About this cabin rental

The Dakotais a new, modern, four-season, log-sided cabin on Lake Algonquin in the southern Adirondack mountains. The Yogi and the Dakota were built in 2016 by David and Jennifer Woodward of Wells, NY. The cabins were named after their two dogs they raised for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. My Wife Crystal and I have been guests at both cabins many times throughout the years. David and Jennifer were always the most gracious of hosts which made the experience that much more special. In 2022 Crystal and I became the new owners of the cabins. We could not be more thrilled to be able to continue to enjoy the cabins and to have the opportunity to share them the with our guests. We are a family friendly property requiring guests to be a minimum age 25 unless accompanied by a guardian. Dogs are welcome with prior approval. In the spring, summer, and fall, enjoy canoeing, kayaking and fishing using our canoe and kayaks. Paddle up the Sacandaga River or over to Lake Algonquin directly from our property . Our boats are available based on spring and fall weather. Boats are always available from May 15th to October 1st. Our grill is charcoal, just bring your charcoal and lighter fluid and enjoy outdoor cooking! - or just sit back and enjoy the wilderness that is the North Country. Behind the cabin is a large flat area for activities and a fire pit for s'mores and relaxing in the evenings. On a clear night, the stars are amazing! It's a short walk or drive to the town beach, where you can swim or soak up the sun. Or, explore the many hiking trails in the area, leading up mountains, to waterfalls, or into the solitude of the forest. In the fall, the leaves are spectacular! There are many beautiful scenic byways you can drive right from our doorstep. In the winter, enjoy skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, tubing, ice skating and snowmobiling. Hamilton County has some of the best Snowmobiling in NY. Our cabin is directly on the NYS trail system with access to hundreds of miles of groomed, marked snowmobile trails. We also have plenty of parking for your snowmobile trailer. The first floor features a living room with a leather sectional sofa and a 42"flat-screen television with DIRECTV and a DVD player. The dining room includes seating for six. There is a modern kitchen with a stainless electric stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave oven and coffee-maker. The downstairs bedroom has a queen-sized bed. The bathroom has a bathtub and a washer and dryer. There is a screened porch out the back door, and a full open covered porch out front. The second floor includes a full bathroom with a shower. The upstairs bedroom has a full-sized bed and twin bunks tucked into an alcove, and a 32" flat-screen television with DIRECTV and a DVD player. There is W-Fi with high speed internet and a land-line telephone. The cabin is equipped with central heating and air-conditioning. The cabin is conveniently located on NYS Route 30 and is set back 350 feet from the road, down a paved driveway with a 65' X 105' paved parking area. We are located 3 hours and 45 minutes from New York City, 4 hours from Boston, 3 hours from Montreal and 90 minutes from Albany. Dogs only with approval by owner.

Beautiful cabin in quiet area. Was looking to snowmobile but mother nature didnt corroborate. Ended up snowshoeing to mountains, moxham and casacde. Had a fun night in speculator for the anual burning of the Christmas trees. Would definitely come back it i get a chance. Thanks again

We loved our stay at the Dakota. It snowed unexpectedly on our second day and as soon as it stopped, we were delighted that the owner had the entire driveway plowed for us! The kitchen is especially well furnished and we had everything that we needed for a lovely weekend away!

Communication with host was great. John was very responsive. The cabin was easy to find. Parking is open and spacious. It’s super cute! Decorated nicely. We loved the fire pit out back as well as the enclosed porch. Interior was roomy, perfect for 2-4 adults. Both my husband and I thought the mattress and couch weren’t super comfortable. The shower tub was also pretty small.

The stay was great, we hiked all day and used the cabin for sleep and fires at night! Our two dogs loved the cabin and the toys that were left for them. I thought the dock was honestly closer than described and that our dogs would have decent access to swim but did not! It was also very close to another cabin which had 3 large dogs which was very hard with limited privacy due to lattice fencing! But overall since we did not stay all day at the cabin it was great!

We’ve stayed at this property several times and it doesn’t disappoint. The owners are very easy to work with and provide a digital guidebook that’s really helpful for planning your stay & the check-in / check-out process. The house is in Wells but you’re only a short drive to Speculator or Northville that have good restaurants & shopping. We went for a weekend in September so the weather was starting to dip and was cloudy for most of the weekend, but there’s still plenty to do. Or if you choose to close by, then the house is a short walk from the lake and you can kayak or find a hiking trail that’s only minutes driving distance from the house. We absolutely love it up here and will stay again.

Very impressive stay. Love John. We recently had to put our little girl pug down and he was more then accommodating with us. Also showed so much empathy. Will definitely make our way back once we get a new furry family member.

We were so happy to see how beautiful the Dakota was. Very clean and updated. Had everything we needed and was dog friendly. The only thing we were disappointed in was we thought the water and kayaks were closer as my husband was planning on fishing from there. The picture online looked like there was water closer, or so it seemed. Otherwise, we were very happy with your property. Thank you!
