The perfect setting

I’m trying to find the right words but all I can think of was a perfect Adirondack experience with our family. I brought a 16’ motorboat which enhanced the value by being able to explore Cranberry lake and it’s breathtaking. Rich was so nice to deal with and actually reached out a month in advance to answer any questions for our upcoming trip which I thought was really helpful. My teenage girls absolutely loved our trip, Especially catching fish right off the dock….This place is a gem. 10/10

Rainy Week

This was our second stay in Rich's camp. We love the location, plenty of hiking trails are found nearby. Although the weather left much to be desired, the family still enjoyed our time in Wanakena. Rich is a great host - investigating questions we gave him. Looking forward to a return trip next year.

Perfect Getaway

The cottage is beautifully situated and has everything you need. It was great to have the kayaks , the dock, and the fire pit. The cottage was very clean and as described. The town of Wanakena is lovely and there are nice trails to hike nearby. There is a nice, small grocery/convenience store in town, but you should try to bring most of your food as there are no restaurants or large grocery stores nearby. We had a great week and would recommend this cottage.

Great Getaway

Our family enjoyed our relaxing week in Wanakena. The camp was lovely, exceptionally clean and the 5 of us had plenty of space to relax. Rich is a great host - there was a network problem with WiFi upon arrival. Rich was completely available to get the issues solved.

Return visit

Thank you Rich for another great stay at your property in Wanakena. We had everything we needed in the spacious, well stocked, well cared for house. This is our second stay and we noticed the improvements you've made-the flowers are beautiful! Thanks for accommodating our three little ones ages 5, 6, and 7-they all had a joyous time playing in the water, fishing, and just running free.

Just beautiful

This cabin is just beautiful ... perfectly appointed, great setting, comfortable furniture and beds. Kitchen is ideal for quick bites or cooking a full meal (which I did!) Our weather was ideal fall temps and we loved walking to the Ranger School and on the trails nearby. Even the little cafe a mile down the road is delicious and friendly ... we really enjoyed getting to know the owners and locals alike. I definitely had to plan ahead for groceries since the nearest grocery store is 40 mins away, but the cafe had any small items I needed to get me through the night. Beautiful cabin - would definitely recommend!

Beautiful Fall Stay

Had a wonderful stay amid the autumn colors. House was very clean and well outfitted. Enjoyed cool hikes, kayak paddles, and campfires before returning to the warm, cozy house. Everything felt updated and in great condition. Rich was very personable and shared lots of helpful information about the house and the area before we arrived. Would definitely recommend this property.

Beautiful cabin on the water

We really loved the location and all the amenities this cabin offered! It was great having our coffee out on the dock and relax by the fire at night. They have everything there for your stay minus the food which was convenient. The only thing that was hard with kids was the dock but it was manageable. Also there is a small area to swim with a sand bottom but it's not a real sand beach. The only suggestion I would have for the cabin itself is to have a TV downstairs as well and not just upstairs so that if you have a rainy day there is something to do especially for the kids. Overall we had a great time and I would recommend this place!!

Amazing rental for our family of 5

Property was even better than pictured, perfect for our family of 5. We even had guests stay in the cottage for a few days, Rich was accommodating and everybody was comfortable. Kitchen had what we needed, we got out on the water, fished off the dock, took a few hikes—we did it all. So comfortable and relaxing, first time in a long time we all wanted to stay an extra week.

Peaceful getaway

I can not say enough about this property and host. Rich was very helpful and truly wanted to ensure we enjoyed our stay. He told us about a playground nearby for our kids and other fun things to do. They loved the little cabin which was like their own little hideout. The main cabin is beautiful, private and cozy. The first couple days of our stay were rainy and temps were in the low 50’s-60’s but the cabin stayed warm and comfortable. The host has thought of everything a renter might need during their stay. Everything was very clean. With the rainy weather, the washer and dryer also came in very handy. The lake itself is very peaceful. We stayed the 4th of July weekend and it still was not super busy. We enjoyed use of the kayaks. My 6yr old daughter was quite proud that she learned how to kayak by herself during our stay! Fishing we caught several perch, sunfish, catfish, and a northern. The little town of Wanakena is quaint and cool to check out. The Wild Center in Tupper Lake is less than an hour drive away. We loved our stay and would definitely rent this cabin again. Both our children have already asked multiple times if we can go back!

Great for family vacation

We rented this cabin during the last week in June 2021 for a family vacation. It was perfect for 3 adults, a 6 year old and a 3 year old. The cabin had plenty of room and all items we could possibly need. The owner was very thoughtful in trying to think of everything we would need/want. It was clean and well taken care of. The dock was lovely and we spent a lot of time fishing, swimming, and just enjoying the view and quiet setting. The location of the cabin allowed us easy access to short outings: the Cathedral Fire Tower, the Moore Trail, the suspension bridge, playgrounds, and beach in Wanakena, as well as the longer trip to the Wild Center in Tupper Lake. We had a great time-thank you Mr. Brown for sharing your cabin with us!
