Rustic but Adequate Accomodations

This place isn’t fancy but it has what you need and made vacation affordable for our family. Lots of beds and space to spread out.

Area is beautiful, Uncle Carls Coffee was lovely & the mercantile well stocked.House is everything what we thought it would be, typical log cabin which was great. It could do with some updating, which could be as simple as brighter lighting but on the whole it was lovely. Thank you

Perfect!

House is great! Everything we needed was there, pots, pans, dishes, towels. The covered porch is an amazing feature especially on those rainy Adirondack days! This is the 2nd time we stayed here.

Vacation

Overall the property was as expected. It could possible do with a bit of love and attention now and air conditioning would be great. But overall was good for us as a family.

Trip was great! House was exactly how described. Only down which is not really a down is that it was so hot and I’m from the south with no A/C but the fans he provided and we bought a couple more was great! We will definitely rent again! Plus my husband and 2 boys saw a bear run across the driveway! Didn’t have time to get phone in time for pic but it was pretty exciting!

A Wonderful Place to Get Away

Although I did not meet the Host in person, he was graciously hospitable via messages. My guest list was not finalized until I was actually there.The host was flexible with me at every communicaton. The cabin was very welcoming! All ammenities were exactly or better than as stated. We all spent time on the lovely wrap around porch! I hope to get back there again next year!

Annual snowcation

5 years in a row and looking forward to next year. Matt is great and so is the house. Not enough snow but that is Mother Nature. Winters seem to be coming later. Might have to adjust our dates next year. We had a blast anyway 😊

Perfect getaway

First of all, I have to say that the pictures do NOT do the cabin justice! There is so much space that my 11 and 14 year old daughters hardly faught at all! We were stranded for the half of our week due to having to have our vehicle towed to Amsterdam. The beach was a short little walk (bicycle ride) from the cabin, as was The Wells Edge. We are already talking about a return in the next year or 2 so we can explore the area further. We did get a chance to go to Great Sacandaga Lake and to Moffitt Beach in addition to the Wells town beach several times. The people of Wells were so incredibly kinda in my week of crisis, it was like a Hallmark movie.

We arrived and the check in process was so easy. Matt responded to all of our questions in a timely fashion and was very personable. The cabin was very clean and had little extra amenities that were so nice and home like feeling. It is very family friendly we had family over and they loved it as well. We were visiting and it was a very large family gathering. We would definitely come back again. Thank you Matt for a wonderful stay!!

Charming mountain home

We had a wonderful week in the Adirondacks. Great location, easy access to many beautiful spots. Several nice restaurants in the area too. Loved the wrap around porch, we spent lots of time there. The kitchen appliances are a bit dated, but the kitchen is well equipped. Bathroom is small for 5 of us, but shower has good water pressure. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. I would highly recommend, great space for a family vacation.

Fun winter getaway

Matt and his home are very welcoming! Matt helped with every question in a timely manner. The house was as advertised, cozy and comfortable. The outlets varied as to working or not but not a big deal. Kitchen was well equipped. We only had 4 people and living space was very comfortable for us but if we had the max number of peeps for sleeping the hangout space would have been tight! Sled trail is right outside the door which was awesome for us! Lakes galore!! We are hoping to come back in the summer for some kayaking!!
