Peaceful cabin on the lake

The cabin was perfect for me, my husband and brother. The online pictures don’t do this cabin justice. We had a beautiful sunset every night that we watched from the dock. Sitting outside on the porch having our coffee in the morning and our wine at night was one of the highlights of the trip. It was so peaceful and the view of the lake was amazing. I’m looking forward to returning next year.

ADK Gem

Beautiful remote ADK cabin on Fern Lake. Check in process was very easy. Chris and Rachel were wonderful hosts, they ensured we had everything we needed and their prompt communication made our experience seamless. Cabin was as described. Extremely clean. Having access to filtered water was a bonus! Beautiful porch with lots of seating. Dock offered great views of the lake with sandy area to launch canoes. Location fantastic, offering easy access to the lake. Will definitely be back!

Wonderful location

We did enjoy our stay--loved the dock and watching the lake even tho the first few days were a little too cool and wet to be out much. The main floor is beautiful and the view is amazing. The only downside was the middle of the night bathroom trips which meant going downstairs but all in all it is a wonderful stay. Enjoyed all the photos and memorabilia. It might be nice to have a little history written up to explain the pictures and the background of the cabin. We assumed that it had been in the family for many years and was getting a makeover which made it even more special.

WOW, great rental

It felt like we were part of the family. Very comfortable with all the amenities clean and in working order. Heard Loons calling both in the morning and evening. Easy lake access. Nice ventilation when screened doors were open. A welcome folder described everything that was needed to know with a handwritten addendum on particulars. BTW wonderful recommendation on the deli !!!

Very Peaceful

My friends and I had a lovely time staying at the cabin on Fern Lake. We had a few cold, rainy days and had no trouble relaxing inside until the weather improved. When the sun was out we enjoyed the easy, private access to the lake and canoe. The house is not fancy, but had everything we needed.

Perfect place to stay!

We loved our time in this waterfront cabin. The family feel of the place is pretty special and we appreciated the quiet surroundings. The kitchen is ready for most anything, the beds are comfortable. Note that the bathroom is on the first floor, but navigating to it through the night wasn’t too hard. If you are wanting to explore the area, this cabin is in a great location - nearby to Whiteface, Lake Placid, and Ausable Chasm.

Adirondack Adventure

We based our stay here. It was wonderful. We hiked, whitewater rafted, fly fished and even flew in a WWII B-17 bomber. This was our retreat to listen to the loons and the waves lapping on the shore.

Weekend get-away with friends

The cabin at Fern Lake was a perfect home away from home. The views of the fern lake, the turning colors of the trees, the firepit, and the deck set the tone for a long weekend away with friends. The host's welcome guide provided excellent suggestions to explore the area: Lake Placid winter Olympics museum, High Fall Gorge, and the small hamlets in the area. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans, kettle, and coffee maker, and other convenient cooking utensils. We appreciated the tupperware to keep leftovers in the fridge during our stay. The cabin is cozy and we had fun playing board games and cards. The host provided plenty of firewood for the fire pit and treated us with marshmallows and roasting sticks!! My communication with the host was excellent. I highly recommend the cabin on Fern lake and would stay here again!

Beautiful Lakefront Property

My wife & I visited the Adirondacks & loved our stay at this cabin. Great Location. Stocked well with what you need too. Bed in master was super comfortable. Whole place was nicely updated. Dining room table was situated to look out onto the lake. Very Nice. Wish we could have stayed longer and will definitely stay here again when we visit this area next.

Peaceful and picturesque!

We had a lovely stay on Fern Lake. The house was just the right size for our family- my husband and I and our two teenage sons. The updated downstairs is beautiful and had plenty of space for us to fit comfortably, whether at the table or on couches for a movie night. The star of the show, though, are the grounds. From the grassy, open yard, to the sandy walk in for swimming, to the dock and Adirondack chairs for morning coffee and evening cocktails, the whole yard and water area was wonderful. The water was clear and refreshing. The fire table on the deck was such a fun bonus! We brought two of our own kayaks, and then used the canoe for some family paddling. There were loons everyday, calling and popping up nearby as we paddled. Whiteface mountain in the distance was a glorious sight from the dock. We took day trips to Ausable Chasm, Whiteface Mountain, and Lake placid, and did some great hiking nearby. We truly had a wonderful week in this beautiful spot, and all of us ( teenagers included) highly recommend it!

Lovely Lake love the Loons

Very quite lake with light boat traffic. We brought our 11 year old granddaughter and did all of the ADK attractions. We managed to dock our old 19 ft bowrider at the property dock with a little creativity. The house / lake combination was very nice. At 64 I get up twice a night to use the restroom, so it was a little inconvenient to walk down the stairs with my eyes half open to use the bathroom. This was our first visit to the area, and we loved it.

Truly private!!

Our stay was over a week in August. Truly private, very quiet and scenic without any rough roads or confusing directions. We loved to see the family basketball stories throughout the cabin. We love sports and could SUP and swim right out of the back yard. Clean, clear water and rocky bottom. The beach walk-in is exceptionally nice. Sandy and shallow with no mud or weeds. We noticed this side of the lake gets a great sunset every day but can be a bit breezy. We were glad we took our scooters to the other side for a ride on a day we thought was not good for paddling, but saw the water was much calmer. A public boat ramp and dock are also on that side so if it seems choppy, check the other side too! The fire table on the deck worked so well we used it just about every day! I guess our only suggestion is to have some kind of solid cover/awning somewhere so you can still sit outside when it rains. Wi-Fi worked great and had no issues connecting as needed. Kitchen was all new. Gas stove/oven and there is ice for coffee etc. Very fun since we cook all the time. Thank you for a great stay! Have a great fall!

Spectacular Place to Relax and Unwind

A place to escape the hustle of everyday life, this little gem offered everything we we're looking for during our vacation. Our family enjoyed stunning views of the Adirondack Mountain and gorgeous sunsets from the dock. Private lake access to beautiful Fern Lake where we fell asleep and woke to the call of the loons. Even on rainy days, this place was beautiful. The cabin was comfy with modern updates that made you feel at home. A huge thank you to our host Chris who was amazing. We hope to return next year.
