*This is not a full time rental property, we as a family often spend our weekends/vacation time at the cabin when guests are not booked*

**While we unfortunately do not allow our guests to bring their pets, we have family dogs that sometimes stay at the cabin with us. There is a cleaning service that comes between stays, but those with severe dog allergies may prefer to stay elsewhere**

THE CABIN ITSELF
Our cabin has an open concept kitchen/living room area. The kitchen area has a 4 burner stove, microwave, toaster, coffee machine and a beautiful wooden trestle table. The living room has a television (equipped with Roku), a secretary style desk, and comfortable seating (armchair, Adirondack style futon, rocking chair with foot rest). The highlight of the common area are two large windows that look out to a mountain view.

One bedroom has a full mattress and the other bedroom a bunk bed (top mattress is twin size, bottom mattress is full size). Additionally, the futon in the common area folds out into a full size mattress. Therefore, the cabin can physically sleep up to 6 adults (however the space is probably most comfortable for up to 4 guests).

Outside we have a large front deck with plenty of seats and a BBQ grill.

For those visiting us in the winter months, we have a carport to keep your vehicle snow free!

***The basement of the cabin is not a finished basement, please be mindful of this when staying at the cabin***

Swimming & Other Outdoor Activities: During the summer months (mid-June to early September) Donnelly Beach is open at Minerva Lake (~5 minute drive) with an on-duty lifeguard and a snack stand that serves hot food.

You can also ice fish on the lake if you have your own equipment.

CLOSEST COMMUNITIES:
Hamlet of Olmstedville (~5 minute drive): If you need to quickly resupply on any essentials there is Sullivan's General Store open everyday (7am-7pm). Olmstedville is also home to the Owl at Twilight, a small fine dining restaurant (open seasonally). The food has always been delicious, but service sometimes on the slower side.

Hamlet of North Creek (~15 minute drive): This is the town where Gore mountain is located. Your closest Tops Grocery store is here and a Walgreens pharmacy. We recommend Hey Days for Pizza and Izzy's Market & Deli for artisanal sandwiches. There's also a Stewarts Shops located here, open from 5am-11pm, so if you need snacks for an early morning hike or are craving a late night snack this would be your best bet as other places will be closed.

Village of Schroon Lake (~20 minute drive): The village of Schroon Lake is the largest of the nearby communities. You can find another Tops grocery store here. During the warmer months you can rent a motorboat for the day at the Schroon Lake Marina, and there is also a public beach for swimming.
