This hand built cabin is situated privately on 50 acres of pine woods in the Adirondack foothills. From cutting down the trees, to making the logs on our sawmill and picking up our hammer, we lovingly hand-crafted it. The cabin features a hot rainwater shower and sink; solar electricity for the lights, and a wood-burning stove. You'll find a propane cook stove inside and a barbecue grill (propane) outside. Named Mountain Laurel, the cabin is situated at the top of a hill, with beautiful shade trees, cool breezes and a great view of the pine woods. It features a queen size bed in the main living area and a full size bed in the loft. A dining area is on the main floor along with a wood burning stove with a screen that can function as a fireplace. Experience cool breezes all summer long on the full-size porch. The catwalk off the loft leads you to a balcony with a beautiful ten-mile view. The shower room is located under the cabin on ground floor level. A very neat and clean "glorified" outhouse is located in a separate building a few yards from the cabin. If you are looking for a cabin with an indoor bathroom, please check out our Lion's Den cabin HA 9143513. We are located close to access points for ATV and Snowmobile trails. Numerous lakes are a short drive away for kayaking, canoeing, swimming and fishing in the summer. In the winter, enjoy cross-country skiing, snow shoeing, hiking and snowmobiling. Snow Ridge, which boasts the first snow of the season, is thirty minutes away. We request reservations to be made at least 48 hours in advance of arrival date. Come and enjoy our back-to-nature cabin in our quiet pine woods.

This cabin is perfect for leisure time. It's super cozy, especially with a fire going on. My friends and I had an excellent stay talking, playing cardboard games and cooking while not being disturbed by our phones and other technology. I recommend this place if you're looking for a quiet place to stay :)
Many great things.. relaxing and peaceful. We enjoyed escaping to the warmth of a wood stove during a winter storm, exploring on our atv and enjoying the beautiful surroundings
Our family honestly needed space to get away from the outside world and technology this spot was the perfect place to disconnect. Our favorite amenity was probably the swing if we had to choose. We absolutely adore the cabin and the opportunity to unwind.
It was a treat to stay at Richard's place and to get to chat with him a bit. The cabin is as described and even more comfortable than I imagined. The bathroom and camp kitchen were both well-appointed, and the rainwater shower was wonderful. I spent hours watching birds at the feeder outside the big window at the dining table :) I look forward to returning again the future with my dogs for more peaceful time among the treetops.
Beautiful cabin lovely scenery we had such an enjoyable time. The host explained everything. We had a lot of questions before going and they responded quickly. A very unique place to stay. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Little House on the Prarie
I fell coming down the stairway that did not have any hand railing or stairway treads. It was a gorgeous log cabin but not appropriate for 60 year old people. I felt like we were on Little House on the Prarie..Outhouse, no running water, hardly any electricity. i loved the fireplace and the bed was comfortable. We left a day early because of my injury with as of this day, November 14, 2024 I still have pain.
The smell of woodsmoke from the wood stove permitted the cabin, but overall clean and kept up. Didn’t do well with the outhouse. Did enjoy our quiet time and the animals.
Cabin was adorable, perfect size for the two of us and the dog. Loved all the personal touches in the cabin and thrilled to have had a hot shower! Great paths through the woods to get out on a little walk, we all can’t wait to go back!
Mt. Laurel is a peaceful and beautiful cabin to relax and restore your energy!
Ricky was amazing at communicating with all our needs.
The property is super clean and really well kept!
We are looking forward to coming back in the fall,
We loved the location and set up of everything. It was a great time away from the city. Everything was clean and instructions were clear and easy to follow. Thank you, and until next time!

Beautiful
Loved staying here, the owners were super accommodating and friendly! We were worried about it being too cold given that we were staying in the winter, but the wood stove kept us and our pups comfortable all night. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who loves the outdoors (and has dogs!)
Thank you, Rick and Maria, for creating a beautiful cabin in the woods. It was so peaceful and quiet. We loved every little thoughtful detail you have made and added to the cabin and property. The solar power and rainwater was such a cool experience. It was a wonderful time! You are two truly amazing people!
This spot was excellent and had wonderful scenery, decor, accommodations, and was well maintained. Only downsides were minor (we thought car chargers meant usb outlets but we realized it did not, and the sand can be very difficult to walk up)
We enjoyed our stay, as usual, at the beautiful cabin property. We took a walk on the trails and picked blackberries, we didn't see any blueberries. We had a bonfire. My son loved the swing. We had a great getaway.
The cabin was an absolute joy! Lots of windows with great views, a fabulous swing just outside your door, and an outdoor shower (to name a few amenities)!
We had an incredible time and we’re fortunate enough to meet the host. What a great job with the construction of this cabin- lots of love and attention to detail.
I hope everyone who stays has as great a time as we did!

Wonderful Getaway!
We loved this place ! We called it our pioneer vacation mainly because it was cold when we went and we really enjoyed warming up to wood stove at night . We ventured all around the area to see the leaves and even made our way to old forge to visit some of favorite spots . This was such a peaceful place to get away to. Thank you for sharing it with us !

About the host
Hosted by Rick and Maria Bohlman
After building tree forts in the woods behind his house as a young boy, my husband Rick decided one day he would build his own cabin. Mountain Laurel is the result of this dream. Hand built from the trees on the property, the cabin is situated privately on 50 acres of pine woods.
Why they chose this property
We loved this property as soon as we saw it. The sweet smell of pine greets you and the soft moss on the ground makes hiking on the property ideal.
What makes this property unique
Situated privately on fifty acres of pine woods, with your own spot of peaceful quiet, the cabin is unique. From the porch you can sip tea or coffee and listen to the birds greet the morning. From the balcony, you can see for ten miles. If it's a quiet get-away you're looking for, you've found it!
