The Guides House • Cozy Main St Stay with Porch Views

Welcome to The Guides House, a cozy Adirondack retreat located right on Main Street — the perfect spot to soak in small-town charm while being close to everything.

Relax on the covered front porch, where comfy seating makes it easy to sip your coffee, fire up the propane grill, and watch the world go by — people, cars, and the energy of town right at your doorstep.

Inside, the home is warm and inviting with all linens, towels, and essentials provided. The kitchen is stocked for easy meals, and the living spaces are set up for comfort after a day of exploring. Upstairs you’ll find the bedrooms and the single full bathroom (please note: the only bathroom is upstairs).

Out back, enjoy a modest yard perfect for a little fresh air, and take advantage of off-street parking for two vehicles — a rare convenience right on Main Street.

What Guests Love
• The best porch in town for people-watching and relaxing
• Prime Main Street location with shops and restaurants nearby
• Off-street parking (2 vehicles)
• Cozy Adirondack style with everything you need ready to go
• Easy base for hiking, paddling, and year-round adventures

Whether you’re here for outdoor adventure or a quiet weekend away, The Guides House makes a perfect home base to enjoy the Adirondacks.

During the winter months, this home is a short drive from McCauley Ski Mountain and perfect for those looking to come up and enjoy our winter wonderland!

We had a very nice stay at The Guides House and would not hesitate to book there again. The host was very accommodating and quick to respond when we reached out to him. The house was both clean and comfortable. We did have a little trouble with the lockbox but with a little perseverance were able to get it to work. A very positive experience.

Great spot to be close to town. We were able to cook meals and watch tv when we weren’t visiting town or hiking. Jason is very responsive and made it very easy to stay there. The temps dropped below zero and the house was perfectly toasty. Although they supply sheets and towels, etc., I’d advise bringing your own. Along with blankets and pillows. We brought our own and glad because I didn’t see any pillow cases. All in all, I’d recommend. It fulfills basic needs for a quick stay. We were there 3 nights.
