Peaceful Stay
We had a wonderful stay in a guest cottage that was part of an old turn of the century property with multiple outbuildings. The cottage was private and nestled in a forested hillside not far from the main house. A short walk brought you from looking out a beautiful forest to a few of the surrounding mountains. The grounds included trails that brought you down to the nearby Bouquet River. You walk into a comfortable living room with an adjacent deck. Upstairs was a large bedroom, a serviceable kitchen, bathroom with a beautiful

Peaceful Adirondack cabin.
Charming cabin in Adirondack woods. Clean, spacious and comfortable. Many porches looking out into trees. Near main house but very private. Beautiful meadow with spectacular mountain views -- including Giant in far distance. Kyle is a great host, thoughtful and responsive. Lovely place to relax in the beautiful Adirondacks.
