Our cozy apartment attached to our garage can sleep 2 guests and provides a unique western vibe with views of our horses from the bedroom window. The property is roomy and private but also has two main houses and two barns within sight. We are 8 minutes from the Schroon Lake village with the river within walking distance to swim, kayak or tube in. This is also a great location for many of the tourist attractions like hiking, boating, fishing, skiing/snowboarding and snowmobiling. The space We have worked hard to make this rental as enjoyable as we can. You will find this apartment to be VERY user friendly, cozy and clean. We take our guests feedback seriously and have tried our best to make this a home away from home. Here's what you need to know about the place: We CANNOT at this time accept any animals on the property. We love dogs and own several, so in order to protect your animals and our own, we will not be accepting them. The Northway does run near our property. It CAN be heard, but you CANNOT see it. The whole property is surrounded by woods. If you read our reviews, you'll see this has not been an issue with 99% of our guests. You will be left completely alone, however, if you're looking for complete isolation and quiet, this is probably not the property for you. This apartment has a king sized bed in the bedroom that come with sheets and blankets. You will find the kitchen well stocked with the basic cooking essentials along with a stove/oven, refrigerator, microwave, Keurig, flatware, and dishes. There is not a dishwasher. The bathroom has a shower with towels, shampoo and conditioner. The main living room offers a WiFi tv where you can access your favorite online shows and news. There is a couch in the living room with a recliner chair. We will no longer be offering the pull out couch as an option as it is broken. However, if you have a 3rd guest, they are welcome to use the couch, but not to pull it out into a bed. In the summer there are AC window units in the bedroom and living area. In the winter it is well heated. You will have views of our horse corral, horses and turn out pasture. There are 2 main houses on the property as well as a small cabin and two barns. The 40 acres that make up this property are bumped up again state land, making the woods go on for what feels like forever. Interstate 87 does run nearby, but not visible. What is nice about this spot is it's enough off the beaten path, but close enough yet to the village of Schroon as well as a great starting point for most of the attractions--hiking the high peaks, skiing and boating, just to name a few. We do have a few kayaks available if not being used by family or other guests. They are kept by our swimming hole and you are welcome to them. If you do decide to use the kayaks, please paddle UP stream, not down. Swim at your own risk. The ONLY spaces shared with other people or our family would be the swimming hole. PLEASE READ: You are not completely isolated here, but still very private. We are VERY considerate of our guests but if you are looking for complete isolation, this is NOT the right place for you. You will see horses and if you venture out of the apartment into our yards, you may see our family riding horses or running around. You cannot see any main roads, just the driveway. You may also see an occasional dirtbike head into the woods. Horse lessons occasionally happen in the horse arena down the hill from you, feel free to come and watch, we have found our guests love to see the horses work. We offer a grill, fire pit, picnic table, chairs and fire wood for our guests. The only thing we ask is if you use the wood, you leave a tip for my children who have cut, split and stacked it for you. We offer a washer and dryer, it's a stackable unit, however, due to the extreme weather here, the washer is unavailable from November through April. The dryer will continue to work, and there is a laundry mat in the town about 5-8 minutes away. Guest access Bring your bathing suit and travel a short beaten path (or drive your car if not up for the walk) to our private swimming hole in Schroon River. There is access for kayaks, tubes or just lounging in the water. We have a few kayaks available for your use on a first come, first serve basis. If you see them down there, feel free to take them and paddle up river. There are life jackets available as well. View the Schroon falls just at the end of the driveway or take trails to explore a brook and beautiful woods. We are a short 8 min drive into the town. We offer views of our horses from the apartment but no riding or trail rides at this time. We offer a gas grill and firepit during the summer and fall, but not during the winter and early spring. Other things to note While the swimming hole is privately owned, at times it is used by my family and possible other air bnb guests. There is plenty of room to share and a floating dock during the hot season to jump off, please no diving. Swim at your own risk. There are no lifeguards on duty and this is a private area, so you are isolated. There is a small waterfall about 500 yards from the swimming hole. Please do not take the kayaks over this as it's low in the summer and will destroy the kayaks. Please kayak up the river and float back down. You are more than welcome to bring your own kayak. While the horses are well-behaved, we do not offer riding lessons or trail rides at this time. Feel free to pet. Please do not feed. We are a big family who love this property. You may bump into one or all of us as we go up and down the drive or wander around the yard riding our horses. We plan to leave our guests alone unless they want to visit or ask questions. We realize that people come to the ADKS to escape it all and in no way want to be overwhelming. We want to make it clear you will not be roughing it out in the wilderness with no other human contact. You will see humans and animals occasionally on the property so come on by, this is a great spot!
