Bright cabin retreat happily situated 7 miles from Whiteface Mt

This magical retreat with exceptional "cabin in the woods" interiors is nestled on 2.5 acres. It is an architectural saltbox in the heart of the Adirondacks only 7 miles from Whiteface Mountain and 15 miles from Lake Placid. Within walking distance are hiking and cross country ski trails. It is truly a retreat for the body and soul!

Surrounded by your own private forest, this warmly furnished home, with Adirondack touches throughout, has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a great living area, ample dining table space for 8, and large island kitchen will make your family and friends feel welcome. Flick on the gas fireplace and enjoy your own music mixes through the built-in surround sound system. Take the chill off after a day of activities in the steam shower or the jacuzzi for two. The jacuzzi has a heat feature for an extended soak and bubble or jet features. The chef's kitchen has all the tools needed to make any meal just like home. When the weather is right, enjoy the fire pit area or just sit out on the deck.

This home has two queen size beds, two daybeds with trundles and a pull out sofa. There are multiple TVs with satellite and DVD players, fully equipped kitchen including convection oven and wine cooler, BBQ grill, iron and board, linens, towels and washer/dryer. Wi-Fi has been upgraded to Spectrum FIOS at 300 MPS.

Located one mile from the house is Lake Eaton, where you can canoe or hike around the lake, perfect for children. The community of Au Sable Acres has a tennis court and slightly more ambitious trails; a trail map is in the kitchen. The house is minutes from Au Sable Forks where there is a movie theater, great pizza place, wine store and supermarket. In Wilmington, about a 10 minute car ride, there is a river front beach with volleyball court and picnic area. You can also enjoy the summer concert series in the heart of Jay just down the road from the house. A bit further is the wonder of Lake Placid, about a 20 minute car ride, where you can browse the outlet stores and artisan shops and enjoy lake view delights and dining on Main Street. For a nice day trip, downtown Montreal is about a two hour car ride away.

Other nearby activities in the winter are world class skiing at Whiteface Mountain, bobsled and tubing at the Mt. Van Hoevenberg Olympic Center, or ice skating and dog sleigh riding in Lake Placid. In the summer, hiking trails abound as well as fishing holes, golf courses, and boating in Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, or Lake Champlain.

3 Night minimums are required for all Holidays weekends.


NO SMOKING - $250 fine

There are two Ring Video doorbells at the front and back door. There are the only two surveillance devices. This is more of a security measure when the house is vacant. If you need to reach me please call or text me directly, do not use the door bell as a means of communication.

You are allowed only one dog and it must be under 50 lbs. If you want to bring two you must ask approval. The dog rules are as follows:

1. Not on furniture or bed
2. Do not wash in tubs - you will FORFEIT your deposit and possibly be charged for additional damages - Steam shower is $4500 and jacuzzi is $4000 plus labor - this has happened, please don't let it be you.
3. IF your dog goes around the firepit or near the stairs entering the house, please pick it up. No one wants to step on it and drag it in their car or the house. Go towards the woods is fine. Please be considerate for the next guest.
4. IF your dogs paws get muddy, please use a hand towel in the utility closet and give a quick wipe. If the dog does track or sheds, please give the house a quick sweep, vacuum or mop. An additional cleaning fee may be imposed by my cleaners; this has happened only twice.

PLEASE NOTE: CHECK IN IS AT 4 PM AND CHECK OUT IS 10 AM SHARP. A $100 FINE WILL BE ASSESSED IF YOU DO NOT ABIDE BY THIS RULE. I CAN BE FLEXIBLE ON CHECK IN AND OUT TIMES BUT YOU MUST CONTACT ME PRIOR TO ARRIVING OR 24 HOURS BEFORE YOUR DEPARTURE. THANK YOU

Relaxing Fall Get-Away
My husband and I were looking for a relaxing fall getaway in the Adirondacks. This home not only met but exceeded all of our expectations. We visited the areas lakes and villages daily and retreated back to this peaceful and quiet home in the evening. We made several great meals and breakfast daily in the beautifully appointed kitchen. Carlos was a wonderful host and the home is exactly as described in the listing.

Winter Girls Getaway
Bright Cabin was extremely clean. The 5 of us came for a weekend of snowshoeing/ hiking and relaxing. Kitchen is roomy and well equipped. There are clear instructions posted on how to operate the tv, fireplace, jacuzzi tub, steam shower etc. Nice to have a table that seats as many people (8) as the bedrooms accommodate. The living room is comfy but there is not seating for 8 if you needed it. Toilet paper and shampoo were listed as "supplied" in the description. There was no shampoo-the little bottles were conditioner and shower gel. We ran out of toilet paper and had to go out and purchase more. Although I tried to contact Carlos, and became frustrated not hearing back, I later discovered a problem with my VRBO app. So the poor communication was not his fault. We did a lot of cooking and it was nice to have so much room for 2 or 3 people working at once. The island was a great place to work on the jufsaw puzzle. The games closet has lots of games and DVDS.

Wonderful cabin and setting
This cabin was perfect for us, with every amenity we look for in a rental, plus located in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. The cottage was super clean, spacious, and homey. The kitchen was well-equipped and stocked. The cabin served as a great base for hiking, whether on the neighborhood trail system or in the surrounding peaks. Will definitely stay here again!

Carlos was a gracious host, he holds a lovely property. Woods all around, teeming with wildlife. The cabin itself is spacious yet cozy- especially that window nook. The cabin is filled with a ton of activities like board games, dvds, and a ping pong table should you want to have a night in. Would come again.

Annual Golf Getaway
This was our annual group of 6 golfers getaway. The property was just as expected…perfect! More than enough room for us, the beds, kitchen, dining and multiple outdoor sitting areas were wonderful . The Adirondack Polywood chairs were the best, no shortcuts there. Now, back to the kitchen, it has everything and was well labeled and organized. You also have a nice covered Weber barbecue area which worked great for us. Hope to rent again next year, same week. Thank you, Carlos we’re very happy and pleased with your property.

Amazing time in ADK
This property was amazing. The pictures do not do it justice. It was even more amazing in person. The house had a wonderfully equipped kitchen, bathroom and linens/towels. We loved the ping pong table and grilled a couple of nights. Everything worked and was very clean and well organized. The only somewhat negatives were the sand (it was like you were on a beach) and with dogs it went everywhere. We had to vacuum every night. Also Lake Placid (where we did most of our sight seeing and dinners out) was a 30+ minute drive each way. So if you want to be in lake placid everyday just be aware of the drive. But that is just nitpicking. We would definitely stay here again!
