Along the water’s edge in Long Lake, this private, year-round Adirondack cabin is defined by panoramic views that shift with the light and the seasons, creating a true oasis that still feels close to town. Inside, an open kitchen and dining area flows into the living room, with three bedrooms—including a loft bedroom—and two full bathrooms. A dry basement adds generous storage along with the potential for future living and/or bedroom space. Outdoors, a covered porch sets the rhythm of the day: sunrise and lifting fog in the morning, direct sunshine in the afternoon, then sunsets and stars at night, all accompanied by the wildlife of its secluded, wooded setting. The landscaped lawn encourages seasonal wildflowers while offering a flat, expanded space for gatherings, anchored by a large handcrafted stone fire pit facing the view.

Outdoors, a beautiful wraparound patio becomes the natural gathering spot—equally suited to slow mornings and relaxed entertaining amid peaceful surroundings. The location keeps weekend and weekday pleasures close at hand: Hudson, Chatham, and Kinderhook are just 10–12 minutes away for boutique shopping, dining, theatre, and arts, with local orchards nearby. Commuting and travel are simplified with Amtrak five miles away, Columbia County Airport 1.5 miles away, and easy access to the Taconic Parkway and I-90.
