Rustic Adirondack Retreat, 5 Bedrooms, 6 Baths Near Gore Mt & Garnet Hill
Authentic Adirondack Charm, Comfort & Family Memories Come experience the Adirondacks the way they’re meant to be enjoyed — in a comfortable, welcoming family home with true rustic Adirondack charm.
This is not a brass-and-glass, modern hotel-style getaway. It’s a home with character, warmth, and the relaxed feeling of a place where you can truly settle in, kick back, and enjoy time together. Our goal is to preserve the charm of the original Cape-style home while providing the comforts families want during their Adirondack vacation.
The home has recently received a deep cleaning and numerous updates, including fresh paint, new linens and curtains. There is updated flooring on the main level, ground level and second level decks, and the second floor allows for total privacy with each bedroom boasting its own private full bath.
Comfort for Everyone Each bedroom features its own private bathroom, vaulted ceilings with ceiling fans, individual wall heaters so everyone can choose their own comfort level, and sliding glass doors leading directly to a second-level deck with beautiful views overlooking the Hudson River.
The home also includes:
Wrap-around decking
Screened porches
Washer and dryer
Dishwasher
Wi-Fi
Cable TV
Large yard for outdoor games and family activities
Fire pit for relaxing around a nightly campfire
Dog-friendly accommodations with prior approval
The second floor brings fresh, updated bedrooms and bathrooms while still maintaining the home's original Adirondack personality. The bedrooms feature comfortable room-sized rugs, helping preserve the home's classic character while keeping it inviting and practical until new flooring is decided on and installed.
A Family Home in the Adirondacks This property has been a work in progress, with renovations continuing as we improve and update the home while staying true to its original charm.
Most importantly, we want to keep this home comfortable, authentic, and reasonably priced for families who want to enjoy everything the Adirondacks have to offer without spending a fortune on accommodations.
You won’t find a cookie-cutter hotel experience here — and that’s exactly the point.
This is a place where you can make breakfast together, let the kids enjoy the yard, gather around the fire pit at night, open the doors to the deck and take in the Hudson River views, and simply enjoy being together.
We are especially grateful for the returning guests who appreciate the home's unique style and have made it part of their Adirondack traditions. We hope you’ll become one of them.
Come stay, slow down, and make yourself at home in the Adirondacks.

Very clean, close to mountain! Kitchen: didn't need anything that wasn't there. Host was easy to communicate with and the house for as big as it is was easy to pack up. Would definitely recommend.
Was a great place for us to gather for a wknd. Big enough so all had a separate space and bathroom. The screened porch was great as one day was a washout!
Comfortable home, lots of room, short drive to Gore, very happy with accomodation. Only issue black fly situation in house maybe due to change in temperature and some unexpected warm weather, overall would stay again, Nice communication with host, very considerate, thank you.
While the house could use some updating, we found it to be clean. It is very close to Gore for skiing. It snowed a lot before our trip and while we were there, but the owner has a plow service and the driveway was taken care of. You will be hard pressed to find another house with so many bedrooms and bathrooms.

Comfortable and Quaint!
We stayed at this house during during mid-spring to visit nearby relatives. During our stay we had 3 families with us, all having their own bedroom AND bathroom (who can't appreciate that!?). The house is charming and has a very country feel. Across the street is the glorious Hudson River with several outdoorsy warm weather activities. We loved staying here and would stay again in a heartbeat.

Thank you so much for your review. We hope to be able to have you stay again in the future. Very glad you enjoyed your stay.
Great quiet place on the river, big yard outside for kids and pets and plenty of room for large families to sleep and having 6 bathrooms is a bonus. Surprisingly, with venturing north or south there's a lot to do. Farmers market, decent restaurants, Oscars is a must for the bacon as well as the Deli at the mini mart subs, rubs, meats are awesome. Nice hidden gem in the country.

Thank you for your review. I am glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you return again in the future.
Thank you again,

Property was great as it had bathrooms for each bedroom so we never had to wait to do our morning or evening routine. 3 year old enjoyed running around in the grass and the rest of us enjoyed the view from the deck. Couldn’t get the internet to work but that didn’t bother us.
Perfect location when skiing at Gore and neighbours to rafting companies so we are tempted to come back during that season. Casual and relaxing. I needed more instruction on the DVD and VHS system though.
This is the perfect location for skiing at Gore Mountain and exploring the area. It's a large well-equipped house with plenty of room for two families, including four teenagers and two dogs. We loved that every bedroom had its own bathroom. The living room and dining room were spacious and comfortable for everyone to gather after a day of skiing. This is an older house with lots of character and home comforts. We had a great getaway!

Thank you so much for your review. Very glad you enjoyed your stay. Happy 2020.

We were 2 families with a total amount of 5 kids. Everything was perfect: a number of rooms & bathrooms and other amenities. One tiny disappointing thing: no replacement for burned-out electric bulbs of the right diameter and missing dish soap and dishwasher tablets.
House is situated 7-8 minutes drive from Gore mt.
Great home base for hiking and going up a little farther north to see the full eclipse.
Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms! Place is as advertised - no frills just like the listing says “true rustic olde charm and not the brass and glass.”
We had issues with the heat and woke up to a 52 degree house every day, but the lister told us how to reset the furnace and we made it work for us.

Glad you enjoyed your stay. Very sorry about the heat issue but I must say it was a pleasure to work with guests that are reasonable and u derstand things happen. We were dependant on the heating svc company to correct the issue but thank you for your understanding.

The location was just what we were looking for. The house needs some minor repairs. Having five bedrooms each with its own bathroom was great. We got there Friday afternoon and had no problem getting into the house. Our phones all worked which was a very important. We were there on a hunting trip. I had my two sons and one of my grandsons with me. All of us were happy with the house and plan to use it again next year. Didn't get any deer but it was still a great time.
Kevin was Great...
When we arrived I had a question and he replied within 15 minutes..
The house is as described except the listing had an image of a wood burning stove which was removed. Kevin explained that they had to upgrade the system for insurance purposes which was totally understandable.
The home is well located to North Creek and Gore.
Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed for dinners after skiing. The dinning table was accommodated our party of 11 and plenty of couch space in the living room. Beds were very comfortable.
A memorable stay for sure.
Thanks

Was a pleasure. The house was left in great shape and would rent to this awesome group any time.
Comfortable and good location - needs a deep clean
Very rustic, good for large groups. Very nice feature was each room having it’s own heat and bathroom. The beds were comfortable and everything worked. The bathrooms were new and nice. Somethings to be aware of are that the upstairs is somewhat under construction and there are just carpet remnants over the subfloor. Also very dusty and dead flies in most of the window sills and lots of live flies. Everything needs to be wiped down, baseboards, kitchen cabinets, windowsills. That being said, we still enjoyed our stay. Was close to Gore mountain for skiing and Kevin the property manager got back to me immediately.

Thank you for you comments. The secon floor has the room size rugs as yes since the remodel or 2nd floor addition, the wall to wall carpets have not yet been placed. The Adirondacks is famous for over night lady bug or the housefly. They seem to just appear. The home is serviced by orkin on a regular basis since 2010 and with in the last 3 weeks a huge expensive sealing of the basement and crawlspace were completed by Orkin to enure no beatles or pests will be keeping company.
Thanks for your review and for leaving the house in good shape.
Glad you enjoyed your stay.

We found the kitchen and main dining area had not been cleaned and some beds not made. Toilets had also not been cleaned. The bedrooms and bathrooms in general were quite comfortable.
We did discover the owner does not live in the area and was unaware of the conditions. He was grateful for the information and wants to make it right. He did return some of the cleaning fee since things were not as he had assumed.
Once we dealt with the issues that we could correct, the remainder of our stay was fine. Great location, a bathroom and exterior deck off each bedroom, plenty of sitting area downstairs and a spacious kitchen. Lots of parking.
It was a good base from which we conveniently paddled several lakes in the area.

Thank you again for contacting me. We struggled for a few weeks with dependable housekeeping and not being in the area, so we were thankful for your call. We are thankful you were able to enjoy your week and enable us to make the needed changes with housekeeping issues. We have years of repeat customers so the information provided is important.
Thank you again,
Biggest problem:
- Wifi didn't work for the first 24hrs! there was no cell phone signal either. the house phone is not functioning either. It is like an isolated island with no means to connect with outside. Sometimes the text message come thru.
- We had to drive for a few min to access cell phone signal to contact property manager Kevin.
- Kevin was helpful and did his due diligence. the internet is back on after around 24 hrs.
minor problem:
- not super clean
- the water temp is unstable
Great:
- affordable
- Spacious
- close to gore mountain

About the host
Hosted by Kevin Ouellette
Why they chose this property
This property was bought originally to run as a bed and breakfast. Do to changes in the family it was not possible to make this dream come true. Instead it was decided to open up the second level and do a major remodel job. The hope was to provide a family getaway home people could vacation at with comfort. It does not have the brass ans sassy of today's modern upscale rental but more the charm and history of an Adirondack family home. We want families to come and enjoy the space. we just ask that is treated with respect.
What makes this property unique
The benefits of this home is its location and set up. large enough for a large family or two or three small ones. This home is also cozy enough for that couple to get away. we are close to most major attractions, yet far enough away to escape the hustle and bustle.
