Date of Stay: September 2020
Posted On: 10/4/20 by David C.
“It was a beautiful house a group of 8 stayed there the end of September. The color of the leaves was peak and the owner was great. The care taker was so friendly and the house was in a prefect spot to travel around the Adirondacks. This place must be on your must stay at list. Thank you so much. David Crance”
Owner's Response
