We were so happy to host Victoria and her husband at Windfall Cottage. They were absolutely wonderful guests — kind, respectful, and a true pleasure to communicate with from start to finish. They treated the cabin with such care and left everything in beautiful condition, which we deeply appreciate. We’d gladly welcome them back anytime for another peaceful Adirondack getaway. Guests like them make hosting feel easy and rewarding. Thank you both for choosing Windfall Cottage for your stay — we hope to see you again. 🌿✨

Lovely and comfortable in the woods with a large firepit. We also could take our little dogs. So quiet and relaxing. We didn’t use it but there is a spectacular upstairs bedroom with a king bed and couch and lots of room. We didn’t want the dogs going up and down the wood stairs or we would have stayed up there. Great coffee shop nearby Uncle Carl’s.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review! We’re thrilled to hear that you both had such a quiet, relaxing stay at Windfall Cottage, and that your two little pups enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and the large firepit in the woods. We completely understand taking precautions with little dogs on the wooden stairs—their safety and comfort come first! We're glad you still appreciated the spacious upper loft setup, and we’d love to welcome you all back again whenever you need another peaceful getaway (and another visit to Uncle Carl’s for great coffee!). Warm regards, Danielle - The Windfall Cottage

My family had a wonderful time staying in this clean, comfortable property! Take the time to visit Auger Falls on the way to Speculator and be prepared to take a dip in a pool to cool off. Be aware that the cottage is off the beaten track, so if you forget something, the nearest store is about twenty minutes away. We loved the gazebo and fire pit. The beds were phenomenally comfortable and everything was new. Loved it.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your family had a great stay, enjoyed the plush beds, and spent quality time out by the fire pit and gazebo. Auger Falls is definitely one of our favorite local spots to cool off! Thank you as well for pointing out our serene, off-the-beaten-path setting! For future guests reading along, we do have two great local delis right here in town for quick necessities and bites, though their operating hours are limited, so planning ahead for larger grocery trips is always a helpful tip. It was a true pleasure hosting your family, and we would love to welcome you back to the cottage anytime!

We absolutely loved staying at Windfall Cottage and hope to return! All the charm of a cottage with the comforts of modern living. The location was great, private, quiet. The October nights were crisp, so we made good use of the fire pit. The string lights at night give the property a magical glow. The temperature inside the cottage was perfect, and our bed was comfortable, so we had great sleep there. The balcony off the upper bedroom is wonderful. Note the bathroom is on the main floor, and the king bed is upstairs, but fine for us. We didn't cook on this trip, but appreciated the well-appointed kitchen, for next time! A little ways off of the main roads, but only 25 minutes from Speculator, where we had some good meals.

It's wonderful to hear that you found the cottage cozy, slept well, and appreciated the balcony and kitchen amenities. We love providing a space where guests can truly relax and unwind while enjoying the beauty of the Adirondacks. We would be delighted to welcome you back to Windfall Cottage for another stay.

This was our second time at this cabin. It’s absolutely beautiful. It’s very clean. The Wi-Fi is strong. They have everything you need. We were even able to park the fishing boat on the property and charge overnight. You can drive down to the beach with the kids. Plenty of things to do within a short drive. This property is a hidden gem. Thank you, Danielle.

We came up here for Columbus Day weekend. We’ve stayed in the area of Wells before but this was our first time at this house. It’s very cute and cozy. I especially liked the yard with it all lit up and made for nice nights by the fire pit. There’s also a small trail behind the house that was nice for a quick walk. The kitchen was filled with all you needed - pots, utensils, mugs, bowls, you name it. There’s plenty of games in the house too for the family. I had a small issue with the heat when we got there, but I was able to communicate with owner and got it rectified early the next day. There’s plenty to do in the area with hiking trails, visiting neighboring towns or simply relaxing by the lake. I love coming up here and will add this house to our list to visit again.

The cottage was in excellent condition, and I really appreciated the quality of the kitchen supplies, grill, and bedroom furniture/beds. I wish the weather had cooperated better for us to be able to use the fire pit, but overall this was one of the nicest places I've ever stayed at using VRBO!

Our family had a wonderful stay at the Windfall Cottage. The cabin has clean, comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The hosts were excellent communicators and made the entire process easy and stress free.We especially love the screened gazebo. It was perfect for a rainy day and helped keep the mosquitoes at bay so we could still enjoy the outdoors. The fire pit was another favorite spot for our family time in the evenings. Traveling with our 3-year-old grandson. We really appreciated having reliable WI-FI and access to the washer and dryer. Those conveniences made a big difference during our stay. The property was peaceful overall and we enjoyed seeing deer and turkeys around the area. Our only minor feedback is that the blue blazed trail was a little difficult to follow in places, and the neighbors were somewhat noisy over the holiday weekend.Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would happily. Recommend the Windfall Cottage to families. Looking for a cozy and relaxing adaronduck. Getaway, we would definitely consider staying again!

Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! We are thrilled to hear that Windfall Cottage provided the clean, comfortable, and cozy Adirondack getaway your family was looking for. It is fantastic to know that the screened gazebo and fire pit helped you make special memories together, rain or shine. We also completely understand how essential reliable Wi-Fi and a washer/dryer are when traveling with a 3-year-old, so we're glad those amenities helped make your stay smooth and stress-free! Spotting local deer and turkeys is always a treat, and we're so happy you got to experience the wildlife. Thank you as well for your constructive feedback. We'll be heading out to re-mark and freshen up the blue blazed trail so it's easier to navigate for future walks. While holiday weekends can occasionally bring a bit more activity to the area, we always aim to keep the property as peaceful as possible. We truly appreciate your recommendation, and we would love to welcome you and your family back anytime!

Beautiful property and cabin with all the amenities you need to break away for a weekend or as a home base for family vacation. No need to bring anything but your suitcase, games galore to entertain you, gazebo for eating dinner and firepit to relax. Trails from the property to go venture into the woods and to enjoy nature. Great communication with owner, kitchen had everything and endless gagets, utensils that you dont know you need till you do.

This is a beautiful cottage in the woods and you really feel like you are out there! You are only a few min down the road to Wells though. The cottage was gorgeous, every room and very comfortable. Everything was there, we wanted for nothing. We spent a fair amount of time in the gazebo playing games, again very nice and also used the firepit. A short ride by some deer in the woods will take you to wells. A nice beach for the kids, w lifeguards. Uncle carls coffee is a great find here too. A couple of convenience stores that fill most needs and have good people and some food. We were able to set kayaks in a couple locations by the beach and near the dam. Fished some, but it was hot and we didnt have any luck. In about 20 minutes you can be in speculator w a legit grocery, some places to eat and some nice ice cream shoops and another swimming beach. Auger falls is a nice short hike only minutes from the cottage and worth it for sure. I really cant say enough about the beauty of this cottage and its location. We loved it here!
