A Happy Stay at The Good Life Cabin
We loved being greeted by Debbie when we pulled in. The cabin was so clean! It is a welcoming, cozy place in a great location for exploring The Adirondacks. Kitchen is well stocked—we found everything we needed. The fire pit and deck were wonderful. We would come back for sure!

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Taylor

Host profile image
Keith's grandparents William and Beatrice Fremont built the barn in the early 50's. It was used for their livestock and a machine shop along with a hay barn. It was sold to Charlie Wight who used it for antiques. Charlie later sold it to Rudy and Sandra Manger who came up on weekends to snowmobile and relax. They decided to sell and we purchased it. Keith has lived in wells all his life and when we married in 1971 we stayed. We have two adult children and five grandchildren. We have enjoyed the tranquility of living here away from the hustle and bustle. Keith being a local builder remodeled the whole barn with much love for detail. I am retired from wells central school and enjoy being here in the Adirondack Mountains.

Why they chose this property

A non smoking cabin. This has a history that we can share with our renters. It is a labor of love as Keith refurbished every room including the hand made cabinets to the knotty pine walls and staircase. We have kayaks, bikes, canoe, life jackets for summer fun. Snowshoes and sledding right out your door for winter pleasure.

What makes this property unique

You will enjoy the peacefulness of the rental with amazing views. In the winter you will most likely be entertained by the deer and turkey's outside your windows
