About this property

Authentic Adirondack adventure

Fashioned after the Adirondack Great Camps, our home features many elements of a more authentic Adirondack lodging. Rustic furniture, beds and railings make this two bedroom home a cozy retreat for 2-5 people. Situated on an 80 acre property, with 4500 feet of river frontage you can enjoy trout fishing, hiking, mountain biking, on our private trails, or just siting back and enjoying the cascading falls from our forward facing screened in porch. In season enjoy swimming in our private swimming hole as the crystal clear waters of our trout brook surround you with delight.

We have owned this property for 20 years and now with our children grown we would like to share this with others who love and appreciate the secluded, wilderness experience of an especially beautiful property here in the Eastern Adirondack region. We are located approximately 1/2 hour north of Lake George Village and a ten minute drive off the Northway.

The house is kept clean and tidy. You will always be greeted with fresh linens and towels. The bathroom and kitchen will provide for most essentials, tissues, toilet paper, bottled water and many other thoughtful touches to make your stay comfortable.

This property is rustic. Staying at Mill Rock Clove is an authentic Adirondack experience. We are NOT the Ritz Carlton and there is nothing fancy about it. Spaces are small and cozy. Much of the furniture is made by local artists using wood from our forests. The purpose of vacationing here is to rejuvenate your spirit, mind and body. It's about being in one of the most beautiful spots on the planet and absorbing the magical energy that is ever present. The property is on the site of a 19th century grist mill, and was a spiritual center for native Americans before that.

We are privileged to have spent a great deal of time on the property and honored to share it with others. We also realize that not every one will appreciate what is on offer here. If you are looking for perfect weather or a 5 star Ritz Carlton experience please look elsewhere. There is also very little night life in the area, unless you drive 30 minutes south to Lake George. The local restaurants are generally good, but modest in standards. Supermarkets are available within a 15 minute drive.

This is a vacation for people who understand what having an authentic experience in nature is all about. Much more comfortable than camping, and yet we strive to bring the beauty of the outdoors inside with large glass viewing areas, a comfortable spacious screen porch and original rustic furniture fashioned from local trees. The master bed is adorned by a large Birch Wood canopy which feels like you are sleeping in a forest grove. With a large oversized queen mattress good restful sleep after a day in the outdoors is hard to resist. Spend your days walking through our 80 acre private forest with 2 miles of private walking trails. In season relax in the stream and play in our private swimming hole. Fire wood is provided for both indoor and outdoor fire places.

ADK Cabin

We enjoyed our weekend on the creek. The view and access to the creek were excellent. Loved having a piece of property where we could bring our dog. It’s definitely a cabin with modern amenities like air conditioning and WiFi. Was very clean and tidy when we arrived. We would have appreciated knowing what were accessible parts of the property/the hiking trail to be marked but we did plenty of exploring. Be aware that would have to carry out your trash with you, wasn’t an issue with so many camp sites in the area, but worth noting. Thanks so much for a relaxing weekend!

Nice with mice

The venue was idyllic – wooded, beautiful water view. The owner was most responsive in sending the caretaker to hook up the generator when the power went out due to severe storms in the area. The caretaker was also quick to respond to place mouse traps in the house. The mice found their way onto the beds, on the pillows and into my hair. Traps captured some of the mice but did nothing for the scurrying of the critters in the walls or the daily clean-up of mice feces throughout the upper level of the house. Other issues of lesser importance but important none the less: A good number of dishes and glasses in the cupboards were covered with an oily film and dust …. Not ready to be used by guests The water pressure in the shower was awful The hammock under the deck is in serious disrepair. The nylon tabs holding the support rings are rotting and broke upon sitting in the hammock. The smell of mold and dampness on the lower level is profound. I realized and accepted that the cabin is not the Ritz Carlton, that it was in a wooded, rural area. What I could not accept were the mice.

Beautiful spot

We had a fantastic time during our stay. The creek-front yard and screened in porch were beautiful. The listing description says "this isn't the Ritz", but I bet the Ritz would pay a lot of money for this property! We spent a lot of time on the rocks and walking the trails. Inside, the combined living room/dining room was much larger than expected, and was open to kitchen and the porch. Decor isn't modern, but we wanted an Adirondack style cabin anyway, so this house was perfect. Location is great too-close drives to Loon lake, Schroon lake, and Lake George. Little bit further up to Lake Placid and Whiteface area but still easy and beautiful. We would definitely stay here again

One of a kind private setting!

The River View was spectacular and this is a completely private setting. The setting really was one-of-a-kind!!!! The residence is much like a camp rather than a house but we were more than ok with that! I enjoyed fishing 2 days on Schroon Lake. Easy boat or kayak access from the southern end of the lake is about 8 minutes from the house. We had a fire on an incredible scenic spot at the river bend in front of the house one night.

very private and relaxing spot

This is a beautiful and private piece of property that is well-situated near the town of Schroon Lake (about 20 minutes away). The river is so soothing and the screened in porch is a delightful place to enjoy it. We also spent many nights at the fire pit star gazing. The host, Kurt, was very responsive to my questions and concerns, usually responding within less than 2 hours. We were worried about the recent flooding in the area and he assuaged our concerns. We came back from this vacation feeling relaxed and ready to re-engage with urban life. My only suggestion would be to have a proper garbage can outside the house so guests don't have to store the garbage in the basement. This is why I am giving the 3 stars for cleanliness. Otherwise, we had a most wonderful time here!

Summer vacation with family

The property is charming, the house has a history, and you can imagine the beautiful winters and summers the owners spent there with their family. Unfortunately, our staying was affected by bad weather, almost 11 days out of 14 of rain. In addition, many mosquitos made it impossible to enjoy the property entirely.

A Lovely Getaway

If you like the outdoors you will love this diamond in the rough. We sat on the screened in porch for hours swinging on the cozy swing, reading, watching the momma Phoebe feed her babies in the nest above our heads, listening to the river flow. It was just what we needed. We spent time on Trout Brook, I played in the water, my husband tried to catch fish, we made a fire and sat by the stream. Private and quiet. The bed was comfy. Thank you for opening your home to us!

Heaven in the Dax!

We had a wonderful time. The pictures do not do the place justice. What a wonderful, rustic and perfect cabin in the woods. We are grateful for the experience and the opportunity to completely disconnect, breathe the mountain air and doze by being lulled by the melody of the creek and crashing waterfalls. We look forward to coming back again soon!

Amazing property!

We had a great time at this cabin! We explored, played, and watched the brook. The view from the screen-in porch was breathtaking - we could have sat on the swing for days on end without complaint! We even got to meet Smokey, the friendliest neighborhood dog. The snow and the dog were definitely the highlight for our kids! It was the perfect location for a quick getaway. We can't wait to visit again.

ADK retreat with million dollar view

This was a wonderful home base for our Adirondack adventure to celebrate our anniversary with the most incredible backyard view of the Trout Brook. The screened in second floor deck was the perfect spot to relax and read a book while my husband fished in the brook. Great location for easy access to the Northway. Charming cabin with all the of ADK accents and plenty of extras amenities for adventures!

Beautiful natural getaway

Comfortable home with exceptional examples of handmade Adirondack furniture and decor. The screened porch overlooking the rushing Trout Brook is the best feature of the house, perfect for meals and relaxing. The bedrooms are small and our double bed was comfortable, well-appointed with flannel sheets and a wool blanket. Galley type kitchen is small but adequate. Our only concern was the stairs- the main living area of the house is on the second floor, up a set of hand-hewn open stairs with rustic bannisters- this would not be a safe setting for small children or elderly adults. The property is beautiful and large and quiet- no noises other than the sound of the brook!

Hands down best stay for kids

Usually don’t write reviews but our kids and us had so much fun this past week! From watching my kids catch frogs to looking for snakes to sliding down the rock slide into the river they had smiles on their face all week. We hiked the trails every single day almost that are on the property and had plenty of fun doing rail bikes, visiting schroon lake and supporting local businesses. Each night ended with a nice fire by the river or sitting on the porch listening to the river. I would highly recommend for a family!

Falling into beauty

We both felt immediately comfortable in the house, loved the adirondak touches (which were many) and just felt settled and relaxed. The view from the screened in porch overlooking the brook was both peaceful and spectacular - if something can be both. How could you not be moved by the rushing waters, the giant stones, and the mountain standing over the whole thing. I am home and keep feeling like I want to get to the window to look at the brook. A great place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Kurt Froehlich

Host profile image
We are Vicky and Kurt. We purchased the property in 2002 and spent the summers and many weekends with our two boys enjoying summer and winter activities here. As a family we always loved the outdoors and the peaceful tranquility of the Adirondack park.
Now that our boys are grown and starting lives of their own in other parts of the country, we feel it would be great to share this gem with others.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property the first moment we saw it. The amazing river views, the natural secluded setting became a source of peacefulness and an opportunity to rejuvenate and recharge from our normal hectic lives. This property will force you to relax, slow down and refocus your energies.

What makes this property unique

10 minute drive to Gore Mountain Skiing.
