This 1880's vintage summer cottage is the perfect romantic getaway.
The original studio of a Keene Valley artist, it is located on a
secluded and elevated spot with marvelous views of Spread Eagle,
Giant, Green, and Hopkins Mountains. The most stunning feature is a
huge covered porch (not screened) that looks out on the mountains and
functions as an outdoor dining room with a view. The cottage has one
bedroom with a double bed; a kitchen equipped with a stove,
refrigerator, microwave, toaster, china, silverware, and other
utensils; one bathroom with a shower/bath; and an indoor living/dining
room with a stone fireplace, wicker furniture, and a pullout couch for
two. A detached one-room cabin with a screened porch (perfect for
sleeping in the summer) is available by option, at additional cost.
The summer cottage is about 800 yards from the nearest structure, a
Summer Camp that shares its driveway but is not within sight of the
cottage. Even so, it is only a short walk to the village of Keene
Valley, which is located in the heart of the High Peaks region of the
Adirondack Mountains. The Garden, one of the largest and most popular
trailheads in the Adirondacks, is a 20-minute walk from the cottage
along the same road.
Trails from the Garden lead to Johns Brook Lodge and up the Johns
Brook Valley to the Great Range and Mount Marcy. Many other trailheads
are close by. Rock climbing, canoeing, mountain biking, swimming,
tennis, golf, and fishing are also available in the area. Lake Placid,
with its Olympic athletic facilities, competitions, restaurants,
shopping, lake access, historic sites, and world-class horse shows, is
a 25-minute drive.
