| Description: | |
| Welcome to Creekside, located on 39-forested acres in the Adirondack Region of New York State. The property has 420 feet of waterfront on both sides of beautiful, deep, and sandy-bottomed Big Creek. The cabin itself is situated in a sunny open area just 75 feet from a bluff overlooking the creek. There are superb views of the water as well as the surrounding wild forest and rock cliffs on the opposite shore. Tall majestic pines line the bank above the waters edge. The property is quiet and very private, yet easily accessible. No other houses are visible from our property. The cabin offers a peaceful sense of being nestled in the forest by the water.
Creekside is our personal retreat and refuge, and we have devoted much love and care into creating a setting that is comfortable and attractive for both ourselves and our guests. THE CABIN: This cozy cabin is both charming and comfortable, making even rainy days into a pleasant experience. West facing French doors off the living area open wide onto the porch for stunning views of the water and the setting sun. The cabin features an open living and kitchen area, one bedroom, and an easily accessible large loft with both a sleeping area and a cozy nook for reading and relaxing. This small, intimate cabin is ideally suited for two people; four is the maximum occupancy it can comfortably hold. Parents, please be aware that the cabin is set up to accommodate adults and older children. It is not well suited to very young children. Additionally, the yard has a steep 15 foot embankment dropping abruptly into the deepest part of the creek (7 to 12 feet water depth). The creek itself is readily accessible from the shore and the dock, and has an uneven bottom with sudden drop-offs. The water level of the creek fluctuates depending upon such factors as amount of rainfall and activity of the local beaver population. Some summers the creek may be high and others the level may be lower. ABOUT CREEKSIDE: Swim, canoe, kayak and fish right here on Big Creek or on nearby rivers and lakes. When water is high, the adventuresome can take the one-mile canoe trip from the cabin downstream to the Oswegatchie River. Observe the abundant wildlife at your doorstep from a wide-ranging variety of bird-life to beaver, ducks, and fish swimming in the creek to occasional deer, turkeys, and foxes passing through. Gradual steps lead down the hillside to a swimming dock with ladder and attached bench. The dock allows for ease of swimming in the deep swimming hole on the creek plus it provides a great place to simply sit by the water. There's much to do either right here on our own property or in the vicinity. Please contact owner for their Recreation document that contains a wide variety of recreation suggestions for the area along with informative web links. THE LOCATION: We are located in the western Adirondacks just outside the park, near the village of Harrisville, New York, just 10 minutes east of Lake Bonaparte and 30 minutes west of Cranberry Lake. Situated near the border of St. Lawrence and Lewis counties, Creekside is an hour's drive from Alexandria Bay and the Thousand Islands, and forty-five minutes from the Tug Hill Plateau. The area around Harrisville has not yet been commercialized and is refreshingly rural and wild. State-owned forests are plentiful, mostly trailless, and open to exploration and discovery. Back roads often give way to dirt seasonal roads, which make for wonderful walking or bicycle forays through forests, along scenic, navigable rivers, past bogs, ponds, and waterfalls, and entire hillsides covered in wildflowers. The beauty of this area lies in its simplicity and naturalness. A number of artists have made their home in this vicinity. Their work can be found at shops in the nearby hamlet of Natural Bridge, along with several stores that specialize in the sale of antiques.

COMMENTS FROM PREVIOUS GUESTS: I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our 2-week stay at your cabin. We were surprised to find that you had thought of every little thing we could possibly need. We've rented cabins and villas and condos in the past and this was the most comfortable and well thought out place we've ever stayed. .............M & R, Syracuse, NY All I can say is Wow! What a spectacular setting and such accommodations I never expected. Not to worry we will take good care of your Eden. I'm hoping we can do this again next year. As the designated cook in this party I just want to say how impressed I am with the way the cabin has been equipped. Thanks again for sharing your oasis with us..........D & B, Merritt Island, FL We were so apprehensive when we went to the internet to find a cabin to replace our yearly camping events. It is so hard to work from pictures and phone conversations. Little did we know we would be coming to a cabin that looked like it was right out of ADIRONDACK LIFE magazine! Thank you again for sharing your beautiful cabin with us. You obviously give so many people some wonderful memories to take home. ..........L & M, Macedon, NY The cabin is amazing - beautifully done and everything we could have asked for. LOVE it! This has been one of our best trips up here (Adirondacks)...........J & C, Lockport, NY This has been our best vacation ever. The cabin is everything we hoped for. Thanks for providing such a wonderful place to stay. You've obviously put much love and care into preparing it..........J & R, Mississaugua, Ontario, Canada We found your cabin on the internet and what a find it was! Your home is beautiful and surrounded by such natural beauty! Thank you for sharing your retreat with us. We leave here totally relaxed............J & K, Clyde, NY Thank you again for such a thoughtfully put together hideaway. The screened porch makes it even better. We were out there ALL the time! .......... L & P, Phoenix, NY The cabin is clearly built for our purposes - to temporarily and blissfully forget the saturation of human impact found only in NJ. It was a memorable week here. Goodbye cabin - thanks for the fish!............P & N, Skillman, NJ (From a late autumn guest): Thank you for our wonderful stay at Creekside. I would love to come back in the summer sometime and take advantage of the canoe and all the natural beauty that surrounds your place. The cabin is just lovely, with so many thoughtful touches -- and everything was so clean, neat, efficient, well made, well labeled and in such good working order -- it really is a beautiful and special place............G.B., San Francisco, CA We couldn't have picked a better place for our honeymoon. This stay has been so relaxing. We hope to come back to this spot. It is very special to us, and it's obvious that it's special to the owners. Thank you for sharing!...........K & S, Randolph, NY What a relaxing and restful week. Your cabin is perfect with everything we could ever need. We've stayed in many places throughout the Adirondacks and this place is definitely a bargain. Loved the privacy here. Thanks for sharing your little bit of paradise!.........E & J, Syracuse, NY |
