Ski-in/Ski-out holiday rentals in Essex County

This was an excellent “get away from it all” experience. I gave a 4/5 in the cleanliness category only because it’s a cabin in the woods. All in all the cabin is clean, but I wouldn’t want to mislead anyone. You will have a few 8 legged party crashers on occasion. There is no AC so if you’re one that can’t do without, this may not be for you. We had a good week of cooler nights so we didn’t mind. Garbage has to be taken to the dump at a minimal cost, but they aren’t open every day. Plan your trips wisely. Charles is great and communication was easy. He does everything he can to make your stay perfect. The vast amount of activities that he provides is amazing. My favorite was paddling in the canoe and the hikes. Cell service is touch and go but who cares? We traveled with two teenagers that now know what “unplugged” and appreciation for the outdoors really means. They swam, boated and fished the entire time. Would highly recommend checking it out for yourself.

This house was Huge!, clean, multiple sinks, bathrooms. My favorite part was the MASSIVE kitchen! Not to mention the grill and Blackstone outside on the porch. Any cooking utensils that you might need they had it. tops grocery store was just 10 min away. It was very private, secluded. the crisp night adirondack are while you slept was perfect. The fire pit outside and wood provided was a nice bonus, not to mention the graciously left stuff for smores in the fridge. everybody loved it and not 1 complaint. We can't wait to go back and definitely will! reccomend 100000%

Thanks for sharing your home! It’s a peaceful and relaxing getaway, but also only a short drive to Lake Placid restaurant and shops. A very well stocked kitchen for those who enjoy cooking at home.

I stand by my review. The location was great, literally across the street from the arena. We walked everywhere we wanted to go. Loved our stay

Great place to stay all in all. Christopher could work on a few things to make the stay easier for guests but this is a great spot and we loved the quiet and the privacy.

Awesome spot, friendly people, right across from the mountain

If your planning on doing any group activity in the high peaks area, this is the spot to stay. Located right off the main trail head to Algonquin and Marcy peaks. Place was cozy, clean, and much larger than I originally expected. Great experience all around.

we had a great stay. loved the beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Megan was very welcoming and a great host. Will definately stay here again!

Picture perfect stay! The cabin is “as-advertised” base on the photos and description. The location is quiet and serene. Majorie was super kind and helpful. She was available for our needs all time throughout the day. Highly recommend taking a canoe out on the lake and going for a swim across from the property. An easy 15 min paddle across will take you to some nice rock outcroppings with crystal clear water for a nice evening dip. Town is a short 10 min right for one night out for a good meal. Def recommend staying on this property!

Ted was the perfect host, being present, available, and responsive - I felt sure that IF we needed anything he would have been there to help out. The cabin is perfect for a little get-away. The ping pong table in the basement was an added bonus for a little family tournament. The location is peaceful - we didn't walk the grounds, but hope to be back to do so another time - and close to the town/shops/ski hill/etc. So much to do in the area! Thanks Ted!

We loved the beautiful setting and the waterfront access. This location has everything you need to escape city life and really enjoy nature and the real quiet of nature.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. You feel so connected to the outdoors. Great for hiking and coming back to a peaceful place to relax.

Lovely, cosy cabin just outside of Lake Placid. Perfect for a couple days of hiking in the beautiful Adirondack mountains. Accommodation was just as described and the host was very proactive. Couldn't have asked for a better base for our lovely weekend.

Great location and what we needed after a day of hiking. Would book again.

This was my second year booking this property and I was very happy with my stay. Host is easy to reach with questions, and the house is warm and comfortable. Thanks again, see you next year

We had a wonderful time at 3 Birches. I hope to return! We enjoyed so many local hikes, as well as walking on the nearby trail and kayaking. The house was so comfortable, and the neighborhood quiet except for the birds. Thanks!

This is an absolute gem among the woods and water. Peaceful is an understatement and serene doesn't quite do it justice. It's a place to step back, slow down and unplug from all your cares, worries and realities. You'll get the basic necessities and the time to unwind and relax. This is a well placed, well thought of and we'll out of the way home away from home. But in it's tranquility you'll not be far from the everyday needs of everyday life as town is a quick drive over the mountain. I highly recommend the Cochran cabins for a peaceful escape from your everyday life.

The host is wonderful and warm. The cabin does offer true feel of Adirondack vintage cabin that has added a kitchen and bathroom. I would go back again.

Our stay at this cabin was nothing short of magical! Meghan was an incredible host—she responded quickly and was so helpful with all of our questions before the trip. The cabin itself was stunning and perfectly located for easy drives to places like Lake Placid. Pictures do not do it justice. The property was breathtaking, with trails leading to creeks and ponds right on site. It felt like we had our own little nature escape. One of the loveliest touches was the handmade shampoos, conditioners, and bath gel—they smelled amazing and added such a personal feel to the experience. As a family of five from Miami, seeing snowfall was such a treat! The views were absolutely unbelievable, and even with the snow, the roads were always cleared, making travel stress-free. The playroom downstairs was a hit with our family—pool, TV, and a cozy space to gather and unwind. Plus, the beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring we all got a great night's sleep. This place is an easy 100/10.

Perfect spot to enjoy everything the area had to offer. Walking distance to restaurants & beautiful mountain and lake views. Hosts had great recommendations for local spots!
