Chalet Getaway! Tolle Lage mit Mountain Stream auf Ski Mountain Rd! Whirlpool

Growing up in Central New York, just southwest of the Adirondack Mountains and often traveling south to the foothills of the Allegheny, I often found myself in the backseat of the family car staring out the window, soaking in the beauty that lay around me.

I dreamed of some day living in a beautiful A-frame house perched high up in those foothills looking down upon a little town far below in a grassy, green valley.

I could imagine looking out through a wall of windows as I sat within its sunny interior, and of sleeping in its open loft, below a glowing, wooden ceiling. There was a free standing fireplace and the modern furniture of the day that made my A-frame’s form complete.

But all that was the stuff of a little girl’s daydream, or at least, I thought it was.

In the Fall of 2017, I saw this, a realtor’s picture of what would, in 2018, become my little A-frame. It sat perfectly framed by a leafy canopy of trees. It looked as if it lived in a storybook, but now I see it had been living in this little girl’s dreams.
