Rocky River Chalet is an immaculately elegant, charming and private cabin with 2 bedrooms, a sleeping loft with trundle bed and 2 full bathrooms, on 10 private acres along the West Branch of the Ausable River. Rocky River Chalet is 3 miles from the Whiteface Olympic ski center, near High Peaks hiking trails and has 600 feet of river front, prime territory for your avid fly fisherman. The river is a pleasant walk away through the cabin's wooded yard, and a relaxing spot to take your morning coffee, or watch the shades of evening draw on. A fully equipped kitchen and a washer-dryer, complement high speed, wireless internet access and an Entertainment Center equipped with HDTV, satellite TV, and a DVR featuring Pandora, Netflix, laptop projection on the flat screen TV, making Rocky River Chalet your home-away-from-home in the Adirondacks. The master bedroom has a queen-sized bed, across the hall from a guest room with queen bed (which is arriving around Oct 1st), while in the sleeping loft we'll be replacing the futon with the trundle bed. No other houses are visible from the property, and a spacious wrap around porch surveys the yard, which is ringed by birches, hardwoods and cedar. A large camp fire pit sets the rendezvous point for family gatherings and picnics. Runners, cyclists, cross-country skiers and hikers will run out of time, long before they run out of stunning mountain vistas to enrich their exercise, which is a major reason Ironman is held here every July. When your busy vacation day fades to dusk, there are several fine restaurants within a mile or so of Rocky River Chalet, and if you want to make a full night of it, the Olympic Village of Lake Placid beckons, ten miles away through one of the most beautiful drives in America, through the Wilmington notch along the Ausable River. Don't forget your camera, as wildlife sightings include bobcat, red fox, fisher, the harmless Adirondack black bear and moose. If you don't see any of them, Guests are welcome to visit the nearby Adirondack Wildlife Refuge and Rehabilitation Center, where friends and family can meet the resident wolves, and see educational demonstrations with non- releasable birds of prey, like Great Horned Owls, Barred Owls, Screech Owls, Peregrine Falcons, Red-Tailed Hawks, and a crazy raven named Abie the Fishman, who was rehabilitated, but hangs around to entertain visitors. You can even use their canoes annd kayaks on Lake Everest, at no extra charge. If you need a guide to take you hiking or fishing, we will line one up for you. This is a relaxing cabin, where you will put your busy careers on hold, spend quality time with friends and family, and renew yourselves, surrounded by the incomparable beauty of the Adirondack Mountains. House-trained dogs are welcome, as long as owner brings crate, and agrees that dog will be crated, whenever dog's owner is not in the house. Absolutely no smoking indoors. Rocky River Chalet has a minimum 3 night stay, and is only available from Friday afternoon, Oct. 8th to May 15th. New York State sales tax and Essex County bed tax apply. |
