Breathtaking view! The sound of the river was so relaxing… Great attention to detail with a wealth of accoutrements from personal hygiene products to all the pertinent kitchen supplies for meal prep, cooking and storage for any left overs. We particularly enjoyed relaxing in the cozy loft after our evening bonfires. Book it!

Our stay was absolutely amazing. The cabin and views around the river are astonishing. We had plenty of snow during the week, which made for a gorgeous winter wonderland.Sue is very attentive to any needs that arise. We would be delighted to stay here again.I can’t say enough good about the cabin, location and the owner. I’m looking forward to our next trip already.

We had a wonderful stay at River Pines Cabin! The cabin was spotless, very spacious, and thoughtfully stocked with all the amenities you could possibly need. It was our family’s first winter trip with our 9- and 4-year-old, and the cabin was perfect—comfortable, cozy, and easy for traveling with kids. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax after winter adventures, and everything was well maintained and welcoming. We truly felt at home and would absolutely recommend River Pines Cabin to other families looking for a peaceful getaway in New York.

This was a very nice cabin that was functional with great qualities like an open kitchen/living space, a desk space so I could easily do a little work and a back porch with a view of the river. My wife and I enjoyed staying here.

Great place to enjoy the outdoors.

Private cabin tucked in the woods over-looking the river. Cabin was stocked with plenty of extra items and treats for the renters and their furry friends. I will/would stay at this place again. Next time, hopefully during trout season for some fly fishing. Dave/Lynn - Connecticut

River music all day and night. Lovely, super clean and extremely well stocked cabin in the woods. Great North Woods decor really makes you feel at home. Didn't need for anything. Had sunny skies for most of the week. Visited wife's Alma mata, St Lawrence University. Thanks for sharing your beautiful place.

Cozy cabin by the river

My family had a wonderful stay at the cabin on the river. The owners were very accommodating and responsive. Everything was clean, and every detail was so well thought out. Our dog Rudy had so much fun playing with the kids in the snow! The view and the sound of the river from the cabin were amazing! Thank you for an incredible stay! Lauren and Phil

The property is new and well appointed. The extras were much appreciated! The hosts have notes in and around the house pointing out complimentary toiletries, phone chargers, tv specifics etc., very helpful. The beds were very comfortable, the outside was very tidy with complimentary fire wood, chairs, bug spray and grilling tools! The view and sound of the river were so peaceful. Definitely go to Mary’s Dairy for frozen custard, it’s the best we’ve ever had.

Peaceful and pristine get away

Beautiful and peaceful location with the river right outside the back door (and a nice, easy-to-access path down to the river). The cabin is spotless with every need thoughtfully covered, and the location is private yet not isolated. We used the cabin as our home base to travel around the Adirondacks to our favorites spots from over the years, while also enjoying local. Quick trip to Old Forge, and Tupper Lake isn't far away either. Lake Placid area is ~2.5 hrs.

Amazing, relaxing, quiet get away

What a beautiful home on an awe inspiring location on the river. The house is very comfortable with a lot of little touches from the owner to really make you feel at home. The property was great, from the back porch overlooking the water, to the fire pit, and the trails leading down to the water. We checked out a few local attactions on the way to our stay with the intention of going out and exploring more each day we were there. However, we were so enthralled by the property we spent most days sitting by the fire listening to the river and playing with the dogs. We had a great, realxing, trip thanks to this house and property and all that the owners have done to make us feel welcome and comfortable.

Beautiful Cozy Cabin

We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and Valentine's Day. The cabin is gorgeous. The hosts were extremely friendly and very responsive. They've taken such great care all round to have everything you can possibly imagine for your stay. The property is beautiful and especially picturesque with all the snow surrounding it. We had a couple wintery evening fires and cooked on the grill. The cabin is so cozy and warm inside. The fireplace is beautiful. The furniture is all very comfortable. There are several decent places around to eat. The locals are all incredibly friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were able to relax and restore. Five star all round for this wonderful place.
