An authentic old Adirondack cabin with dutch doors and casement windows, Deep Woods Cabin is 2 miles from Whiteface Mountain, and has four bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a breezy and bug-free wrap-around screened-in porch, a stone fireplace, an outside campfire and barbecue, an eat-in kitchen with a cozy old-fashioned wood stove (as well as a modern range), linens, cooking and eating utensils, Cable TV and DVD, high speed DSL internet access, and a washer-dryer. Seasonal chills are kept out with monitor heat. All you need to bring with you are clothes, food and fishing poles.

Children can lay out their sleeping bags on the screened-in porch, and thrill to the nightly concert of song birds, accompanied by light shows of fireflies, and the spooky calls of owls, bobcats and other woodlands critters. The seasonal stream that helps drain Quaker Mountain babbles through the property in front of the cabin, drawing wildlife and providing a great place for the kids to find frogs and salamanders. The guest creature check list at Deep Woods Cabin includes Fox, Black Bear, Moose, Bobcat, Great Horned Owl, Hummingbirds and Pileated Woodpeckers, the large woodpeckers “Woody Woodpecker” was modeled on. You can walk your dog through the trail system behind the cabin.

Guests have full access to facilities at the Adirondack Wildlife Refuge and Rehabilitation Center, which include a hot tub with changing room, log cabin sauna, canoes & kayaks for use on the West Branch of the Ausable and Lake Everest, and a dock for fishing and swimming. The Refuge's 60 acres includes a guided, mile-long nature trail through a birch and conifer forest for anglers and light duty hikers. The trail is child-friendly, and a great place to walk your dog or look for local wildlife. In addition, the Refuge features our resident pet wolf, Cree, as well as whatever injured birds of prey are in residence at any given time. You can hike, bike or drive to Ausable Lodge, which is less than a half mile from Deep Woods Cabin.

More serious hikers are within easy range of High Peaks Trails, and the high peaks towns of Wilmington, Jay and Lake Placid offer nightly summer activities for young and old alike, everything from plays, concerts and art exhibits to fireworks and blue-grass/ rock and country bands under the stars. Deep Woods Cabin is  open all year round, renting in July and August, from Saturday-to-Saturday, while there will continue to be a three night minimum stay the rest of the year.
