About this property

Keene Cozy Cottage in the Heart of the Adirondack Mountains!


Welcome to the Cozy Cottage in the Heart of the Adirondack Mountains! It's nice to go away and feel at home. The cottage features a knotty-pine living room with a large leather couch (not a pull-out sleeper). The well-equipped kitchen contains a full refrigerator/freezer, microwave, x-large toaster oven, toaster, coffee maker, glassware, silverware, plates, pots, pans, utensils, blender, crock pot, etc. The bathroom has a shower unit (no bathtub). The separate bedroom contains a queen-size bed with plenty of closet storage and dresser to unpack your suitcases, put everything away, relax, head out and enjoy. For your convenience, there is a compact washing machine, although small, to clean your clothes; plus electric clothes dryer.

When a reply is sent that the cottage is available, the website will automatically send you an email requesting payment of one-half of the total to be sent in advance to confirm the reservation. There will be a 48 hour hold on your requested dates to allow you time to complete details on your end. The one-half payment can be paid by credit card through this website. When the website sends a request for the one-half payment, you will notice a 'service fee' has been added to the quoted amount. This fee goes directly to the website. When I receive notice of your payment, I will send you an email to provide you with information regarding key retrieval, directions, etc.

Your well-behaved pet is welcome, but you will be responsible for clean-up and damage due to your pet. Out of courtesy to others, please do not allow your pet on the leather couch or the bed. Also, please bring your pet's food/water bowls plus their bedding and a towel. There is a small back yard behind the cottage to walk your dog. Please do not let your dog walk on neighboring property.

The cottage is very well equipped and contains everything you need, other than your personal belongings and food/drink. There is a convenience store within walking distance which makes going out for forgotten or wanted items very easy without having to get back in the car & drive. There are several very good restaurants and shops either within walking distance or a short drive away. The scenery is beautiful.

You are welcome to have guests visit but no overnight stays.

Thank you for looking at this listing. I hope to hear from you.

P.S. Due to internet interruptions, if you email me and do not receive a reply within 24 hours, please give me a call and leave a message.

This cozy cottage is exactly how we felt during our weekend stay in Keene. The Stewart Shop & gas station was super convenient & walkable from the cottage. The property was well kept and met all our needs. Would highly recommend. Thank you Dorothy!

Perfect for our stay

My husband and I were in Keene to do some hiking and found Dorothy's cabin perfect for our needs. The inside was so warm and inviting and very clean. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen adequate to prepare a few simple meals. The location was perfect for the trails we intended to visit. There was a Stewarts close by so we could pick up breakfast pizza or sandwiches on our way out. There were only two downsides, it was pretty close to the busy road so there was quite a bit of traffic. We had our dog with us so we had to be mindful of not letting her get loose. Outside furniture could use some repair. But we would certainly recommend this property and hope to be able to stay there again.

Dorothy was a great host!

Dorothy had thought of everything you might need and had it available including well explained instructions of how to operate the TV and washer and dryer. Also, she had lots of books and brochures on local area hikes and things to do.

Great for a short stay.

We stayed for 2 nights and it was perfect for the two of us. The host, Dorothy, was prompt in answering questions. The house was well stocked with kitchen items. The bathroom was also stocked with good towels. This has an older rustic cabin feel, but we found it comfortable - especially the bed! Because the house is just a few feet off a busy highway, there was some noise at night. Fortunately, we are sound sleepers so it didn’t bother us too often.

Very cozy cottage, feels like home

The cottage was a perfect place for my family of three. We're welcomed warmly with instruction notes for every need. A sofa hall in the middle of the Adirondacks with Wi-Fi was very comfy. The kitchen had everything to make breakfast and dinner and it's not surprising that we were totally ready for the next outdoor trip every time we went out. The backyard had a campfire setting but unfortunately it rained. The bedroom has a TV with a player and there were DVDs of movies that give the feel of the vacation and we watched Rush Hour. We thank Dorothy for the hospitality, it's a pleasurable place for a vacation. The cottage is very close to Lake Placid, Whiteface mountain and Keene Valley and easily accessible for hikers in the Adirondack.

We were surprised when we walked in. "Cozy" can be a code word for lots of different things, not all of them good, but this cottage is really sweet. And cozy. With resourceful and creative use of a small space, it had everything we needed for our three days or kayaking. Completely outfitted kitchen, plenty of plush towels, comfy bed, house plants, and oodles of electrical outlets. Don't be scared off by the fact that it's on an important road. You won't notice traffic when you're inside and the bedroom in the back is absolutely quiet. Next time we'll make more time to sit out back around the "chiminea" fire pit and watch the stars come out. P.S. Super convenient location for everything you love to do in the Adirondacks.

Perfect!

The cottage is the perfect spot for a centrally located and comfortable little stay in the high peaks region. Minutes from Keene Valley, close to Lake Placid. The cottage is small, but for those just looking for a comfortable place to stay, this spot is great. Dorothy communicated very well and made everything very smooth and easy. Will be staying here again.

Holiday getaway

Perfect little space for my husband and I and our 2 dogs. Close proximity to hiking and cute little restaurants, but not too far from Lake Placid when we felt like venturing in town. Gas station next store was super convienent for when we needed to grab some snacks. Backyard was cute but we sat out front and watched the people go by.

Cozy cabin

This was a lovely little property. It's location was perfect for sight seeing but with limited restaurants open during the early part of the week. Weekends everything is open. That said great restaurants within 15 minute drive in all directions. Dorothy was a wonderful host and we enjoyed our stay very very much Thank you Dorothy!

About the host

Hosted by Dorothy Sawczyn

Host profile image
We live in the house next to the cottage and always enjoy meeting and talking with the people visiting our area.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is located in the 'Heart of the Adirondack Mountains' and central to many mountains and hiking trails. Located just off the main road, it is easy access in, easy access out. Being in town, you have the convenience of walking to many shops rather than get back into the car after a long days adventure. Very cozy & comfortable.

What makes this property unique

The kitchen gives you the option to cook meals if you would like to save money plus enjoy a home-cooked meal or just relax and enjoy a meal from the restaurant. The 'in town' location allows you to walk to several shops, restaurants, etc. without having to get back into your car.
