The Adirondacks has to be visited to be appreciated. It is unlike anywhere else on the East Coast. If you like vacationing at a place where time slows down and the you are devoid of all distractions, this is it. This is the ideal setting for creating family memories.

What makes this property unique

The natural beauty, the beautiful summer weather, the kind of activities that require total family involvement. Waking up in the morning to the call of the loons and walking down to the pier to drink your coffee. Looking at the stars at night around a campfire.
