Our property was fully renovated in spring and
summer 2018. It is very clean and supplied with electric power from a new solar and battery storage system with automatic generator back up. The cabin’s running water comes from an artesian well located behind the camp. Hot water for bathing and washing is supplied by an energy efficient on demand hot water heater. Refrigeration and heat are supplied by modern propane appliances. Cooking is on a replica vintage propane stove with a griddle. The interior is decorated with a flair for Adirondack style and all the comforts of home. There is a bathroom,
kitchen, dining and living room, large deck open to the forest and a riverside screened in porch. The deck offers ample seating and there is a charcoal grill near the firepit. The living room has a very comfortable futon couch which sleeps two people. The screened riverside porch is just a few feet from the meandering river and is equipped with a cedar love seat that can easily be transformed into a very comfortable double bed for those who would enjoy sleeping on a private screened porch close to nature. There is also a loft with a double brass bed with a new comfy mattress that sleeps two. You will be able to access Wi-Fi via star link at the cabin.
***Please note that the stairs to the loft are steep and not for young children or those with mobility problems!***
