Sit back, relax, and discover the Adirondacks with us at Northwood Cabins. Located one mile east of Tupper Lake on Route 30 we are your gateway to the Western High Peaks. Enjoy the fresh Adirondack breezes from your own front porch or a peaceful early morning paddle from one of the many boat launches located near us.
Our Adirondack cabins provide a nostalgic experience with all the modern amenities. The cabins sleep 2-4 people, have their own private bathroom and all linens are provided. Also all of our cabins are equipped with AC/heat, refrigerators, flat screen TV’s with cable and have wifi access. Two cabins offer full kitchens and a separate bedroom.

It's a delicate balance, more guests less adventure, less guests more adventure. We are resigned to the fact that from the Tinman in June to the 90 miler in September we work. But after that, while weekends (and Sundays 😀) are full mid week provides us the opportunity to get out and remind ourselves why it is we came here in the first place. Six million acres to explore.
We continue to stay close to home as we can't leave in the morning until all the work is done. So for now further destinations are off the table.
The other day found us at the Stoney Creek parking lot at 11:00 with Raquette Falls as our goal. We had not been back there in a couple of years so while familiar it still held a few surprises.
This is a very nice trail which runs along an old woods road, for the most part flat or easy grades with only a couple of short moderate climbs. There are few rocks or roots to slow you down, leaving only advancing age to account for that. The only really rough section is along the river between the Upper and Lower Falls, which can be avoided by using the Canoe Carry.
We stopped for lunch at the lean-to near the Rangers Station before heading down the Canoe Carry to the Upper Falls. On the way out we paid a visit at the Ranger Station, no one was home but Marcy insisted on a photo for her Instagram page. We didn't have the heart to tell her that she doesn't have one.
Covered 10.5 miles in 5 hours.
Well, we must be making progress.
When we first purchased the Northwood Cabins we had a fairly lengthy "to do list" new water system, new roofs, update the electric service in each cabin, repaint each cabin inside and out, foundation work, rehab the sign, new driveway, buy t-shirts, new mattresses and box springs, wait, go back... "buy t-shirts?"
Yep, "buy t-shirts." What better way to let everyone know about the Northwood Cabins then to convince other people to spend their hard earned money to help us advertise. Genius, who ever came up with this idea is a genius.
A big thank you to our in-house design team for coming up with this wonderful graphic, and to Stacked Graphics for bringing it to life. This late in the season we did a very limited number and they are going fast...ish. So stop in and pick one up, four colors to choose from.
If these sell well we would like to add other designs and possibly sweatshirts and hoodies as well.
Who knows, maybe someday I will be walking down the street of some far off foreign city, say Lake Placid, and I will see someone wearing one of our shirts.
