Wells Cabin | The Dakota, Family & Dog-Friendly Adirondack Cabin on Lake Algonquin

2 Bedroom Cabin in Wells

The Dakotais a new, modern, four-season, log-sided cabin on Lake Algonquin in the southern Adirondack mountains. The Yogi and the Dakota were built in 2016 by David and Jennifer Woodward of Wells, NY. The cabins were named after their two dogs they raised for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. My Wife Crystal and I have been guests at both cabins many times throughout the years. David and Jennifer were always the most gracious of hosts which made the experience that much more special.
In 2022 Crystal and I became the new owners of the cabins. We could not be more thrilled to be able to continue to enjoy the cabins and to have the opportunity to share them the with our guests.
We are a family friendly property requiring guests to be a minimum age 25 unless accompanied by a guardian. Dogs are welcome with prior approval. In the spring, summer, and fall, enjoy canoeing, kayaking and fishing using our canoe and kayaks. Paddle up the Sacandaga River or over to Lake Algonquin directly from our property . Our boats are available based on spring and fall weather. Boats are always available from May 15th to October 1st. Our grill is charcoal, just bring your charcoal and lighter fluid and enjoy outdoor cooking! - or just sit back and enjoy the wilderness that is the North Country. Behind the cabin is a large flat area for activities and a fire pit for s'mores and relaxing in the evenings. On a clear night, the stars are amazing!
It's a short walk or drive to the town beach, where you can swim or soak up the sun. Or, explore the many hiking trails in the area, leading up mountains, to waterfalls, or into the solitude of the forest.
In the fall, the leaves are spectacular! There are many beautiful scenic byways you can drive right from our doorstep.
In the winter, enjoy skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, tubing, ice skating and snowmobiling. Hamilton County has some of the best Snowmobiling in NY. Our cabin is directly on the NYS trail system with access to hundreds of miles of groomed, marked snowmobile trails. We also have plenty of parking for your snowmobile trailer.
The first floor features a living room with a leather sectional sofa and a 42"flat-screen television with DIRECTV and a DVD player. The dining room includes seating for six. There is a modern kitchen with a stainless electric stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave oven and coffee-maker. The downstairs bedroom has a queen-sized bed.

Summary: This was our family’s 5th staying here. We love it! The house is great, we love canoeing and kayaking to the town beach, the big yard, and campfires in the evening. If you’re lucky enough to get a clear night, the stars are incredible!
