Three miles from the Whiteface Mountain ski center, perched on an 18 acre wooded slope divided by a year-round peaceful mountain stream, Pine Hill Cabin is a beautifully rebuilt Adirondack cabin, with pine floors, and an old stone fireplace. The cabin has three bedrooms, two with queen beds, and the third with bunk beds, so the cabin comfortably sleeps six. Add 2 baths, a hot tub, a balcony and deck with mountain views, a kitchen, washer-dryer and a 2-bay drive-in car port. Linens, cooking and eating utensils, Cable TV, cable modem for high-speed internet access, and DVD, make Pine Hill Cabin a rustic and relaxing home away from home. Seasonal chills are kept out with a hot air furnace. We have noted the return of our eagles to their nest at the Adirondack Wildlife Refuge, across from our dock on the the Ausable on Jan 30th, about a mile from Pine Hill Cabin.
All you need to bring with you are clothes, food, ski gear, hiking gear or fishing poles. campfire near the barbecue in the back yard provides a great place for the family to gather in the evening, to review the day’s activities, have a family sing-along, or just to listen to the waters of the stream, while counting the stars in the clear Adirondack skies, and inhaling the fragrance of the pines which enclose the yard.
Serious hikers are within easy range of High Peaks Trails. The trail up Whiteface Mountain and Esther begins a 1/4 mile from the driveway. The Veterans Memorial "Highway", the beautiful 2-lane country road up the back of Whiteface Mountain, which Pine Hill cabin sits off of, features great views, a specially stocked trout pond for young kids, as well as America's very first theme park, "Santa's Workshop at the North Pole", a great place for kids to pet reindeer, enjoy kiddie rides, and meet Santa's elves.
Restaurants, stores and a sandy beach are all within walking distance of the cabin. The High Peaks towns of Wilmington, Jay and Lake Placid offer nightly summer activities for young and old alike, everything from plays, concerts and art exhibits to fireworks and bluegrass/ rock and country bands under the stars.
Pine Hill Cabin has a two night minimum stay. Formed by the damming of the West Branch of the Ausable River, at the bridge in Wilmington, Lake Everest has a public beach in Wilmington, within walking distance of Pine Hill Cabin. The Park at Lake Everest provides a great place for younger kids who want to play in and around the water on a sandy bottom. At Lake Everest you can launch canoes and kayaks, fish for the famous Ausable River brown and rainbow trout, play volleyball, or just picnic under the lovely cedars that cluster around the shore. Lake Everest has rest rooms, barbecue pits, and country/ rock/ folk concerts every Thursday Evening in July and August.
Don't forget your camera, as wildlife sightings include bobcat, red fox, fisher, the harmless Adirondack black bear and moose. If you don't see wildlife in the yard or on the trails, guests may visit the nearby Adirondack Wildlife Refuge, where friends and family can meet falcons, owls and other critters, while learningfrom Refuge personnel all about nature and how habitat and climate work to sustain the world we inhabit. Other interesting topics for discussion include how old is the universe and how long have people been on earth, how will climate change affect not only us, but the wildlife we share our planet with, and how did we develop dogs out of wolves, and livestock out of wild animals and when did that all this happen?
The Refuge provides canoes and kayaks, as well as public fishing access on Lake Everest, right across from an eagle’s nest. Routine sightings on Lake Everest and its surrounding sloughs include bald eagles, osprey, hawks, vultures, mergansers, mallards, great blue herons, beaver, mink, and many other critters.
House-trained, socialized dogs are welcome at Pine Hill Cabin. The Olympic attractions of Lake Placid are 12 miles away through the Wilmington notch, one of America's most beautiful country roads.

January-11 2023We were absoulutely thrilled with our little cabin in the woods! It was very cozy and had the Adirondack vibe throughout! The place had been updated from the photos and surpassed our expectations in every way! My daughter loved opening her bedroom window and listening to the bubbling brook beside the cabin and said: "I love that sound!" If I was a writer, this would be the ideal place to sit and get your work done. Very peaceful surroundings and set up off the main road. It was with great regret that we packed up our bags and left this pretty spot! Although we went hiking and into Lake Placid for eating and shopping it was hard to leave the cabin in the woods as we could've stayed in this cabin all day! We also really liked that this place was dog friendly as we always travel with our Golden Retriever! This property is ideal for all seasons...we hope to be back in the summer time.

July-04 2023What a wonderful stay at Pine Hill Cabin! Everything is in walking distance in the town of Wilmington. The cabin was great, very well stocked and worth the money. We were in great proximity to all hiking trails and Lake Placid. Steve was great and very responsive. Would love to stay here again. Trip was great, because of the cabin!
