Although this property is very rustic, it was clean and well maintained. The owner, Richard, was friendly and easily accessible as he lives onsite and was outside taking care of the property. The lake front location was breathtaking. Do remember to take towels (including hand towels and wash cloths) sheets, and other âpersonalâ amenities (I.e. body wash).
We love the cottage, there's a beautiful view of Long Lake. The beach and dock are good for swimming and fishing is good too. The whole area is very pleasant. Unfortunately, it was very hot for several days while we were there in mid-July, and the cottage is very uncomfortable for about 6 hours a day, due to southern exposure and no AC. When the sun dips behind Owls Head Mountain it cools off at night, but we tried to get away from the cottage until about 8:00 at night.
Place was everything advertised and more, beautiful location, quiet, comfortable, good fishing right off the dock. Rich was friendly and informative, look forward to returning in the near future!
We had a great stay on Long Lake. Loved the screened porch and the view over the lake, the cottage is somewhat rustic and very well-aged but very comfortable. Nice hosts, beautiful spot.
My girlfriend and I spent last week at this property and found it to be exactly as it was described.It was a cozy "honeymoon suite" overlooking beautiful Long Lake and situated in a perfect location convenient to Buttermilk falls and the center of town.The owners were cordial and happy to answer any questions.I highly recommend this cabin and hope to return in the future.
Rich and Hillarieâs lakeside cabin was the perfect place for my Adirondack escape. The cabin is very cozy and clean, the dock was great for fishing and taking the sun, and the site in general is beautiful. Quick assess to all the hikes and attractions the area has to offer. Highly recommend!
This property was exactly what my husband and I were looking for in a get away, quiet vacation. The cottage was perfect size and very comfortable. Dishes, utensils, and cookware were supplied and in excellent condition. Fishing off the dock was superb. The screened in porch over looking Long Lake was most relaxing and comfortable. The weather was perfect, for beginning of Oct. The leaves were so colorful. We want to make this an annual trip!
This was our second time staying at Richard and Hilarie's cottage, and it was just as wonderful the second time as the first. Charming, comfortable accommodations, friendly and responsive hosts, an idyllic location...we'll definitely stay here again!
We loved being right by the lake, with views from the kitchen and the screened-in porch. The host was helpful and friendly. The cottage has everything you could need for a relaxing stay. If you don't already know the area, Long Lake is an authentic not-too-touristy town, within easy reach for visiting the Adirondack Musuem, the Wild Center, Camp Sagamore, and the biking trail between Lake Placid and Lake Saranac. We plan to return. T
The owners were SO accommodating and have the nicest little lakeside cabin. The location truly is amazing. Everything was perfect - especially the views. I will definitely be back.
A perfect location to experience the Adirondacks. Great little town and Long Lake is beautiful. Richard is very friendly and has tips on where to go and what to do. Would definitely visit again.
This cottage was so nice, great location, clean and close to all attractions. We have stayed in a few places in the Adirondacks and we will most defiantly come back. The owner greeted us which was nice and we had a bonus when he offered wood for the campfire. My husband LOVES to build campfires. Perfect place for couples and to unplug. May the Adirondacks always stay pristine and untouched.
A small cabin perfect for 2 with beautiful views of the lake and hillsides from the kitchen and porch windows. We look forward to coming back next year.
So wonderful being right on the water with wilderness view. Historic charm. Great location for hiking and canoeing. Richard and Hillary were close by and very responsive.
A great place to view nature without the bugs of a June rainy season. The screened in porch overlooking the lake was much appreciated as was the responsiveness of our hosts
Fifth-generation Adirondacker, Richard and his family live on adjacent property. Richard is a professional property manager and his wife works at a local museum. They have traveled extensively and welcome guests to their lakefront cottage.
The Honeymoon has been helping guest create beautiful memories for over 100 years. It is located on the former Deerland Lodge property, a resort from the turn of the last century. It has been renovated to have modern conveniences with old world charm. An enclosed iron tub provides a perfect spot for a bubble bath after a long hike or day lounging on the dock.
