Fondly known as "Chateau Versailles" this large home sits on a hill on Spring Street with gorgeous Lake Champlain and Green Mountain views.

I work with SailADKs as first mate on a Catalina 30 out of the Port Henry marina during the season so sailing lessons, cruises, and stay/sail packages can be arranged. Private photography lessons and experiences are also available upon request. I reside in the house and am generally available 24/7 unless I am traveling or sailing. I can help with suggestions for the area and in the future plan on doing boat tours of Lake Champlain. I have an adorable American Eskimo pup in residence with me whose name is Rocky. he is very friendly, well behaved, and playful. Spring Street is often referred as the nicest street in Port Henry with friendly helpful neighbors. Many locals walk this street for exercise daily and it is a very pet friendly neighborhood. It is a five minute walk into town where restaurants, pharmacy, bank, and library can be found. It is a 2 minute drive to our great marina and beach.At the present time, restaurants are somewhat limited in town but there are many great restaurants and breweries within a 20 mile radius. Port Henry is the gateway to the Adirondacks and is situated directly on Lake Champlain. It is 45 minutes to Lake Placid, Plattsburgh, and Burlington on some of the most beautiful scenic roads in the country. In winter, multiple ski areas in both NY and Vermont are within an hours drive, Gore, Whiteface, Killington, Stowe, to name a few. Many of my guests are avid hikers and rock climbers of the 46ers in the ADK, as well as motorcycle and bike riders. There are some superb driving roads in the area as well as many local trails with incredible views. Montreal is only 2 hours away. NYC approximately five-six. Amtrak stops at a station in Port Henry, about a 15 minute walk from house. The train runs from NYC to Montreal both ways and is referred to as the "Adirondack". As of the current date, early July 2021, guests are required to provide proof of vaccination. I myself have been fully vaccinated for several months
