You will have access to all the grounds and the stone patio containing the BBQ.
The Neighborhood:
The house is located at the end of a dead-end branch of dead-end road. As such the traffic is minimal to none. The neighbors are very friendly and likely to wave as you pass.
We are associated with the community of Cliff Haven This community is a 2 min drive from the house, or about 15-20 min walk. These streets are quiet, a great place for children to ride their bikes or again for taking walks.
A little farther down the road, by car, you will find a grocery store, restaurants, gas stations, pharmacy and banks. All you need for last minute items. All you need within a 5 min distance.
Getting Around:
A car or bike is the best solution for getting around. However, there is one public bus that runs from the Post Office in Ausable Forks to the Government building in downtown Plattsburgh. It runs between 7 am and 7 pm with 4 stops per day. (Keesville/Ausable bus line)
