Host profile image
My husband and I built (literally) this home in 2019 and it was complete April 2020. We grew up together in the Adirondacks. My husband builds homes and I am a Physics teacher and manage the Adirondack Retreat in Athol, NY near Lake George and Gore Mountain. We have 6 children and 4 grandbabies.

We love to travel with our children and we love to travel without them all too! :)
