Keene Kottage 1890!! Waterfront in the High Peaks!



Keene Kottage is located in Keene Valley, NY. in the heart of the High Peaks of the Adirondack Mountains. Keene Kottage is reminiscent of many of the renowned Ausable Club Cottages and is positioned on the picturesque Ausable River. The Kottage is adjacent to several restaurants, quaint shops, and abundant trail systems. The Kottage is furnished for relaxation and enjoyment. The famous Mountaineer Shop is nearby and the Farmers Market is within walking distance.


The Kottage is in pristine condition and evokes a Kottage feeling in tune with the local community architecture. The Kottage is located on the picturesque East Branch of the Ausable River. The covered deck on the rear of the Kottage overlooks the river and provides a peaceful water sound effect to lull you to sleep after a busy day on the trails. For the outdoor enthusiast the High Peaks trails beckon from any direction. Whiteface Mountain Ski Area is a 15 minute drive and the Olympic Village of Lake Placid is also just a quick 15 minute drive on a scenic road through the Cascade Lakes. A unique feature of Keene Kottage is the 3 season sleeping porch off the Master Bedroom with a full size bed. Children feel that they are sleeping in a tree house. A perfect hideaway for a child or grandchild.


Guests will have full access to the property and grounds. The Kottage is equipped with a washer/dryer combination, gas grill on the deck overlooking the river, wi-fi throughout, and 2 flat screen televisions. The lawn overlooking the river is an area that is fenced in and would be perfect for young children . Please note for guest traveling with sports s, fishing equipment, etc please store these items in the storage shed adjacent to Keene Kottage or on the front deck area.

Perfect place!
This property and the owners are lovely! The place is well cared for and has everything you need and want. I cook a lot of the meals when we are on vacation and this place had great pots and pans which makes it so nice! The mattresses are very comfortable, and I loved the light summery quilts. The river was beautiful and the location is perfect for our family! This is a lovely place!

We really enjoyed that the river was right behind the house and the convenience of the market pretty much right across the street.

Beautiful Retreat
The house was lovely in all ways. from the comfortable rooms, to the kind Owners and the beautiful Ausable River meandering past the back yard. We had a family reunion in Keene Valley we will always remember. Thank you

My son and I came up to see the beauty that is the ADK. The Kottage was a perfect spot for us to base out experience from. The Kottage was great with the sound of the river and the trees rounding out our desire to be in nature (while having all the amenities). We plan to return and have another new wonderful experience!

We replaced a lot of burned out lightbulbs, but it was cool cuz they had them on hand. The cable internet didn't work for two days out of our four-day stay and phone calls to the owner/manager were not returned. We eventually did some hardware troubleshooting on our own, however, and made it work. If they keep the cable and do not upgrade to the locally-available fiber-optic internet provider (KVVI) you can expect about 9-10 Mbs down and less than 1 Mbs up on a good day. The TV signal is poor but that's probably not their fault. If your cell provider is Metro PCS there is no service in the house or environs. An upstairs indoor bloom of ladybugs was a little distracting, but not overwhelming, as those bugs, while numerous, are pretty cute. Many of the windows have a carpet of dead flies on the sills, the cleaning staff needs to remember to vacuum the windows on the inside. The tap water is tasty, the gas grill is great. Beds comfy. Toasty warm in the winter, too. Overall, pretty good place. Would recommend

The house is comfortable and inviting.
The house was all we expected. Clean, tidy and welcoming. Everything was as expected with no surprises. It was cold outside and a big snowfall too and we still had a great time. Colleen was very accommodating in regards to the snowstorm. We stayed late to let the roads clear. Thank you Colleen! We will come back this summer.
