About this property

Enjoy over 1250 feet of private access on the famous East branch of the AuSable River while you stay in this newly renovated 1840's Adirondack home. The East Branch of the Ausable River is world-renowned for its fly-fishing enjoyment and White Face Mountain is world renowned for skiing. The wide expanse of the River with pools, rocks and deep open areas provide exciting trout action. A secluded private beach is a special feature of our property.

Originally constructed in 1840, this home has pine walls, hardwood floors and rustic decor that complement the natural surroundings of the Adirondacks. This is a non-smoking home that has a large eat-in kitchen, a master bedroom with private en-suite, two bedrooms, two and a half baths, a living room and a game room with plenty of space for families and lots of games and puzzles to enjoy. . Roam over five acres that include open meadows, a sunflower field, a pine forest or relax on the covered porch to enjoy the sound and sight of the rushing River.

On this site is a 24 x 26 barn that harkens back to days gone by. A quiet road lends easy access to the property. New York State land directly across from the property protects the privacy of fishermen, swimmers and sunbathers. The shoreline has sandy beach areas and is large enough for setting up a tent, blankets for a picnic and reclining in lounge chairs. The property is along the Ironman Bike course - located just on the Keene/Upper Jay border.

Set in the 46 high peaks, with 14 located in Keene, just 3 miles away. The home is easy access for early morning hikes! Many recreational activities are also nearby for year-round adventure. For fishing, hiking, canoeing, tubing, rock climbing, biking, hunting, golfing, horseback, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and downhill skiing etc.... this is a magical spot!

Whiteface Mountain is 6 miles and Mount Von Hovenberg is 7 miles. Also convenient to the quaint village of Lake Placid and the Olympic Center Complex, just 20 minutes away. International airports at Montreal, Canada, Albany, New York and Burlington Vt, are less than 2 hours away by car. Lake Champlain and the ferries to Vermont less than 40 minutes to the East.

We are happy to invite your 4-legged friends to join you at the River House - they will love it too! We do charge $150 per pet during your stay to accommodate this request. Therefore, when you are booking your reservation, please be sure to accurately reflect your intentions.

Wintervention 2024

Wonderful cabin at a beautiful location. Cabin was nicer and bigger than expected, large bedrooms, and all rooms recently updated and decorated. We understand this was the Owner's first winter rental and we recommend this home anytime of year. Owner's were very helpful and communication was great.

Perfect honeymoon

The river house is beautiful, and in a great location to everywhere we wanted to go. The fire ring above the river made for some wonderful, peaceful evenings. They dogs loved the close access to the river as well. We will be back next time we visit the Adirondacks!

Costa Family Vacation

We had a wonderful stay at River House Magic in July! The house is prefect. Very clean and spacious with beautiful decor. The area is lovely and very private. Our dog Ryder especially loved the beach by the river. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone. Only issue we had was that the internet was spotty at times which made it difficult to use. Thank you, Trish and Mark, for letting us use your house.

Summer in the ADKs

We had a fantastic stay at the river house. Easy check in, the house was clean and comfortable. Very private and peaceful setting, we only saw one other person all week. The river was amazing, my son caught a few brown trout. Morning coffee on the front porch and evening camp fires made for an ideal trip. Close to Keene and Lake Placid as well as a number of hiking trails. Lots of great family time. We hope to be back soon.

Third annual visit

The updates to the upstairs are beautiful, and makes it more useful to everyone staying upstairs. The outdoor shower addition to get the sand off before going inside is fantastic, we used it daily. These were the new features. Our family had yet another fabulous vacation at the River House. Mark and Trish you truly have a gem of a place and we thank you again for sharing it with us.

About the host

Hosted by Trish McSweeney

Mark and I love traveling but prefer to live like locals wherever we go. Sharing our space with you will give you the opportunity to live like locals in the Adirondacks and discover for yourself what makes the Adirondacks so magical.

Why they chose this property

Mark and I had been visiting the Adirondacks for years spending time doing what we love to do when we aren't working: hiking; biking; skiing; kayaking; and paddling. We stayed at the River House our first summer as guests and fell in love with it. When we heard it was for sale we decided to take the plunge to have a place of our own... it has changed our lives. We want to continue to offer this magical property to other travelers to love and enjoy like we do.

What makes this property unique

A beach on the river; fly fishing; hiking; biking; skiing...it's all at your fingertips. There is an outdoor shower to get the sand out of your toes after spending time on the sandy beach.
