Welcome to our newly renovated lakefront cottage! Do as much or as little as you would like while you are enjoying the Adirondack Park.
Turn right out of our driveway and you can walk to Bear Mountain. Turn to the left, venture a little further and many other hiking or fishing adventures await. Explore the town at Tupper Lake or visit the Wild Center. Venture a little further (~ 1 hour) and you may visit Saranac Lake, the Adirondack Rail Trail, the High Peak region or Lake Placid. Then cool off in the lake.
Or stay all day at the cottage relaxing, reading or playing with the kayaks and canoes. Fish off our dock and swim in the lake. Sleep well.
Linens and towels are provided at the cottage. Everything you need on one level if you have trouble with stairs.
Enhance your comfort and fun by bringing your own beach towels, fishing gear, floating water toys, bug repellant and sun protection.
We are dog friendly. Dogs should be monitored at all times. Dogs are not allowed on the beds and/or on the second carpeted level. Guests are responsible for cleaning up for their pets and are responsible for any damage.

We have a full guide to help acquaint you with the cottage, including local spots to check out. We’re not so sure it is “undiscovered” anymore, but this is the “Forever Wild” section of the Adirondack Park. Trails, lakes and streams tend to be quieter and less fished.
We would love to share a few highlights with you, especially in the hamlet of Wanakena:

A Little About Us
Erin Bowman Park and Rachel Bullene Graham are longtime friends from Rochester, NY. During the summers, Rachel’s family graciously invited Erin to her camp on Cranberry Lake and the rest is history. When the opportunity came up for Rachel, Erin and their husbands to purchase the camp next door, we embraced it. We hope our friends, family and guests love it as much as we do. Rachel and Travis live locally in the hamlet of Wanakena (very close to Cranberry Lake). Erin and Jim live in Rochester, NY when they are not in the Adirondacks. Between Jim’s love of fishing and birding and Rachel and Travis’ knowledge of the area, you are in good hands.
