“Had an absolutely amazing stay here with my 3 boys, brother, and father.The cabin is exceeded all of our expectations and the hospitality could not have been better. Coordination with the host was friendly and the tips for activities during our stay were spot on. Felt like we landed at this tranquil piece of earth with a thoughtful roadmap to a week of enjoyment and much needed relaxation. The amenities were perfect and the views and breeze through the cabin made for memorable nights with our group. We even had a fire one night.Fishing!!! Sunnies can be caught all day on a bobber and hook with a worm - they were everywhere. The real thrill was a 25 Northern pike that my son caught using gear from the cabin. Sunset was 9 and at around 930pm my son could be heard from the deck yelling pike!!! I caught a pike!!!If that isnt enough, the far end of the property is along a beautiful hiking trail. We hiked 3-5 miles each day along beautiful trails. This place is a must for a family looking for a special/remote/tranquil vacation.”

“The men & boys in my family, all six of us, just returned from an absolutely wonderful week of rest, relaxation, fellowship at Walker's On the Rocks. Our ages spanned from 75 to 12. The complete privacy and seclusion allowed us an mosaic of endless joys with no distractions. A week in a world of no electronic interruptions was a fantastic. The cabin had all that we needed and more, everything was clean, in order and ready to go. I cannot think of a better way to spend time with family. It was simply perfect. We will return next year and, most probably, every year thereafter.

“"Lakeside seclusion" says it all. This part of Long Lake--nearly at its northern end--is incredibly quiet and private. You can go for days without seeing or hearing other people. We spent our time sitting on the dock, swimming, reading, and watching the local wildlife (mergansers, eagles, kingfishers, loons). The broad view of the lake and enormous amount of sky provides endless interest, from the mist burning off in the morning, to the dramatic sunsets, to the spectacular stargazing. The cabin is rustic, which is exactly as it should be; the front bedroom is wonderfully boat-like and cozy. There are a screened-in porch and an open porch, each with a gorgeous view of the lake. The Northville-Lake Placid Trail offers beautiful hiking opportunities right out back, if you can tear yourself away from the lake to take advantage of it! Being away from wifi, cell service, and electricity (gas-powered fridge and stove are great) makes it a truly relaxing, unplugged experience. This is what vacation is all about. ”

“We had a peaceful and lovely time at this secluded and very private oasis. Great swimming off of the dock, rugged hiking, and lots of successful fishing. Wonderful kayaking every morning and glorious sunsets each night. Having a canoe, two kayaks, and a small fishing boat all included was such a bonus. We loved exploring the north end of the lake and sitting on the screened-in porch playing games or reading. Many loons, large families of ducks, and other assorted wildlife.

“This place is highly recommended for its value, gorgeous setting and accessibility to outdoor activities. As the cabin is located at toward the end of the Long Lake, this is an incredibly peaceful place to stay. There were many times during the week that the expansive view from the dock and porch was free from any human activity. The lake and Raquette River offer great paddling opportunites and as the Northville-Lake Placid Trail, runs behind the cabin, hiking and trail running are other enticing pastimes. While I do not fish, members of my party who do, were often disappearing at dawn or dusk with one of the boats...and returning with tales of bass and pike, and the one that got away.
Among the highlights of the cabin itself, are the screened-in porch, where you can enjoy the sunset while eating dinner; the tasteful and rustic interior; well equipped kitchen; and 4 separate bedrooms with comfortable beds, including a master bedroom in which you feel like you are sleeping right above the shoreline and another in a seperate "hut".
With the porch, seperate bedrooms, kitchen with attached bar and stools, and living area, it is easy for people to find some peace within the cabin as well, even with a large group. Packing books, favorite games and for other indoor activities is recommended for rainy weather. Another "asset", if you are trying to get "away from it all", is that without electricity, tech options can be somewhat limited. Cell coverage depends on your carrier, and can be a bit unpredictable. There is a land line for back up.
To enhance your enjoyment at the cabin, and to avoid unplanned trips back up the lake, make sure you plan ahead and pack the food and necessities you will need for the number of days you plan on staying "away from civilization". ”
