Summary: Stayed here with my husband, my mom, and my two kids, ages 6 and 9. The property is beautiful and secluded and the brook running behind the house is perfect for the kids to play in. The photos don’t really do it justice! We went to The Wild Center in Tupper Lake, Ausable Chasm, Whiteface Veterans Memorial Highway and Lake Placid, so this property is not too far from some great attractions. There are fans and AC, so we were very comfortable. Perfect stay!
