The Guides House • Cozy Main St Stay with Porch Views
Welcome to The Guides House, a cozy Adirondack retreat located right on Main Street — the perfect spot to soak in small-town charm while being close to everything.
Relax on the covered front porch, where comfy seating makes it easy to sip your coffee, fire up the propane grill, and watch the world go by — people, cars, and the energy of town right at your doorstep.
Inside, the home is warm and inviting with all linens, towels, and essentials provided. The kitchen is stocked for easy meals, and the living spaces are set up for comfort after a day of exploring. Upstairs you’ll find the bedrooms and the single full bathroom (please note: the only bathroom is upstairs).
Out back, enjoy a modest yard perfect for a little fresh air, and take advantage of off-street parking for two vehicles — a rare convenience right on Main Street.
What Guests Love
• The best porch in town for people-watching and relaxing
• Prime Main Street location with shops and restaurants nearby
• Off-street parking (2 vehicles)
• Cozy Adirondack style with everything you need ready to go

Whether you’re here for outdoor adventure or a quiet weekend away, The Guides House makes a perfect home base to enjoy the Adirondacks.
During the winter months, this home is a short drive from McCauley Ski Mountain and perfect for those looking to come up and enjoy our winter wonderland!

About the host
Hosted by Jason Perkins
Hi, I’m Jason — born and raised right here in the Adirondacks. My family and I have deep roots in this community, and I love welcoming guests so they can experience the same mountains, lakes, and small-town charm that make this place home.
Hospitality has always been second nature to me — I manage several properties in the area and take pride in making each stay smooth, clean, and comfortable. You’ll always find the house well-stocked with linens and essentials, and I’m only a call away if you need recommendations or help during your stay.
When I’m not working on the rentals, I’m usually with my kids, out on the lake, or lending a hand around town. Hosting is more than just business for me — it’s about helping people feel welcome and making sure they leave with great memories of their time in the Adirondacks.
I look forward to hosting you at The Guides House — and I’ll do everything I can to make sure your stay feels easy, cozy, and connected to this special place.

Why they chose this property
I chose this spot because Main Street is the heart of the Adirondacks — it’s where the town comes alive. From the covered porch you can sip coffee in the morning and watch the world go by, then walk to shops, restaurants, and events without ever getting in the car. At the same time, you’re only minutes from lakes, trails, and all the outdoor adventures that make this area so special. As someone who grew up here with my family, I love being able to share that perfect mix of small-town charm and Adirondack wilderness right outside the door.
What makes this property unique
The Guides House isn’t just a rental — it’s a piece of Main Street life. Guests love the cozy seating on the front porch for people-watching, grilling, or just relaxing after a day outdoors. Unlike many spots in town, you’ll have the convenience of off-street parking for two cars and a modest yard both front and back. The house is stocked with all linens and essentials so you can just settle in and enjoy. It’s a true Adirondack experience: simple, comfortable, and welcoming, with a touch of local history and family care behind it.
