About this property

Adirondack Star Ridge Cottage - A ‘Peace’ of Heaven on 30 private acres

Adk Star Ridge Cottage is simply a 'Peace' of Heaven. Located on 30 private & serene acres, it is adjacent to thousands of acres of pristine timberland. Neighbors are few and far between. We have only 1 other full time residence within 3/4 mile of the property. You can expect peace & quiet with the sounds & smells of nature filling your senses.

You may choose to simply lounge on the 750sq.' deck with a drink at hand and the bbq grilling away or hike a trail right from the side door to explore the forests beyond. The cottage has games, puzzles, wireless & Roku tv for those who prefer to stay indoors but may still avail the views through many windows & doors.

Hop in the car or on your bikes and travel a few miles to the Jay 'rapids' where you can soak, slide & cool off in the AuSable River. Visit the Jay Green, home to JEMS theatre and outdoor concerts and Summer festivals. Pop in to local artisans shops such as the Jay Studio (on the Green) & Youngs Gallery (just up Rt. 86) or grab an ice cream at Devins.

Catch some local farm produce, award winning cheese, yogurt, raw milk, craft beer and even whiskey and that’s just a start!

Beautiful, peaceful cottage; wonderful location

We loved everything about our stay here. The cottage is beautiful and had everything we needed- we felt immediately comfortable and at home. The view at the top of the ridge is absolutely breathtaking. Our hosts were very welcoming and helpful. We also really liked the location- it’s about 30 minutes from Lake Placid, so easy to take advantage of restaurants and activities there, and come back home to the serenity of the cottage. Also close to lots of great hikes. Highly recommended!

Lovely setting, terrific hosts, beautiful cottage

My wife and I enjoyed an entire week in early August in this spotless, well-appointed cottage on a ridge in the northern Adirondacks. Our hosts, Mini and Mike, were extremely attentive to our comfort, even texting us the day before our arrival to make sure we wouldn't have trouble finding the cottage. The cottage itself is lovely--perfect for the two of us, although there was an extra bedroom with twin beds that would have been great for children or the right couple. The kitchen was well equipped. There were lots of good books and games available. We had a great week. In addition to enjoying the area--hiking, swimming in lakes, taking in the gorgeous scenery--we also took two day trips, one to Burlington, VT by ferry, and one to Montreal. Both are easy to get to. We had a terrific stay--peaceful, quiet and scenic--with exceptionally nice hosts.

Adirondack delight

This cottage is on the most beautiful property. It doesn’t have a view itself but the hosts are so warm and inviting to join them just up the ridge for spectacular mountain views and evening bonfires. The area is rich in natural beauty and cute local charm from an area goat farm, to community art fairs, to restaurants set against the backdrop of rivers and mountains. The house was clean and comfortable and mostly a perfect home base to explore from. These hosts and all their properties on the same land are awesome. We would return in a heartbeat.

Perfect for a winter getaway!

So easy, so clean and so quiet. There’s really much more to say - the cottage was an oasis in a winter wonderland! We used it to get to Lake Placid which was about 30-40mins away. But the snow was great and there’s so much to do! I will definitely be back!!

Awesome property in a truly spectacular location!!!!

We loved our stay for a long ski weekend at this property!!!! The property grounds are just truly amazing. The grounds are immense and are "off the beaten path", which we just loved. Our dog was able to run free with our having no worries of traffic, etc. We walked the driveway frequently during the days of our stay and it was like enjoying a private nature walk. The view at the top of the driveway is absolutely breathtaking. Despite the remote location, supplies are readily accessible at nearby grocery stores, etc. The house itself is extremely well-appointed. We cooked all of our meals but one during our stay and we found everything we needed to do this in the fully equipped kitchen. The house was also extremely clean and comfortable. Mike and Mini are wonderful hosts who put a lot of heart into making their property the perfect "home-away-from-home". We'd definitely highly recommend this property to anyone headed up to this area!!!!

Comfortable and Quaint Stay

My friends and I had a rather good stay at this rental home in the mountains. It was very close to town and ideal for a ski weekend. The tempurpedic beds were a dream to sleep on and the kitchen was fully stocked. The owners also stayed in touch the entire time and were very helpful when needed.

Relaxing peaceful and beautiful

My husband, our son and his best friend stayed at Au Sable Star Ridge over the long Martin Luther King weekend. It was a wonderful get away. The cottage was well appointed, cozy and spotless. The owners were easily accessible and attentive to our needs. The setting was peaceful and beautiful! It exceeded our expectations. We would love to go back. Thank you Mike and Mini for sharing your beautiful place with us! It was difficult to leave!

Amazing Adirondack Vacation - Highly recommend this property

The owners are so welcoming, providing al the information we needed prior to our arrival. They checked in on us to make sure we arrived safely and to wish us safe travels on our way out. The home itself is very well kept and clean. There is a wood stove that keeps the house plenty warm, and the owners provided wood and fire starting material) or you could turn on the heat. The steam shower was super nice after a day spent playing in the snow. It has good views from the back porch and breathtaking views of Whiteface Mountain just a short walk up the drive. It was a perfect spot for early morning coffee and nighttime campfire s’mores. We would love to visit again. We have absolutely no complaints about the house, location, views or friendly owners. I would recommend this house to anyone wanting to visit the area.

Wonderful Adirondack Getaway

The house is clean and well kept. It has a huge deck and a propane grill. Good views from the deck. It's in the woods and totally secluded. It's on 30 acres, the owners welcome you to walk up the long driveway which has a clearing (pictured) with INCREDIBLE views (w/ places to sit and a big fire pit too). Just walking the driveway is kind of like a beautiful hike in the woods. The owners are accommodating and friendly. They are located on the other side of the property so far enough away to be separated yet close enough if you should need anything. The house itself is very tidy and well kept. Master bedroom, 2nd bedroom, kitchen and bathroom and a small dining area. Kitchen has a massive very nice counter for eating as well. They have wireless broadband internet. You can make a fire in the woodstove if you want (we did), or just turn up the electric heat. Very comfortable inside. At night, it's dark enough to not only see all the stars but also the Milky Way. Great star-gazing from the deck. Really I couldn't recommend it any stronger. Just a nice place, secluded and private and fantastic. Only about 2 miles from the main road, yet totally in the mountains. It's a really good place.

Wonderful!

A peaceful, beautiful spot. It is close enough to awesome Adirondack locations, yet on Star Ridge you feel removed from it all. The deck at the Cottage was a private, relaxing tree-house gathering space. Morning coffee & sunrises to evening star and moon gazing. Walking up the drive to see the sunset each night from the top of the Ridge was breathtaking. Mike & Mini have really thought of everything you’ll need to have and to know about your stay. We’ll definitely be back!

A peaceful retreat with extra comforts

What a fantastic find, Mike and Mini were so welcoming and we were able to sit by their fire pit on a couple of nights and the kids loved the smores that were on offer! The house has everything you would need and is very comfortable. We ate outside everyday as we were so lucky with the weather and loved swinging on the seat in the garden - the boys even slept in their hammocks outside for 2 nights in the garden which was so remote and peaceful. It is a stunning area, lots to do and see, hiking, climbing, paddling, kayaking and even a farmers market on the Sunday in Keene where we got lovely cheese and bread. Our favourite spot was stag brook falls which was only a mile but we had it to ourselves on a very hot day and just paddled all the way down through clear waters. Would recommended for anyone who likes to get away from everything and see amazing sunsets.

The perfect place to getaway from the city with awesome views of the mountains and great star gazing. The cottage had everything we needed and was close to numerous hiking trails, Lake Placid, and various activities. Definitely a place we'd go back to.

Peaceful, relaxing retreat

The cottage is super clean, comfortable and well equipped. The large wrap around deck was perfect for enjoying the sunrise with a cup of coffee and the peace and quiet in the evenings. The property is beautiful and very well maintained. We hiked a few of the trails on property and enjoyed the tranquility and great views. The view of the mountains from the ridge was spectacular (especially the sunsets)! Mike and Mini were excellent hosts and we enjoyed their hospitality as we shared the view of the surrounding town’s fireworks from the ridge on the 4th. The location of the property was perfect for us, private and secluded yet easy distance to attractions and amenities. We enjoyed several of the surrounding area’s hikes. We especially enjoyed Cobble Lookout (easy hike for our dog with great views). We also ventured into Lake Placid for the day, Wilmington and Jay. Jay Covered Bridge and the rapids were an excellent place to cool off and play in the water on a hot summer day. We would definitely recommend Star Ridge Cottage and hope to return.

Perfect!

This place was more than perfect to accommodate our family! Traveling with infant twins and a 4 year old, we needed a place that would be family friendly and boy did this place deliver! The amenities this lovely well kept cottage had made our stay so much easier! Not only that but it was SO quiet and peaceful. You really felt like you were "getting away". Our 4 year old loved exploring outside and collecting pinecones and leaves to make art formations. Our infants slept peacefully both nights-they even had a pack n play crib and high chair available. A short 30 minute drive took us to Lake Placid for the day, and the girls LOVED Asgaard Farm around the corner. They had so much fun with the animals, and we picked up some fresh steaks, sausages, and yummy goat cheese for dinner! GORGEOUS place, views, and SO accommodating. The owners truly thought of everything. So clean! We recommend to anyone with a family or without, this place would be perfect for a romantic getaway as well!

What a Find

If you are looking for a clean, cozy, comfortable, secluded cottage with a fabulous view, this is the place. It's everything listed on the website plus a whole lot more. Mike and Mini were the perfect Host and Hostess and went out of their way to ensure our stay was perfect. And perfect it was! What a great place for hikes and long walks as well as it's proximity to Whiteface Mountain and other scenic spots. When you stay, don't forget the Ferry to Vermont. It was a great day trip. And The Hungry Trout was the right dinner recommendation. Once you visit you'll want to stay. We certainly will be back.

My daughter reports that it is gorgeous!

I did not get to go on this trip as my mother got a very unexpected, serious medical diagnosis just prior to our trip. This was supposed to be a mother-daughter birthday gift to my now 25 year old daughter. I explained the circumstances to the owners and my daughter, who went with a friend, was surprised with a cake, a card, balloons, the works! I have never met the owners but they are by far some of the kindest folks I have ever come across! I WILL get there some day to thank them. God bless you! <3

This was once our home that we built in 2000. We have since built on another portion of the property located over a 1/4 mile away.

Why they chose this property

This vacation rental has all the features of home in a pristine setting among the beauty of the Adirondacks. The ridge area ( 5 minute walk up the driveway from the Cottage) faces out towards the High Peaks and Whiteface Mountain. The majestic views from the ridge make for a surreal experience at sunrise and sunset. NOTE: Absolutely NO outside fires permitted on the property. The ridge fire pit is not active and must remain unused at this time.
Overall, our intention is that the Cottage on Adirondack Star Ridge be an experience which make's possible memories to last a lifetime. The wonderful guests that have been called to our property take with them the benefits of a relaxing and renewing experience and leave their imprint for those who follow. Please read our reviews and let our guests tell the many other reason for choosing us for your Adk getaway.

What makes this property unique

Our past guest's comments speak to the benefit of choosing the Cottage on Adirondack Star Ridge, a quiet seemingly remote (but still close to everything great in the High Peaks!) location to relax and recharge their batteries. In fact many guests hardly ever leave the peace of Adirondack Star Ridge! They walk the short 5 minute hike up to the ridge to catch a sunset or just relax on their own 700 sq.' deck overlooking the forest and NE views beyond. There is a new screen room on the deck for your enjoyment.
