Hello! Nancy and I invite you to visit the Adirondack Mountains in Northern New York State. Enjoy a wilderness experience with the comforts of home. Relax in a warm, spacious, Civil War era farmhouse on 200 acres powered by solar energy. Hiking, climbing, camping, boating, canoeing, white water rafting, mountain biking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, fishing and swimming are all minutes away. The Pharaoh Wilderness area, less than 5 miles to the south, contains many thousands of acres of mountain forest filled with numerous lakes, ponds and streams. The Bed and Breakfast is just 10 minutes from Lake George, a 32 mile stretch of water considered one of the most pristine and scenic lakes in the country. Just as close is beautiful Lake Champlain which stretches 123 miles along the eastern edge of the Adirondack State Park. The region is rich with numerous historical sites that take visitors back to the turbulent times that gave birth to our nation. Many of these locations attract reenactment enthusiasts from across our land. In addition to all of this natural beauty we are at the center of a ring of small cities about an hour away. Plattsburgh, Lake Placid, Glens Falls, and Burlington, Vermont all offer an excellent mix of outlet, antique and craft shops, restaurants and sports events as well as theater, arts and other cultural and educational activities. We are also less than three hours from the major city of Montreal and less than a days drive from anywhere in the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. A hearty breakfast is served with personal attention by your hosts John and Nancy Ockrin. We offer guidance to local recreational, historical and cultural attractions, special events and fine restaurants. Our home provides a unique lodging experience reflecting the nature and character of our family life.
