We really enjoyed our stay! The house was spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable. And the location was absolutely perfect. Our family of 5 (2 adults 3 kids) spent countless hours at the river and riding bikes at the nearby trails. Honestly, we ended up doing fewer outings than planned because everyone was happy to hang nearby the house. We were there a particularly warm week in July, but the house stayed pretty cool with a good breeze and fans. We wish we lived closer to visit in the fall-- a really lovely house to take in the charms of the Keene Valley and greater Adirondaks.

This property had ample space for us, our two grown daughters and dog. The owners were correct when they said you could hear the river in the morning from the front porch. It was an easy drive to Lake Placid and equally easy to get to Lake George. We highly recommend the Keene Valley Farmers market on Sunday mornings, the Au Sable Forks brewery and the French bakery. The only thing to keep in mind is that pets are not allowed on the furniture so make sure your pet has been trained for that aspect.

True Adirondack experience! Nothing could be better if you want to have a remote, clean, and comfortable place to stay while visiting the area. It is close to everything you want to see, yet you feel alone tucked between the woods and the river. Not a far walk to a hiking/biking trailhead which was a pleasant surprise. The hosts are amazing! They were so accommodating and helpful. You will not be disappointed if you stay here. They have done a lot to this cabin to make it a great experience.

Incredible place to stay!

We had a wonderful time staying at the river house. The river is beautiful and fun to relax by and play in. The location is perfect.. within easy range of a bunch of great hikes, swimming holes, and Lake Placid. We enjoyed making s’mores and star gazing. We did some cooking and grilling and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!

Oh my goodness! 10/10. I highly recommend this cozy cabin! Great location right by the river, wonderful local restaurants, close to Whiteface and Lake Placid area. This cabin had everything we needed plus some! It was nice to be able to use the wood stove when we got back from a long day of skiing. The beds could not have been more comfortable! The communication was excellent. There is so much to do in this area! We hope to come back and do some of the amazing hiking trails. There were so many games at the cabin for our boys to play! Our stay could not have been any better!
