Short family vacation

This older house has been updated and modernized to be very comfortable. We enjoyed the area -- went north to Tupper Lake (Wild Center), a little west to meet friends for dinner at Oxbow Inn, and enjoyed local craft fair and mini-golf. Host responded quickly to any questions we had.

The house was very family friendly. We used the grill and fire pit a lot. Everything worked out well. Highly recommend a visit to Fawn Lake, nice hiking and the lake itself is the nicest I have ever see!
