About this property
Fabulous Fern Cabin | Hot Tub | Game Room
Bring the whole family to this spacious Adirondack cabin with plenty of room for fun. Fern Cabin is a spacious log cabin set in a quiet, wooded neighborhood in Jay, NY, offering ample space for your family to create lasting memories. The HOA allows one *unoccupied* camper / RV to be parked. This cabin is not available for events and parties.
Whiteface Mountain Ski Resort is just an 11 mile / 20 minute ride away, taking you through a stunning scenic notch along the West Branch of the Ausable River. Lake Placid is 20 miles / 35 minutes from the cabin. Spend your days exploring the High Peaks region and consider taking a drive to Lake Placid's charming downtown for dining and shopping. In the evening, gather around the fire pit or in the family room for a game of pool or foosball before retiring to one of the four Adirondack-inspired bedrooms to wind down for the night.
A customized keypad door code and welcome info will be sent to you the day before arrival through the booking platform’s message system and, if provided, to your email address. Guests have access to the entire property with the exception of the owner's closet and the shed. Furniture should not be moved.
This property has three exterior security cameras: front entry, backyard (not the hot tub) and driveway.
Please note: Stairs lead to the lower level where you'll find the game room, two bedrooms and a third bathroom. Stairs are also present for the deck. Despite the deck having been cleared, pollen, leaves and pine needles accumulate quickly in this heavily wooded neighborhood.
The AuSable Acres neighborhood is a quiet, peaceful place. Strict quiet hours are from 10:00 pm - 8:00 am. In an effort to be a good neighbor, and adhere to the Town's noise ordinance, events and parties are not permitted. This house is not available for events at any time that exceed 12 guests. Please drive slowly and respectfully in the neighborhood.
Wi-Fi: Guests are asked to enter an email address and a phone number to access free Wi-Fi at this location. In accordance with booking platform policy, we use apps to facilitate our guest experience and these apps may request contact information before, during, and after your confirmed stay.
Total property capacity is limited to 12 guests. If your group is fewer than 12 people and would like to have additional people over for a visit you must request approval from the owner prior to hosting.
The HOA allows one *unoccupied* camper / RV to be parked and guests sleep in the cabin; guests should not exceed the guest limit of 12 guests. Failure to comply will result in a $500 fine and guests will be asked to vacate with no refund.
We ask that vehicles be limited to 5 at this property and that would include a camper / RV. The garage and driveway have adequate space so we ask that guests not park on the road nor in the yard.
For your stay, we provide 1 roll of paper towels, 2 rolls of toilet paper for each bathroom, 4 dishwasher pods, 5 laundry pods, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, dish soap and hand soap. Please let us know if you need additional supplies. Each guest is provided with a washcloth, bathing towel and a towel for the hot tub. Firewood may be purchased at roadside stands and local stores like Stewart’s Shops in nearby Au Sable Forks.
In summer, please do not adjust the wall thermostats as they do not control the air conditioning and will turn on the heat. Leave the air conditioners on Low.
The hot tub should remain covered when not in use. Please be mindful of children near the hot tub to ensure their safety. Enjoy the fire pit responsibly, remembering to dispose of trash, and ensure the embers are extinguished.
Underage drinking is not allowed. Smoking and vaping are not permitted within the cabin and garage.
Wednesday evenings, guests are requested to please bring the trash & recycling bins to the road for Thursday morning collection. Please flatten your cardboard boxes.
The garage is a good place to store muddy gear and snowy winter gear.
AuSable Acres Homeowners’ Association offers trails, Lake Eaton (not recommended for swimming), pickle ball / tennis courts, and Ausable River fishing at the end of Signor Rd. Current NYS fishing licenses are required. If you plan to enjoy the amenities, please let us know and we will send you an image of the HOA pass; the pickleball / tennis court code is on the card.
