About this property

Log Cabin on the Ausable River

Original 2 bedroom log cabin on the Ausable River. This charming log cabin is located on Hulls Falls Road, a quiet back road, that is picturesque perfect. You will find some of the area's best swimming, scenery, and fly fishing in the area.
The cabin has a beautiful river rock fireplace in the spacious living room which makes for a great meeting room for games, conversation, and relaxation. There are 2 bedrooms, each with a queen bed, and one full bathroom with a walk in shower and one half bath, both recently renovated. The living room also has 1 fold out futon.
The kitchen boasts authenticity with a unique antler light fixture, exposed beams, all wrapped in natural wood. Everything you might need for preparing your own meals is stored away in the abundant kitchen cabinets. Two coffee makers, a microwave, mixer, blender, wine glasses, etc., it is all there for your use.
The lush outdoors invites you to sit and enjoy the sights and sounds while sitting on the screened porch or the detached deck overlooking the river. There is plenty of room for setting up your volleyball or badmitton net, or throw a few frisbies around on the open playground next to the river. An open firepit is great for long summer evening conversations or roasting marshmallows with the kids.

Amazing

I truly couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Perfect location that’s peaceful and quiet, even had a few deer hangout in the yard. I have recommended this house to all my friends. I can’t say enough good things about this place.

Best stay there ever

We have rented this cabin every year since 2019 and although we have enjoyed it every time, this was the best stay. Bob seems to have upgraded and/or replaced some items including (it seemed) the queen bed in the front bedroom and several other furnishings. As always, there were Keurig pods provided to start our mornings.The fireplace burned very nicely and provided a cozy place to play some board games.Weather was perfect for snowshoeing with a lot of fresh powder in the mountains and we had some great dinners in the local restaurants.

3rd time stay-as good as always and better

I stayed here many years ago and then a few years later. I loved the rustic Adirondack feel. Since then the bathroom was renovated and a new beautiful bathroom has been added. Planning to bring my wife here again.

Christmas Week Stay at the Little Red Cabin!

My husband and I had a great stay here during Christmas week! The property is exactly as explained. Plenty spacious for both of us and 2 dogs. Check in and check out was easy. Property was very clean and well kept. Lots of great in home amenities like books, games, etc as well as cute cabin decor. Definitely felt like home for the week. Remote location so you don’t have to worry about noise, but close enough (15 min) to all of the attractions in Lake Placid. It was beautiful in the winter snow. We had many great nights by the fire place! Definitely will be back! Looking forward to a summer trip and enjoying the beautiful outdoors of the area. DEFINITELY recommend staying here if you’re coming to the area!

Great Trip

My boys (ages 6 & 3) said this was the best cabin they ever stayed at! We had such a great time staying at this cozy, comfortable cabin. We got to experience 2 nights of light snow, which were great to enjoy by the fireplace. Great location, close to town, and exactly as advertised. Would highly recommend!

Second Stay at the Red Cabin

We liked the Red Cabin enough to return two years later. We NEVER visit the same place twice. Great kitchen, awesome bathroom, comfy beds... check. Nice and cool despite the heat due to the massive tree shade...check. Firepit, stargazing, screened-in porch...check. Private swimming area with a natural spa--this time we made it to the rapids which felt like a massage on the body. I know we shall return again for a long weekend. This little cabin is that special.

A breath of fresh air!

My brothers and I could not have been happier coming home from our daily hiking trips to this cabin. So easy to take a dip in the Ausable and then prop our feet up by the fire pit. Kitchen was fully equipped for easy meal prep, comfy beds and the screened in porch was a favorite for early mornings and a rainy evening or two. The property was even better than we expected! We can't wait to return.

More At Home Than My Own Home

My husband and I started visiting Bob's little red cabin nine years ago and we really realized this past visit that every time we pull in to the driveway, we feel like we're coming home. The nostalgic feel of this truly authentic little log cabin hits us right in the hearts. The sound of the river and the smell of the balsams combined with the awesome amenities (full kitchen, modern bathroom, screened in porch, etc.) make it the perfect home away from home. We look forward to our visits each year more than anything else. It really is like having another home to get away to and just be. So very grateful for every moment we've shared there.

Authentic rustic log cabin with a modern kitchen/bathroom addition and a nice location across the road from the river. Great for one or two people but could be a bit cramped with any more.

About the host

Hosted by Bob Giroux

Host profile image
This property has been in the family for over 20 years. I recently purchased it from other family members as it is a favorite of mine when visiting the area. Having lived in Alaska for over 40 years, I love the great outdoors and this property rivals much of what we see and love in Alaska. Its' proximity to Lake Placid makes it ideal for those wanting to enjoy the restaurants, shopping, and other amenities Lake Placid has to offer. Its' location makes it ideal for the nature lover.

Why they chose this property

We love the old time feeling of the cabin, but love having the wireless interenet and the cable TV to keep us up-to-date.

What makes this property unique

The roar of the cascading water in the river is music to the ear. The beauty of the trees, foilage, and river is mesmerizing. The long walks along Hulls Falls Road are food for the soul and the body.
