About this cabin rental

The Dakotais a new, modern, four-season, log-sided cabin on Lake Algonquin in the southern Adirondack mountains. The Yogi and the Dakota were built in 2016 by David and Jennifer Woodward of Wells, NY. The cabins were named after their two dogs they raised for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. My Wife Crystal and I have been guests at both cabins many times throughout the years. David and Jennifer were always the most gracious of hosts which made the experience that much more special.

In 2022 Crystal and I became the new owners of the cabins. We could not be more thrilled to be able to continue to enjoy the cabins and to have the opportunity to share them the with our guests.

We are a family friendly property requiring guests to be a minimum age 25 unless accompanied by a guardian. Dogs are welcome with prior approval. In the spring, summer, and fall, enjoy canoeing, kayaking and fishing using our canoe and kayaks. Paddle up the Sacandaga River or over to Lake Algonquin directly from our property . Our boats are available based on spring and fall weather. Boats are always available from May 15th to October 1st. Our grill is charcoal, just bring your charcoal and lighter fluid and enjoy outdoor cooking! - or just sit back and enjoy the wilderness that is the North Country. Behind the cabin is a large flat area for activities and a fire pit for s'mores and relaxing in the evenings. On a clear night, the stars are amazing!

It's a short walk or drive to the town beach, where you can swim or soak up the sun. Or, explore the many hiking trails in the area, leading up mountains, to waterfalls, or into the solitude of the forest.

In the fall, the leaves are spectacular! There are many beautiful scenic byways you can drive right from our doorstep.

In the winter, enjoy skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, tubing, ice skating and snowmobiling. Hamilton County has some of the best Snowmobiling in NY. Our cabin is directly on the NYS trail system with access to hundreds of miles of groomed, marked snowmobile trails. We also have plenty of parking for your snowmobile trailer.

The first floor features a living room with a leather sectional sofa and a 42"flat-screen television with DIRECTV and a DVD player. The dining room includes seating for six. There is a modern kitchen with a stainless electric stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave oven and coffee-maker. The downstairs bedroom has a queen-sized bed. The bathroom has a bathtub and a washer and dryer. There is a screened porch out the back door, and a full open covered porch out front.

The second floor includes a full bathroom with a shower. The upstairs bedroom has a full-sized bed and twin bunks tucked into an alcove, and a 32" flat-screen television with DIRECTV and a DVD player.

There is W-Fi with high speed internet and a land-line telephone. The cabin is equipped with central heating and air-conditioning.

We loved our time at the Dakota! The access to kayaks and canoes was a highlight! The covered back porch was lovely for evenings outside without bugs! Our dog enjoyed the big yard and the extra touches inside (bowls, couch covers and a toy!). All the kitchen items right there - you thought of everything (except a strainer). The location was perfect! Make sure to stop at Uncle Carl's Coffee shop across the street! Best coffee and chai!!!

The Dakota cabin was adorable and very clean. The bed in the downstairs bedroom was very uncomfortable to sleep on though. My girls absolutely loved the bunk beds! I wish it was a little more private. I didn’t realize how close the other cabin was, so I was always telling the kids to be quiet when we were on the porch early in the morning. Also, everything is far away, there wasn’t much to do that wasn’t a far drive, or that we would have to leave the dogs alone for an all day trip. I should have done a little more research on the location before booking. But all in all it was a good trip.

Enjoyed a very lovely 3 day girl's weekend here with my mother. The cabin is very cozy and nicely furnished in addition to being clean and well kept. Host was responsive and welcoming. We will likely look to stay here again for our next long weekend escape.

Our family of five plus our pup stayed at the Dakota for a little getaway weekend for my husbands birthday. The cabin was even nicer in person than in the photos, very clean and very well appointed with everything you could need. My 3 boys loved the bunk room which was perfect for them, and there was even a dog bed and bowels for our four legged girl. The one and only thing that I could say is that both my husband and I found the downstairs bed to be a bit uncomfortable. It was still a bit too cold to take advantage of the canoes or kayaks, but we did make a cozy fire in the fire pit after going on some nearby hikes. The kitchen had everything I needed to make dinner our first there. Well stocked with any type of pot/pan, utensils you could need. Our second day we had taken the quick ride to Northville to check out the cute town. We stopped at the school so our boys could play on the large playground and then had dinner at the Alpine Grill on the way back to the cabin. We had a nice meal with many choices for everyone. We had a lovely relaxing weekend and all agree we want to go back when the weather is warmer to take advantage of all the cabin and area has to offer.

We loved our stay at the Dakota. It snowed unexpectedly on our second day and as soon as it stopped, we were delighted that the owner had the entire driveway plowed for us! The kitchen is especially well furnished and we had everything that we needed for a lovely weekend away!

Communication with host was great. John was very responsive. The cabin was easy to find. Parking is open and spacious. It’s super cute! Decorated nicely. We loved the fire pit out back as well as the enclosed porch. Interior was roomy, perfect for 2-4 adults. Both my husband and I thought the mattress and couch weren’t super comfortable. The shower tub was also pretty small.
