From the owner

This lovely historic home was built in 1902 when the Rich Lumber Company built a mill town in this charming hamlet. This cottage was originally a mill worker boarding house, then later converted into a family owned home purchased by John T. Olson from Sweden. His family owned the cottage for decades. The cottage is made out of original hemlock and has two bedrooms, one bath with a claw foot tub/shower, a cozy family room with a wood pellet stove, a morning room, a large enclosed porch, full kitchen, breakfast bar and dining area. Two kayaks and two bicycles are included with the cottage available for your use. The home still has many of the original antique furnishings including the icebox that the Olsen family stored their cow milk in, to sell to the townspeople of Wanakena. Enjoy your morning coffee in front of the wood pellet stove in the cozy living room or in an Adirondack chair on the large wrap-around, screened-in porch surrounded by the aroma of balsam firs. Walk one block to the quaint village center to catch a summer concert in the gazebo. Go for a swim or launch the house kayaks at the public beach. Walk to the tennis courts, basketball court or playground. Take a self-guided walking tour of Wanakena, courtesy of the Wanakena Historical Association. Enjoy a delicious meal at the local favorite Black Water Restaurant overlooking the river. Take advantage of abundant opportunities for hiking, boating, fishing, and exploring, as well as easy day trips to visit the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake, the Wild Center in Tupper Lake, or the tourist shops in Lake Placid and the High Peaks Region. The property sleeps four, we have a queen size air mattress.

    Wonderful place to stay!
    Jul 2014

    The cottage met all of our expectations and more! It was absolutely perfect! We especially enjoyed the front porch, cozy beds, and kayaks. The kitchen had a vintage feel, with all the modern amenities… More
