A-Frame | Hot Tub | Dog Friendly | Fenced Yard

The mountains are calling! Escape to cozy Blue Hour A-Frame and unwind in a peaceful setting in the rustic AuSable Acres wooded neighborhood. Blue Hour has been updated with modern amenities for your comfort. The fenced backyard is carefree for your pups to play in while you enjoy the hot tub and chiminea. Head over to Whiteface Mountain Ski Resort, just an 11 mile / 20 minute ride away, taking you through a scenic notch along the West Branch of the Ausable River. Lake Placid is 20 miles / 35 minutes away. The HOA allows one *unoccupied* camper / RV to be parked. Dog friendly, $75 per dog per stay, up to two dogs. Cats are not permitted due to guest allergies.

Our updated A-Frame log cabin is nestled on almost one acre, surrounded by tall birch and pine trees. The main space is open with high vaulted ceilings and windows that fill the space with natural light. Here you can enjoy the living room with the cozy warmth of the propane stove, record player, smart TV, workspace, and dining area. The kitchen is well-appointed. Also on the main floor are the primary bedroom with king bed, bathroom, and a sitting room with a full-sized pull out couch where the washer & dryer are located. Additional sleeping is located upstairs in the loft where you will find a comfortable queen bed. The backyard is fenced so your pups can run and play while you relax on the deck or enjoy time spent by the chiminea. The hot tub is waiting for you.
