About this house rental

Rents from mid October to mid May. Hot Tub! Waterfront! Rocky River Chalet is an immaculately elegant, charming & private cabin with 3 bedrooms, a sleeping loft with futon, 2 full kitchens & 3 full bathrooms, on 10 private acres with a hot tub, along the West Branch of the Ausable River. Rocky River Chalet is 3 miles from the Whiteface Olympic ski center, near High Peaks hiking trails & has 600 feet of river front, prime territory for your avid fly fisherman.

The river is a pleasant walk away through the cabin's wooded yard, & a relaxing spot to take your morning coffee, or watch the shades of evening draw on. Two fully equipped kitchens & a washer-dryer, complement high speed, wireless internet access & an Entertainment Center equipped with HDTV, satellite TV, & a DVR featuring Pandora, Netflix, laptop projection on the flat screen TV, making Rocky River Chalet your home-away-from-home in the Adirondacks.

The master bedroom has a queen-sized bed, across the hall from a guest room with queen bed, while the sleeping loft has a comfortable futon. An efficiency studio downstairs adds the 3rd bedroom-bath-kitchen, and features an outdoor swing bench with a weatherproof roof.

No other houses are visible from the property, & a spacious wrap around porch surveys the yard, which is ringed by birches, hardwoods & cedar. A large camp fire pit sets the rendezvous point for family gatherings & picnics.

Many of these Vacation Rental Cabins are on small plots, along fairly busy roads. Be sure to ask about privacy and road noise!


Runners, cyclists, cross-country skiers & hikers will run out of time, long before they run out of stunning mountain vistas to enrich their exercise, which is a major reason Ironman is held here every July. When your busy vacation day fades to dusk, there are several fine restaurants within a mile or so of Rocky River Chalet, & if you want to make a full night of it, the Olympic Village of Lake Placid beckons, 12 miles away through the Wilmington notch along the Ausable River, one of the most beautiful drives in America,.

Don't forget your camera, as wildlife sightings include bobcat, red fox, fisher, the harmless Adirondack black bear & moose. If you don't see any of them, Guests may visit the nearby Adirondack Wildlife Refuge & Rehabilitation Center, where friends & family can meet and learn all about grey wolves, coyotes, fox, bobcat, bald eagle & other birds of prey. The Refuge has canoes and kayaks, as well as public fishing access on Lake Everest,

This is a relaxing cabin, where you will put your busy careers on hold, spend quality time with friends & family, & renew yourselves, surrounded by the incomparable beauty of the Adirondack Mountains. House-trained dogs are welcome, as long as owner brings crate, & agrees that dog will be crated, whenever dog's owner is not in the house. Absolutely no smoking indoors. Rocky River Chalet has a minimum 2 night stay, & is only available from Oct. 8th - May 15th.

Let me start with saying the cabin was very nice and clean but the property advertises a hot tub which is one of the main reasons we decided with this place over others but when we got there the hot tub was only half full which made it hardly usable. The next day it was lower which made it unusable. I contacted the manager politely and he accused us of “hanky panky” which was not the case and stated he will not be coming out to fill it when I assured him that it was that way when we arrived and was no fault of our own. Later I inspected the hot tub to find a hole in the side where water was leaking out with some mildew showing that this hole was not new, and I sent pictures to the manager as proof so he couldn’t accuse us of “hanky panky” again. He came that night to fill it but it was far to late to use it before it could warm up. We had to check out the next morning. We came here excited for the hot tub but we could not use it and were accused of foul play. To their credit the morning of our departure the manager told me he has never been wrong in 20 years about hot tubs, and that I was right but I still never received that apology. Outside of the rudeness of the manager and the extremely large safety deposit it was a great and beautiful cabin.

Home was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. We were skiing/riding Whiteface mountain which was just a short drive away. At the end of a beautiful street, it was a great location for a small group. Very quiet in a nice town with everything you could ask for within short walking or driving distance.

The house was beautiful and perfect to stay in. We were close to the hiking trails and the village of Lake Placid. The kids loved it!! It felt like home and we didn’t want to leave. Quiet, secluded and relaxing.
