Cozy Cabin
The cabin was decorated perfectly-warm, inviting, cozy. With two adults and two children (teenager and tween) we felt there was ample room for us to “have our own space”. The cabin is very close to Whiteface, which we appreciated, and approximately 15 minutes “ish” from Lake Placid. The property was clean, and well stocked (kitchen, towels, blankets, etc). The owner communicates well, and responds promptly. We highly recommend!

Such a cozy cabin!
The property was enjoyed by my partner and her two teens for the whole weekend. It was cozy and welcoming and we looked forward to retreating there after spending some time on Whiteface Mountain. The location is ideal if you're planning to spend time in Lake Placid or on Whiteface Mountain. Will definitely book again!

Convenient location for ADK exploring
This cabin is very centrally located for exploring Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, Tupper Lake, the Ausable River, Little Whiteface, and also not far from Lake Champlain. It had nice linens and everything you would need to be comfortable. Our only disappointment was the lack of air conditioning - they were having record high temps that week, but apparently their normal rhythm is to remove the window A/Cs in mid- to late-September, and turn on the heat. This is just something to note if you come in early fall. We were able to sleep comfortably at night with the windows open, but it got stuffy during the day. Good communication with the owner. The other note (this has nothing to do with the property in particular), is that in early fall Wilmington has almost no restaurants open on Mondays and Tuesdays, and some are closed for the season, so be prepared to drive or cook. We actually found a place called Monday Tuesday Grill south of Jay that turned out great. Lake Placid has a lot more things open.

I am glad that you enjoyed your stay in the ADKs. As I had explained before, this year has been the first year that I can ever remember having a string of 80 degree days in October. The average daily high is in the low to mid 60s in early October with average nights in early october in the 40's. Our barometer to determine when to pull the A/C units has been that when heat needed to be turned on for a week, we pulled out the window A/C units. This was done approximately a week before your stay because our previous 2 guests required heat and that generally signals an end to heat waves. Given that our climate is changing and this October might not be an isolated incident, we will need to extend the time the A/C units are in to be sure another October heat wave does not impact our guests.

The week was fantastic. We did 3 day trips Lake George , Burlington Vt., and a day at the horses Saratoga. 2 days hanging in Lake Placid. We stayed around the house at night had a couple of fires, cooked on the grill, sang some karaoke, and during a rain storm we played a game of monopoly. Wish we were still there. 👍

My family stayed at this very quaint and cozy property over the 2023 president’s week. It was clean, spacious for 2 adults and 2 teens, and very close, less than 5 min, to Whiteface Mtn where we skied everyday! In the evenings, a 15-20 min drive to lake placid and surrounding towns to visit our favorite dining spots. We ate in one night and found the kitchen to be very well equipped with anything you could need to cook a gourmet meal. Finally the many owl decorations throughout made this property a unique and warm place to stay. Owner Maureen was fantastic with communication.

Perfect ski vacation get away
This house was absolutely adorable! It was the cutest mountain cabin only a short distance from WhiteFace and about a 15 minute drive to Lake Placid. The house was very clean and welcoming, and in my opinion, perfect! My 6’2” husband’s only challenge was fitting into the shower. However, we still had a wonderful 4 days skiing and touring the area and will definitely go back.

Great location and amenities
My folks and I enjoyed this spot. I spent time skiing and they were able to enjoy just lounging at the cabin and finding some hiking nearby. Awesome location if you want to be off the beaten path of Lake Placid but still have it close enough to be able to run into town for a bite to eat etc. Highly recommend and would love to check it out in the summer or fall as well. Thanks to Maureen for timely responses to questions and for giving some great info on the scene in Wilmington and at Whiteface.

Fun Family Vacation!
We had a great time staying at Maureens cabin. When we arrived the driveway was plowed and stairs cleaned off. It did get a bit icy, but not her fault! The kitchen was well stocked so we could cook our own meals while we were there. We had pot, pans, coffee maker, toaster oven to have all our meals! LOTS of warm blankets that my kids enjoyed over the stay! Floors could get a bit chilly, so I am thankful we had some slippers. We also loved there were some games available that we used on the trip. The two rooms were nice to have when one kid wanted to watch TV and the other wanted a bit more quiet for coloring/drawing. No laundry on site, but we didn't need any. Overall, the stay was wonderful and we look forward to staying again in the future!

Thank you so much for your kind review Tara. The cabin does not have a washer/dryer yet as indicated in the listing. We are planning a future renovation of our attic into a master bedroom/bath which will then have a W/D and will be a great addition to the cabin! We also have area rugs in the bedrooms and living areas to help keep the floors warm. It would be lovely to have radiant heat in the floors but that is a very expensive upgrade....perhaps a thought for when the upstairs is complete. Hopefully, we will not have a flash freeze again anytime soon that will cause icy conditions:) Maureen

Loved this cozy owl cabin!
My family and I stayed here for a weekend ski trip. My adult daughters quite enjoyed the owl decor, and counted them all! The only downside to this adorable cabin is the small bathroom. If you're taller than 6', you probably won't fit in the shower. Maureen was very responsive and a lovely host, and everything was well stocked. We highly recommend this cabin and would love to stay here again!

So glad you enjoyed your stay! Yes, the bathroom has a shower and not a full tub. The shower head can be adjusted to go higher and we will install a hand held addition to alleviate any of those issues. We are also planning expansion into our attic to provide an additional master bedroom and bath that will contain a full tub. We are looking forward to making these additions soon.

Amazing owl house
My familly rented this beautiful house because it is 5 minutes away from Whiteface. There were 5 of us, 4 adults and 1 child 7 y.o. Maureen, the owner was extremely responsive and accomodating.When we came in the house we felt like we were at the owl exhibition. We enjoyed counting the cute little owls. The house is beautifully decorated and very clean. The decor makes it feel like your own home away from home. The smart TV and the fireplaces helped us spend the evenings . The kitchen was well equipped. The beds were very comfy. For the child Maureen brought a brand new sofa bed. A cute, warm, quaint place that offers lots of memories to come.It was the perfect getaway and we will definitly be back. Maureen, thank you very much!

This was our second visit to the Owl's Nest. The house was as cozy and comfortable as we remembered from last year. We enjoyed playing board games with our little girls in front of the electric fireplaces and making spaghetti after hiking the Cobble Lookout trail (only 10 minutes away!). I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a nice family spot in the Adiorondacks.
