Summary: Such a sweet spot! My son and I really appreciated unplugging, hiking from the house and driving just short little trips for a dinner out in Keene.

Summary: Everything about this trip was perfect. Starting with the in depth directions and owner guide, this secluded little slice of heaven was all that we could ask for. The owners make it very easy to locate and simple to check in. The property is the epitome of the Adirondack experience, minutes away from Lake Placid and many high peaks.

Summary: What a great, well appointed cabin in an ideal location for nature lovers. The cabin has beautiful traditional Adirondack furniture, a wide range of reading materials (especially some awesome trail guides and local points of interest), a well appointed kitchen, and a great wood stove for winter nights.

Summary: My wife and I stayed at the cabin for two nights. We were able to kick our shoes off and relax immediately after arriving. Everything was ready for us when we got there. The provided firewood was easily accessible and extremely plentiful. We took full advantage of the fire ring by the brook and the stove in the cabin. I thought for sure we'd burn through it all but boy was I wrong. There was so much there. We had fun sipping on our drinks and taking little hikes around the trail on the property and then back to the fire ring to warm up before our next lap. Made dinner both nights which was super easy due to all the supplied dishes and utensils. Bed was cozy too. Was an extremely peaceful spot to be at for 2 days. Our only complaint was that we didn't book it for an additional night. We won't make that mistake next time. :)

Summary: Super charming and relaxing spot with chances to dunk in the cool brook, hike up Owl’s Head Lookout with terrific views and wonder firefly evening displays. It was a much needed unplugged vacation after a grueling three months of online school and work. We will most definitely be coming back. The cabin became a home❤️

Summary: Our stay at Owl's Head cottage was more than we could have imagined. The property was immaculate and full of Adirondack charm, from pictures on the wall to the local magazines & guides available. We all remarked on how comfortable the rustic furniture was. Everything was in perfect working order and everything you would need was easily available. The kitchen was well stocked as was the bathroom. Plenty of wood was available to enjoy the wood stove, which was a real treat after long days of winter hiking. The proximity to different trailheads was ideal (you can see one through the trees) for our stay. The place is set far enough away from the road that you enjoy your privacy, yet are just a short drive away to Keene, Keene Valley, and Elizabethtown so you can stock up on provisions. This is exactly the type of property in the Adirondacks we would have wanted to own for ourselves!

Summary: Arrived and everything is ready to go - heat is on, wood for the stove is cut, and there is plenty of it. Nothing to do but let the relaxing begin - a quick walk across the property to a trailhead up the mountain, the sound of a mountain stream when you open the back door, a 25 minute ride to Lake Placid - and about the same to the Essex Ferry across Lake Champlain. Great communication between myself and the owner, and a property manager available for emergency service. The seven year old referred to our trip as "epic". Pretty sure that means he had as good a time as the adults did. We plan on returning in the spring.
