Located in Wilmington, this house is a dream. Guests will find four bedrooms, including three queen beds and one full bed, perfect for families or groups. Two bathrooms and a spacious living room with large stone fireplace. The heating ensures a cozy atmosphere no matter the season. With its superb layout and rustic charm, this amazing house invites guests to relax and unwind ideal for outdoor enthusiasts as it is steps away from the river and hiking trails.

This is a 4 bedroom, 2 full bath on the West Branch of the Ausable River (the section called Lake Everest). It features canoes and kayaks, hot tub, 2 miles of hiking trails, and perhaps the most beautiful back yard views in the Adirondacks, featuring Whiteface Mountain and gorgeous riverside views.

The lodge provides a full kitchen and dining area, along with a full Living room with brick fireplace and lots of couch room, all framed with bookcases providing endless reading material, geared towards Nature, travel, fiction and philosophy.

Wildlife includes bears, fox, coywolves, deer, eagles and the occasional moose. Firewood is provided for the large campfire, which accommodates about ten people. Listen to the evening concert of birds and crickets, while staring at the stars and planets overhead. This is a place to get away from your busy lives, relax and regroup, while taking in the wonders and mystery of Nature.

The spacious sun porch sleeps four in two beds, while there are three other bedrooms with queen size beds. All rooms have overhead fans, while one of them has an AC unit as well.

Your host lives in the north wing of the house with completely separate entry and parking. A writer and the owner of the Adirondack Wildlife Refuge, he's often traveling to do wildlife photography at National Parks and Wildlife Refuges from Alaska all the way down through Alberta and British Columbia, to the parks of the American Southwest, but he's never further than a phone call away if questions about the Lodge come up. Come enjoy one of the most beautiful sites in the Adirondack Mountains.

There is an active Bald Eagles nest directly across the river from where the canoes and kayaks are racked, and the nest has produced a surviving eaglet each of the last three years, so bring cameras and binoculars. Nesting season begins in late January to early February, with eaglets hatching around April 1st.

Sit around the campfire or walk down to the West Branch of the Ausable River, and use our hot tub, outside wood sauna, and then the strong in spirit can go jump in the lake! Fish, swim and use our canoes and kayaks along the Ausable, which in this area is also called Lake Everest. Lucky hikers and kayakers have spotted moose, bear, coywolf, fox, fisher and eagles, as well as songbirds and any bird of prey you'll find in the Adirondacks, from owls to hawks to falcons and osprey.
