Keene is a Lovely Area
The house is sequestered in the woods with a few properties around it, but only one in distant view. Our party consisted of two adults and two dogs, a small Golden and a Black Lab. The property was good for the dogs as there is a fenced in area on one side of the house. The house itself has a very narrow spiral staircase connecting the first and second floors and it was difficult to use it while carrying any large item. The upstairs area, which is the kitchen, LR and MBR have very dark paneled walls, the kitchen cabinets are also dark wood. The bathrooms up and down have been redone and the kitchen could use the same. Otherwise, the house was cozy, and the upstairs was large enough for the four of us (as the dogs would not attempt the stairway so remained in the upstairs area, which has two outside entrances).The owner is very nice and attentive and immediately resolved a couple of minor issues. Overall, the stay was relaxing. We hiked with the dogs, visited Lake Placid, enjoyed snowshoeing at the Cascade Welcome Center (where you can cross country ski or snowshoe without also purchasing a day pass), the Noon Mark Diner for pie and dinner at Forty Six. Keene and Keene Valley are lovely. I would recommend a visit.
