Peace and quiet only that the country and the stars can give you. This sprawling ranch log home consists of 3 bedrooms, (total sleeping accommodations for 9, 10 if one on LR sofa), 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen with all appliances, dining room, and living room. A fieldstone propane-fired fireplace (winter use only) is shared by both the living room and dining room, both with a view of the private pond and natural country foliage. Other amenities include central air conditioning, and two full-size hot water heaters for good hot showers. Although very private in location, the high speed fiber optic internet and living room Smart TV allow you to stay connected. You can use your own Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime accounts on this TV.
The home features a large front deck and covered porch overlooking the ponds where Canadian Geese nest in the spring, and bullfrogs sound off in summer evenings. The back covered porch is an ideal location to watch deer and turkey wander in from the woods for their dinner in the backyard apple orchard. The 40 acre grounds consist of a forest with hiking trails, meadows and rolling hills, bass ponds around the yards (catch and release only), rowboat and canoe. Firepit by front pond with covered, lighted picnic table area, apple orchard, and a creek for fishing at the back of the property boundary.
No light pollution here. You can see the Milky Way overhead in our backyard on clear nights.
Snowmobilers are welcome here, and the home is a mile from local snowmobile trails that connect to the Tug Hill and the ADKs. Only 3 miles from Interstate-81, 10 minutes to fishing for Salmon, Steelhead and Browns in the Salmon River, 25 minutes to Oneida Lake, 20 minutes to Lake Ontario.

NOTE: The washer and dryer/laundry room is available for rentals of 5 (five) nights or longer. For rentals of 3-4 nights, the laundry room is locked. The assumption is that you are able to bring enough changes of clothes/towels with you for your shorter stay.
NOTE: We can sometimes accommodate up to a late checkout of 4 PM for a $100 fee, but you'll need to ask beforehand. [If another renter is coming the day you are leaving, this is not possible, as we need to clean] If you have a normal checkout time of 11 AM, please be considerate and check out by 11 AM.
If you are considering an early check-in, possibly as early as 11 am, please ask beforehand to see if it's possible. The same $100 fee will apply.
