Meet the Owner(s)

About Us: We are the 6th generation of the original Dunham family that bought the land and built the Green Cottage in 1873-4. Our families still enjoy the plateau and cottage, but when we can't be there, we offer it for rent. We treat renters as guests of the family - the old tradition of the house. We are pleased that the memories we share of our family gatherings on the plateau can now be experienced as well by other families and friendship groups that enjoy the house now through renting.

Why we think you will enjoy staying in Keene Valley: Not only does KV have more trails to the Adirondack Mts. than elsewhere in the Park, but it is one of the earliest settlements of the first summer visitors, so there is lots of history of notable people who have visited or lived here - from clergy, journalists, authors, philosophers, artists and musicians. But beyond its history and wonderful mountain views, it is still a beautiful small town with a great library, three great eating places & good local grocery, gift and hardware stores.

Why our property is special: The Green Cottage is considered a local historic home as it is the 2nd oldest summer cottage built in the High Peaks village of Keene Valley.....and had some notable guests back then, including Mark Twain, Charles Dudley Warner, Charles Ives, Horace Bushnell and Twain's Hartford hiking buddy, Rev. Joseph Twichell - all guests of what used to be called the Hartford Plateau. The combination of its history, mountains, open plateau and campfire, woods with trails, and big porch make it very special.
