The PERFECT place for a ski weekend, week or month!
Downhill ski at Gore Mtn, just 15 minutes away; x-country at Garnet Hill, just 20 minutes away or snowshoe, x-country, backcountry or hike right outside your front door.
This beautiful new log home is nestled in the mountains on one of the most pristine lakes in the Adirondacks. Garnet Lake is 1.6 miles long and .25 miles across and boasts some of the best bass and pickerel fishing in the area. Two thirds of the lake is surrounded by state-owned undeveloped wilderness.
From the wrap around deck you have the best view down the lake and into the afternoon sun for those delightful happy hours. The lake is famous for its loon population and their distinctive call is a treat to hear over the water. The kayaks are perfect for exploring the unspoiled wilderness at the end of the lake and the paddleboat is perfect for the kids. Jet skies are prohibited but small motor boats are allowed and there is a boat ramp.
The house is knotty pine throughout and is decorated in Adirondack decor. Two bedrooms and a full bath are upstairs and a bedroom and full bath are on the main level. There is one sleeper sofa on the main level and one on the ground/lake level. If you've been wanting that Adirondack vacation but are a little nervous of the many "camps" or "cozy cattages" that you know will be old and musty then this is the place for you: beautiful outdoors combined with a very clean,new, modern house with all the amenities.
Cook s'mores on a campfire by the water's edge and prepare to see the starriest skies. Hike Crane Mountain or one of the many other well marked local trails; white water raft the Hudson or visit the Garnet Mine (all within 20 minutes). If all this wilderness becomes too much for the kids take them mini golfing or to 6 Flags Amusement park or the water park in Lake George (30 minutes away).
For the winter traveler Gore Mountain is just 15 minutes away and has excellent downhill skiing and Garnet Hill is rated one of the top five X-country ski areas in the nation. There is ice fishing and many snowmobile trails.
