Loon Cabin at Wakanda

Found Loon Cabin at this neat Adirondack getaway on Metafilter. From the website: "Loon Cabin is Wakanda's ecologically-friendly gem located just 35 feet from the water on a point overlooking the main part of Rainbow Lake. Kick back, relax on the glider in the screened-in porch, and watch the sun, moon or stars reflected on the water. The opposite shore is New York State owned, undeveloped, and 'Forever Wild;' it is easy to imagine being on the edge of the wilderness."

All the cabins at Wakanda look gorgeous and seem worth exploring. It would be an idyllic setting for a large family reunion or shared vacation.

Loon Cabin is especially exciting to me because it boasts a composting toilet, sleeping loft, and only sleeps a max of four people. I like small buildings and mostly travel in small groups.

Cool amenities/features: kayak and canoe use, multiple cabins for rent, beach with sandy bottom, treehouse, water trampoline.

Located near: Lake Placid and Long Lake, where I have friends/family; Northern Vermont; Montreal (day trip); Saranac Lake where there's great restaurants, shopping and a natural foods store.

Rates: Loon Cabin rents for full weeks in the summer ($1200) with nights/weeks available in the spring and fall ($150-175/$900-1050). For me, it would be a splurge in the summer and reasonable to split with another couple in the spring and fall.
