Hello and welcome!
I am Stefanie Cox. My husband Richard and I love the Adirondacks. We enjoy hiking, canoeing, visiting waterfalls with our three dogs. We used to do a lot of canoe camping in our younger days. We call this "glamping." Refrigeration, a/c, high-speed WiFi, and an oven are wonderful luxuries... Good news! We will be fully solar powered soon… hopefully in September!
We tried to imagine, if we were returning from a week-long canoe trip, what would we want? A hot shower, a washer and dryer, internet connection, and a good hot meal. We are “living the dream in the Adirondacks,” and we are happy to share with others.
We have enjoyed visiting the Adirondacks for many years. My father was born in Keene and grew up in Keene Valley. We still have family in the area.
We love the Westport-Wadhams-Whallonsburg-Essex area. The people are warm and friendly, creative and outdoorsy. We find people who enjoy hiking, crafting, gardening, making music... The Grange Hall and Whitcomb's Arts Studio in Whallonsburg are great places to meet people interested in art, jam sessions, and films. Classical music lovers will enjoy incredible performances at the Meadowmount School of Music during their summer program, as well as around the community (roughly June-August). Live theater performances are available right in the Westport train station building! You can find yoga in the park, Adirondack history exploration in Elizabethtown is great for a rainy day at the Adirondack History Museum.
Check the What's Happening in Westport FB page for local current events. When you make a reservation, I will send you a virtual “packet” of information about places to go, local events, restaurants, etc. We look forward to meeting you.
