The '46er' chalet is named for the 46 highest peaks in the Adirondacks, all towering at 4000' or more...
This charming A frame chalet is well-equipped and well-oriented in a quiet, private setting. Tranquil and forested, the property enjoys views of Esther, Lookout and Whiteface Mountains.
At the 46er, you'll find the warmth and comfort of home, brimming with cozy-cabin style and amenities. The chalet has been completely remodeled with hardwood floors, skylights, granite countertops, updated kitchen appliances and a fireplace insert. (You however will not find pillows with vacation messaging or a vast array of souvenir bathing products!)
Nestled on a hillside, our classic A frame looks out on the Stephenson Range and Whiteface Mt., which is just two miles away. This venerable Olympic mountain has been voted the Best Ski Center in the North East, and is typically open from mid-November into April. It has some of the steepest and most challenging terrain in the East, along with an extensive beginner area. ("Bear Den") In the warmer months, Whiteface offers mountain biking, gondola rides and special events. Additional world-class mountain biking trails are accessed from nearby Hardy Road. Enjoy a lovely afternoon on nearby Lake Everest (a tranquil section of the Ausable River, dammed for recreation) where you can canoe, paddle board and swim at the town beach, or visit the spectacular Wilmington Flume Falls. If you love fly-fishing, you can't find a better location. Less than a mile away is the West Branch of the Ausable River which is famous for its wily trout! Wilmington is an outdoor enthusiast's mecca.
Other nearby ventures include taking a drive to the top of Whiteface Mt. on the Whiteface Veterans Memorial Highway, a visit to "Santa's Workshop" children's theme park, or a stop at the Adirondack Wildlife Refuge.
Lake Placid Village is just ten miles away along the Au Sable on one of the most picturesque roads in the Adirondacks. Here you can enjoy shopping, dining, the arts and museums, The Olympic Center, golf, horse shows, movies, festivals, nightlife---all are here in this lively Olympic Village.
Back at the chalet, you'll enjoy the large, wrap around deck featuring Adirondack chairs, and an outdoor dining area with grill.
The hot tub is perfect for a relaxing soak after a day on the hiking or skiing trails. In the evening, enjoy a fire around our outdoor fire pit.
While the chalet can sleep up to 5, please keep in mind that the living space is a total of 800 sq. ft. so guests may find it more comfortable with 4 or fewer occupants. Also note, the roomy loft bedroom is accessed by a somewhat steep staircase, typical for A frame construction. (it also has a railing but no privacy door)
What's extra-special about our place? Simplicity, quiet, great location, pet friendly and HOT TUB! That's what our many guests and return visitors have to say!
**note: we also require that our tenants complete a standard rental agreement with this booking**
