Writers View Provides Inspiration and Serenity

The view is a breathtaking snapshot of the Adirondacks at this beautiful mountain chalet perched half way up Mt. Pisgah which hosts a family ski area 1200 feet away. At the end of the patio is a view of Mt. Marcy, NY States' highest. Isolation. You have peace and quiet as you enjoy Writers View named for Robert Louis Stevenson, Author who lived across the valley just 1 mile away. Lake Placid, site of the 1980 Winter Olympics is only 9 miles away. Great hiking and wildlife are all around.
A special note for guests bringing pets. We have lots of Deer, Bears, Bobcats and other assorted wildlife around. So, you must leash your pets and not let them run free. Or, they may be come pet food. Also, the Chalet is near year round homes that are within sight and approximately 200 to 300 yards away.

Winter Getaway!
The view was absolutely amazing! The location relative to town was perfect! Plenty of space for our families and always appreciate pet friendly. Terry was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Our only concern was the cleanliness. The carpets did not appear to be to be vacuumed upstairs. The fridge and dishwasher could have used more attention prior to our arrival. Lots of great attributes and these concerns are easily addressed!
