Fantastic stay! Very quiet area. The cottage was very clean. Property was great for hiking. Close to a lot of attractions. Screened in porch was a great place to watch wild life. Had a few conversations with owner before trip and he gave us tips on areas we might like. Very well cared for property.

Great little cabin

We stayed here for two nights in June. Good location on Eastern edge of Adirondacks. The upstairs was perfect for our teenage boys. We really enjoyed the screened in porch with picnic table.

We stayed 3 nights in mid-July as a base for hiking in the southern section of the High Peaks. Cottage was cozy and welcoming, very clean, plenty of space for 2 adults and 2 teenagers to gather and also be out of each others way. Screened-in porch was lovely. House stayed fairly cool despite the stretch of hot/humid weather we hit. Access to fairly extensive hiking trails right on property. Easy drive to places like North Creek, Schroon Lake and Keene Valley. Would stay again.

Perfect getaway!

We have always loved having the ADK's nearby, and were delighted to find this gorgeous cottage available for a quick, much-needed escape to the woods. We own a large commercial cleaning company, so cleanliness is something we appreciate...this place was spotless and so well maintained. The attention to detail was amazing... will definitely recommend it to friends, and hope to return with our first granddaughter (due in August!). Thank you to the Halloran family! BTW, the waterfall out back was an added treat!!
