About this property

Country Roads Take me Home - Ausable River Access on 5 Acres

Discover the allure of Keene, nestled within the Adirondacks High Peaks region, in this comfortable four-bedroom getaway. Nestled just a 15-minute drive from the renowned Whiteface Mountain, 20 minutes from historic Lake Placid village, and serene Mirror Lake, this property offers the perfect base for your outdoor adventures.

As you arrive, you'll be greeted by the inviting porch, where you can sip your morning coffee and plan the day's activities as you listen to the East Branch of the Ausable River. Inside, the fully stocked kitchen, complete with a stove, oven, refrigerator, Weber grill, and all the necessary appliances, allows you to easily prepare delicious meals. Gather around the front porch or step outside to the fire pit and outdoor furniture for alfresco dining under the stars.

Originally constructed in 1840, this recently renovated home has pine siding interior, hardwood floors and rustic decor that complement the natural surroundings of the Adirondacks. Roam over five acres that include open meadows, a sunflower field, iconic barn, and pine forests, or stroll down to a secluded private beach on the East Branch of the Ausable River. A special feature of our property. New York State land directly across from the property protects the privacy of fishermen, swimmers and sunbathers.

When it's time to unwind after the days outdoor activities, cozy up by the wood stove in the living room and enjoy the cable TV, or challenge your family to a game night with the selection of games and toys provided. With the convenience of a washing machine and dryer, you can pack light and focus on making the most of your vacation.

Whether you're seeking a rejuvenating escape or an action-packed getaway, this 4-bedroom vacation home in Keene has everything you need for an unforgettable stay in the Adirondacks.

About the host

Hosted by Trish McSweeney

Host profile image
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 high peaks of the Adirondack Mountains to 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

Six miles to Whiteface Mountain. A private sandy beach on the river; fly fishing; hiking; biking; skiing...it's all at your front door. There is an outdoor shower to get the sand out of your toes after spending time on the beach or exercising in the high peaks.
