About this house rental

Whiteface Mountain is 6 miles and Mount Von Hovenberg is 7 miles. Also convenient to the quaint village of Lake Placid and the Olympic Center Complex, just 20 minutes away. Enjoy over 1250 feet of private access on the famous East branch of the AuSable River while you stay in this newly renovated 1840's Adirondack home. The East Branch of the Ausable River is world-renowned for its fly-fishing enjoyment and White Face Mountain is world renowned for skiing. The wide expanse of the River with pools, rocks and deep open areas provide exciting trout action. A secluded private beach is a special feature of our property.

Originally constructed in 1840, this home has pine walls, hardwood floors and rustic decor that complement the natural surroundings of the Adirondacks. This is a non-smoking home that has a large eat-in kitchen, a master bedroom with private en-suite, two bedrooms, two and a half baths, a living room and a game room with plenty of space for families and lots of games and puzzles to enjoy. . Roam over five acres that include open meadows, a sunflower field, a pine forest or relax on the covered porch to enjoy the sound and sight of the rushing River.

On this site is a 24 x 26 barn that harkens back to days gone by. A quiet road lends easy access to the property. New York State land directly across from the property protects the privacy of fishermen, swimmers and sunbathers. The shoreline has sandy beach areas and is large enough for setting up a tent, blankets for a picnic and reclining in lounge chairs. The property is along the Ironman Bike course - located just on the Keene/Upper Jay border.

Set in the 46 high peaks, with 14 located in Keene, just 3 miles away. The home is easy access for early morning hikes! Many recreational activities are also nearby for year-round adventure. For fishing, hiking, canoeing, tubing, rock climbing, biking, hunting, golfing, horseback, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and downhill skiing etc.... this is a magical spot!

International airports at Montreal, Canada, Albany, New York and Burlington Vt, are less than 2 hours away by car. Lake Champlain and the ferries to Vermont less than 40 minutes to the East.

We are happy to invite your 4-legged friends to join you at the River House - they will love it too! We do charge $150 per pet during your stay to accommodate this request. Therefore, when you are booking your reservation, please be sure to accurately reflect your intentions.

Overall we were very happy with our stay. You can hear the river from the house and is a short walk to it. The house was cozy and perfect for the four of us. Awesome dark skies at night. Everyone in town was very nice. The food at the Ice jam inn and restaurant was the best we tried in the area.

We loved staying at this comfy home in Keene/Upper Jay. The house was very clean, well equipped, and we felt like we were in a homey cabin in the woods. We were there for hiking and it was well situated to trails both in Lake Placid and Wilmington, and everywhere in between! I loved sitting out on the front porch in the morning with my coffee and in the evening with a glass of wine and listening to the Ausable go by. When we walked across the road to the picnic area and saw the river and the beach, all we could think was "we have got to bring our grandchildren here!!" Trish is excellent about communications and sharing info on the surrounding area! We can't wait to come back!!

This is our 8th stay at the river house, and we hope it’s a tradition that continues for many more years. Trish and Mark have put so much love into the property, the continued improvements mix the charm of the original house with modern convenience. The house is clean and filled with everything you may need on your vacation including clean comfortable bedding, all kitchen needs, a gas grill and board games. We enjoyed spending the days at the river and the evenings around the game table.

What a beautiful home! It was more spacious than we expected and filled with ADK character and charm. Everyone in our family loved hanging out by the Ausable, exploring the shore and tubing. A very special place!

We really enjoyed your property, beautiful view, house, river. We wish we were able to bring a 9th person. Maybe in your listing, when it says pet friendly, mention that there's a fee per pet and right away mention that the dogs cannot get in the furniture or bedding. We brought our pet because he is a support dog, but the conditions you posted are difficult to follow. We got the email saying that a couple days prior to it. There was no way we could leave him in a kennel then, and for the money that we were charged to bring him, we could've gotten a nice place for him to stay. It will just give future guest an idea of how pet friendly your place is. How can you relax and change the way you and your pet live? it was stressful. But overall, you are so very blessed to have such a beautiful place. We are even thinking on getting a property around there. It was a wonderful experience, except for the fact that we don't consider it "pet friendly". Thanks for letting us stay at your beautiful place. We enjoyed reading past guest's comments, the notebook didn't have any pages left to write on. May God continue blessing you with the opportunity of having such a peaceful dream.

There is so much right about this house: the cabiny comfort, the quiet, the river, the fire pit, the grill and the location near so many good hikes. We loved it and I hope we can come back. It got hot but the fans provided made it comfortable. The Wi-Fi is spotty and slow but that only encouraged more reading.
