Beautiful outdoor nature getaway.
A group of ladies and I stayed at this home for our annual girls trip. It was beyond fabulous. All we needed was available and more! The outdoor kitchen and pool are very inviting. Witnessed many different birds, turkeys, cows and donkeys. A trip spent enjoying nature. We brought bikes. Bonus was a quaint little town …Lake Placid downtown with all the murals plus many kind of different adventures if inclined to leave the home at Al!
