About this property
Delightful Family Retreat on large forested property
Atop a hill with sweeping views of a working thoroughbred horse farm, our five-bedroom family home offers a peaceful Adirondack getaway. The house is set several hundred feet back from Friends Lake Road and surrounded by 160 acres of private family-owned land, this inviting home provides privacy, space, and serenity.
The Space
This spacious home comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests. It features five large, airy bedrooms with cross-ventilation and two full bathrooms. Three bedrooms have queen beds, one has two twin beds, and one (located on the first floor) has a double bed. The lower bedroom is right next to the bathroom. For added comfort, there are window air conditioners in the living room, one upstairs bedroom, and the downstairs bedroom.
The fully equipped kitchen includes a refrigerator, gas oven, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, waffle iron and dishwasher with a multitude of pots and pans for cooking. A separate dining room and a large living room offer plenty of space to gather. Enjoy your morning coffee on the front porch overlooking the mountains and horse pasture, or relax in the backyard with views of a mowed meadow and forest land.
Amenities & Activities
The large backyard is ideal for family fun, complete with a picnic table, barbecue grill, volleyball net, badminton, basketball hoop, croquet, and horseshoes. Inside, you’ll find cable TV and a DVD/VCR player for your downtime.
Guests use the Chestertown Swimming Area on Loon Lake which has a lifeguard and picnic tables. It is three miles away with free parking.
