Newly Renovated Cabin in the Heart of the Adirondack High Peaks!

Enjoy over 1250 feet of private access on the famous East branch of the AuSable River while you stay in this newly renovated 1840's Adirondack home. The East Branch of the Ausable River is world-renowned for its fly-fishing enjoyment and White Face Mountain is world renowned for skiing. The wide expanse of the River with pools, rocks and deep open areas provide exciting trout action. A secluded private beach is a special feature of our property.

Originally constructed in 1840, this home has pine walls, hardwood floors and rustic decor that complement the natural surroundings of the Adirondacks. This is a non-smoking home that has a large eat-in kitchen, a master bedroom with private en-suite, two bedrooms, two and a half baths, a living room and a game room with plenty of space for families and lots of games and puzzles to enjoy. . Roam over five acres that include open meadows, a sunflower field, a pine forest or relax on the covered porch to enjoy the sound and sight of the rushing River.

On this site is a 24 x 26 barn that harkens back to days gone by. A quiet road lends easy access to the property. New York State land directly across from the property protects the privacy of fishermen, swimmers and sunbathers. The shoreline has sandy beach areas and is large enough for setting up a tent, blankets for a picnic and reclining in lounge chairs. The property is along the Ironman Bike course - located just on the Keene/Upper Jay border.

Set in the 46 high peaks, with 14 located in Keene, just 3 miles away. The home is easy access for early morning hikes! Many recreational activities are also nearby for year-round adventure. For fishing, hiking, canoeing, tubing, rock climbing, biking, hunting, golfing, horseback, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and downhill skiing etc.... this is a magical spot!

Whiteface Mountain is 6 miles and Mount Von Hovenberg is 7 miles. Also convenient to the quaint village of Lake Placid and the Olympic Center Complex, just 20 minutes away. International airports at Montreal, Canada, Albany, New York and Burlington Vt, are less than 2 hours away by car. Lake Champlain and the ferries to Vermont less than 40 minutes to the East.

We are happy to invite your 4-legged friends to join you at the River House - they will love it too! We do charge $150 per pet during your stay to accommodate this request. Therefore, when you are booking your reservation, please be sure to accurately reflect your intentions.

Wonderful cabin at a beautiful location. Cabin was nicer and bigger than expected, large bedrooms, and all rooms recently updated and decorated. We understand this was the Owner's first winter rental and we recommend this home anytime of year. Owner's were very helpful and communication was great.

Perfect honeymoon
The river house is beautiful, and in a great location to everywhere we wanted to go. The fire ring above the river made for some wonderful, peaceful evenings. They dogs loved the close access to the river as well. We will be back next time we visit the Adirondacks!

Costa Family Vacation
We had a wonderful stay at River House Magic in July! The house is prefect. Very clean and spacious with beautiful decor. The area is lovely and very private. Our dog Ryder especially loved the beach by the river. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone. Only issue we had was that the internet was spotty at times which made it difficult to use. Thank you, Trish and Mark, for letting us use your house.

Summer in the ADKs
We had a fantastic stay at the river house. Easy check in, the house was clean and comfortable. Very private and peaceful setting, we only saw one other person all week. The river was amazing, my son caught a few brown trout. Morning coffee on the front porch and evening camp fires made for an ideal trip. Close to Keene and Lake Placid as well as a number of hiking trails. Lots of great family time. We hope to be back soon.

Third annual visit
The updates to the upstairs are beautiful, and makes it more useful to everyone staying upstairs. The outdoor shower addition to get the sand off before going inside is fantastic, we used it daily. These were the new features. Our family had yet another fabulous vacation at the River House. Mark and Trish you truly have a gem of a place and we thank you again for sharing it with us.

This beautiful home will make your heart sing!
The home is beautiful. The location is terrific. We are an outdoorsy family, and the quick walk to the river across from the house and a short drive to Lake Placid and to numerous 46ers in the Adirondacks exceeded our expectations. The hosts were quick with excellent feedback and sent thoughtful emails before our arrival with suggestions for reservations in case we were eating out and a few helpful things to know about their home. HIGHLY recommend.

Beautiful location and home
We loved our stay, the house was very clean and cozy with everything we needed to have a great hiking experience. We hiked many of the very close and beautiful trails and was impressed by how friendly everyone we met was and the town was cute and quaint. Lake Placid is pretty close and has the best grocery store (Hannifords) that I have ever been in! The owners of the property were very responsive to our every need and gave us great tips on trails and places to go. Overall we had a wonderful time!

Fall Getaway
We loved the property and esp the fire pit and chairs etc down by the river. The house was immaculate and very comfortable. We didn’t want for anything. We didn’t light the wood stove because our 1 year old grandson was there overnight…but the house was heated so we didn’t need to, in any event. The house is on the East branch of the Au Sable River, and we found out after arriving that the fly fishing is pretty non-existent in that location but was perfect for casting practice! The only things we would add would be that the linens for the bedroom on the first floor could be upgraded to newer crisp sheets that fit the bed better. Also, we had a few tiny, furry visitors in the kitchen overnight, but that can be remedied easily. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Upper Jay and would highly recommend staying on Ark Road! The foliage and views during the drives to various places were amazing and breathtaking!
