DESCRIPTION
Welcome to Creekside, located on 39-forested acres in the Adirondack Region of New York State.  The property has 420 feet of waterfront on both sides of beautiful, deep, and sandy-bottomed Big Creek.  The cabin itself is situated in a sunny open area just 75 feet from a bluff overlooking the creek with superb views of the water, the surrounding wild forest and rock cliffs on the opposite shore.  Tall majestic pines line the bank above the water’s edge.  The property is secluded and private, yet easily accessible.  

Creekside is our personal retreat and refuge, and we have devoted much love and care into creating a setting that is comfortable and attractive for both our guests and ourselves.

The Cabin:

This cozy cabin is both charming and comfortable, making even rainy days into a pleasant experience.  West facing French doors off the living area open wide onto the porch for stunning views of the water and the setting sun.  The cabin features an open living and kitchen area, one bedroom, and an easily accessible large loft with both a sleeping area and a cozy nook for reading and relaxing.

This small, intimate cabin is ideally suited for two people; four is the maximum occupancy it can comfortably hold.  Given the accessibility of the deep creek, Creekside is not recommended for families with children who cannot swim.  

About Creekside

Swim, canoe, kayak and fish right here on Big Creek or on nearby rivers and lakes.  Be adventurous and take the one-mile canoe trip from the cabin downstream to the Oswegatchie River.  Observe the abundant wildlife at your doorstep from a wide-ranging variety of bird-life to beaver, ducks, and fish swimming in the creek to occasional deer, turkeys, and foxes passing through.

New! In August 2007 - a swimming dock with ladder and attached bench - for ease of swimming in the deep swimming hole on our creek plus a great place to simply sit by the water.  There's much to do either right here on our own property or in the vicinity.

The Location

We are located in the western Adirondacks just outside the park, near the village of Harrisville, New York, just 10 minutes east of Lake Bonaparte and 30 minutes west of Cranberry Lake.  Situated near the border of St. Lawrence and Lewis counties, Creekside is an hour’s drive from Alexandria Bay and the Thousand Islands, and forty-five minutes from the Tug Hill Plateau.

The area around Harrisville has not yet been commercialized and is refreshingly rural and wild.  State forestlands are plentiful, mostly trailless, and open to exploration and discovery.  Back roads often give way to dirt seasonal roads, which make for wonderful walking or bicycle forays through forests, along scenic, navigable rivers, past bogs, ponds, and waterfalls, and entire hillsides covered in wildflowers.  The beauty of this area lies in its simplicity and naturalness.  A number of artists have made their home in this vicinity.  Their work can be found at shops in the nearby hamlet of Natural Bridge, along with several stores that specialize in the sale of antiques.
