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.
