Keene Cozy Cottage in the Heart of the Adirondack Mountains!
Welcome to the Cozy Cottage in the Heart of the Adirondack Mountains! It's nice to go away and feel at home. The cottage features a knotty-pine living room with a large leather couch (not a pull-out sleeper). The well-equipped kitchen contains a full refrigerator/freezer, microwave, x-large toaster oven, toaster, coffee maker, glassware, silverware, plates, pots, pans, utensils, blender, crock pot, etc. The bathroom has a shower unit (no bathtub). The separate bedroom contains a queen-size bed with plenty of closet storage and dresser to unpack your suitcases, put everything away, relax, head out and enjoy. For your convenience, there is a compact washing machine, although small, to clean your clothes; plus electric clothes dryer.
When a reply is sent that the cottage is available, the website will automatically send you an email requesting payment of one-half of the total to be sent in advance to confirm the reservation. There will be a 48-hour hold on your requested dates to allow you time to complete details on your end. The one-half payment can be paid by credit card through this website. When the website sends a request for the one-half payment, you will notice a 'service fee' has been added to the quoted amount. This fee goes directly to the website. When I receive notice of your payment, I will send you an email to provide you with information regarding key retrieval, directions, etc.
Your well-behaved pet is welcome, but you will be responsible for clean-up and damage due to your pet. Out of courtesy to others, I prefer pets not be allowed on the couch or bed but understand they do this at home. I have a couch cover in the closet that can be placed on the couch so there will not be damage to the leather. If your dog enjoys sleeping on the bed, please place a sheet covering the bed. Also, please bring your pet's food/water bowls plus their bedding and a towel. There is a small back yard behind the cottage to walk your dog or the corner property is an empty, open space and you can let your dog enjoy this space. Please do not let your dog walk on neighboring properties.
The cottage is very well equipped and contains everything you need, other than your personal belongings and food/drink. There is a convenience store within walking distance which makes going out for forgotten or wanted items very easy without having to get back in the car & drive. There are several very good restaurants and shops either within walking distance or a short drive away. The scenery is beautiful.
You are welcome to have guests visit but no overnight stays.
Thank you for looking at this listing. I hope to hear from you.
P.S. Due to internet interruptions, if you email me and do not receive a reply within 24 hours, please give me a call and leave a message.

We were very happy w everything at the Cozy Cottage. Perfectly warm and comfortable place to return to after some cold January days in the mountains. And really appreciated the functional kitchen.
Such a lovely place and so close to all the best Keene has to offer! The Adirondacks are a spécial place and Dorothy’s place is the perfect place to enjoy it all
Convenient location for all our planned activities.

Hi Bradley, I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay. Since our schedules did not mesh, I'm glad your self check-in/check-out worked great. I'm glad you were here, not only to climb the Adirondack Mountains but also enjoy Lake Placid Ironman 2018! I do hope to see you another time on your return to the Adirondack Mountain! Regards, Dorothy
The property was perfect, 1 bedroom, 1 bath, living room, kitchen everything there and Stewarts next door. Loved it will go back again.

Hi Pauline,
I'm glad you enjoyed your getaway and have crossed off one more Adirondack High Peak hike off your list! I hope you enjoy the winter and I look forward to seeing you in the Spring.
Regards, Dorothy
Very clean and convenient place to stay. It was very close to the trails in the high peaks wilderness and lake placid. Stewart's was very close and a short walk for morning coffee and snacks. Highly recommend

Cynthia and her friend were wonderful guests. They left the cottage very clean. I also really enjoyed spending time talking with them. I look forward to seeing them again.
Check in was a breeze, and the property was exactly as described.....cozy and charming. Everything you could ever want is supplied, like a home away from home.
We loved the location and the convenience. Dorothy is a wonderful host and makes you feel most welcome! We will definitely be staying again.

John and Grace were excellent guests. They were also a pleasure to talk and we could have spoken for hours. Any host would be lucky to have them as guests and I look forward to having them as my guests any time.
The cabin was well stocked and organized for all you could need in the kitchen. Cozy and the futon was quite comfortable.

Hi Diane,
Although brief, it was nice meeting you and talking with you. I know your son just wanted to relax in his pajamas in the cottage but I hope he enjoyed the Ice Castle. Maybe next time...the bobsled ride!
Regards,
Dorothy
The cottage matches its description and is very nice for one or two people. The host was easy to work with. The location is convenient for enjoying everything the Keene valley has to offer.
Dorothy is a very sweet lady. The Cottage is very cute and we enjoyed our stay and will go back again.

Hi Daniel,
I'm so glad that you and your wife enjoyed your stay at the cottage and your time in The Adirondack Mountains. Of course, after you left, we did get approx. 5" of snow! I agree with you and do wish I could make the shower larger. I hope to see you again.
Regards,
Dorothy

A great home base in the mountains
Stayed here for a long weekend of hiking and it was the perfect home base for our adventures. Plenty of room, comfortable furnishings, all the amenities you need, an ideal location close to trail heads, stores, restaurants. We'll be back!

Hi Karine & Jeff,
You certainly did some marathon hiking! I'm glad you had good weather. Only a few more mountains to go until you reach your '46er!
It was a pleasure to meet you and your hiking buddy Della.
Traveling alone for hiking in the area. Cottage was perfect location, very neat and clean. Nice bed and well stocked kitchen. Dorothy was easy to communicate with and I would stay here again.

This cozy cottage is exactly how we felt during our weekend stay in Keene. The Stewart Shop & gas station was super convenient & walkable from the cottage. The property was well kept and met all our needs. Would highly recommend.
Thank you Dorothy!

About the host
Hosted by Dorothy Sawczyn
We live in the house next to the cottage and always enjoy meeting and talking with the people visiting our area.
Why they chose this property
The cottage is located in the 'Heart of the Adirondack Mountains' and central to many mountains and hiking trails. Located just off the main road, it is easy access in, easy access out. Being in town, you have the convenience of walking to many shops rather than get back into the car after a long days adventure. Very cozy & comfortable.
What makes this property unique
The kitchen gives you the option to cook meals if you would like to save money plus enjoy a home-cooked meal or just relax and enjoy a meal from the restaurant. The 'in town' location allows you to walk to several shops, restaurants, etc. without having to get back into your car.
