About the host
Hosted by Todd & Leigh Drake
We are family owned and operated property. Todd & Leigh have four children who also work with the family business, and love the outdoors all four seasons of the year! We have 9 cabins on the property, please do see our other listings under "Moreno's Cottages" and 322 Ray Brook Rd for different styles, sizes and reviews. Cabin #10 is our only year-round accommodation available for guests. Don't miss Fall or Winter here in the gorgeous Lake Placid / Saranac Lake region!
Why they chose this property
We are tucked away in the tall pines at the edge of the Adirondack Wild Forest, a old-world camp style cabin property rarely found today! The cottages have been refurbished and modernized from the original 1920's construction, but still maintain the rustic Adirondack feel. It is a quiet, camp like setting perfect for launching local outdoor adventures, access to two villages with world-class restaurants, shopping and Olympic attractions, and relaxing with friends and family away from the hustle and bustle. We offer 9 different cabins on the property. Please do see our other listings under Moreno's Cottages #2 - 10 on VRBO. We offer 1 bed / 1 bath and 2 bed / 2 bath cabins, one of which is year round. If you do not see your dates available, or wish for a slightly different cabin (each one is unique!) or more space, please do check our other listings! Search our listings under our profile, "Moreno's Cottages" or 322 Ray Brook Rd for different styles, sizes and reviews. Cabin #10 is our only year-round accommodation available for guests. Don't miss fall or winter here in the gorgeous Lake Placid / Saranac Lake region!
What makes this property unique
We are conveniently located between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake, off of Route 86.
