About this property

Lion's Den Cabin at The King's Pines

Our Lion's Den cabin is on fifty acres of pine woods in the Adirondack foothills. Lovingly hand-crafted, we cut down the trees, put them through our sawmill to make the wood and built the cabin ourselves. The property is secluded and very peaceful. We welcome our guests to hike our trails - winter, spring, summer and fall. We are back to nature and use solar power for the lighting in the cabin. As it is 12V, you cannot plug anything into the outlets. We use rainwater for our bathroom (sink, shower and flushing toilet). The cabin has a queen size bed upstairs and a fold-up full size mattress for extra guests. Downstairs the sofa bed opens to a full size mattress. A generous size porch makes for comfortable relaxation. Come see what the quiet is all about and why our guests love the off the grid experience!

Lovely, well-made cabin.

Clean, quaint, perfect for a semi rustic outing. Only got to stay one night of two booked (due to sickness) but it was comfortable and with picnic tables, grill, outdoor fire space, seems like a great spit at which to hang with friends.

The craftsmanship of the cabin was flawless. It was the perfect home away from home with unique experiences. We cannot say enough good things about this place. The host is very responsive and had everything we needed. It was very relaxing and nice to get away for a few days. We didn’t have great service in the cabin, which made the experience even better. A break from technology was much needed.

Magical winter retreat

Each winter my wife and I find ourselves coming back to the Lion’s Den for a picture perfect break from it all. The wind through the trees and crackle of the fire welcome us back like old friends every time.

Serenity

It was so nice to stay here and take a break from the world. Beautiful cabin! Lovely trails to walk around and it took us right back to our cabin. Figuring out the plumbing was simple with their directions. The bed was very comfortable and the wood stove heated the house well. Definitely would like to stay again!

Our fourth winter trip to The Lion’s Den was exactly what our family needed on our annual trip! Back to nature, quality family time, and the most serene, peaceful environment for a few days. Rick is a fantastic host and provides outstanding accommodations. Comfortable beds, a clean cabin, and acres of stunning scenery to enjoy! We cannot wait to return next winter!

An outdoor dream come true

Absolutely beautiful property and cabin. Everything was just amazing in every way. We spent our honeymoon here and it was the best memories I’ve ever made. The cabin was so warm and inviting. Definitely would recommend staying if you’ve ever wondered what it is to live in an off the grid cabin.

A wonderful cabin with details galore. Tranquil and inviting is a swing out front. Windows a plenty allowing one to peer out at the natural woods and woodland friends (bird feeder). A hidden gem; peaceful and pleasant.

Wonderful back to nature experience while also having the amenity of indoor plumbing. Birds and squirrels to watch, campfire with wood provided. Ability to charge cell and enough service to get texts in/out if desired. 100% will be staying again. Rick was great, friendly and helped us understand how everything worked, but left us free to enjoy the property in privacy.

Perfect cold November weekend

My partner and I came up for a long weekend with our two large dogs. The cabin was perfect with the wood burning stove and the impressive rain water system. We spent our days hiking and our nights curled up by the fire. The cabin was clean, with all necessary amenities for northern NY adventures. Thank you for your hospitality!

About the host

Hosted by Rick and Maria Bohlman

Host profile image
We love sharing our cabins with our guests. So many tell us how much they loved their stay and disconnecting from social media to enjoy the peace and quiet with their families. Many return for another stay...and another.

Why they chose this property

Our off-the-grid cabin offers our guests a unique experience. From pumping their own rainwater for the shower, sink and toilet to using our solar power for the lighting in the cabin, our guests tell us how special the experience of sustainable living was. With 50 acres of pine woods to hike, explore and enjoy, the rolling foothills offers interesting topography. Our cabins are spaced out on the property to insure seclusion and privacy.

What makes this property unique

We're right on the snowmobile trails and just 15 minutes from boat and kayak launches.
We are in the undiscovered area of the Adirondacks. Old Forge is one hour and 15 minutes away. Many of our guests go to Old Forge for the day and then return to the quiet of the cabin.
