About this cottage rental

Unwind in the newly built Covered Bridge Cottage beside the Ausable River in Jay, NY. The property is cradled between the mountains of Jay and the beautiful vineyard and gardens of the property. You will be immersed in this secluded yet central experience, which is sure to restore the soul. The gentle rumble of the river is ever present as you relax in the cottage looking out over our 3 acres of natural beauty at distant views. During summer book the cottage with the glamping tent for a truly unique experience. Please reach out if you via message if you are interested in this option.



The space- Our 3 acre riverfront property has the option for three separate rentals during the summer and two rentals in winter (2 people per rental). During summer we offer The Glamping Tent at the Jay Covered Bridge and the Jay Covered Bridge Retreat in addition to the Covered Bridge Cottage. During the winter we offer the Covered Bridge Retreat in our main house in addition to the Covered Bridge Cabin. Please send us a message if you are also interested in these.

We are directly on Rt 9n, perfect access for biking the iron man course, or enjoying the Jay green and its musical treats. Whiteface and Keene are 10 minutes away, while Lake Placid is 20 minutes.


Parking/Access: The parking area is in front of our main house. A 150 foot gravel pathway leads you to the seclusion of the cottage. There is one step up onto the porch.

Cottage: The cottage has a large and well appointed kitchen with an open dining and living area. The house has two porches, a covered porch facing the river and traditional porch facing the vineyard looking down valley across the vineyard. The cozy bedroom has a queen bed, and closet with washer and dryer. The bathroom has heated floors and a beautifully tiled shower.

Surrounding Environment: A short 100 foot walk brings you to the peaceful private picnic area by the side of the Ausable River with a birds eye view down valley of the covered bridge and its cascading falls, or simply admire it from either porch.

Guest access- The outside lawn, riverside and garden areas of the property are shared with our other listings.

Other things to note:
Important- The cottage has two bathrooms within the building envelope. One bathroom has an external entrance and is dedicated to the glamping tent. This is sound insulated from the cottage and we ask our tent guests to respect quiet hours when using it.

My wife and I chose this property/accommodation based on the photos we saw on vrbo. Suffice to say that when we got there, the photos did not do any justice to what we saw/experienced. It was absolutely beautiful. The setting was better than we expected and the Ausable river at the foot of the property was an absolute gem. We spent pretty much every afternoon having a coffee by the river at the picnic table after our daily hikes in the many awesome mountain trails which were not too far at all from where we stayed. The location was perfect for day trips to the various sites of the Adirondacks. The property was peaceful day and night, no loud noises/music of any kind (apart from the wildlife we heard one night for a few minutes). Oh, and our hosts Caleb and Eleri were absolutely great, easy to reach and answered any questions we had and gave us great advice on the various surrounding attractions. The cottage itself was very comfortable and had everything we needed (the screened 'outdoor' room was great). If you want to explore the Adirondacks, this would be the place to stay. We highly recommend it.

The cottage is simply lovely. Caleb and Eleri are excellent hosts. It is just really special

This was a great stay for my wife, 1 year, and me. There's so much to do in the area if you enjoy the outdoors, or just need a quiet getaway. Caleb was very helpful with anything that we needed and advice on what to do with a bust baby when it rained and all we had planned was outdoor activities. The washer and dryer were great ammenities to have, and the gardens were fun to look at. The proximity to the E. branch of the Ausable was great, especially being so close to a historic landmark in the covered bridge. 10/10 would recommend and stay again. We were only sorry we didn't have more time to be there.

Caleb’s cottage and grounds are beautiful. The cottage is newly renovated and the gardens and location on the river are outstanding. However these great qualities are hindered by the glampers bathroom that is attached to the cottage and is located right next to the cottage bedroom. At all hours of the day and night the campers shower and bang around in the bathroom.
