Second time staying here and it was just as wonderful as the first time. The cabin is beautiful, the property is beautiful, there's nothing not to love about it. We'll be back again.
Our family of four enjoyed a long weekend at the cabin and exploring the area. Our kids especially loved exploring the creek. The cabin met all of our needs!
We had a fantastic stay at the Brookside Cabin -- two adults and two teenagers, up primarily to hike. Cabin was very clean and comfortable. Beautiful setting amongst the trees, alongside John's Brook. Only 1 mile from the Garden parking lot/trailhead, and easy access to the Keene Valley and Lake Placid. We hope to stay there again.
My husband and I were looking for a quiet place to relax and this was perfect. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the cabin and spent many hours outside listening to the sound of the water flowing nearby. Communication was great and the cabin is well-stocked with kitchen and laundry items. We would definitely stay here again.
The cabin in the woods of my dreams! The cabin was lovely, very clean and had exactly what we needed. The location was great we really enjoyed have the brook steps away from the back porch. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Our group enjoyed our third annual visit with great comfort and all the amenities we needed for a long weekend of tough high peaks hiking. Anticipating another trip next year. Canât recommend this cabin strongly enough!
We've now stayed at the cabin multiple times over the years. Extremely comfortable and cozy. Feels very secluded but easy access to a few great eating spots in Keene Valley (Ausable Inn, Noonmark Diner, etc.). The accommodations are very comfortable - especially love the heated floors! In spite of smaller size, it very easily accommodates our 13 and 15 yr old children up in the loft with the trundle pull out bed. The location is a great jumping off point for High Peaks hikes and checking out Lake Placid and surrounding area. We look forward to going again and again!
We are return guests to Johnâs Brook cabin. This visit was just as pleasant as past visits. We were greeted by a welcome letter and a loaf of banana bread. The cabin is well stocked and in a great location.
We look forward to returning soon.
The Cabin was so cozy! Downstairs bedroom was clean and comfortable.
They had a whole handbook of info to know, essentials for cooking and a laundry station.
Wifi was minimal so I wouldn't plan on working or streaming here!
One of the best VRBO experiences we have ever had!
We arrived at the property to find music softly playing, twinkle lights on the fireplace mantle, fresh flowers in every room and a wonderful basket of goodies that included homemade cookies and a welcoming note. Our cabin was just what we needed for a week of peace and quiet; enjoying afternoons in front of the fire. We cooked most meals in and had everything you would need and more! I couldn't recommend this cabin more highly and will definitely keep it on my "must return to" list. Thank you for making our stay so special.
My wife and I spent 19 days at the Brookside Cabin starting 8/16/23. The cabin was immaculate. It was so clean you'd think it was brand new. Everything worked perfectly. The cabin was very comfortable, and well stocked with everything you'll need for an extended stay. There were home made cookies and wood set up in the fireplace waiting to be lit. Its a short walk to restaurants and super close to hiking, biking, kayaking, concerts, plays, movies. We had the perfect relaxing vacation.
Fantastic cabin with everything you could ask for!
Our family stayed here as our home away from home during a ski trip to Whiteface, and it was perfect, even nicer than what we expected from the photos! Very very clean, really nice (and comfortable) handmade furniture, a cozy fireplace and a well appointed kitchen. Everything we needed was available, the owners have clearly put in a lot of attention to details: I don't think I've ever stayed at a cabin with a high quality, sharp kitchen knife, but this kitchen had one. And a gas stove too, not electric! As the cook in the family I was very happy. Radiant floor heating kept the place warm and toasty. We had a wonderful stay, and will definitely be back again.
We had the best stay in this little cabin, based ourselves here for hiking and fishing. The cabin is just perfect, the owners have thought of everything you could possibly need, with some cute personal touches too. They were kind enough to accommodate our dog and he was even greeted with his own bag of home made dog cookies. Close enough to keen valley to walk to the old mountain coffee company where you can get great coffee and breakfast, and there is a pub at the end of the road for a drink in the evening. One of the trailheads is a short walk or drive up the road. We didnât want to leave and will 100% be coming back!
We really enjoyed our second stay at this location. Quick drive to the Garden parking area and great local area. Cabin had everything we needed for a long weekend stay. Looking forward to a future visit.
Great location backing up to Johns Brook. Leanto is great for a campfire and private view of Brook. House was very clean and perfect size for our family of 4. Quick access to several high peak trailheads and Lake Placid town. Would definitely rent again without hesitation.
Cabin was the perfect setting for enjoying the beautiful fall scenery. We did a little hiking and there were several trails to choose from close by. Canât wait to go back.
Clean, comfortable, charming cabin. Back porch facing woods, with delightful sound of Johnâs Brook just beyond, offered relaxation and ideal spot for meditation.
