Adirondack Mountains Travel

Seeking Outdoor Enthusiasts! 4 BEDROOM, NOW 3 BATH HOUSE!!

This is the location you want for your Adirondack vacation. Our home sits on 5 ACRES with a magnificent view of the high peaks. It is quiet and secluded off a country road, yet very close to charming downtown Keene. Minutes away you will find horseback riding, fly-fishing, swimming, hiking, cross country skiing, rock or ice climbing. We are a 15 MINUTES TO WHITEFACE MOUNTAIN, the only Olympic downhill ski center and also rated #1 in the East by Ski Magazine. Whiteface has an excellent kids campus and nursery facility.

The hamlet of Keene known as the "Home to the High Peaks" boasting the greatest number of peaks in a single location. These mountains rise majestically in the Keene Valley Region making this area a mecca for hikers, climbers and other visitors who wish to experience the breathtaking beauty of the Adirondack mountains. There are literally hundreds of hiking, skiing and walking and biking trails located in MINUTES FROM OUR HOUSE including the trail to the summit of Mt. Marcy, the highest mountain in New York State.

Our house is just 20 minutes from the Ski Jumping Complex, where you can ride to the top of the 26 story, 120 meter ski jump in a glass enclosed elevator! Other venues include the bobsled and luge track where you can take an exhilarating ride down the only dedicated bobsled run in the US. We are 25 MINUTES FROM DOWNTOWN LAKE PLACID, with its Olympic skating rink, historic sites, and world-class horse shows. If you stick around the house, enjoy a walk right out our front door, down our secluded long driveway and look for wildlife or continue on down the country road to the East Branch of Ausable to swim, fish or just enjoy the scenery.

We pay attention to detail in our 2600 SQUARE FOOT HOME. The inviting 20 by 40 ft. living room has a vaulted ceiling where you can sit on our wrap around couch and watch the sun rise and set over our 20 by 40 ft deck. The view of the high peaks is magnificent. The deck connects to a separate screened in covered porch. There are new oak floors and carpeting as well as gorgeous knotty pine walls and ceilings.

The spacious kitchen was remodeled completely in 2003. You will find EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO PREPARE LARGE FAMILY MEALS IN STYLE! The large living room with the exceptional view and the kitchen are all well connected which makes it easy to be together as a family.

There is a brand new theater sound system, VCR, DVD, CD player, and phone,satellite TV in the summer or upon request in the winter . You will also find ample tapes, DVDs, books and board games. We also have a nordic track and hand weights for indoor exercise.

There are 4 bedrooms; 3 with queen beds and 1 with twin beds. In addition there is a futon in the living room, 2 air mattresses, 2 cots and a large sectional couch that can sleep 2. There are now
