This retro-bungalow is nestled into the base of West Mountain with a quiet mountain side for a backyard. You will be crazy close to dozens of Upstate NYs best vacation attractions & destinations while privately ultra-cozy in this 1960s retreat home. Built in the late 1950's, this home was constructed before there was an official road to it. When the county came to build a road it was decided that it would be in the back yard. So what seems like the front of the house is actually the back.
The space Upon arrival you will be entering the kitchen. Immediately within view is the dining table and sliding glass doors leading to the screened-in 3-season porch. The house has a pleasing footprint which takes you either into the livingroom or to the hallway leading to the bathroom, 2- bedrooms and library which can serve as a 3rd bedroom using the converting futon. Both the library and the 2nd bedroom are roughly 9' x 11' plus closets and reside on the north side of the house. The master bedroom, on the southeast side of the house, is about 11' x 13' plus a double closet and it has an on-suite entrance into the bathroom. The library also contains 100's of books, movies and cd's for your enjoyment. Please be kind and return all of these items to their original spaces. Hardwood floors dominate the house except in the bath and kitchen. All walls have fresh bright paint as of 2022. Also new this past year is almost all of the kitchen appliances including a panini-press, an air-fryer/ toaster-oven, microwave, can-opener and coffee maker. The kitchen is all ready to go with new cooking pans and utensils. The kitchen also houses a new LG Washer & Dryer set. The West side porch is extremely open yet very private. It's glass doors share a wall with the living room which is full of new retro-styled wood and leather furnishings. The TV is positioned over the fireplace and a small office space is just to the right of that. There is Wi-Fi throughout, streaming TV channels and an on-sight ROKU device for use by those with their own ROKU account info. Both TVs also will accommodate a HDMI device if you have one with you. Guest access The entire house is accessible to our guests except the locked basement. Outside, the yard is all yours as well. there is only one neighbor to the East of the home. Across the street is a currently unoccupied house. The rest is mostly undeveloped woodlands on the side of West Mountain. Although we own the land we advise that you ONLY venture there if you are ready for no pathways, lots of wet marshland, thorns and the potential for wildlife encounters. The very backside of the yard leads to the back-lot of our plant nursery which is off limits from this point of entry. Other things to note Long stays may be interrupted by lawn and garden maintenance workers. Some improvements to guest amenities in the yard are planned for 2023 including a fire pit and seating area as well as an outside grilling station. The cherries on the front yard tree are edible as well as the apples in the backyard. Both the circuit breakers and the furnace are located in the basement which is off limits. If these two items need attention then please contact immediately.

Our stay was wonderful. The home was in a very quiet location and had a beautifully landscaped lot which we shared with wild turkeys in the morning and deer in the evening. Tracy, our host, provided us with an array of items that helped us start our stay with morning breakfasts, and afternoon lunches. We enjoyed the laundry conveniences and the large screened in porch area. We would definitely stay again if our host, Tracy, would have us. Thank you, Tracey you were a very caring host.
My niece and I had a great stay at this bungalow. Location is close to all amenities but on a very quiet Street with a serene creek running behind it. The screened-in sunroom is such a lovely place to spend time... The beds were comfortable and the house was so well appointed. Everything you could possibly need. The owner was very friendly and efficient. We enjoyed the local restaurants, we tubed the lazy river, went to the garnet mine, took a boat ride, took a train ride, played mini golf, zip lines and did a bit of shopping. This location is convenient to all of those things.
My husband & I were going to the ADK Wine Fest and we wanted a nice place to relax in. Tracy’s place fit the bill. Awesome mattress, comfy enclosed porch, comfy couches, even had breakfast items waiting for us when we arrived. Nice quiet dead end street, a beautiful pond to sit near & a fire pit. Took our bikes and went on some trails. Queensbury is such a beautiful area! Hoping to back next year. Thank you Tracy:)
I was kicked out of my home so my wife could entertain her friends from out of state. So, a friend and I planned a long weekend to attend the races at Saratoga Race Course. The home was exactly how it was depicted. Very clean and the host was fantastic. He explained the property to me thoroughly and was available via text 24/7. We had a wonderful weekend.
