WHAT GUESTS SAY:



MYA:



“Everything was amazing. The cabin itself was clean and conveniently located by being the closest to the bathroom, shower and hot tub. Between the hot tub, fire pit, provided boat, diving board and lake itself, we were never bored.”

The Neighborhood:

Grant Island is a privately owned 1.4-acre island on public Brantingham Lake in the Adirondacks.



The Stabbin Cabin combines original island character 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.



Getting Around:

Guests park at our designated mainland parking area. We meet you there, help with your belongings and bring you to Grant Island by pontoon boat. The ride generally takes about 5 minutes.



After arrival, approved operators receive an orientation for the two electric boats shared by Stabbin Cabin #1 and Stabbin Cabin #2:



• One 6-seat electric boat

• One rowboat with an electric motor and oars



Every operator must be at least 18.



The boats may be used for:



• Transportation between Grant Island and the mainland

• Fishing

• Leisurely exploration of Brantingham Lake



Because both boats are shared between the two Stabbin Cabins, exclusive use of either boat is not guaranteed.



After-dark operation is permitted only when the required navigation lights are working and proper flotation devices are worn. It is not recommended because visibility and lake conditions can change quickly.



Boat use is subject to weather, charging, maintenance, safe lake conditions and equipment availability.



If you prefer not to operate an electric boat, management remains available to provide pontoon transportation between the island and mainland.



One mainland parking space is included. All guest vehicles remain on the mainland.
