Cozy Cabin near Lake Placid/Whiteface w/King, Ice Barrel, Hot Tub

I’ve always been a traveler at heart, seeking places that create lasting memories. That passion led me to hosting. My family and I fell in love with Jay, NY, drawn to its beauty, skiing, and peaceful nature. I wanted to share that magic by creating a space where guests can truly relax, unwind, and reconnect.

When my husband and I bought this cabin, we renovated it with our own hands—thoughtfully enhancing comfort while preserving its original charm. Every detail, from the cozy interiors to the ice barrel and meditation setup, is designed to offer a restorative experience.

What I love most about hosting is creating meaningful stays—helping guests feel at home, at peace, and inspired. It makes me happy when they say they’ve had the best sleep, discovered a favorite new trail, or finally found a moment to breathe. For me, hosting isn’t just about providing a place to stay—it’s about delivering the perfect memory.

Our ADK Forest Cabin sits in the heart of AuSable Acres, a peaceful forested community designed for those who seek both serenity and adventure. Established in the 1960s by John Eaton, AuSable Acres was envisioned as a nature retreat, with private trails, a tranquil lake, and a strong sense of community. Today, it remains a hidden gem in the Adirondacks, where visitors can escape the rush of daily life and reconnect with nature.

Staying here means more than just enjoying a cozy retreat—it means becoming part of a community that values the great outdoors, relaxation, and shared experiences. Whether you're walking along the wooded trails, fishing at Lake Eaton, or simply waving to friendly neighbors, you'll feel the welcoming spirit that defines AuSable Acres.

Beyond our peaceful corner, history unfolds in the nearby town of Lake Placid, a place of Olympic triumphs and outdoor adventure. Home to both the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics, Lake Placid's legacy is most famous for the “Miracle on Ice”, when the underdog U.S. hockey team shocked the world by defeating the Soviet Union. Today, you can skate on the same historic rink, visit the Olympic Ski Jump Complex, or ride a bobsled on a professional track.

Towering nearby is Whiteface Mountain, known for its world-class skiing and breathtaking summit views. In 1935, Franklin D. Roosevelt led the creation of the Whiteface Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway, allowing visitors to drive up to panoramic views stretching across the Adirondacks, Vermont, and even Canada. Whiteface also played a major role in the 1980 Winter Olympics, hosting all alpine ski events and further cementing its place in winter sports history.

By staying in AuSable Acres, you’re not just booking a cabin—you’re stepping into a rich history of community, adventure, and timeless natural beauty. Whether you're hiking, skiing, or simply unwinding by the fire pit under the stars, every moment here is part of a greater story—one that you’ll help write.

Our cabin is designed around the core concept of wellness and reset. From the moment you walk in, you can leave behind the noise of everyday life and fully immerse yourself in the present—whether it’s with yourself, a loved one, or friends and family.

Nestled in nature, the cabin invites you to unwind and get lost in the moment. The warmth of the space, the stillness of the surroundings, and the carefully curated amenities create an atmosphere where you can truly reset. Soak in the hot tub under the stars, refresh with an ice barrel plunge, sip tea by the fire, or simply breathe in the mountain air.

We’ve thought of everything to make your stay as effortless and comfortable as possible, so all you have to do is sink into relaxation. Whether it’s a romantic getaway, a friends’ retreat, or a family escape, our cabin offers the perfect place to slow down, reconnect, and experience pure presence in nature.
