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.

Wonderful!

What a perfect, adorable little cabin for a wonderful Adirondack vacation. We couldn't have found a better location or a more perfect atmosphere for our mountain getaway. Clean and adorable. Absolutely perfect location for us. Exactly what we wanted. And the owner was very easy to get a hold of and helpful when we needed him. Easy check in. Cant wait to go back!

Serenity in the High Peaks

This little cabin was just right for the three of us (myself, my husband, and our teenage son). The location was our favorite part (the kid loved the river access, and we all loved how quickly we could get to trailheads - arriving early is a must this time of year!). The cabin itself is quaint and cozy, and the updated bathrooms really made the stay more comfortable. We loved the fire pit (easily utilized with the wood stack on property!). The kitchen had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again!!

The best!

Fabulous location. Well furnished and supplied. Cozy and Adirondack decor without being tacky, even the tiny bears were cute. Listening to the river was awesome. Hiking the peaks was sublime and then coming home and resting in this lovely lovely space.

Weekend stay

My partner and I came out to the mountains for the weekend and I don’t think we could’ve picked a better place to stay! Bob’s cabin was nothing short of amazing! A cozy log cabin with a beautiful view of the Ausable River and a short drive to any number of local towns and trailheads! Bob was a great host and he provided as much information as anyone could possibly ask for. 10/10 would recommend this cabin for your next stay and I can’t wait to book again and spend more time there!!

4 nights stay at peaceful cozy red cabin

Wanted for nothing, it was clean, impeccably appointed and everything we needed was on had from cooking to soaking up the peace and quiet the area had to offer. No washer, but has a clothes line!Nice areas to walk and explore. Great neighbors to converse with and meet. We were in the middle of some of the Most beautiful and scenic sections of the Adirondack's. We toured the towns around lake placid village and Olympic grounds were a highlight as well as all the shops in the village. Stop for pastries, they are amazing and fresh made on the property bagels are just down a couple doors. But it was too short , need 3 more days - lol

Wonderful property!

The cabin was absolutely wonderful. Clean, comfortable and is stocked with everything you could possibly need other than your meals. If you forgot condiments, etc they have them there. They just ask that you replace if you finish it. Host was prompt on communication and information sent covered everything we needed to know for our stay. Met a very nice neighbor who stopped to pet our beagle and gave suggestions on where the good fishing was. Great fire pit and screened in front porch. Also a small deck across the road overlooking the river, perfect place to read. We will definitely return and share with friends/family this gem of a cabin.

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.
