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 beauty of the Adirondack mountains. There are literally hundreds of hiking, skiing, 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.

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 the Ausable River to swim, fish or just enjoy the scenery.
We pay attention to detail in our 2600 SQUARE FOOT HOME.
