Cabins are created in the Adirondack Mountain traditional rustic style but include modern amenities that you have come to expect in modern living. Most of our places are complete "homes away from homes" and many of our clients choose to enjoy high speed internat service and satellite television.

All cabins are built with spacious windows to provide a panoramic view of the surrounding pines, hardwood trees and the abundant deer population. Each cabin is trimmed with lots of knotty pine and includes a thick handcrafted breakfast bar. Two story cabins feature hand-peeled cedar spindles on the stairways and thick pine steps. The exterior is finished in thick rustic pine siding. Winding driveways with large boulder entrances are provided wherever possible.

Cabins and homes are built for the needs and requirements of the clients. Several styles are available in one or two stories and can be varied from two bedrooms and one bath to four bedrooms and 2+ baths. Custom plans can be made to suit the requirements of our clients. Structures can be built on frost walls or full basements wherever possible. Garages and out buildings are also available.
