"We had a great time at your awesome home. It was more than my expectations. Pictures don't do it justice. The weather was great and with the leaves changing made it even more magnificent. We saw deer, turkey and a coyote in the meadow. It was a trip we will certainly cherish. I look forward to returning soon." - Lenhartsville, PA

My friends and family had a great time! The house was perfect for our extended Ironman race weekend, and the hosts were especially accommodating with the check in process.
We had a great stay at this beautiful cabin! It was tucked away and private, but still very close to all the activities we had planned. There was plenty of space for our group of 8 and we would highly recommend this to any large group!
The house and property was exactly what we were looking for to relax and recharge while exploring the Adirondacks. There was room to spread out, cook and eat meals together, relax in the hot tub and by the fire.
Outstanding ADK mountain house that checks all the boxes - space, views, privacy, wild life and all the amenities necessary to enjoy the high peaks region.
The house was super nice, clean, and fun. It has a hot tub that was super fun. Every room was neat and clean, no complains. It was well decorsted and has a nice fireplace. I love this place so much ans reccomnd it. 10/10 would stay here again.
The property is so close to so many great hikes including White Face Mountain. The home was beautiful and had enough space for my party of 10. We thoroughly enjoyed the large plot of land it was on as well.
With a gorgeous view of Whiteface, this house lives up to the listing. It is spacious, clean and has a nice flat yard for kids. There are plenty of bathrooms and a nice screened in porch for bug free eating.

It's the second time we rent this cottage for the winter schoolbreak and it's perfect for our group of three families.
Nice view of Whiteface from the spa, big table for dining and playing board games, very good linen for sleeping.
The house was sparkling clean and well furnished. The very big mud room is pretty convenient.

Why they chose this property
Our family is very close, and we wanted a place suitable for large family gatherings located in an area known for outdoor recreation. We knew this home was right for us as soon as we saw it, combining a beautiful meadow, views of Whiteface Mountain, an extensive trail system through the woods behind the house, the Ausable River close to hear from the front porch, and easy access to the Whiteface Mountain ski center.
What makes this property unique
This home is ideal as a serene escape from the rigors of busy lives, an accommodating rendezvous for large family gatherings, or as a comfortable base camp to explore the Adirondacks. The hot tub offers solace after the rigors of skiing an Olympic mountain, hiking one of the '46ers', fly fishing in a renowned stretch of trout habitat, or simply enjoying the company of family and friends in the sheltered peace of this beautiful property.
