Jay, New York
The River House is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom chalet that sleeps 8, tucked away in the Ausable Acres in Jay, NY, right on the West Branch Ausable River. This cozy home is on a private, secluded lot, yet close to many of the Adirondack area attractions making it an ideal location to make your home base during your winter getaway in the Adirondacks.
The Ausable Acres community is located in Jay, NY and is not far from several popular local destinations. Whiteface Mountain, the “greatest vertical drop east of the Rockies” is a short drive away. Lake Placid isn’t much farther and has great shopping and dining in addition to all of the Olympic history from hosting twice, including in 1980 for the Miracle on Ice victory. The property is also centrally located between Santa’s Workshop, the Covered Bridge in Jay, High Falls Gorge, Ausable Chasm & Mt. Von Hoevenberg.
The main floor consists of a well-stocked kitchen (pots, pans, silverware, cooking utensils, drinking glasses, plates, mugs, wine glasses, bakeware, etc.) with a dishwasher and a brand new fridge, an open living room with a 70-inch 4K TV, a sunroom with a small dinette as well as some rocking chairs and a small sofa, a king bedroom with a TV and a full bathroom. The 2nd floor was completely remodeled this year with brand new flooring in both bedrooms (queen bed with a TV in the first and a queen over queen bunk in the second) along with a fully remodeled bathroom with a massive walk-in shower and jack & jill sinks.
As we are a member of the Ausable Acres Property Owner's Association, you will have access to cross-country skiing/snowshoeing trails right within the neighborhood. You will also find ample opportunities to do winter hiking, ice fishing, snowmobiling, dog sled rides and more in the surrounding area.
We love this home and are excited to share it with others to experience everything it has to offer!
Exactly as advertised. Beautiful home in the woods by the river. Exceptionally clean. Loved the no smoking policy. We are sensitive to allergens and scents which made this house perfect for us
A very quiet and relaxing house on the river. It had everything our family needed. It was a little further from Lake Placid than I had imagined but was easily doable.
What we loved about the house: - beautiful location, the river & views from the windows - clean! - room to be together as a family or on your own to read or watch a show - clear and prompt communication with owner Highlights of our trip: - riverside fires in the evenings - Summit Loop hike- right in Ausable Acres - kayaking on Lake Eaton, Lake Everest and Lake Placid - fishing up and down the river along rt 86 - riverside dinner at RF McDougal’s - pizza and dessert at Fratelli’s - root beer floats at A&W Thank you, Dan, for sharing your beautiful home! We loved our time there!
The River House was a perfect destination for a quiet family vacation. The house situated along the Ausable River has all the modern conveniences to make you feel at home, while providing the serenity of nature at your doorstep.
I was very happy with the property and location. The river at the bottom of the garden was amazing. Truly peaceful.
The Riverfront home provided a nice remote stay between Lake Placid (30+ minutes) and Ausable Chasm. The location directly on the river was peaceful. The house is a nice design with an open concept of dining/livingroom area...albeit the space could use better lighting. The kitchen is adequate with big new refrigerator and Keurig. Oven door handle is broken, and the door won’t stay open… potentially dangerous. Sunroom is very pretty and inviting. King bedroom & downstairs bathroom are also okay, adequate. The open spiral staircase leads to an area of two newly renovated bedrooms and bathroom, all very nice. Take note, there are shades on most windows in the house but not the queen bedroom. We taped trash bags to one window as the bed is directly next to it… 5:30 is way too early to wake up on vacation! There were no paper towels as advertised (well, 2 sheets). No tissues. TP, was, shall we say, not like home-- The house was generally clean although we did have an issue with ants coming from crumbs under the sofa cushions. Once we vacuumed the sofa and sprayed with provided Raid, the ant problem dissipated. Dan was attentive but couldn’t really help from afar. He promised to speak with his cleaner for future. We managed and all was okay. I would recommend this property. It worked well for 2 couples; we didn’t use the 2nd upstairs bedroom (queen over queen bunk). There would be room for more people/kids, just note you would be sharing the jack & jill bathroom.
The place was great. Beautiful location right next to the river, walkable neighborhood. Very comfortable, had everything we needed. Close to Lake Placid, Whiteface and lots of trails. Will come back again when we can do more hiking.
The house is perfect for a family vacation, well equipped and lots of room. It’s located about 30 minutes from Lake Placid, very convenient in a quiet neighborhood.
A great stay at this house. Nice clean space, accurately described and pictured in listing. Beautiful setting on the river. We enjoyed our stay. Owner was attentive and helpful. Highly recommend. If back in the area would not hesitate to stay again. Thanks
We absolutely LOVED this house. The house was very spacious, clean, cute and comfortable! We will definitely be back.
Our stay was amazing! The house is perfect!!
Dan was a hero. I’d you stay here you’ll find out for yourself. Very communicative and accommodating. Highly recommend the river house.
