Simple, small, rustic - call it what you will, but for those comfortable in their own skin there's really nothing else you'd need. In fact, spend a week at Wobniar reveling in the natural beauty of Rainbow Lake and there will be nothing else you'll really want - except, perhaps, another week...Rainbow is a quiet lake system comprised of approximately 25 miles of unsullied and interconnecting waterways. The lake proper is punctuated by "Hogs Back", an esker (Ok - a long skinny island) formed by …the retreating glaciers that chiseled the terrain of this rugged and beautiful place. Just a brief canoe paddle from Wobniar's dock around to the back side of the esker puts you in water bordering the State Forest Preserve and unfolding miles of pristine shoreline, woods, and mountains with nary a trace of humanity.
As for the cabin itself, Wobniar is solid, old, and has been lovingly refurbished with an eye towards the traditional "Adirondack Style". The main room boasts a gorgeous lakefront view, vaulted wood ceilings with natural cedar log beams, and pine walls. Two bedrooms, each with log beds, rest behind - providing a quiet and cozy retreat. Refinished 100-year-old pine plank floors run throughout.No TV. No DVD/audio system. No video games. Dishwasher Air conditioning High- speed internet connection Washer/dryer Nope [Erratum: OK, we were worn smooth on the Internet thing - high-speed WiFi is now included (2013)]. Point of fact, if you really want these things then truthfully Wobniar is probably not for you. If, however, you want simple elegance overlooking one of the best views on Rainbow Lake, with ready access to the natural wonders in the heart of the Adirondacks, then please consider this your personal invitation.

Location:Wobniar and Rainbow Lake lie at the northern center of the Adirondack State Park, about 12 miles northwest of the Saranac Lake, and about a 25 miles northwest of Lake Placid.Things To Do:* Fish. Rainbow is absolutely great for bass, northern pike, perch, and catfish and nearby Jones Pond is a famed bass fishing Mecca.* Canoe. Use Wobniar's or bring your own kayaks /canoes. Explore the vastness of Rainbow and connecting Lake Kushaqua, or paddle the famous St. Regis Canoe Area nearby.* Town. Saranac Lake has a small town yet funky feel that we love. Yet, if you're looking for upscale, then you may prefer Lake Placid, which is not too much further. For day trips: try the ferry over to Burlington VT for lunch or head up to Montreal - both approximately 2 hours away.* High Peaks. Climb one of the Adirondack 46 "high peaks" (whose summits' exceed 4,000 feet) for an experience and view you'll not soon forget. Most have trails and many can be done in less than 8 hours of hiking time.* Swim and Relax. Wobniar provides a quiet and natural environment that is totally conducive to disconnecting from hurried lives in the "outside world". Read a book. Swim. Be still.Policies:* Jet skis, motorboats, or motorized recreational vehicles are not permitted* No pets allowed* Smoking inside the cabin is not allowed* Refundable $400 security deposit required* BYOL - Bring your own linens* Not well-suited for children under four years of age* Just be safe, be cool, and have fun!

“We had the pleasure of staying at Wobniar for the first time this year. During the planning process we had shared our love of full moons with the owners. They accommodated our quirkiness by opening their cabin a week earlier than they had planned! This care for their tenants' pleasure extended to the cabin itself. Wobniar is beautifully outfitted with high-end and comfortable Adirondack-inspired furnishings and appointed with tasteful and artful decor and it is obvious that its owners love their camp. The cabin is situated in its own cove, on one of the most lovely lakes we've seen in our 7 years of annually exploring a different location in the ADKs. Rainbow Lake and its adjacent bodies of water has an irregular shoreline, marshes and clarity that makes for the best paddling we've experienced yet. It teemed with wildlife, the fishing was great, and the sunsets were amazing. The gorgeous front porch provided a perfect venue for lake gazing, card playing, shelter from the rain, and reading. Be prepared for great sleeping in the very comfy beds, and a welcoming shower in the brand new bathroom. We wished for nothing during our stay, except to be able to stay a few days more! Two thumbs up, Wobniar!”

“We have now rented Wobniar for six years in a row, returning because we find it irresistible, the most beautiful location we have seen in the Adirondacks after these years of exploring them. It is a small but perfect, charming, beautiful, and totally relaxing cabin perched conveniently over a beautiful lake looking out at a green wilderness beyond. The docks are wonderful, and I think of the swim dock as "my quiet place" in the world. The kayaks and canoe are of outstanding quality, as is everything about this cabin. There is no TV to distract us from enjoying the view, the sunset, the birdsong and the wind in the trees. This is one of the most relaxing destinations we have ever found in a lifetime of travel, and certainly one of the most beautiful. You will not be disappointed if you understand that it is not glitzy nor meant to be. You are in the REAL Adirondacks here, the best of them, in a beloved cabin which has been treated that way. ”
