The Kitchen has a gas cooking stove/oven, refrigerator, coffeemaker, toaster oven, sink, cooking utensils, flatware and dishes (service for 7).

Linens, cleaning, etc…
Camp Jenny is a housekeeping cabin rental which means there is no maid service. Guests bring their own linens, towels, blankets, etc.

Pet Policy
Before your stay, you must notify us that you will be bringing your pet or your reservation may be considered void upon arrival. All guests must read and agree to the owner's pet policy.

COVID-19 INFORMATION & SAFETY
We’re Sanitizing Even What You Don't See
The check-in time of our cabins will be extended to allow us to use our new equipment to air out each cabin between guests and sanitize what you see and don't see.

Whatever Comes Next, We're Thinking About It Today
We’re closely monitoring the NY State Governor’s guidance. Our operations will undoubtedly change and we appreciate your patience and consideration in advance.

Our Expectations of Guests
Taking Care
We are a small family business simply trying to navigate what the new normal is while also trying to maintain the health of our guests and ourselves. We expect that our guests have taken great care and precaution, as we have, to self-quarantine and social distance. We know the Adirondacks is beloved to many which is why we’re opening our doors in a limited way. We will welcome guests who have self-quarantined prior to arrival for 14 days and who are feeling well and healthy. We expect our guests to be honest - that they have not come into contact with anyone that has had active COVID-19. Our cabins host 8 or fewer people. Only one cabin will be rented to each party. We will disallow congregating in groups of more than 10. This restriction may ease later in the summer. If you do not feel you can meet these expectations, please cancel your reservation.

FAQ
*****
Do I need to wear a face covering?  Face coverings must be worn when in public areas such as the WiFI porch, in our local grocery stores, etc. We will wear them as well. A face mask can be purchased from us.
*****
Can I check in early or have a late departure?  We are sorry we can not honor any early arrivals or late departures this season. For guests who launch a boat off-property on their day of arrival, you may park your car and boat trailer at the top of our property - to arrange permission for this, please contact us 24 hours in advance of your arrival. For guests without a boat, we highly recommend you make your travel arrangements in conjunction with an outdoor activity along the way to allow you to abide by our later check-in. If you’d like, we can contact you when your cabin is available.

*****
Are the lakes “open”?  Yes, lakes are “open”. From Kiwassa Lake (where you’ll be), you may travel to several lakes and into the Village of Saranac Lake. If you’d like to travel to Lower Saranac Lake, you may go through the Lower Locks (manual system available until they open later this year; for current status, contact the DEC.

*****
Can I rent a bicycle? Please contact Human Power Planet Earth bike shop.  Reservations are required.
*****
Are area restaurants and shops open?  Yes, many restaurants are doing take-out in Saranac Lake and Lake Placid. Guests should not expect a normal dining experience but should instead enjoy the tranquility of our cabin and property. Most shops are operating at reduced capacity, though and require a face covering.

Rustic charm
We enjoyed our stay at Camp Jenny! It was a different stay than what we are used to. Zero internet service at the cabin, but when we went out on the water to kayak we could get a signal. Or you could take a short walk to the main house to get service too. Marjorie was available for any questions we had. Always pleasant and helpful. Gave us tips on kayaking locations and hiking options. The cleaning expectation upon leaving was doable but a lot for being on vacation. All floors had to be swept and mopped, toilets and sinks scrubbed, refrigerator shut off and cleaned as well. The last day weighed on my mind because I wanted to make sure we would have enough time to get all tasks done perfectly and on time for departure. I double checked with Marjorie to make sure we were all set! The lighting in the cabin is pretty dim. They have both electric lighting but also gas lamps for additional charm. Also, no air conditioning which was tough during this hot week. The windows did not let in much of a breeze. They did have a floor fan for the living room and one fan in the bedroom with two beds but overall it was pretty warm at bedtime despite our efforts. BUT this is all part of the rustic living and not having the frills. The location on the water was beautiful and worth the trip alone. Having coffee on the deck was a treat. And even sitting on the dock reading at night to my kids was a memory maker.

Peaceful, amazing location
Marjorie was a terrific host. She was very responsive, thoughtful & gracious (and we weren't the easiest guests!). The location is peaceful and amazing - close to the city of Saranac Lake which has with a great natural food store, bustling farmer's market, perfect bookstore and amazing toy/game store but far enough away that it's quiet and very remote. The lake is pristine. We paddled and fished and mountain biked nearby. Should have stayed for more than 2 nights!

Loved Camp Jenny!
Our family had an absolutely wonderful stay. Located in a beautiful setting off the beaten path, we were treated to our own vintage cabin which was rustic and super cozy, a dock to launch our kayaks, and fabulous hosts. They went above and beyond to make our visit perfect. We will be back!

Cochran’s Cabins Camp Jenny
We LOVED Camp Jenny and had a great stay! Camp was clean, rustic and comfortable and we loved the sunsets from the dock! Cochran’s were lovely hosts as well. Look forward to coming back soon!

About the host

Hosted by Marjorie Cochran

Host profile image
We own several properties in the area and this cabin is one of our favorites. We have lived in the Adirondacks since 1991 but have been part-time residents since the 1960s. We even attended the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid! We can offer suggestions for activities unless you simply want to rest and relax in a cabin.

Why they chose this property

This is the most scenic area in the east! It is an easy place to rest, relax and enjoy life at a slower pace. Kiwassa Lake is an idyllic and quiet lake and most guests return year after year to get away from the hustle and bustle of a faster pace.

The cabin offers a wonderful deck with Adirondack chairs that allow guests to put their feet up, read a book and soak up the view of the lake.

Often guests will take in a sighting of our lake loon and its beautiful calls. Other guests have said they have seen eagles, deer, fish jumping, wild types of birds, etc…

What makes this property unique

Our property is a dream come true. While there , guests enjoy bird watching, reading and traveling by boat to the nearby Village of Saranac Lake. Often guests will take in a sighting of the lake's loon and its beautiful calls. Other guests have said they have seen eagles, deer, fish jumping, wild types of birds, etc…
