Peaceful, cozy cabin in great location

Cozy cabin in a quiet, lovely spot surrounded by woods. Feels secluded, but conveniently located near town. The cabin had everything we needed, and we enjoyed fires in the beautiful fireplace every night. We would definitely stay here again. Exactly what we needed.

September in the woods

We had a lovely time at Camp Dakota! It is located within walking distance to State Trail Heads, short drive to Old Forge for shopping and close to Inlet & Eagle Bay for great hiking trails along Rt. 28 & Big Moose Road. The location is very quiet and peaceful.

Perfect wooden oasis

We booked this property to stay during our wedding weekend. It was perfectly hidden in the woods with owls hooing at night. If you’re looking for a quiet space to enjoy your Adirondack stay, look no further!

Great stay

Great location and very clean home. Property was very nice and porch was great. Photos of the main room make it appear slightly larger than it is but that’s not unusual for these listings. And we did have a family of six. Wonderful family vacation.

Nice family getaway

Overall a 4 star experience. I'll start with good. The location was absolutely perfect. Just out of town but felt like you were in the middle of nowhere. Very quiet place. The cabin was clean upon arrival and check in. Inside was spacious and outside had plenty of room for the kids to explore and play. Now the negatives. Upon arrival it was 90 plus degrees outside. The listing of the cabin showed AC (window mount). When we went inside there was nothing. First floor was fair at about 78⁰ but once you went upstairs, it was unbearable. I looked for a contact number in the welcome binder which had all the directions and such listed. I found a number and called it. Well, it was the previous owners number. Somehow their number had not been removed yet. I was about to call the next contact number listed, but my wife found an AC unit in the basement. So away I went carrying the AC up to the first floor. I wasn't expecting to play the HVAC installer while on vacation. One other inaccurate part of the listing, was a fully furnished kitchen. There really wasn't a lot of furnishings. The cabin essentials are more so set up for maybe a quick 2 night stay w a few people. If you plan on staying all week with a larger family (4 plus), bring paper plates, paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, spices, and a pot or 2. All in all, still a great place and a great stay.
