Critter Cabin is everything we want in a vacation cabin. This cabin is authentic with every thing we need. Very cozy, clean, quiet. Wonderful views of Mt. View Lake. All the needed amenities for outdoor activities plus great wi-fi. Such peace and quiet. A perfect place for us and our two dogs. Thank you so much Doug for letting us stay here all these years.

If you are looking for a place to unwind and enjoy the tranquil lake, listen to loon calls and wake up to the sunrise reflecting on the water, this is the perfect place. We have already booked our stay for 2025 and can't wait to return.

The cottage is very cozy and cute, with log interior with large stone fireplace and gas fireplace. We were disappointed that there was practically no lake or mountain view from the screened porch. Trees and brush obscuring views. The cottage could use a thorough cleaning. Doug, the host, is very knowledgeable about the area and communication with him was very easy. It is best to plan to go to one of the public beaches for swimming or wading.

This was everything we were hoping to get out of a vacation to the Adirondacks. We really enjoyed the scenery and the lake, the local hiking trails and the fishing. The location is very secluded and private, but still within driving distance of activities. The cabin was a bit smaller than I was expecting, but it was a perfect size for our family of 4. It should be said that the loft sleeping area has low ceilings and mattresses on the floor, so good for kids but not really for adults. The screened in back porch was really nice, as was listening to the loons on the lake.

Great secluded property with a beautiful cabin. Lots of privacy if that what you looking for. For people that love to swim and have fun in the water, we were disappointed with the lake. It’s simply unusable. I think that should be state very clearly in the description of the property. Yes, you can use a boat, but swimming is impossible. Also couple of kayaks on the property would be great additions. Overall, great place on the lake if you are not planning to use the lake for swimming.

We were looking for a getaway far from the cacophony of the city and we found it. A very beautiful setting, comfortable surroundings and peace and quiet. The home was beautiful and serene. There were a few issues of miscommunication, however. Upon booking, the listing stated there was a hot tub, which was the sole reason we chose this place over the other two rentals we were looking at. The listing was mismarked and there was not a hot tub, something we found out upon our arrival. Also, this home requires you to bring your own linens (towels, sheets) which we only found out a week before our stay. This caused an issue as we then had to purchase sheets (we only had king size at home) and pack/travel, with those necessities. Had we been flying it would have been more inconvenient. They also require you to clean upon leaving (as though it were your own house and you were expecting company). Since we had a very long drive to come home and we had to pick up my mother-in-law at 7am, having to pack up sheets and clean before we left the residence in the morning would have been taxing, therefore we chose to leave the night before and rent a hotel room closer to her, which was an added expenditure we really didn't need. Had we been made aware of these at the time of booking, it may have been a different story. Would we visit again? Yes, as we are now aware of what is expected. But we were caught unaware. The home, however, is worth the cons. AMAZING!!!

This is a gem. Have stayed here several times and it's always perfect. Beautiful setting and quaint, unspoiled cabin. Thank you so much Doug!

Peaceful, quiet, enjoyable. Fabulous, cozy cabin, serene lake. Great place for our dogs for hiking & swimming. Doug is a wonderful person/host. Surrounding ADK area has a lot of adventure & beauty.
