I loved everything about this place . It’s right on the water and very private . I spent my time fishing and listening to the sounds of the lake in the screened in porch. I was able to unwind and forget about the chaos of work life for a few days. I hope to return one day.

Cozy, rustic cabin with a dock on the lake. It was very quiet and peaceful. Great screened-in porch to have your coffee and breakfast in while looking out at the lake or listening to the loons. 3 of us slept comfortably in the upstairs loft and there was a curtain to separate the space in half. It's not a large cabin, but there were enough chairs and between the dock, the porch and the cabin we were even able to accommodate 7 or 8 visitors. Water was warm and great for swimming. Bring whatever food and supplies you will need, because it's a long drive to a supermarket or store. Kitchen was stocked with dishes, silverware, pots, pans, utensils, coffee maker and grinder. No problem with mice, but we never left food out. Very memorable stay!

quiet and relaxing great location on the lake will be going back

Had a great stay in October. Cabin stayed warm and cozy for us Floridians which was a major concern. View was great and the front porch was where we ate all our meals looking out at the lake. Exactly what I wanted. The cabin's aesthetic is very cranberry lake nostalgia from my childhood visits to the area. Owner is transparent about things to watch out for or what to bring with you and is very responsive. Would definitely stay there again and for us it's perfect size for just two people as we are large persons. Bathroom was larger than expected which was a huge relief as we have been in some tight spots before with vrbo. Kitchen was stocked well with most anything you'd need.

Great place to stay if you are on a budget. Don is a great host and was very helpful and Cranberry Lake is beautiful! Thanks Don!

Perfect location, loved the proximity to the lake! Great back porch and a nice breeze on this point of land. We love Cranberry Lake and have stayed at numerous properties, this quickly became one of our favorites! Be sure to bring locking tubs for your food, there are 4 legged critters.... Would definitely rent again!

My husband and I both had a wonderful time here at the Cranberry Lake House. The house is comfy and quiet. Central to hiking, fishing,, swimming or just relaxing on the dock.. While sitting on the dock we had a front row seat for our own personal sun rise. Fantastic!!!

We rented this little cabin for a long weekend with mediocre expectations, but were thoroughly pleased with the gatehouse. This little place is a gem of the adirondacks. It’s very easy to find, the nearby boat launch is easy to use, and the sturdy little dock even has the address on it. Everything is clearly labeled inside and out, so there is no confusion. The upstairs loft has recently been doubled in size, and real stairs have been installed. The screened in porch at the waters edge is a slice of heaven, took quite a few naps out there. Overall, for up to 4 people, I highly recommend this cabin.

I love the outdoors, camping, kayaking and fishing. I even own a hunting camp in the woods. I’m use to roughing it , using outhouses, campers, tents etc. The Gatehouse has a perfect location and offers everything a person basically needs to stay, cook and bathe. The reason for only two stars unfortunately is due to the mice and spiders and overall less than clean feeling everywhere inside the camp. We left a night early because I just couldn’t face another sleepless night due to the rodent traffic, digging, climbing and chewing so I decided the 5 1/2 hour drive home was a better option. I found mouse poison bait blocks and set them out and watched as the mice literally carried them away off of the kitchen counter, stove, table etc. the toaster was full of mouse poop also and the coffee pot didn’t look like it has ever been cleaned. I started scrubbing it then realized it’s not my job to do that. I killed several spiders throughout the place. My skin just crawled from it. I live in the country and I get an occasional mouse and spiders here and there too but this was excessive in my opinion. Loved the location and the dock but the rest... not so much. This was my son and my first trip to the Adirondacks so it was a little disappointing cutting it short but I needed some sleep.

While small, it is a nice place, with nice screen porch about ten feet from the water and a nice dock. Nice little sand beach that was perfect for launching our kayeaks.

We enjoyed our stay at the gatehouse. It is a true adirondack style camp. Not fancy but with all the comforts of home. The loft stairs are a little scary, but the owner has plans to replace them. When the new stairs are there, I will give it a 5 star rating. The best part is being able to sit on that screened in porch and watch the lake and listen to the loons. Its got a good dock for swimming and place to park all kinds of boats. Cranberry lake is a very special place.

This place really was in a prime location, and the little bitty beach it had was wonderful for kayaks and getting in and out of the water in general. I was torn between 3 and 4 stars. The location was 4 stars for sure, but the inside probably a 3. Waterfront porch was excellent, and so close to the water it was just wonderful! The dock was very nice, and steady...very good condition. The lot is level and that is just wonderful as many areas on that lake can be very steep getting in or out. The home is very cute, and perfect for a getaway, but it’s too cluttered for its small size...for me anyway. And the stairs to the loft...yikes, they are attic stairs, you know the rickety ones in your house you pull down from the ceiling that you hate going up a few times a year. It says no kids up there, but that is really the only people who can climb up and down those repeatedly. But once you get up there it’s a great little space. I think my main advice for this place is Less is More. There was weird placement of the bed downstairs because of a random china cabinet and other pieces. You literally walked into the bed when you came in the main door. Bathroom was good, but they should spring for a $20 shower head...the one in there spits water and it takes a while to get shampoo out of your hair. We never ran out of hot water which was great. I'd suggest bringing you own blankets, it can get chilly and it's nice to cuddle up to a nice clean blanket.

The property is a perfect set up for the fishing vacation. I really enjoyed my stay there and confidently can recommend it.
