We loved meeting our host and visiting his studio. The ice cream and pizza from the neighbor's restaurant were awesome. The view of the lake and nearby hiking to Hope Falls were so worth it. The drive north along a scenic byway is not to be missed. We relaxed and had a great time. It was a warmer than normal week and screened windows would've helped, but the breeze on the porch was great.

We were looking to escape the heat and humidity of summer in Richmond, Va. and boy did we find it! We were a little concerned that the cabin did not have A/C, but we didn't need. The weather was fantastic. We loved the cabin and the road that dead ended at the lake was perfect for walking our dogs. Bill was a fantastic host who offered us several suggestions of things to do during our visit. we would definitely consider going back.

Me, my husband, 14 year old twins and two dogs wanted to get away from the craziness of life for a few days and this was just what we needed. Bill is friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. His property is beautiful. The whole area is perfect!

Great cabin in a great location. Enjoyed the water view, fishing , swimming and bonfires on the lake. Would highly recommend! Bill was awesome.

Bill was there to greet us at the property at the time of check in. We loved the antique interior of the house. Bill was a delightful host and would love to visit the cabin again.

This cabin was prefect and captured the "Vibe" of the Adirondacks. Bill was a great host. The cabin was rustic but comfortable and quirky. It was fully equipped and met our needs. We had to come here under difficult circumstances (funeral) but this comfortable and homey cabin did much to soothe our souls.

My partner, our 2 year old, dog and myself had a great stay at Bills cabin. It was so nice and relaxing, full kitchen with everything you’d need. You can see the lake from the big window in the living area. Bill was so accommodating and helped out when needed, always available. We are already planning a summer trip up north. Awesome find!

Hopefully the fact we came back says it all! And we'll be back again. Location is awesome, cabin is unique and charming and Bill is an attentive host and nice guy. I almost don't want to be honest because it is getting too hard to book the property!

The cabin is absolutely beautiful and wonderfully decorated. Windows let in plenty of light and the atmosphere is great. It’s a comfortable place to spend a good chunk of time and there’s plenty to do in the area. Bill was a great host and very accommodating. He met us at the property despite a late evening arrival and was quick to respond messages/questions throughout the visit.Would definitely return for another stay.

Bill was so helpful and greeted us at check in. The cabin was perfect for us: it was close to skiing, out the door hiking to take the dogs, and the cabin had a lot of personality, which we loved.

Enjoyed our vacation in the cabin (2/21). Arrived Friday -(owner allowed early check in) left on a Monday. Cabin was comfy, but seemed "man-cleaned" so we gave it a touch up. No operable fire place currently - owner might change that. Concerns over electrical wiring in cabin. Clearly not to code. Lots of wires looped over beams to power strips, open electrical outlet (wire nuts & tape exposed). We therefore looked for smoke & carbon monoxide detectors and there were none. We hope the owner will make it safe for future guests. We had an issue with loss of heat on our final night. We contacted the owner (he lives close by). We think that he thought we were over-reacting and just trying to turn the heat up beyond the hold pattern. This resulted in our heat going down to 53 degrees in the cabin. He did come to the cabin approximately 1 AM to fix- which he did. We don't think this will reoccur as he was extremely apologetic and stated this was his first winter renting year round. In summary, great location, great little town, friendly owner, cabin needs work.

We had a lovely long weekend at Bill's cabin. As others have said, it is SO much nicer than the photos! It is well located for cross-country skiing at Lapland Lake, but we also had a lovely time skiing on the (very) frozen lake, right out of the door, and no issues with taking our ski dog with us there :-) . Bill was a super-helpful host. I expect we'll be back!

A very tastefully put together log cabin, with a lot of character. A nice view from the porch, and the river/lake is right there for a walk on the banks. It was an amazing way to spend a couple of beautiful winter days in Feb .

We had a great stay at the cabin.

Bill was an excellent host for this great authentic log cabin property. We had a wonderful getaway long weekend (dogs included)! The cabin was warm and had all we needed to snuggle in read books, listen to music and watch the snow fall. We loved all the curious collectibles. We had a great day snowshoeing at nearby Lapland Lake Resort.

We are going back hopefully in six weeks. Bill was a terrific host, and the cabin was beyond expectations. The VRBO photos do not do it justice. It was our first "vacation" in a year, and we could not have been happier with how everything turned out.

Wonderful long NYE weekend. Bills a great host. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable of the area and very accommodating. Bills cabin is great-clean and a fully stocked kitchen. Decorated with unique one of a kind eclectic pieces. It is perfect for up to 4 people. Our pups loved it. It's a very short walk to the beautiful rivers edge. You can see the river from the screened in porch of the cabin which is amazing. The views are beautiful and picturesque. We can't wait to return in the warmer weather. Thank you, Ali

Had a great stay - plenty of trails nearby, not far from town, in a quiet location, cosy cabin, modern kitchen, lake community, host was helpful and friendly. Would stay there again!

Visiting anywhere in Covid is stressful but Bill’s cabin was perfect for a relaxing weekend. The cabin was extremely clean and very comfortable and inviting! Close to the lake for walks with my dog and easy to get out to good hiking spots. It is in a little bit of a neighborhood but has a country feel. Very good for someone that wants to dip their toes into a country stay but not for those who want total isolation. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend getaway from the city!

We were looking for a cabin in the woods and were ecstatic to find just that. The cabin was very clean and is well stocked with all of the necessary amenities for a weekend away. We enjoyed a hike nearby and a walk down to the beach on the river. Thanks, Bill!! We hope to return soon.

Our stay was too short, but we thoroughly enjoyed the cabin, morning coffee on the porch and the cool bonfire under the stars at the beach in the adirondack chairs that Bill set up for us. I took a bunch of allergy meds, and didn't need any of it. No sign of the normal cabin critters either and everything worked very well. Bill is a wonderful host! We would stay here again and for longer.

We spent a late season long weekend at Bill's cabin to celebrate our anniversary and couldn't have been happier with our stay. The cabin is open and airy without the Adirondack musty feel but still cozy and charming... a little bit eclectic and perfectly imperfect, kind of Martha Stewart meets Led Zeppelin in the best of ways. We found everything we needed there for our stay, the cabin was clean and very comfortable and amenities are within minutes for anything extra one might need. Bill is a wonderful host, helpful, accommodating and one of the more interesting people you will meet. A few minutes visiting with Bill and a long weekend at his cabin will be time well spent.

A sweet, rustic cabin situated above the lake, nestled in between brightly colored leaves, made for a peaceful and relaxing mini vacation. Our warm and welcoming host, Bill made us feel right at home. He gave us plenty of helpful information about nearby places to check out. We so enjoyed our stay that it was hard to leave. We’ll definitely return. Thank you, Bill!

I grew up in the area and wanted a place to call my own while visiting friends and family, and the cabin was a perfect! It was a cozy, authentic, wonderful place to stay. I loved the quirky eclecticism- there were so many cool things to look at and I'm sure that there is a little history behind much of it. It was a quick walk to the lake and my dog had a blast; morning coffee on the screened porch was a was a treat, and Bill was a gracious host from start to finish, making sure that we had everything we needed for our stay.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here. Bill is wonderful and was very accommodating! We enjoyed our time in the cabin. It was wonderful to put our feet up and relax. Bill provided us dry wood for a fire down by the lake. It was a perfect spot for the occasion. I would highly recommend this cabin and we are definitely looking forward to our next stay.

Nice

Bill was the consummate host, and his charming cabin was the perfect place to spend a week in the mountains with our nature-loving dog. If you're looking for luxury, this isn't the place. But if you're looking for a cozy, clean and comfortable place to spend a week in the mountains - with great hiking and biking, beautiful lakes and a host who really cares about making your stay a great and memorable one - this is the place to stay. (And we also had one of the best meals we've ever eaten at a restaurant in town called Local... which is saying a lot since we live in NYC :)

Bill was a great host, he had suggestions of what to do while in the area which were helpful. The cabin is very rustic with many interesting artifacts. The water was close, a short walk down the street. Our dog loved playing on the beach and in the water. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Loved this place, having never being to the Great Lake Sacandaga we wanted a place close to the water with a dock and this was just what we were looking for and more, there are also trails to hike and it’s ideal to go for a walk or run. The owner Bill is a fantasy guy and was more than helpful with any of our needs, and when we ran into mechanical issues with the boat he reached out to people he knows in the business to help us. We definitely recommend this place

We had a great time and Bill, the owner, was very accommodating and always there with whatever we needed. The area is super convenient and a very short walk to the private beach. Lots of hiking, fishing, sightseeing or just relaxing on the beach. We are already planning for next year.
