A recent guest shared this message during their stay, "The house is beautiful and challenges our motivation to be outside." We totally get it, happens to us too. Lake gazing never gets old!

4 spacious and well appointed bedrooms:
Main floor Suite (king): includes a custom fireplace, walk in closet, private screened porch and full bathroom with a walk in shower with separately controlled dual shower heads. Many of our reservations are for just one couple and this main floor suite is such a relaxing space. We really feel like we are 'away' when we are up here.
Bedrooms 2 & 3: The second floor features two beautiful guest suites (queen bed), each with a generously sized walk in closet (built in shelving, ample hanging space and hangers) and an ensuite full bathroom. Private from each other and the rest of the home. The 2nd floor loft lounge area and balcony, combined with these bedrooms makes for a really lovely space for guests.
Bunk Room: Lower level bunk room is huge and boasts three bunks (each is a twin over full bed) with an adjacent full bath.
These are 4 real bedrooms, not just a space with a bed added.

In the winter, you are steps away from walking right onto Mirror Lake for some winter wonderland adventure and in the summer grab one of our lake floats and head to the sandy beach or pop in along the way. 15 minutes to Whiteface ski and walking distance to Olympic oval & rinks.
The kitchen is well stocked for baking, grilling and family meal prep and includes a 6 burner gas stove with two ovens, an island that seats 5, and an adjacent screened porch with a propane grill and outdoor dining area.

A large 8 seat dining area completes the main level.
