I was impressed by both the view of the Adirondack mountains from the kitchen table to wake up to each morning and the amenities at the property. Not only did we enjoy the amazing Japanese hot tub, but the friendly guard made us feel so safe! She even brought us a stick when we were making a bonfire. I was also surprised there was a clothes washing unit in the cabin, a charcoal grill, a fire pit which we really enjoyed, an oven under the stovetop, and many basic spices and dishes. The wifi was very good and might even be nice for a work-from-home getaway. The town of North Creek was also very close for getting good gas and groceries. I’d suggest for future renters to take a lantern to do bonfires at night and to make sure the group is ok with the small cemetery close by, although it would be perfect as well for a Halloween adventure. Overall we really enjoyed spending our time together at this cabin and it felt like a tiny house! For 2 people who’ve never stayed in a cabin before, it was very comfortable, and having other cabins, guard dog Bella, and Leslie on the property made us feel safe. I’d definitely stay here again!

Adorable style of cottages and out buildings on this pretty hobby farm above the Hudson River gorge. Rustic but comfortable and quiet. The Japanese style hot tub in it's private out building was a perfect remedy for a long day of hiking.

Charming

It’s evident the care that went into preserving this homestead. The pieces used in the farmstead cabin show the love of history. Sweet puppy Bella made us laugh, lovely Sammy reminded us of our old pup left at home. Our only regret was not staying more than 1 night! Our greeters were the 4 red hens who came and sat with us during our outdoor cocktails...

We used this place as our base of operations to explore the ADKs for 4 days. We enjoyed the location. The Farmstand was a neat, quaint, charming cabin. The weather was perfect. The nights were cool. We were visited by Sammy every morning and night. We also tried the Rev Rail, went to 13th lake, mined for garnet, climbed Whiteface Mt., took a steamboat cruise on Lake George, drove through the ADKs and stopped at random places to explore. The host was great and we loved our experience here. Also, HeyDays in North Creek - great place to grab a bite to eat.

My family of 4 had a wonderful stay in the Farmstand Cabin. This is a gorgeous area of the Adirondacks with tons to do nearby. Cabin had a VHS and lots of videos, a fun trip down memory lane. Pizzas were tasty and the owners were awesome and accommodating after the starter on our car broke and we needed to get a tow out on our last day. Really nice weekend getaway where things can slow down and become quiet. Stars at night were extraordinary.

My husband, dog and I rented this cabin for Fourth of July weekend. It was beautiful, tranquil, and very relaxing. The only thing to note is there are other guests on the property, which I might have wanted to consider ahead of time since I wouldn’t want to bring my dog to someplace with other guests. Otherwise, great experience!

Cottage was very beautiful beautiful and comfortable and wonderful outdoor Views

Great cottage on a serene piece of property in the Adirondacks

Walkways and drive were dangerously icy. Cabin was so poorly lit we couldn’t use the living room. However, the hot tub was delicious.

Like you were wandering in deep mountain forests then chanced upon a perfect little valley, and there is a cabin, with a view, and cozy beds, a kitchen well-stocked with cooking items and baking trays, and a hot tub spa that is beyond words. The owner has built a very special world here. You can even bring your Chihuahua.

Will be back

Loved the little wagon with name of farm, and iron gate at main entrance!We stayed in the Farmstand cabin and absolutely loved it along with the Japanese hot tub very romantic!

Everything was fine except the couch has seen better days. Would definitely book again.

This is a truly bucolic place set with other amenities, on a hobby farm, with fruit trees, chickens, ducks, pizza, a spa. The farm is at about 1400 feet in a valley surrounded by mountains and quiet. Leslie supplies firewood for chilly nights and a fire pit. You wake up to quacking ducks. The area has numerous, terrific hiking trails. North Creek and Indian Lake are both villages with atmosphere, quirkiness and charm. We had a delightful five days. Couldn't have been nicer.

Will definitely rent again

We had a very comfortable stay at the Farmstead cottage at the North River Hobby Farm. My husband, son and I enjoyed the cottage and surroundings. We cooked a lot and also enjoyed pizza one night from the pizza oven. The kitchen is well-stocked. We also enjoyed the hot tub on the property - very relaxing. The hosts are friendly and accessible. My 6-year old son liked meeting the ducks on the property. We had the opportunity to take a rail-bike on the nearby Revolution Rail train tracks. I can see coming back with other people, as there are cottages and glamping tent sites on the property, which makes it an ideal place to have a group getaway.

This was a cozy cabin that met all our needs for a ski get away to Gore Mountain. The cabin was warm and cozy. The kitchen was well equipped with pots, pans and utensils - all we needed to make a nice dinner after skiing. Though we didn't meet the hosts, they were quick to reply to any question we had. We had a wonderful trip.

We had a great stay, the area was beautiful and the accommodations were perfect. My daughter loved Sammy (the owners dog), he’s very friendly and will hang out with you. They’re chickens & ducks that roam the property also. All in all we had a fantastic time and I’d like to go again next year.

The location was everything I'd imagined and then some. The cabin was perfect, although the bed was a tad small for our needs. The kitchen was clean and has all the utensils you'll need. Loved the retro style! The farm itself provided an idyllic setting for relaxation, with the sounds of the trees rustling in the wind gently putting you to sleep as you lounge in the patio chairs thoughtfully provided by Leslie and her family. Our kids had loads of fun playing with the ducks, hens and Sammy (who's a good boy?!) There's delicious pizza in the evenings made fresh by Leslie in the wood-burning oven. History and beauty combine to provide the guest an unforgettable experience at the Hobby Farm. Recommend.

Leslie was very friendly and accommodating. Had her wood fired pizza one evening. It was a tasty special treat! Sammy was sweet and wonderful with our dog. Area is close to a charming town if you forget anything.. I highly recommend staying here.

Nice host that was accommodating and privacy was just enough

We loved this place! Beautiful farm with amazing fruit trees, chicken and one lovely dog called Sami. My kids really fell in love with him. The 13th lake which is 5 min drive from the farm is a real gem.

Our stay was too short to experience all what this hobby farm in Adirondack has to offer. We enjoyed the Mountain View, the nature, the chicken around. Still to experience the hiking guide, pizza and the spa etc...,

I am so glad I came across Leslie's hobby farm. It was the vacation spot I didn't know I needed! We stayed in the Farmhouse. It had a full kitchen which was convenient. It was great to have indoor and outdoor meal options. There was also a nice little patio set where we would grill, have a bon fire, and relax. Speaking of relaxing... give the Spa a try! The area is nice and private. The views were amazing, and it was such a treat at the end of a long day. Also, make sure to swing by on pizza night...It was fun and super tasty. Also, get in some visits with Sammy the dog. He's great company.

We came for my daughters 21st birthday, we had an amazing time and very much enjoyed the cottage, it was beautiful, rustic, Quaint and wishy washy and filled with yard sale treasures. I would not of changed a thing. The pizza was amazing and a great suggestion seen as it is in a remote area, we also has fresh eggs for breakfast from the chicken coop. The hot tub was amazing and our trip was a great experience with memories we will treasure forever. I liked the fact that there was no big flat screen TV so I could enjoy and chat with my family and not be distracted by technology. Thank you

We had a great time with nice cottage, hand made pizza, big nature, camp fire, stars and Japanese style bath "Sento". Thanks to friendly owner family including their dog.

Will be returning soon!

This charming small cottage is set on an idyllic farm in the Adirondacks. Near great hiking trails and a pristine lake for swimming, kayaking and canoeing. Loved everything about our stay.

Fits 2 adults and 2 children comfortably. The boys enjoyed the ducks, chickens, and Sammy the dog

This cabin is the ideal place for a small family to spend time skiing at Gore mountain or summering in the Adirondacks. It's very cute but only comfortably sleeps 3-4. There's a loft with a queen bed, a twin bed and a couch which is comfortable to sleep on. There's 1 bathroom and a kitchen. I went skiing with my son and nephew and it fit us fine. We enjoyed the proximity to Gore (about 10 minutes away), stayed warm with the wood burning stove and overall enjoyed our stay. Leslie is a great property owner and had the wood burning stove turned on for us.

The worst stay ever! We arrived to a broken sink with dirty dishes in it. The next day the sink was fixed but the dirty dishes remained. There was not adequate heat for the Adirondacks or anywhere for that matter. We woke up and the shack was barely 50 degrees. Owner advertised that it slept 5. Not even close! It sleeps 3. The couch looked like it had been taken from a crack den. The sheets were filthy and there dead bugs on the ledges of every window. We left a day early! The owner did refund us for a night. This experience makes me question reviews on VRBO. The ones I read were all good. Not sure how?? A truly terrible experience. Place needs heat and major cleaning.
