About This Home

As of March 2022

The Ausable River Lodge is a private, rustic lodge tucked back into the woods with a large front and side yard in an idyllic park like setting. There are 16 acres, all of them assessable and usable, including a 3/4 mile hiking trail out back. Just 5 miles from Whiteface Mountain Ski Center and 4 miles outside the village of Lake Placid. There is over 1000ft. of owned sandy shoreline on the West Branch of the Ausable River. With 5 bedrooms and 3 baths, there is plenty of room to host large gatherings of family and friends. The large double sided stone fireplace can be enjoyed from both the dining and the living rooms. As an added bonus, there is a 10 person Swedish Sauna just outside the kitchen with a covered walkway and access from a downstairs bedroom. Formerly the Descente Lodge used during the 1980 Olympics. There are many details that give this property an abundance of charm and character, including diamond paned windows and rustic furniture. Being sold fully furnished.
