Cozy Adirondack Cabin w/ Deck [~15 minutes to Gore Mountain]

*This is not a full-time vacation rental property, we as a family often spend our weekends/vacation time up at the cabin when guests are not booked*

**While we unfortunately do not allow our guests to bring their pets, we have family dogs that sometimes stay at the cabin with us. There is a cleaning service that comes between stays, but those with severe dog allergies may prefer to stay elsewhere**

THE CABIN ITSELF
Our cabin has an open concept kitchen/living room area. The kitchen area has a 4 burner stove, oven, microwave, toaster, drip coffee machine and a beautiful wooden trestle table. The living room area has a television (equipped with Roku), a secretary style desk, and comfortable seating (armchair, Adirondack style futon, rocking chair with foot rest). The highlight of the common area are two large windows that look out to a mountain view.

One bedroom has a full mattress and the other bedroom a bunk bed (top mattress is twin size, bottom mattress is full size). Additionally, the futon in the common area folds out into a full size mattress. Therefore, the cabin can physically sleep up to 6 adults (however the space is probably most comfortable for up to 4 guests).

Outside we have a large front deck with plenty of seating. On the deck we have a BBQ grill, a griddle, and a firepit table. Propane is provided for each.

In the backyard we have a traditional campfire pit with seating (wood not provided).

For those visiting us in the winter months, we have a carport to keep your vehicle snow free!

***The basement of the cabin is not a fully finished basement, please be mindful of this when staying at the cabin and going downstairs if choosing to use our washer and dryer for laundry***
