Cabin Description:

The High Peaks of the Adirondacks, known for wild, untamed beauty. Home to New York state's tallest mountains as well as this historic 19th century Ice House. Sitting snug on 980 acres (!!!) this cabin is everything and so much more. A year round dream location offering seemingly endless outdoor exploration and undisturbed hiking, biking, skiing, picnicking, etc. One trip might not even scratch the surface of fun that can be had. Now let us head in shall we? Not before admiring the exterior. I find it very handsome with stone and dark wood shingles. I daydream about how it was built and who it was built by; it served an immense purpose in storing ice for the cold storage at the neighboring Wellscroft estate. You’ll have a hard time imagining that once you’ve stepped inside. The interior is so warm and cozy! A vibe so immaculate you will melt in and if it weren’t for check out you might never be seen again. Thoughtfully designed for comfort and function with an open floor plan and well equipped kitchen. The owners have struck a sublime balance of new and old so you can enjoy the atmosphere of a 19th century space with the modern amenities that we cannot live without.

While You're There:

Before heading up be sure to grab coffee and breakfast at the Adirondack Mountain Coffee and for dinner definitely check out the Ice Jam Inn (we loved the fish and chips!)

Great For:

Families or small groups.
