Bare Bones Cabin in Nice Location
This is a tiny bare bones cabin. Hardly room for a couple. No stove or place to cook. There was microwave and sink. The bed was large but mattress sagged in middle. The drawers were hard to open and close. No one on premises to greet you; access entirely on internet, but internet and phone connection spotty. We did not receive emails so we had a lot of trouble getting in. However, owners were subsequently available by phone and were responsive if we had problem. The location is excellent right between Saranac Lake and Lake Placid and hiking and restaurants. Also, the location is quiet.

Nice private, convenient place
It's a fairly small space, but had everything I needed for eating my meals in. Very convenient location between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake with a convenience store and some restaurants in easy walking distance.

Why they chose this property

We are tucked away in the tall pines at the edge of the Adirondack Wild Forest, a old-world camp style cabin property rarely found today! The cottages have been refurbished and modernized from the original 1920's construction, but still maintain the rustic Adirondack feel. It is a quiet, camp like setting perfect for launching local outdoor adventures, access to two villages with world-class restaurants, shopping and Olympic attractions, and relaxing with friends and family away from the hustle and bustle. We offer 9 different cabins on the property. Please do see our other listings under Moreno's Cottages #2 - 10 on VRBO. We offer 1 bed / 1 bath and 2 bed / 2 bath cabins, one of which is year round. If you do not see your dates available, or wish for a slightly different cabin (each one is unique!) or more space, please do check our other listings! Search our listings under our profile, "Moreno's Cottages" or 322 Ray Brook Rd for different styles, sizes and reviews. Cabin #10 is our only year-round accommodation available for guests.
