This place has truly exceeded our expectations. It has great amenities inside and outside. We were greeted with a beautiful card and snacks. The whole house has beautiful Adirondack touches throughout. We felt completely immersed in the mountains. Tanya communicated with us every step of the way checking in with us to ensure everything was to our liking. We cannot wait to return for a future visit.
