This hand built cabin is situated privately on 50 acres of pine woods in the Adirondack foothills. From cutting down the trees, to making the logs on our sawmill and picking up our hammer, we lovingly hand-crafted it. The cabin features a hot rainwater shower and sink; solar electricity for the lights, and a wood-burning stove. You'll find a propane cook stove inside and a barbecue grill (propane) outside. Named Mountain Laurel, the cabin is situated at the top of a hill, with beautiful shade trees, cool breezes and a great view of the pine woods. It features a queen size bed in the main living area and a full size bed in the loft. A dining area is on the main floor along with a wood burning stove with a screen that can function as a fireplace. Experience cool breezes all summer long on the full-size porch. The catwalk off the loft leads you to a balcony with a beautiful ten-mile view. The shower room is located under the cabin on ground floor level. A very neat and clean "glorified" outhouse is located in a separate building a few yards from the cabin. If you are looking for a cabin with an indoor bathroom, please check out our Lion's Den cabin HA 9143513. We are located close to access points for ATV and Snowmobile trails. Numerous lakes are a short drive away for kayaking, canoeing, swimming and fishing in the summer. In the winter, enjoy cross-country skiing, snow shoeing, hiking and snowmobiling. Snow Ridge, which boasts the first snow of the season, is thirty minutes away. We request reservations to be made at least 48 hours in advance of arrival date. Come and enjoy our back-to-nature cabin in our quiet pine woods.

Beautiful
Loved staying here, the owners were super accommodating and friendly! We were worried about it being too cold given that we were staying in the winter, but the wood stove kept us and our pups comfortable all night. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who loves the outdoors (and has dogs!)
This spot was excellent and had wonderful scenery, decor, accommodations, and was well maintained. Only downsides were minor (we thought car chargers meant usb outlets but we realized it did not, and the sand can be very difficult to walk up)
Our family honestly needed space to get away from the outside world and technology this spot was the perfect place to disconnect. Our favorite amenity was probably the swing if we had to choose. We absolutely adore the cabin and the opportunity to unwind.
Mt. Laurel is a peaceful and beautiful cabin to relax and restore your energy!
Ricky was amazing at communicating with all our needs.
The property is super clean and really well kept!
We are looking forward to coming back in the fall,
We enjoyed our stay, as usual, at the beautiful cabin property. We took a walk on the trails and picked blackberries, we didn't see any blueberries. We had a bonfire. My son loved the swing. We had a great getaway.
The cabin was an absolute joy! Lots of windows with great views, a fabulous swing just outside your door, and an outdoor shower (to name a few amenities)!
We had an incredible time and we’re fortunate enough to meet the host. What a great job with the construction of this cabin- lots of love and attention to detail.
I hope everyone who stays has as great a time as we did!
Thank you, Rick and Maria, for creating a beautiful cabin in the woods. It was so peaceful and quiet. We loved every little thoughtful detail you have made and added to the cabin and property. The solar power and rainwater was such a cool experience. It was a wonderful time! You are two truly amazing people!
Great place to unplug, unwind and reconnect with family and nature. Several spectacular hikes nearby as laid out by Rick and Maria - fantastic hosts. Even in -20 weather the stars and the squeak of the snow brought us back down to earth. Thanks again.

Little House on the Prarie
I fell coming down the stairway that did not have any hand railing or stairway treads. It was a gorgeous log cabin but not appropriate for 60 year old people. I felt like we were on Little House on the Prarie..Outhouse, no running water, hardly any electricity. i loved the fireplace and the bed was comfortable. We left a day early because of my injury with as of this day, November 14, 2024 I still have pain.
The property was absolutely beautiful, 50 acres of snow-covered secluded forest in upstate NY. If Rick hadn't told us he had two other cabins on the property I would have had no idea, this cabin is located in a great spot to offer lots of privacy while still leaving tons of room for activities. My partner and I got to meet Rick briefly at the start of our stay and he told us some of the history of the cabin and it is truly impressive! These cabins were built by the owner and are well maintained and clean, many accommodations are made so you only have to bring minimal supplies. Our stay was in mid-February and we saw a low of 19 degrees but the wood burning stove and supplied wood was more than enough to keep us nice and toasty in a wonderful winter getaway! The cold definitely should not keep you away as the shower and restroom can be kept warm as well. We plan to come back soon! Thanks for the great stay Rick!
The cabin was amazing. It was very clean, well stocked, and had everything we needed. The property was beautiful, serene and quiet. There are a ton of useful notes and a binder with a ton of information on the cabin, property and surrounding areas.The host was great. They were always quick to respond and gave us a lot of information.This was me and my fiances first full vacation together, and this cabin was perfect. Definitely an unforgettable vacation and an amazing choice.
Beautiful property, we can tell a lot of love and thought went into the cabin. There is a town only 10-15 minutes away and the property is so peaceful. Even had its own little beach with an outdoor shower. Had a great time!!
We had the best time here. It's hard to find places that allow dogs so we were so excited to bring our newly adopted dog. He was able to run around free with my son. The sand on the property was pretty cool and tree swing and hammock were such fun touches. All of the off grid features were amazing and there are directions everywhere that explain how to do everything. We were able to meet one of the owners and he was so nice and welcoming. We can not wait to come again when it's a little colder so we can use the woodstove.
This cabin is perfect for leisure time. It's super cozy, especially with a fire going on. My friends and I had an excellent stay talking, playing cardboard games and cooking while not being disturbed by our phones and other technology. I recommend this place if you're looking for a quiet place to stay :)
Many great things.. relaxing and peaceful. We enjoyed escaping to the warmth of a wood stove during a winter storm, exploring on our atv and enjoying the beautiful surroundings
Me and my partner had a lovely two night stay filled with cozy fires, lovely meals, hot coffee and a very comfortable cabin. The hosts made check in and check out easy and I look forward to staying again soon!
It was a treat to stay at Richard's place and to get to chat with him a bit. The cabin is as described and even more comfortable than I imagined. The bathroom and camp kitchen were both well-appointed, and the rainwater shower was wonderful. I spent hours watching birds at the feeder outside the big window at the dining table :) I look forward to returning again the future with my dogs for more peaceful time among the treetops.

About the host
Hosted by Rick and Maria Bohlman
After building tree forts in the woods behind his house as a young boy, my husband Rick decided one day he would build his own cabin. Mountain Laurel is the result of this dream. Hand built from the trees on the property, the cabin is situated privately on 50 acres of pine woods.
Why they chose this property
We loved this property as soon as we saw it. The sweet smell of pine greets you and the soft moss on the ground makes hiking on the property ideal.
What makes this property unique
Situated privately on fifty acres of pine woods, with your own spot of peaceful quiet, the cabin is unique. From the porch you can sip tea or coffee and listen to the birds greet the morning. From the balcony, you can see for ten miles. If it's a quiet get-away you're looking for, you've found it!
