Beaver Creek Lodge is a secluded 3 bedroom, 3 Bath lodge on 3 acres, about 3 miles from the Whiteface Ski Center, & about two miles from the Adirondack Wildlife Refuge. Beaver Creek is ringed by tall trees & mountains, & features a rustic porch for relaxing, while sipping your morning coffee, or watching the sun set, as well as a hot tub and a campfire in front of two huge glacial boulders. A fully equipped kitchen & a washer-dryer, complimentary high speed, wireless internet access & an HDTV flat screen, with satellite TV, exercise bench and recumbent bike; foosball, air hockey and 45" TV in the finished basement, making Beaver Creek Lodge your home-away-from-home in the Adirondacks. The master bedroom has a queen-sized bed and two more can sleep in the trundle bed, while two guest rooms have a queen, & two singles respectively. There is a full pull-out sofa in the den/living room, and a futon in the finished basement. The wood stove is backed up by a conventional furnace, and there's a room downstairs for stowing away skis & hiking gear. No other houses are visible from the property, so the desire to get away from it all is enhanced & fulfilled. Runners, cyclists, cross-country skiers and hikers will run out of time, long before they run out of stunning mountain vistas to enrich their exercise, which is a major reason Ironman is held here every July. When your busy vacation day fades to dusk, there are several fine restaurants within a few miles of Beaver Creek Lodge, and if you want to make a full night of it, the Olympic Village of Lake Placid beckons, twelve miles away through one of the most beautiful drives in America, through the Wilmington notch along the West Branch of the Ausable River. Mountain Biking is big in the area. The Hardy Road Trailhead is about a mile from the house. Don't forget your camera, as wildlife sightings include bobcat, red fox, fisher, the harmless Adirondack black bear and moose. If you don't see any of them, Guests may visit the nearby Adirondack Wildlife Refuge, where friends and family can meet and learn all about wolves, coywolves, coyotes, fox, bobcats, and see educational demonstrations with non- releasable birds of prey, like Bald Eagles, Great Horned Owls, Barred Owls, Screech Owls, Peregrine Falcons, Red-Tailed Hawks, and a crazy raven named Abie the Fishman, who was rehabilitated, but hangs around to entertain visitors. This is a relaxing Lodge, where you will put your busy careers on hold, spend quality time with friends and family, and renew yourselves, surrounded by the incomparable beauty of the Adirondack Mountains. Sorry, no pets, and absolutely no smoking indoors. Beaver Creek Lodge has a minimum 2 night stay most of the year, but 4 night minimum in July and August. A refundable $300 security deposit applies to all rentals which is refunded directly by VRBO.
