COVID-19 INFORMATION & SAFETY
We’re Sanitizing Even What You Don't See

Whatever Comes Next, We're Thinking About It Today
We’re closely monitoring the NY State Governor’s guidance. Our operations will undoubtedly change and we appreciate your patience and consideration in advance.
Our Expectations of Guests
Taking Care
We are a small family business simply trying to navigate what the new normal is while also trying to maintain the health of our guests and ourselves. We expect that our guests have taken great care and precaution, as we have, to self-quarantine and social distance. We know the Adirondacks is beloved to many which is why we’re opening our doors in a limited way. We will welcome guests who have self-quarantined prior to arrival for 14 days and who are feeling well and healthy. We expect our guests to be honest - that they have not come into contact with anyone that has had active COVID-19. Our cabins host 8 or fewer people. Only one cabin will be rented to each party. We will disallow congregating in groups of more than 10. This restriction may ease later in the summer. If you do not feel you can meet these expectations, please cancel your reservation.
FAQ

Do I need to wear a face covering? Face coverings must be worn when in public areas such as the WiFI porch, in our local grocery stores, etc. We will wear them as well. A face mask can be purchased from us.

Can I check in early or have a late departure? We are sorry we can not honor any early arrivals or late departures this season. For guests who launch a boat off-property on their day of arrival, you may park your car and boat trailer at the top of our property - to arrange permission for this, please contact us 24 hours in advance of your arrival. For guests without a boat, we highly recommend you make your travel arrangements in conjunction with an outdoor activity along the way to allow you to abide by our later check-in. If you’d like, we can contact you when your cabin is available.
