Peace and tranquility of the country but only 12 minutes from downtown Plattsburgh, shopping/restaurant strip and very long Plattsburgh City public beach.

The 270 degree rocky waterfront on our property can be reached either by walking the grassy slopes, or using the 2 flights of stairs. There are two rocky beaches/swimming locations on the property - the north side and the east side. The east side has a rocky shoreline, and a dock, with deeper waters ideal for teens and adults or little ones if parents are in the water with them. The east side waterline also has a picnic table and large parasol at your disposal to enjoy a meal with the waterline right next to you. The north side rocky beach/shoreline on our property has much shallower waters ideal for younger children of age 5+ who can typically get in and out of the water easily by themselves if they have the right footwear for the rocky beach consisting mostly of small rocks. Near the east side rocky shoreline there is a Solo Stove firepit for you to roast marshmallows or hotdogs. On the north side there is a picnic table and fire pit. Of note, sturdy water shoes [or something like them] are recommended while swimming so please bring these along with you to optimize your enjoyment while in the waters adjacent to the property. You also have access to a paddle boat. Canoes, kayaks, and boats can be rented nearby [we can help/guide you with this if required].

Besides dipping yourself into the lake waters off either the North or East rocky shorelines at the edge of the property there is also the outdoor [chlorine] hot tub you can dip yourself into. Often in the summer we keep this as a small pool for the kids (minimal heat), or we can adjust to adult temperatures for a relaxing soak in a steaming traditional hot tub. Upon prior notice the temperature can be adjusted as you like. Typically, we turn the heat down in the summer to allow a cool place to relax while enjoying the spectacular views of the lake. In the colder months we can adjust the temperature to accommodate adults or children.

In addition, the Plattsbugh public beach, one of the biggest fresh water beaches in the country, is only a 10 min drive from the house.

The house is located on a dead-end branch of a dead-end street, creating a quiet place to play, ruminate, and relax.

We do live on the premises [upper 2 floors of the main house], as such the grounds are shared with us, and any guests in the other two units at LoZa House. This unit is located behind the garage and you have your own separate exterior entrance. The Coastal unit contains a queen Murphy bed [sleeps 2], 2 queen sleeper sofa [sleeps 2]. The kitchenette has a small stove, bar fridge, dishwasher, microwave, a coffee machine, and blender. There is also a propane gas BBQ for your use. The laundry area has a full size washer and dryer.

The bedroom has a fold up desk so you can work in secluded place away from the activity in the rest of the unit.

You are free to use the large HD TV [with Netflix and Disney+], and electric gas fireplace. Toys for young children (ages 3-7) can be arranged with prior notice.

Your private bathroom contains a shower, toilet, and sink.
There is a large driveway for kids to play on as well as a playground containing a two-story play structure with 3 swings, 3 slides, and a small climbing wall. These areas are shared with our kids and the other two vacation rentals at LoZa House.
The hot tub is also shared with us [mostly our kids], of course, we will give you priority of use of while you are staying with us to optimize your vacation experience while you are here at LoZa House.
We have a young golden doodle who will love you to death [if you let him], and two young children of early grade school age. We live on the upper two floors above the Adirondack floor. Although the play area is also shared with the dog (named Leone - meaning Lion in italian), he is never left outside unattended. If there is a dog loose on the property please let us know and we will bring the dog back to the neighbor's house - some neighbors have pets that find it difficult to remain on their own land [we are working on resolving this and it is getting better].

A car or bike is the best solution for getting around. However, there is one public bus that runs from the Post Office in Ausable Forks to the Government building in downtown Plattsburgh. It runs between 7 am and 7 pm with 4 stops per day. (Keesville/Ausable bus line)
