The cabin can sleep up to 5 people. There are two bedrooms upstairs, and 1 full bath downstairs. One bedroom has a queen bed, and the other has 2 twins with room to play. There is also a sleeper sofa in the living room, with an inflatable mattress. Blankets and pillows are provided, but please bring your own sheets and towels.
Any additional people who stay at the cabin not identified at the time of booking must have our prior approval.
The living room has 2 comfy sofas - one is a sofa bed - and a very comfy recliner. A large screen porch with a picnic table invites you to dine outdoors in rain or shine or take an afternoon nap on the futon . For cooler days, you can dine indoors in the dining room. Should the weather turn cold, turn up the heat with the wood stove (wood not provided but readily available in the area) or the Heat pump heater. For hot days the heat pump will cool the downstairs. The kitchen has a full size refrigerator and an electric stove, and is well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, silverware.
Outside, there's an open fire pit for campfires and grilling. A large grill rack is provided, but you need to bring your own wood. A short walk down a wooded path from the cabin brings you to a private dock where a canoe and row boat are available for your exclusive use on Paradox Creek and Paradox Lake. Paradox Lake is known for good fishing, canoeing, and kayaking, and this end of the lake is especially known for the fishing! The creek is fun to paddle on. There are usually lots of birds and flowers to look at. Please bring your own life jackets - especially for children!
While you may feel like you're far from everything here, it's only an easy 10 minute drive to Schroon Lake and 20 minute drive to Ticonderoga, for shopping, historic Fort Ticonderoga, larger boat rentals at Schroon Lake Marina, music and musical theater at the Seagle Colony throughout the summer. There are lots of NYS DEC hiking trails (Pharoah Mountain Wilderness) just minutes away, and the Adirondack High Peaks are only about a half hour away. Bring your bicycles - there are quiet country roads for bicycling.

Summary: Good communication with owners, appreciate the detailed info provided about local hikes, etc. If staying solo, be aware that getting the canoe down and launched is doable, but challenging. Best with 2 people. Also be aware that the cottage does not have a lake view and is a short (but lovely) walk down to the lake inlet. You can hear the loons which was always a treat. The accommodations were traditional, basic and cozy as advertised (just what I was looking for) and grew on me more each day. The location was perfect for hiking, biking and boating. I would definitely consider going back to this cottage if I were in the area.

Summary: We enjoyed this vacation rental. Loved being in the woods. Owner was responsive. Kitchen was well equipped to cook our meals. Agree with some others that the canoe was heavy and not easy to get back on the rack so we only used it once. All in all a good place to stay.

Summary: We spent two weeks at this cabin on our annual "girl's trip" and had a lovely time. The cabin met our our needs perfectly, and was well situated for day trips all over the eastern half of the Adirondacks. Our hosts, Micki and David, were delightful and had quick responses to any questions that might have come up. Shopping, gas, and Dunkin Donuts (SO IMPORTANT) were only about 15 minutes away in Ticonderoga. The cabin itself was cozy and comfortable. We could open the screened windows when we needed a breeze and the gas heater would take the chill off quickly for those crisp Adirondack mornings. The back porch as totally our happy place. It is completely screened in, so we could sit out there in the fresh air and listen to the amazing number of birds (including loons!) while reading a book, having dinner, or just chilling out. The property is well situated for people who like outdoor activities in Adirondacks. We brought our kayaks and enjoyed some of the local ponds and lakes. We highly recommend Eagle lake (the put-in is very close to the cabin) as it is a peaceful, spectacular pond with high rock walls and pristine water. The Pharoah Lake Wilderness area has an endless number of trails to hike; some with views, some with ponds and lakes to visit. The two local historic areas that we visited were Fort Ticonderoga and Crown Pointe, and we loved them both. We ventured as far north as Lake Placid, Whiteface Mountain, and the Ausable River. They are all just a bit over an hour's drive, depending the route you take. You can meander on back roads, or you can go straight there. The back roads are quite scenic. Thank you, Micki and David for being such lovely hosts. We had a wonderful, relaxing time. Julie and Chris

Summary: So many things can't tell all of course. The house was just filthy. Would not recommend or tell anyone to rent it. Just an awful experience. Some one should check into it!

Summary: I wasn’t sure what to expect when I got there everything was just as it was explained in the paperwork. I really got to enjoy the wildlife will I was there. The cabin had everything I needed to survive for 15 days of working nights. It was peaceful and quiet. The owners where very friendly and helpful if I had any issues.

Summary: Wonderful spot on Paradox Lake with all the good stuff — birding fishing hiking. The water was low making boating tough off the swampy dock but once we got out in the lake it was spectacular.

Summary: We loved the location of this cabin: on a lake, in the Adirondack. There is so much beauty around! We loved the canoe and rowboat, the fire pit and we loved the screened-in porch, so you can feel the outside, but not be eaten by mosquitoes. We really were able to unplug (although there was wifi) and relax.

Summary: We had a great time with our family enjoying the beautiful ADK’s. This quaint cabin was just what we were looking for. Far enough a way to be quiet and secluded yet not more than about 20 min drive to local food and stores. Loved the canoe and rowboat. We just enjoyed a relaxed lifestyle for a few days!! Looking forward to visiting again!!

Summary: First, the hosts are 5 star people. They were very good about communication and were very helpful when we had any issues/questions. The location in the park and by Paradox Lake is great— a short drive to shopping in Ticonderoga, but easy access to fishing and remote hiking. The canoe provided is very serviceable and the lake is beautiful. The cottage itself is quite old, which has its own charm. It could use some improved lighting though, and the cleaning was not as thorough as we had hoped to find. It didn’t spoil our vacation or anything, but we were disappointed with a lack of cleanliness in some areas of the house. The walk down to the lake is a bit of a workout for out-of shape office guys like myself. Overall , I’d say this is a great place if you are on a budget and want a simple basecamp to explore the area.

Summary: Cottage was as described. Setting of lake is beautiful. Everything you need to prepare meals was provided. Owners made it a point early on to make sure everything was ok which was great. We used the canoe a lot which added to the experience. It was a short hike down to the dock so be ware if that is an issue physically. We were fine with it. I would stay again and do recommend this cute cottage.
