About this property
ADK Riverfront Home - Ski Whiteface, Near Lake Placid
The River House is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom chalet that sleeps 8, tucked away in the Ausable Acres in Jay, NY, right on the West Branch Ausable River. This cozy home is on a private, secluded lot, yet close to many of the Adirondack area attractions making it an ideal location to make your home base during your winter getaway in the Adirondacks.
The Ausable Acres community is located in Jay, NY and is not far from several popular local destinations. Whiteface Mountain, the “greatest vertical drop east of the Rockies” is a short drive away. Lake Placid isn’t much farther and has great shopping and dining in addition to all of the Olympic history from hosting twice, including in 1980 for the Miracle on Ice victory. The property is also centrally located between Santa’s Workshop, the Covered Bridge in Jay, High Falls Gorge, Ausable Chasm & Mt. Von Hoevenberg.
The main floor consists of a well-stocked kitchen (pots, pans, silverware, cooking utensils, drinking glasses, plates, mugs, wine glasses, bakeware, etc.) with a dishwasher and a brand new fridge, an open living room with a 70-inch 4K TV (please note the wood stove isn't functioning), a sunroom with a small dinette as well as some rocking chairs and a small sofa, a king bedroom with a TV and a full bathroom. The 2nd floor was completely remodeled this year with brand new flooring in both bedrooms (queen bed with a TV in the first and a queen over queen bunk in the second) along with a fully remodeled bathroom with a massive walk-in shower and jack & jill sinks. Please note, the wood burning stove cannot be operated as multiple chimney sweeps indicated it would be a fire hazard to use until considerable repairs are made.
As we are a member of the Ausable Acres Property Owner's Association, you will have access to cross-country skiing/snowshoeing trails right within the neighborhood. You will also find ample opportunities to do winter hiking, ice fishing, snowmobiling, dog sled rides and more in the surrounding area.
We love this home and are excited to share it with others to experience everything it has to offer!

Why they chose this property
This home is a rare find, situated in a remote wooded setting on the Ausable River away from the hustle & bustle, yet a short enough drive away from local area attractions like Lake Placid, Whiteface, High Falls Gorge, Ausable Chasm, Covered Bridge in Jay, Santa's Workshop and more, along with endless hiking, cross country skiing and water activity opportunities.
The Ausable River in the backyard is a setting you have to see in person - it will make you want to come back over and over. Whether it's the wildlife you may encounter (we've seen bald eagles, otters, pileated woodpeckers, deer and more in our backyard), the fishing opportunities or the peaceful sounds of the water flowing past, you can't go wrong spending time on this property.
