Our ADK Cabin Retreat (in the Adirondack Park!) is built with rustic elegance in mind. The cabin is situated upon 1.5 acres of beautiful Adirondack woodland surrounded by 13,000 acres of state land in the Western Adirondack Mountains with the Oswegatchie River approximately 100 yards from the front door. The immediate area is great for hiking, kayaking, canoeing, swimming and exploring. Snowmobile right from the door to Lewis County C8 accessing all beautiful trails to anywhere in the state. Near the cabin are numerous ponds - French Pond, Long Pond, Round Pond, Rock Pond, Trout Pond, Clear Pond and Mud Pond which are all from 100 yards away to within two miles! A trail head for Jake's Pond can be found at the end of Long Pond Road only about 3 miles away. There are maps at the cabin for your use to personalize your own Adirondack Adventure! Snowmobiling (or ATV-ing) from the front door with plenty of trailer parking. The cabin is located on Long Pond Road Trail with Lewis County C8 and C5 trails less than one mile down the road. All beautiful trails to anywhere in the state. An amazing 30 mile ride southeast to Stillwater Reservoir then Old Forge; north to Harrisville and Star Lake; or up into the Five Ponds wilderness that is due east on Long Pond Road. We have made the cabin convenient for winter occupancy with plenty of trailer parking, a furnace and an optional electric fireplace to keep you warm. Our Oswegatchie Adirondack cabin was custom built by a local, master cabinet maker. The cabin is all on one level with a large covered patio with a firepit entering into a large well-stocked kitchen, full bathroom, laundry area, cozy living room and three bedrooms. No matter what the season, every day is beautiful. The summer sun off the waters, winter all in white or the fall with its intense colors. The cabin is surrounded by huge white pines, hemlock woods and maple hardwoods for color and fragrance. The cabin is approximately fourteen miles from the Village of Croghan and right around the corner from The Buckhorn Bar & Grill. Enjoy a lot of R+R time, swimming at our beach (only 200 yards through the beautiful woods), hiking, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, hunting, a campfire under the stars or seasonal activities of sledding, snowmobiling, cross country skiing and snowshoeing. We own an adjoining additional 5 acres lot with a 4 bedroom house directly next to the cabin (60 feet apart) and a 2 bedroom cabin behind The Retreat. See listings for details and to rent with the cabin - it's a great setup especially for a getaway with extended family and friends. These are separate properties but the cabins are close to each and share the beach amenities. Full access to the cabin, front and backyards and the shared beach, dock, rowboat, canoe and kayaks. Plus, enjoy the 13,000 acres of state land in the backyard. We live only two miles away so let us know if you need anything. We also own The Buckhorn Bar & Grill just around the corner. The cabin is on 1.5 acres of wooded land with 13,000 acres of state land in the backyard. We own the house directly next door on the adjacent 5.25 acres lot with French Pond on it. You are welcome to enjoy the sandy beach, kayaks, canoe and rowboat on French Pond just please follow the white markers heading left out of the driveway to follow the walking path off Long Pond Road to get to French Pond. There are two very occasional, seasonal neighbors; one across Long Pond Road and one east of the cabin on the other side of our 1.5 acres (you can barely see the cabin). There are other houses on Long Pond Road but they can not be seen from the cabin. The cabin is approximately fourteen miles from the village of Croghan and six miles from the Belfort Inn in Belfort (recommend this bar especially for the local atmosphere and crispy, delicious wings!). We have plenty of off street parking for cars and trailers. There is not any public transportation in this part of the Adirondack Park.
