A huge deck with grill and screened in porch make it perfect for entertaining the whole family. The upstairs boasts three bedrooms that share a bath, and the house is bathed in sunlight within the tree top canopy. If you MUST work, the upstairs bedroom/office desk lets your spread out, and get it done in the natural light.

The Lake House is on a hill with a considerable driveway and we never know how much snow we're going to get in the winter, so if you are visiting in the winter you will need a Four Wheel Drive Vehicle and boots! There is a picture in the listing. Please email us with any questions.

Guests have the use and exclusive access to the entire main house including 4 bedrooms, two baths, open kitchen/dining room/living room, Open deck and screened in porch, and unfinished basement with water toys. The community waterfront is a 4 minute walk away, or drive, or bike. Guests have use of the beach, lounge chairs, picnic tables, docks, swim raft, fire pit, and boat ramp. Boat slip for your boat with prior arrangement: Maximum 19' long and 8' wide.

This home is close to the western access to the Adirondack High Peaks region for hiking and climbing, and endless lakes and rivers to explore by paddle, sail, or power boat. Winter sports include skiing, x-country, snowshoe, and snowmobile.

Just 24 miles away is Lake Placid, home of "The Miracle on Ice", and all 1980 Winter Olympic Sports Venues for countless World Cup Tour Competitions.
