Ten/ twenty minutes to Lake Placid, Whiteface Mnt. Saranac Lake!

The Adirondack Shangri-La is the perfect 'cabin in the woods' experience. Breathe in the silence—detox between activities in a wood-fired Sauna, a cleaner bath than a shower, or the seasonal outdoor shower. Re-align to your natural state of awareness. Continue your old-fashioned Adirondack experience by sitting around the campfire or sharing a meal at the picnic table. Save the Earth and use a privy! That's right; there is no indoor toilet. The cabin has electricity and jugs of water for cooking & dishes but no running water. There is a sink to dispense of dishwater or to brush your teeth. Coming in May, an outdoor, heated shower. Most phones have cell phone service, but there is no internet. Fill your extra hours with cards, games, books, and conversation. While this location feels remote, it's just 10 minutes away from skiing, hiking, swimming, shopping, and restaurants. No smoking inside the cabin. Be sure all fires are extinguished before retiring.
I love animals; however, they are not allowed. There are no exceptions, not even for those who want to keep their animal in the car during their stay, and absolutely no illegal immigrants or "New Commers" allowed.

Adorable, cute, & whimsically furnished. Bed was comfortable for 2, and place was clean. There is plenty of room to park, outhouse was clean and well lit b/c of the clear plastic roof. Area around property was cared for, for the most part. Behind the property could be a lovely view to the creek, but that area is used to dump some tree cuttings. Not a big deal. The listing includes a spa/hot tub. There is no spa/bathtub or hot tub. There is an outdoor, wood fired, sauna! How fun- we were looking forward to using it! It is padlocked so only owner can fire it up. Owner asks for 1.5 hours notice to get it toasty. I texted with ample time to use the sauna, and got no reply. When we arrived, a note informed us that there was a crack in the window glass of the sauna that happened "yesterday" so the sauna was unusable. Owner added that they require a 24 hour notice to light the sauna anyway, so my 2-hour lead time was insufficient anyway. Listing includes a "gym" which I think was the yoga mat rolled up in the corner. There was just enough room for one person to use the mat for indoor stretching. The drive is gravel/stone which is fine, but if you are staying when there is snow or rain, drive a vehicle with clearance; the snow was not plowed from the driveway which had deep ruts. The "queen" bed was 6 or 7 inches narrower than my own queen bed at home. Overall a peaceful, tranquil stay in a pleasant wooded area. Outdoor firepit and games for fun!

10 year Anniversary getaway
We stayed at this property as a weekend away for our 10 year anniversary. It was calm, quite, relaxing and made us feel like home. Its close enough to tour the area but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of a tourist destination. We grew up in the country and being able to spend a few nights in the secluded woods was awesome. The sauna was just what we needed to get our days started.

Location and comfort
The cabin is lovely and well-outfitted. It is located just outside of Saranac and makes getting into town easy. We were there on one of the coldest nights and it was warm and cozy. The bed was very comfortable. And, in the morning, at the stream just below the cabin, we saw an otter playing in the snow and stream.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Communication with the owner was clear and complete, and began approximately one week before our scheduled stay. The cabin was clean, warm and cozy. The owner went above and beyond during our stay to ensure we were happy. She even got the wood fired sauna going for us and it was amazing! It is a rustic stay, meaning the facilities are outside. However, if you are seeking a spot for 2 that is away from the hustle and bustle, where it is quiet and peaceful in the woods, this is an option to consider for sure!

Wonderful Winter Weekend Getaway
My boyfriend and I loved our stay here. We played games that were left in the property all night long after spending the day skiing at Whiteface. We will definitely be back again.
