Well-appointed home with beautiful lighting, and enough Adirondack chairs on the wrap around deck to play musical chairs. Lots of rain during our stay but since half the deck is covered, we could sit outside and listen to the rain.Be careful when you swim. The water off dock is very shallow. As you look toward the island swim to the left to avoid rocks and reeds, which are hard to see. If you like privacy, peace and quiet, this is the place.

Our family had an excellent time. Everything exceeded our expectations: The excellent porches, wonderful pond, comfortable mattresses. Don’t miss the nearby Wild Center, VIC walking trails or easy climbs to Coney Mountain or Mount Jo.

A perfect stay

Chris and Betsy were extraordinary hosts, incredibly responsive, and extremely helpful with any/all questions about the area. The house is perfectly appointed, private, and ideal for friends and family gatherings. The lake is spectacular - rain or shine, we absolutely loved this spot. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

Awesome get away for family

This was a well maintained & well thought out vacation rental. Location was ideal with great water access & privacy. The house was well equipped with everything you need indoors & out. The pond was amazing; very quiet, private and great for swimming / canoeing. We will definitely come back!

Adirondack vacation 2024

Beautifull spacious log cabin home. Booking went smoothly. Used the kayaks and fished everyday. Caught some small perch. My favorite was listening to the breeze rustle through the trees while relaxing on the huge deck.

We love it here…

It’s the most perfect retreat! We have now stayed here two years in a row. The hosts are wonderful—flexible, gracious and respond so quickly when we have questions. It’s so private, the driveway itself is a wonderful walk in the wintertime. We ice fish and then come right back into a warm cozy huge cabin. Just love it here.

Spectacular

Secluded, magnificent log cabin on a quiet pond with no one else around! Cabin is well stocked with everything you could ever want or need for a vacation. Location is private and perfect for a get away if you are actually really looking to GET AWAY! Communication with the host is excellent. This was our second visit and we will be back for a third!

4th year in a row

Everyone relaxes the minute we drive down the driveway. Already getting dates for next summer. The hosts are amazing and very responsive. Left my pillow and they even mailed it back to me. They treat us like family. Cannot recommend this cabin enough.

Another start to Summer in ADK

This was our 3rd stay in the cabin and once again it did not disappoint. The weather was calling for rain all week but as they say up here, "just wait 5 minutes and it will change." We hiked every day, fished the pond, canoed, kayaked and relaxed. A few jaunts into LP and before we knew it the week was done. Already planning for next year.

An amazing Adirondack experience. Total tranquility at McCauley Pond. No motorboats, great fishing, excellent birding. The kitchen in the house is fantastic and perfect for family meal prep and time together. Swam out to the island off the dock (pic) and saw bald eagles overhead; loons calling at night.Chris is an amazing host who is one of the most responsive I've encountered on this or any other rental booking site. Every question was answered within 30 minutes. We've been staying with small and large groups (including pets) in the Adirondacks for decades, and this is one place we will definitely return to. Close to Lake Placid and Saranac Lake. We didn't need to leave the property other than shop for food and had a great family experience.

Wonderful home and spaces. Location for nature, hiking and kayaking was perfect.

Everything as advertised. Perfectly stocked kitchen, utensils and supplies. (Could use a new TV but not a huge issue). Big common spaces yet places to "hide" if we wanted. McCauley pond was a terrific morning spot for coffee and nature. And just down the road in two directions were the most beautiful kayaking trails we have experienced. All agreed that we would come back here in the future without a second thought. Thanks to Chris and Elizabeth for making this a perfect week for us.

Like coming home…

This was the second time we stayed here! Chris allowed us to arrive earlier to check in - which worked out great for us since I was traveling with my family (husband, four girls ages 6, 4, 4 and 5 months) and my brother and sister in law along with our dogs. As soon as we walked in the door - it was like coming home- the log cabin is BIG, but they manage to make it feel so cozy. Everything we needed was there! We LOVE the heated floors and the fireplace!! Despite an unseasonably warmer week, we still managed to go sledding one day on the driveway, explore down near the lake, take the horse drawn sleigh ride at Lake clear Inn, and make our annual visit to downtown Placid (20 min drive) and the brewery! All this whole coming back to home base! We’re so grateful for Chris and his family to share their beautiful home!

Wonderful week!

My family stayed at this Adirondack cabin July 1-8. We found it to be one of the nicest VRBO rentals we have used for a vacation. The cabin is beautiful, spacious, and comfortable and easily accommodated six adults. It was close to Saranac Lake and Lake Placid, but secluded and peaceful. The bedrooms each had its own bathroom, the kitchen was well equipped, and the deck had more than enough space for activities under cover and open. The water was a short walk away with a dock and kayaks, canoe, and a rowboat available for use. Fishing was great! For those times we couldn’t be outdoors due to rainy weather, there were board games, jigsaw puzzles, books to read, and TV. Our favorite indoor activity was the pool table in the basement along with the best album collection ever! The only down side was that we had to leave after a week, but hope to return soon!

Exceptional. Beautiful. Spacious. Feature-filled. Convenient.

We walked into the Great Room and said, "Wow!" This from experienced HomeAwayers and our even more experienced family of friends from Germany. We didn't have a chance to meet the owners, Chris and Betsy, who live off-site, but Chris responds quickly, fully, helpfully, and congenially to all inquiries. The home, the location, and the pond (actually a small 76-acre lake) are just plain wonderful. Not accessible for mobility impaired, but superb for everyone else. The path down to the pond is rustic, well-maintained, and easily walked. The house is bright, spacious, comfortably furnished, well-appointed, and truly beautiful. On the outside, there is more deck space than one would hope, both open air and covered in case of rain. Thanks, Hummes, it was wonderful.

Secluded house in the woods

Very large and beautifully built house. Modern appliances in good order; there is even a piano that we enjoyed. Comfortable and spacious master suite. Overall, we had a great time! Thank you! Suggestions for improvement: (1) The dock is not equipped for swimming. One has to wade through muddy bottom. We suggest installing longer dock with a ladder at the end to make entering water more pleasant. (2) There is no view of the lake as it is covered by trees. We suggest clearing out deciduous trees between the house and the lake to open up the view. (3) Request to remove bedding and start laundry before departure is unusual for a house at this price point.

Best VRBO for Outdoor Lovers

This property is perfect for a family getaway! The communication with the host was great and checking in was super easy, he even let us check in a few hours early. The property far exceeded all expectations and the pictures did not do it justice! The property is well maintained and the home was spotless! Should be noted that the home kitchen had everything we could have possibly needed for our stay! There is a well maintained trail down to the dock, which had a canoe, kayaks, and a paddle boat! We used all of them and had a blast! They have tons of life jackets available and fishing poles for use too! The lake is gorgeous and is only shared with a few very distant homes, so it feels like you have it all to yourself! The basement was also fun with foosball and pool! We also enjoyed the wrap around patio and all of the seating! The piano upstairs was fun to play too! Highly recommend to any family - we had 6 people but it could definitely sleep up to 10 comfortably! We loved our stay and will definitely be back! Also not far from Saranac and Lake Placid which was great! Definitely a gem, you won’t be disappointed!

We had a great week. The house and property are wonderful. If you want peace and quiet, you will be very happy here. The only sounds you'll hear are the loons on the lake and the wind through the trees, so many trees -- aspen, birch, maple, fir, and some very tall pine. No motor boats or jet-skis on this lake, we saw one rowboat the whole time. We actually saw more loons than humans while here (2 of the latter, out in the rowboat).As we did also hear the sound of quite a bit of rain (rain in the trees also a nice sound though!), the pool table in the basement and the piano in the main room saw a lot of action. That main room with its dizzyingly high cathedral ceiling is pretty spectacular (not quite captured in the photos)Our dog especially enjoyed the trail down to and up from the lake, and the Awesome Adirondack Rail Trail is right the road, a major plus and a 5 mile bike ride to Saranac Lake.The kitchen is well-stocked and there is a record player in the basement and of course TV if you tire of all the nature sounds.Chris provided ample useful information prior to arrival, he responds promptly--while we didn't need him during the stay, our son managed to leave leave several items behind, which Chris happily agreed to send to us.Thank you, Chris! We hope to return in the future!
