The space This beautiful and rustic 3 story home is ideal for a large family or group of friends yet comfortably designed for intimate gatherings as well. The main floor is completely open, great for hanging out together, while other floors of the house offer more quiet and privacy. The screened-in porch is a favorite place for meals, naps, and morning coffee. All the benefits of the Adirondack air without the mosquitos and black flies. During the summer our base price is for a group of four people. The house holds up to 11 comfortably, but please note that each additional guest after 4 people will increase the nightly rate by $50. We really want our place to be accessible to large groups and smaller ones too, and happily, this pricing arrangement is doing just that. We’re glad to have welcomed many new visitors to this incredible region. In the winter our base price is higher and covers 8 people (higher heating costs require higher winter rates) All 4 bedrooms are spacious, sunlit and unique. There is a bathroom on each floor, two with showers, one with a tub. The kitchen has plenty of counter space, a gas range, and an island that seats 4. The main dining area is adjacent. There is also a dining area on the porch. Guests can enjoy a variety of activities without ever needing to get in their cars - the beach and dock are a quick walk away, hiking trails and Garnet Hill Lodge also within walking distance, where you can rent ski equipment if you didn’t bring your own. We love our beautiful Adirondack house, and we spend a lot of time here. Ideal guests will understand and love that this is a rustic house, with all the ups and downs of what that implies. Our house is cleaned thoroughly before and after each guest, but since this house is a well loved home, much like the Velveteen Rabbit, it may appear rough around the edges. You may experience some dust and a few stains, but certainly no more than can be expected of a large rustic cabin in the woods. Stanley and Anne Moses, after whom the property is named, have spent each summer in these woods with the family. In fact, any holidays available to Stan as a professor in NYC were spent here in North Creek with his wife Anne. He was known well in these parts, and loved. It is in his generous spirit that Anne and all of us, his kids, wish to open our doors and share our wonderful home, Moses Second Heaven. Guest access You'll have access to the whole house except for one storage room in the basement. Everything else is yours to enjoy. There are extra lifejackets for water sports, and a few sets of cross country skis and boots for anyone that fits 'em. You are also free to use the fireplace, and fire pit outside. Other things to note Covid has made our rental very popular due to our home’s conveniences and beautiful, remote location. We recognize that plans change unexpectedly during these times, on the part of guests and hosts, and we will strive to accommodate fluctuating circumstances. Unfortunately we can’t accept pet visitors at this time.
