The kitchen is nicely appointed and has all the basics. We cooked at the cabin most nights and also used the grill that is available. Doug is a great property manager/owner and is readily available to answer any and all questions. He is very through with an overview of cabin and how everything works upon arrival. Overall - We'd definitely return for another visit!

Camp Critters is everything we had hoped for! The description and other reviews describe it very well. The cabin is rustic, clean and comfortable. We spent lots of time on the screened-in porch as well as sitting down at the lake and enjoying serene sunsets. It is amazing how quiet it is!
We love to hike with our 3 dogs, we found a large variety of trails that we loved. And there are other places to explore if you want to venture farther, like Lake Placid. We wished we had more time!
The owner Doug is very kind and helpful. He is a phone call away if needed, but we never needed him because we had absolutely everything we wanted and needed!
We loved this lovely remote camp and are definitely planning to return. We could not recommend more for those of you who like to be away from it all.

Always peaceful and relaxing
This is my second year staying at this cabin. Douglas is an excellent host. He meets you when you check in and you won't hear from him again until he calls the night before you leave to make sure you had a good stay. He is readily available if needed and is of course knowledgable of the area. There is plenty of wood for the outdoor fireplaces on the property. Lots of wildlife and fishing from the dock, great cabin.

Most relaxing, dog-friendly, vacation we've had in a long time
The Johnson's cabin is the perfect, remote getaway. It's located down a long driveway, far off the road and except for a few boaters or other homes across the lake, there are no people in sight. The cabin is very cabiny :) and reminded me of the cabin my family owned and that I visited as a child in the 1970's, but it also had an upgraded bathroom, which was nice. The only thing that I can think might concern a guest is that towels and sheets are not provided. It didn't bother us at all to have to bring them, but I imagine if you were flying into the area, it might be a hassle. Doug was very gracious and made sure our stay was enjoyable. Our dogs loved it too.

A wonderful cabin with everything there that was needed. Loved being able to canoe, walk, build fires, cook on the grill, play games and enjoy the porch and decks. The area is peaceful and it was a wonderful place to get away and explore the Adirondacks

3 lifelong friends
My girlfriend found Camp Critters 2 years ago on VRBO and we immediately fell in love. This place has everything we need, including fantastic water access for fishing, relaxing on the dock, or utilizing the boats. Plenty of fire pits, games, books, areas to explore, room to play and much more. Our 11 and 12 yr old boys and our dogs love Camp Critters too. This year I booked for myself and two brothers that I grew up with, one just completing stage 4 cancer treatment and beating it. Was a blessing for him to have this time.
As always, Doug is a fantastic host and always available to help out w anything from hiking , shopping, or fishing suggestions.
Camp Critters is our favorite yearly stop. Can’t wait til year #4

Already Looking Forward to Next Year.
This lovely property is just what we were looking for last summer. Our return was just as enjoyable and we have already booked the property for next year. If you're looking for a charming log cabin with lakefront and all the privacy you could want this is the place for you.

Cabin in the woods
We enjoyed our week at this cabin. The lake we were on was perfect for fishing and kayaking.. We felt that we had the lake to ourselves.
We were able to drive our kayaks close to the water , however, it was a little bit of a walk down the path to the water. We were able to get in our kayaks from the dock which was very easy.
The cabin was perfectly described and clean.
We really enjoyed our stay here and would go back.

Relaxing getaway, highly recommended!
This cabin is well maintained on nicely landscaped property. The owner, Douglas, stays next door but you only see him at check in and if anything is needed. The only other cabins you see and hear are across the water. Perfect getaway for a relaxing vacation of solitude in a truly beautiful cabin. I fished of the dock and was not prepared for the caliber of fish here. I lost two lures, one snapped the 10 lb. test line in battle, the other just bit my spinner bait and swivel right off. Great stay! I hope to return again next year, with steel leaders and higher test fishing line!

Splendid Isolation
Doug's Camp is much more than described. The property is immaculate. There are several old fireplaces that serve as outdoor campfires. The short walk down to the lake rewards you with spectacular views, great seating, and a choice of several canoes or a rowboat. The hiking in the area is top notch. Malone is only a short drive North for groceries, etc. The cabin is well appointed and very comfortable. We look forward to visiting again.

Relaxing and picturesque setting
This was a beautiful, relaxing cabin. Our hosts, the Johnson's, have thought of everything and made it available to use. From the canoes and row boat to a walking stick and board games and dvds everything you need for a wonderful vacation is right at your finger tips. Doug also gave us some suggestions for short, easy hikes that were much appreciated. We definitely would recommend this for anyone looking to decompress and unwind from a hectic world.

Peaceful & Quiet Getaway
We had a great stay at Cozy Critters! The property was very well cared for and Doug was extremely helpful and such a great host. Such a special place to get away from it all. The first 20 minutes there we saw an eagle fly over the lake. We along with our dog enjoyed ourselves very much and hiked, relaxed by the lake and overall just relaxed. I would definitely stay here again!

A Wonderful Place to Relax and Enjoy Nature!
We loved our stay at this beautiful cabin. We were so happy to be able to relax and unplug from our cell phones and the internet. This is a perfect spot to just appreciate watching the clouds and waves on the lake from the perfect rocker chairs in the trees, birds flitting, stars at night, peace and QUIET. The cabin is lovely and cozy with great views and fireplace(s) and the kitchen is well-equipped with all the essentials, plus there are games and DVDs for rainy days. Thanks so much!

Our week spent at Camp Critters was one of the best vacations ever! I highly reccommend this property if you want to relax in a beautifully kept rustic cabin and enjoy a private dock on a quiet lake. Doug makes sure you have everything you want/need without ever intruding on your privacy. Can't wait to return next year!!
