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.

Ideal winter cabin

The cabin was everything we hoped for in a short winter getaway. Warm comfort by the fireplace. Well provisioned kitchen. Nicely remodeled bathroom. The setting in the Keene Valley is gorgeous. Really appreciated the detailed guest information sheet including local recommendations.

Red Cabin

Stayed five nights while doing day hikes throughout the ADK with my dog- this cabin was an excellent base of operations for my trip. Plenty of room, fully furnished, and clean. Located within about a mile of Keene, but very quiet and peaceful. Having access to the AuSable River was a terrific bonus, too- my dog and I had a great time exploring it. I hope to stay here again on my next trip!

Lake placid log cabin

Great location and very quaint log cabin. The kitchen had all you could ask for. Large shower with great water pressure. It was very relaxing. The location to the river was excellent with fairly easy access. The stove and mattresses could use updating but otherwise we found this very comfortable and enjoyed our stay. The property owner is very pleasant to work with.

Winter adventures

My family and I had a great time at the little red cabin! We can’t get enough of winter snow sports, and spent time snowshoeing, skiing Whiteface, playing ice hockey on Mirror Lake, and cross country skiing. Snowball fights, snow forts, and sledding. Ended the trip with a cozy fire in the fireplace. Plan to come back this summer!

Perfect cabin. Location meets all my needs. Beds were very comftable. Kitchen had everything. Love the large fireplace. The bathroom was large and very nice. Plenty of clean towels. I arrived and the cabin was nice and clean. I also loved the sound of the water from the river. I have stayed at this cabin before and plan on staying here again.

Peaceful Getaway

The cabin is just as described and pictured in the listing-no surprises which was good. It's rustic but clean for being in a wooded area. The sounds of the river across the street are soothing and pleasant. We saw/heard very little traffic on the road in front of the cabin. We enjoyed the fire pit and the large screened in porch. The updated bathroom was quite nice. Bob, the owner, responded promptly to any questions we had. Overall a great place to stay near Lake Placid and we would definitely come back.

Had a wonderful stay at the cabin. We had been there before but not since the bathroom upgrade with walk in shower and the addition of the screened in front porch. Very nice! And the big Roku tv was also welcomed. Love how the cabin is a perfect blend of rustic originality and modern comforts. Strong wifi, good water pressure, and the rushing Ausable River across the road along with a view of the mountains make this a very special place. Thank you Bob for another enjoyable trip.

vacation and 2 college tours stay.

Great little cabin. Conveniently located to Lake Placid and Saranac Lake. Bob is an excellent host. Quickly responds to questions. Had a little issue checking in that was NOT his fault. VRBO didn’t send me the check in code to get the key. Called Bob and he answered immediately and gave me the code. Only other thing to keep in mind is if you have AT&T as your cell phone provider you will not have service at the cabin. This wasn’t that big an issue as there is Wi-fi and at the end of the road (5 min drive) you have service. Would definitely rent this cabin again.

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.
