DESCRIPTION
Every once in a while the thought occurs to all of us. "I wonder what it would have been like to live in another time and place." Stop wondering and begin the journey. The time is the early 1900's and the place is the remote and pristine Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York.

Nestled among white pine, hemlock, and birch trees on the shore of beautiful Big Moose Lake you'll find a 1904 Adirondack rustic cabin, once part of the Grand Lakeview Lodge. Built in the palisades style of construction popular in the mid to late 1800's it features a porch facing the lake, quaint fireplace, kitchenette, and three sleeping rooms. This is a very special place where your memories will last a lifetime.

Now come with me, close your eyes and imagine a clear, crisp Adirondack day, you know the kind, the sky is bluer than blue, not a cloud and the breeze is gently blowing on your cheek bringing the aroma of a wood smoke fire down the lake. Slip into your canoe or kayak and head off towards North Bay, past the little island that guards the entrance or the inlet with it's magnificent marsh all the while watching for the Great Blue Heron stalking it's prey along the shoreline. Suddenly, your startled by the wail of the Loon as beckons to another in the distance. You arrive back to your floating dock settling in a comfortable Adirondack chair and watch the sun set across the lake behind Billy's Bald spot. Before you know it, on this cloudless night, the stars are out in all their glory, so close it seems that you can reach up grab a handful. Retire to the cabin and enjoy the warmth of a crackling fire in the quaint Adirondack style fireplace before heading to bed where you hear the waves lapping against the boulder strewn shoreline as the starlit sky surrenders to a thunder and lightening storm that echoes off the distant mountains while the pitter patter of the raindrops on the tin roof has lulled you into a deep restful sleep. Sometime, during the night, after the storm has passed you're awakened to the bone chilling sound of the coyote howling in the distance but in no time the balsam filled air has coaxed you back to sleep.

In the hustle and bustle of every day living our senses have been deprived of these glorious sensations.

The area around Big Moose Lake abounds with trails that lead the intrepid visitor to lake and mountain vistas, remote ponds and lakes or old railroad villages. Canoe, kayak, hike to your heart's content or visit a world class museum, Olympic village, or sight see many of the area's attractions.
