Place was everything advertised and more, beautiful location, quiet, comfortable, good fishing right off the dock. Rich was friendly and informative, look forward to returning in the near future!
We had a great stay on Long Lake. Loved the screened porch and the view over the lake, the cottage is somewhat rustic and very well-aged but very comfortable. Nice hosts, beautiful spot.
Rich and Hillarie’s lakeside cabin was the perfect place for my Adirondack escape. The cabin is very cozy and clean, the dock was great for fishing and taking the sun, and the site in general is beautiful. Quick assess to all the hikes and attractions the area has to offer. Highly recommend!
My girlfriend and I spent last week at this property and found it to be exactly as it was described.It was a cozy "honeymoon suite" overlooking beautiful Long Lake and situated in a perfect location convenient to Buttermilk falls and the center of town.The owners were cordial and happy to answer any questions.I highly recommend this cabin and hope to return in the future.
This property was exactly what my husband and I were looking for in a get away, quiet vacation. The cottage was perfect size and very comfortable. Dishes, utensils, and cookware were supplied and in excellent condition. Fishing off the dock was superb. The screened in porch over looking Long Lake was most relaxing and comfortable. The weather was perfect, for beginning of Oct. The leaves were so colorful. We want to make this an annual trip!
We loved being right by the lake, with views from the kitchen and the screened-in porch. The host was helpful and friendly. The cottage has everything you could need for a relaxing stay. If you don't already know the area, Long Lake is an authentic not-too-touristy town, within easy reach for visiting the Adirondack Musuem, the Wild Center, Camp Sagamore, and the biking trail between Lake Placid and Lake Saranac. We plan to return. T
This was our second time staying at Richard and Hilarie's cottage, and it was just as wonderful the second time as the first. Charming, comfortable accommodations, friendly and responsive hosts, an idyllic location...we'll definitely stay here again!

Loved it! Great stay
The owners were SO accommodating and have the nicest little lakeside cabin. The location truly is amazing. Everything was perfect - especially the views. I will definitely be back.
A perfect location to experience the Adirondacks. Great little town and Long Lake is beautiful. Richard is very friendly and has tips on where to go and what to do. Would definitely visit again.
This cottage was so nice, great location, clean and close to all attractions. We have stayed in a few places in the Adirondacks and we will most defiantly come back. The owner greeted us which was nice and we had a bonus when he offered wood for the campfire. My husband LOVES to build campfires. Perfect place for couples and to unplug. May the Adirondacks always stay pristine and untouched.
The cottage is located in a grove of tall pines overlooking Long Lake, with great views from a large picture window and from the screened in porch. It was very quiet and felt very private. The cottage itself was clean and well furnished, including a stove that added charm and helped keep us comfortable on cooler nites. The bathroom has a deep tub/shower that is perfect for a relaxing soak or one may choose to use the outdoor shower. Richard and Hillarie were wonderful hosts and were available to take care of any of our needs, doing so in a non-intrusive way. We look forward to staying at this property during our next trip to the Adirondaks.
Stay was very nice. We were not happy with the fact that the TV was so small and there was no TV service. No news Chanel’s and only our own Netflix and Prime accounts. Very nice quiet cottage though and we would like to come again. There was some confusion with the payment schedule
A small cabin perfect for 2 with beautiful views of the lake and hillsides from the kitchen and porch windows. We look forward to coming back next year.
So wonderful being right on the water with wilderness view. Historic charm. Great location for hiking and canoeing. Richard and Hillary were close by and very responsive.
A great place to view nature without the bugs of a June rainy season. The screened in porch overlooking the lake was much appreciated as was the responsiveness of our hosts
This property is super adorable, clean, with amazing views of the lake. Within a minute, you are right on the dock, ready to swim or soak up the sun. Our hosts were really friendly with their cute pooch ready to greet you :). We definitely recommend.
We had a wonderful week enjoying the cottage and it's beautiful surroundings. We loved being able to launch our kayaks right from the beach in front of the cottage. Long Lake is beautiful with interesting features for kayakers and fishermen! The cottage met our needs.
We have now stayed at Richard and Hillarie's property four or five times, and each time we stay we're just as excited to come back as we were for our first visit. The peaceful Adirondack atmosphere, the perfect location right on the lake, the friendly and welcoming hosts...we couldn't ask for a better experience. We love the Honeymoon Cottage, and can't wait for our stay next year!
This was a fabulous little long lake lodge for a couples getaway - close to great hiking and we launched our kayaks and paddleboards right on the little beach out front. Just can’t say enough about how charming this spot is what a splendid location to watch the sunset and enjoy the morning sky over the lake… hosts were on the property nearby and Very accommodating to any needs ! Would definitely return …

Why they chose this property
The Honeymoon has been helping guest create beautiful memories for over 100 years. It is located on the former Deerland Lodge property, a resort from the turn of the last century. It has been renovated to have modern conveniences with old world charm. An enclosed iron tub provides a perfect spot for a bubble bath after a long hike or day lounging on the dock.
