About this property

Adirondack Log Cabin Retreat

The Adirondacks offer plenty of great outdoor year round activities.

Winter:

Unload your snowmobile and just go. The New York State Trail System actually crosses over the back part of Krahula Acres! More of a skiier, Oak Mountain is a short 15 minute drive from Wells and offers downhill skiing for all skill levels. Don't know how to ski , they also offer snow tubing! Looking for more challenging trails, we are a 35 minute drive from Gore Mountain, One of New York's premier ski resorts.
The area also provides a wide array of Cross Country Skiing. It's a 25 minute drive to the Lapland Lake Nordic Ski Center. If you want to stay a little closer to home base, frozen Lake Algonquin is perfect for cross country skiing and is just a short walk from the cabin.

Summer:
With the warm weather comes swimming, hiking, fishing, boating, kayaking, etc... We are a short walk from Lake Algonquin. Take a walk to the beach and get some sun. The Adirondack State Park offers hiking for all skill levels.. We are just a 5 minute drive from Auger Falls. An easy trail with a big payoff. Looking for a hike with a view, climb one of the many mountains marked by the New York State Park.

While at Krahula Acres, you will have access to the 3 bedroom, 1 bath, log cabin.

Upon entering the property, you'll notice a large wrap around porch with a propane grill, picnic table, swing, and Adirondack chairs. The perfect spot for a lazy afternoon.

Inside the cabin we provide:
Smart TV and DVD player (No cable)
Blankets, linens, and towels
Well equipped kitchen
Oven/Stove
Microwave
Toaster
Blender

One of the upstairs bedrooms is furnished with 2 full size beds. Perfect for the kids. The other bedrooms are furnished with one full size bed a piece. Feel free to spread out or bunk up! There is also a fold away twin bed if you need room for one more.

Out back there is a fire pit for roasting marshmallows and building s'mores.

The yard is open and provides a great place to lay on your back and take in the stars.

We provide fresh towels and linens.

A Wonderful Place to Get Away

Although I did not meet the Host in person, he was graciously hospitable via messages. My guest list was not finalized until I was actually there.The host was flexible with me at every communicaton. The cabin was very welcoming! All ammenities were exactly or better than as stated. We all spent time on the lovely wrap around porch! I hope to get back there again next year!

Perfect getaway

First of all, I have to say that the pictures do NOT do the cabin justice! There is so much space that my 11 and 14 year old daughters hardly faught at all! We were stranded for the half of our week due to having to have our vehicle towed to Amsterdam. The beach was a short little walk (bicycle ride) from the cabin, as was The Wells Edge. We are already talking about a return in the next year or 2 so we can explore the area further. We did get a chance to go to Great Sacandaga Lake and to Moffitt Beach in addition to the Wells town beach several times. The people of Wells were so incredibly kinda in my week of crisis, it was like a Hallmark movie.

House is great! Everything we needed was there, pots, pans, dishes, towels. The covered porch is an amazing feature especially on those rainy Adirondack days! This is the 2nd time we stayed here.

Charming mountain home

We had a wonderful week in the Adirondacks. Great location, easy access to many beautiful spots. Several nice restaurants in the area too. Loved the wrap around porch, we spent lots of time there. The kitchen appliances are a bit dated, but the kitchen is well equipped. Bathroom is small for 5 of us, but shower has good water pressure. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. I would highly recommend, great space for a family vacation.

Fun winter getaway

Matt and his home are very welcoming! Matt helped with every question in a timely manner. The house was as advertised, cozy and comfortable. The outlets varied as to working or not but not a big deal. Kitchen was well equipped. We only had 4 people and living space was very comfortable for us but if we had the max number of peeps for sleeping the hangout space would have been tight! Sled trail is right outside the door which was awesome for us! Lakes galore!! We are hoping to come back in the summer for some kayaking!!

Cozy Cabin

We had a little issue with the lockbox initially, but finally managed it. The beds were very comfortable and while there wasn’t air conditioning, there were fans in every room. The kitchen could use some more cooking utensils, otherwise it was adequately supplied. The front porch and giant log bench was my favorite spot for coffee in the morning. It was the perfect location to all the activities we were there to do.

Great place!

We had a great time here! The house had everything we needed for our stay. The location to the private beach, local store and attractions is great! Matt was very responsive with all the questions and last minute changes we (almost!) needed. My only suggestion is a bigger coffee pot! Lol! Thank you Matt!

Nice, quiet and clean

This was a great house to rent, even though the location is on a fairly main road, it is exceptionally quiet in this area. I really don’t have any negatives aside from little to no cell service but that is not under the owners control. WiFi is available there and bridged the gap with the minimal cell service while at the property. I would definitely rent here again.

A nice place to stay.

The house is great. It has everything you need. The deck is a cool place to hang out. And it is only a .5 mile walk to the beach which is wonderful. The only draw back was no a/c upstairs. I am sure ten months of the year that is fine and in the evenings all you have to do is open the windows and everything cools off. But you have to wake up early and close them to try to keep the heat out and you do not want to be up there during the day. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would recommend it to others. Matt, the owner is also very nice and helpful. He answered all my questions quickly.

Adirondack hunting trip

This home was everything we needed for our trip to the Adirondacks. The house was clean and comfortable and in a perfect location. There were devastating rains that took out some of the roads during the week prior to us coming up to the area and the owner kept as well informed of the progress being made with road repairs. We will definitely book this property again in the future.

Relaxing weekend

I really enjoyed this property. The front porch is AMAZING and we spent a lot of time out there. The house had everything we needed and the mattresses are SO comfortable. The check in/out process is easy as well. Close to Speculator where we had to go for a wedding. Great location for a little getaway.
