About the host

Hosted by Anne or Rick

Host profile image
I've lived here in the Adirondacks for 37 years. I love the outdoors and this area has plenty to offer right out the back door. I have a Whiteface pass, hiked the Northville Placid trail with my son in 2013. Just finished the 46 high peaks with my daughter in August 2024. I roll out my back door and go fishing in the West Branch of the AuSable River.
There are mountain bike trails and parks within a 5 minute bike ride. I feel very fortunate to live here.

Why they chose this property

When you arrive into the Hamlet of Wilmington, you are surrounded by the most beautiful scenery available to mankind. It doesn’t take you breath away literally but it does catch your attention. WOW! I’m proud to live here.

What makes this property unique

Our home was custom built to suit our way of life. Kitchen is important. We have a very user friendly kitchen with all of the amenities. Vaulted ceiling in the great room which encompasses the kitchen. The wall of windows with screens allows a view and the beautiful sound of the AuSable River. It’s so magnificent. Large primary bedroom with plenty of room to sit and read a book , take a soak in the tub or a steam in the steam shower. Private door to the private deck and hot tub as well. Sorry no TV in this room. ( actually not that sorry. Enjoy this space and watch TV back home 😎
Head on downstairs to 9’ ceilings. Theater like projection screen and sound. Two bedrooms with a king bed in one and a queen bed in the other. There’s a gym with treadmill, bike, RACK and small weights and stretch bands. All an exit to the lawn where there’s an outdoor firepit and chairs. If you enjoy a small campfire, please do as Smokey the Bear says. Put it out. Hit it with water, stir the ashes, pull water in it , stir the ashes and do it for the 3 rd time to make positively sure it’s out.
