My husband and I were looking for a quiet place to relax and this was perfect. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the cabin and spent many hours outside listening to the sound of the water flowing nearby. Communication was great and the cabin is well-stocked with kitchen and laundry items. We would definitely stay here again.

The Cabin was so cozy! Downstairs bedroom was clean and comfortable.
They had a whole handbook of info to know, essentials for cooking and a laundry station.
Wifi was minimal so I wouldn't plan on working or streaming here!

We arrived at the property to find music softly playing, twinkle lights on the fireplace mantle, fresh flowers in every room and a wonderful basket of goodies that included homemade cookies and a welcoming note. Our cabin was just what we needed for a week of peace and quiet; enjoying afternoons in front of the fire. We cooked most meals in and had everything you would need and more! I couldn't recommend this cabin more highly and will definitely keep it on my "must return to" list. Thank you for making our stay so special.

My wife and I spent 19 days at the Brookside Cabin starting 8/16/23. The cabin was immaculate. It was so clean you'd think it was brand new. Everything worked perfectly. The cabin was very comfortable, and well stocked with everything you'll need for an extended stay. There were home made cookies and wood set up in the fireplace waiting to be lit. Its a short walk to restaurants and super close to hiking, biking, kayaking, concerts, plays, movies. We had the perfect relaxing vacation.

Our group enjoyed our third annual visit with great comfort and all the amenities we needed for a long weekend of tough high peaks hiking. Anticipating another trip next year. Can’t recommend this cabin strongly enough!

We had the best stay in this little cabin, based ourselves here for hiking and fishing. The cabin is just perfect, the owners have thought of everything you could possibly need, with some cute personal touches too. They were kind enough to accommodate our dog and he was even greeted with his own bag of home made dog cookies. Close enough to keen valley to walk to the old mountain coffee company where you can get great coffee and breakfast, and there is a pub at the end of the road for a drink in the evening. One of the trailheads is a short walk or drive up the road. We didn’t want to leave and will 100% be coming back!

The cabin in the woods of my dreams! The cabin was lovely, very clean and had exactly what we needed. The location was great we really enjoyed have the brook steps away from the back porch. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We really enjoyed our second stay at this location. Quick drive to the Garden parking area and great local area. Cabin had everything we needed for a long weekend stay. Looking forward to a future visit.

Great location backing up to Johns Brook. Leanto is great for a campfire and private view of Brook. House was very clean and perfect size for our family of 4. Quick access to several high peak trailheads and Lake Placid town. Would definitely rent again without hesitation.

Cabin was the perfect setting for enjoying the beautiful fall scenery. We did a little hiking and there were several trails to choose from close by. Can’t wait to go back.

Clean, comfortable, charming cabin. Back porch facing woods, with delightful sound of John’s Brook just beyond, offered relaxation and ideal spot for meditation.

My friend and I returned to the Brookside Cabin for another hiking weekend after our first excellent experience last year. Everyone from Lana the property manager to the cleaning team to the maintenance folks was helpful, kind, and responsive. The cabin itself is great and the setting is unrivaled, especially for post-hike recovery. I anticipate returning again!

This is a well-equipped, very clean, and comfortable cabin with an excellent location fronting a brook. It was ideal for the two of us. The surroundings were very quiet without being too isolated. The cookies were a very nice treat. We recommend this property.

Tranquility in the Adirondacks
We loved our stay at the Brookside Cabin! The cabin was very cozy,clean and comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked so we cooked a number of meals. The best part is the location which is right next to a beautiful, pristine brook!! The sound of the brook was mesmerizing and so relaxing. Our only complaint is we had difficulty getting the heat to turn on our first, somewhat chilly night. All in all though, probably the best vrbo rental we have ever had (& we've had a lot)! Will surely come back!!

Great stay at cabin in the Adirondacks
We had a great time staying at this cabin for a long weekend in Keene Valley, a great location for hiking in the high peaks and lots of great local hikes. The cabin was warm and welcoming and had everything we needed to be comfortable to stay and cook our own meals. My children loved the outdoors and access to see the river. The cabin was exactly as described, a lovely cabin , plenty of room for 4, and very responsive communication from the property manager. We had a great stay!

The real estate agent called us in advance to alert us of an incoming snowstorm the day of our arrival, and the owners made the cabin available to us one day earlier so we would not have to travel in the storm. I left work a day early and worked remotely from their cozy loft with a desk and window overlooking a great view of the fir trees and falling snow. We enjoyed the homemade cookies, and ventured out to the river in the backyard. Our adventures from the cabin included snowshoeing up Mt. Esther, cross-country skiing, ice hockey on Mirror Lake in Lake Placid, and snowboarding. Great location, well stocked home, and owners who really cared about us enjoying our stay.

Absolutely beautiful
This cabin was an amazing getaway. The cabin and the area were both beautiful. The cabin had everything you could ask for and was close enough to the ski resorts that we got to celebrate the Olympics with some time at an old Olympics site. We are hoping to stay again!

Very clean, nice little touches when you arrive. Radiant floor heating yields no cold spots and you stay toasty warm (9 degrees was the lowest temp when we stayed) Nice fireplace, comfortable bed and well appointed kitchen. The lean-to by the brook has an outdoor fire pit and two ADK chairs. The loft is a great place to work a put 1, maybe two, small children. The owner's home sits at the top of the hill on the property so it is not as private as the pictures lead you to believe but no one bothered us. This would be a 5 star property all the way around if the living room furniture was updated. It's hard to enjoy a comfortable night in with a rustic love seat and chair that have wooden arms and little resilience from their cushions.

My husband and I stayed at the house for my 40th birthday. The house was great, just what the pictures reflected. Behind the cabin is a river that was amazing and felt secluded. The location is off the beaten path in a small town but within 30 minutes of Lake Placid and 60 minutes to Lake George. It was perfect. Overall experience was an A+.

We absolutely Loved the Brookside cabin! Yes, I highly recommend it! As soon as we stepped into the cabin, there was a welcoming warmth - yup, from the feeling of the home! The bed was so comfortable; and I had an amazing sleep! The kids, too, all slept wonderfully on the trundle bed in the loft. Nina's thoughtful, personal touches were so kind and appreciated - fresh wildflowers, homemade chocolate chip cookies and even a personal note! The home was immaculate & just beautiful! Oh, and the fireplace was prepared and ready for a fire that evening. So convenient & appreciated having a washer & dryer. The brook running behind the home was gorgeous; and we could've spent nearly a whole day there! The lean-to is perfect for an evening fire & s'mores. Really, this place is a gem and we would return in a heart beat. Nina is a gem too!

Great stay on John’s Brook
My friend and I stayed at the Brookside Cabin for a summer hiking weekend and had a fantastic time. The cabin - more of a rustic house with all the modern trappings - was immaculate. As an avid camper and backpacker, it was nice to come home from a 12-hour hike to a private shower and washer/dryer for a change. It was very hot and humid when we were there, so the upstairs loft was a bit tough for sleeping (admittedly, we didn’t look for any fans - there may have been some stowed away). Because of the heat, we also didn’t feel compelled to use the fireplace, so I’m looking forward to coming back in the cool weather sometime. I would very gladly stay here again!

Relax, Refresh, Refuel
What a sweet little cabin in the woods! Perfect for my husband and me. ( the loft would add a space for some children if they are of an age to not fall down steps). There is only one bathroom but not an issue for us. The kitchen was nicely stocked with everything I needed to cook meals “at home”. There is no air conditioning but also not a problem…a beautiful breeze seemed to always be present. The constant sound of the brook was magical. Would recommend this place for anyone who needs to get away for a while. There are many hikes in close proximity to the cabin. Would definitely return.

This property has the quintessential cabin in the woods feel but is close to everything. Beautifully maintained property perfect for anyone interested in hiking the high peaks or wanting to head into Lake Placid. Absolutely loved the property, location, and our experience. Already looking at dates to book again. I’d give it six stars if I could
