About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Peace and quiet. Close to mountains, far from crowds.

When you choose to rent our cabin, you help us support non-profits and give back to communities. We donate our home multiple weeks throughout the year to families in need.

Cairn Cabin is fully equipped and has space for couples or families to unwind and relax. Enjoy a fire pit, grill, and kayaks in the warm weather. Guests must transport kayaks on their own...we do provide tie-downs and foam pads. There is a game room on the ground level with a 55 inch HDTV (we have cable or you may access your Netflix, Hulu, etc), gas stove, ping pong table, puzzles, board games, DVDs, corn hole, and giant jenga! There is also a spare room dedicated as a space to store your gear out of the weather. Stash your bikes, skis, boots, or other toys and know they are safe and dry. Borrow our yoga mats and find your zen on one of two decks while you inhale the smell of fresh pine. The main floor has a gas fireplace for cozying up on a cold night, another Smart TV and bluetooth speaker for entertainment options. Need a book, we have many from which to choose. Get hooked...take the book with you for another day. Sit outside and listen to songbirds, take a walk on one of the community trails, or let go in a hammock with a good book. Lake Eaton is steps away for canoeing or fishing. The lake beach area also has space for wiffle ball, volleyball, tennis, or grilling, and we’ll leave you everything you need to get started. There are multiple nearby access spots to the Ausable River for world class fly-fishing opportunities. No matter the season, our cabin will put you near the center of what you want to do. **Our home may not be suitable for small/young children or toddlers because of the open wooden staircases between floors.**


This secluded cabin is surrounded by tall pines yet close to everything the Adirondacks have to offer. Sign up for yoga or book a massage at the beautiful New Vida Preserve and then make a reservation for a gourmet meal in their A-frame dining room with a view of the mountains. Catch some live music at the New Vida bar or Rudy's Bar and Grill! Enjoy breakfast and coffee at the Adirondack Mountain Cafe. Whiteface Mountain is right down the road for hiking and mountain biking when the weather is warm or skiing when the snow falls. Lake Placid is under 30 minutes south where you can browse the shops on Main Street and relive the history of the 1932 and 1980 Olympics with a ride down the bobsled track, a chairlift to the top of the ski jumps, ice skating, or a toboggan ride onto Mirror Lake. Ausable Chasm is 20 minutes north with rafting, tubing, rappelling, and rock climbing for the whole family. There are 46 high peaks over 4000 feet if you want to challenge your limits. There are 10 craft breweries within a forty-five minute drive!

We are 25 minutes from the ferry to Burlington, Vermont where you can shop Church Street, ride the bike path, or enjoy one of the many outstanding restaurants.

Comfy and well maintained cabin
We enjoyed the kitchen with many pots, pans and utensils to use for making meals. The cabin has lots of beds and space for two families to relax and have fun together; including a ping pong tournament! Also loved the gas fireplaces which added warmth and ambience.

Wonderful experience
We stayed at the cabin for our Christmas vacation this year. Susan was so helpful and communicative from the beginning of the booking and through the entirety of our stay. The cabin is well taken care of, cozy and comfortable, clean and roomy enough for all 8 of us! The furniture and beds are comfortable, and the fireplace is great. The outside property is so quiet and peaceful - we had a lovely week and would love to visit again. Thank you Susan and Jim!

Visit to our Great Nephew
Our family came up to visit our Niece, her husband and their new 3 month old baby. We all went to the North Pole and the kids had a great time. A doe visited the cabin every am/pm. The cabin was so roomy for the 7 of us. Great 3 day getaway.

Great quite getaway
This log home is fantastic! Great location on a quiet road in the woods. Everything you need is there. Fully equipped kitchen, beautifully decorated and a ping pong table. I played more ping pong in 3 days than I've played in the past 10 years. We had a great time.

Stay in the Adirondacks
This is definitely a great place to stay if you’re looking to get away. Very peaceful and quiet but also very close to the high peaks as well as trails.
