DESCRIPTION
Simple, small, rustic - call it what you will, but for those comfortable in their own skin there's really nothing else you'd need. In fact, spend a week at Wobniar reveling in the natural beauty of Rainbow Lake and there will be nothing else you'll really want - except, perhaps, another week...

Rainbow is a quiet lake system comprised of approximately 25 miles of unsullied and interconnecting waterways. The lake proper is punctuated by "Hogs Back", an esker (Ok -  a long skinny island) formed by the retreating glaciers that chiseled the terrain of this rugged and beautiful place. Just a brief canoe paddle from Wobniar's dock around to the back side of the esker puts you in water bordering the State Forest Preserve and unfolding miles of pristine shoreline, woods, and mountains with nary a trace of humanity.

As for the cabin itself, Wobniar is solid, old, and has been lovingly refurbished with an eye towards the traditional "Adirondack Style". The main room boasts a gorgeous lakefront view, vaulted wood ceilings with natural cedar log beams, and pine walls. Two bedrooms, each with log beds, rest behind - providing a quiet and cozy retreat. Refinished 100-year-old pine plank floors run throughout.

No TV. No DVD/audio system. No video games. Dishwasher? Air conditioning? High- speed internet connection? Washer/dryer? Nope. Point of fact, if you really want these things then truthfully Wobniar is probably not for you. If, however, you want simple elegance overlooking one of the best views on Rainbow Lake, with ready access to the natural wonders in the heart of the Adirondacks, then please consider this your personal invitation.

Features:

Yes, rustic - but certainly not crude! Wobniar is clean-lined and uncluttered, yet nicely- appointed in Adirondack style. The camp includes these features:

• 80+ feet of lakefront in a quiet, private cove on Rainbow Lake
• Vaulted ceiling great room with all wood interior & beautiful lake view
• Master bedroom with Old Hickory log queen bed
• Second bedroom with pine log duo bed - full on bottom / twin on top
• Sleeps six including the hardwood futon couch / full bed
• Bathroom with shower - hot and cold water included
• Gas woodstove and electric heat for use during non-summer months
• Kitchen essentials: microwave, refrigerator, coffee pot, and toaster
• Telephone
• Outdoor gas grill
• Screened porch entryway / dining area off of kitchen
• Wooden Adirondack chairs outside and on the dock
• Two lake docks: wooden boat dock and offshore swimming dock
• Nova Tripper 16' Royal ex canoe, life vests, and wooden paddles

Location:

Wobniar and Rainbow Lake lie at the northern center of the Adirondack State Park, about 12 miles northwest of the Saranac Lake, and about a 25 miles northwest of Lake Placid.

Things To Do:

• Fish. Rainbow is absolutely great for bass, northern pike, perch, and catfish and nearby Jones Pond is a famed bass fishing Mecca.
• Canoe. Use Wobniar's or bring your own kayaks /canoes. Explore the vastness of Rainbow and connecting Lake Kushaqua, or paddle the famous St. Regis Canoe Area nearby.
• Town. Saranac Lake has a small town yet funky feel that we love. Yet, if you're looking for upscale, then you may prefer Lake Placid, which is not too much further. For day trips: try the ferry over to Burlington VT for lunch or head up to Montreal - both approximately 2 hours away.
• High Peaks. Climb one of the Adirondack 46 "high peaks" (whose summits' exceed 4,000 feet) for an experience and view you'll not soon forget. Most have trails and many can be done in less than 8 hours of hiking time.
• Swim and Relax. Wobniar provides a quiet and natural environment that is totally conducive to disconnecting from hurried lives in the "outside world". Read a book. Swim. Be still.

Policies:

• Jet skis, motorboats, or motorized recreational vehicles are not permitted
• No pets allowed
• Smoking inside the cabin is not allowed
• Refundable $250 security deposit required
• BYOL - Bring your own linens
• Not well-suited for children under four years of age
• Just be safe, be cool, and have fun!
