AS FEATURED ON ABC AND BUZZFEED
Stabbin Cabin #2 was created for two guests who want a romantic lake escape with more character than a standard cabin or hotel room.
The cabin sits on privately owned Grant Island in the Adirondacks, surrounded by public Brantingham Lake. A huge picture window frames the water from bed, a motorized projector transforms the cabin into a private movie space, and your balcony gives you a peaceful place for coffee, dinner or an evening drink.

• Comfortable queen bed with quality linens
• Fresh sheets and towels
• 5-foot by 8-foot lake-view picture window

The motorized projector screen lowers over the lake-view window, allowing you to turn the cabin into a cinematic viewing space without leaving bed.
The Roku provides access to streaming apps. Guests may sign in using their own streaming-service accounts.
There is no air conditioning. A ceiling fan is provided for warmer weather, while the gas heater and electric blanket add comfort during cooler periods.

Grant Island is a privately owned 1.4-acre island on public Brantingham Lake in the Adirondacks.
Stabbin Cabin #2 combines a quiet island setting with access to boating, fishing, swimming, wildlife, sunsets and stargazing.
Brantingham Lake is public, so residents and recreational boaters may also be on the water.
Two popular restaurants and bars, a local general store and seasonal recreation are available on the nearby mainland. The surrounding Adirondack and Tug Hill region offers hiking, state parks, horseback riding, wineries and other outdoor activities.
Because Grant Island is accessed by boat, bring the food, clothing, medication and personal supplies you expect to need during your stay.
